Yes, my directional hearing is also near perfect with the Oticons. And I can
understand fast talking young people on TV once again. Also puts me back
into the conversation at restaurants and other social occasions.

Hi Lloyd,
Yes my directional hearing is much improved! I couldn't even hear most of
the birds before, let alone discern the direction! :)
I was always amazed when birding with people like Keith Brandwood who would
have picked up and identified 10+ species by call alone before i had even
seen or heard anything! Now i have to learn all the calls from scratch
pretty much though so I'm still pretty hopeless at birding by ear.....but
slowly getting better. I know you won't have that same problem though!
Cheers
Dave

I am in the same boat! One ear is worse than the other and consequently I
have lost directional hearing - rather embarrassing when you have to ask
people with you where the call is coming from! Do these aids help that
problem at all? Would appreciate your opinions.
There is an American device built for people with high end hearing loss -
some details below - does anybody know anything about it or had any
experience with it?

The SongFinder is an advanced digital device aimed at bird enthusiasts who
suffer from high frequency hearing loss and who are unable to hear
high-pitched bird songs in their natural surroundings. Unlike conventional
amplifying-type hearing aids, the Songfinder works by lowering the frequency
of high-pitched songs into a range where the user has normal or near-normal
hearing. This method avoids the many pitfalls of extreme amplification.
Furthermore, the SongFinder is a two-channel "binaural" device that allows
the user to determine the directions and distances of singing birds. The
SongFinder offers an elegant and tasteful solution for aging birders and
other nature lovers who can no longer hear high singing birds.
