RESOUND LINKS - POOR STREAMING SOUND QUALITY
Starting a new thread on this issue, separate from the connectivity issues that dominate most of the threads on RESOUND LINKS aids.
The streaming quality is awful. This has been noted on other treads as a besides. The sound has been described as "thin" and "tinny" as would I. To a degree I can correct this by the tone controls on the Resound App; pushing base up to maximum, and treble to minimum. So what's going on?
I have a moderate dropping high frequency loss, corrected with BTE Linx9's and standard domes. Listen to live/speakers/headphones and it sounds good. Listen by streaming only, dreadful. It strikes me that the frequencies missing from the streamed sound are those that aren't augmented in my profile, because my hearing at these lower frequencies (1K and less) is essentially normal and are adequately heard directly. What I am hearing in streamed sounds is the augmented frequencies as required to normalise hearing (ie those above 1k), and thus missing those frequencies I would normally hear directly without aid assistance (ie those below 1K). Now when streaming there is no direct sound to hear leaving only the higher frequencies that my profile requires
.When I raised this with my audiologist, it went totally over his head. When he tried streaming with brand of aid it sounded good, and he could not understand what I was complaining about. But then he does NOT need aids and I assume that any aid he tried had a flat augmentation spectrum. By my argument such a spectrum would indeed give reasonable streaming quality since it covers the full bandwidth all of which is generated by the transducer.
I put this as both a question and a proposed explanation. Does any one else experience these problems, and concur or refute my hypothesis?
