It has been suggested that the Rexton Cobalt 16 id a good fit for my hearing loss. My loss is shown below. I am currently using a pr of Seimans accuris life open ear units. I cannot seem to find any tech info on the cobalt units. anyone have an opinion? Any aids more appropriate? I prefer the open ear technology. Thank you.

Hearing loss:

250 20 35
500 35 35

1000 30 25
1500 30 30
2000 40 35
3000 65 75
4000 95 95

8000 90 100

Rexton is a Siemens company, and the Cobalt 16 appears to be similar to the Siemens Pure 500. Both are open fit receiver in canal BTEs.

I googled this on the Cobalt:

Phonak Audeo Yes IX's would be more appropriate for your loss, your Rexton Cobalt's will not hit 4K and further.

okay and thanks for the comments. I will try the audeo yes IX. I have also tried the oticon epoq xw and it seems to be somewhat better than my siemans units. Quite expensive tho.
