Upgraded from standard UK NHS Phonak Naida. Very curious to hear people’s thoughts on these aids.This is my first time using Ric aids which are far more comfortable I can tell already - its too early for me to really comment on sound yet but my first feeling of that I’m quite impressed with the battery life so far knocking 45-50 hours on one charge. They feel crisper too, some things feel too loud and many ‘s’ sounds are very ‘ssshssssey’ sounding. People I think seem to be able to hear me better over Bluetooth phone calls on busy streets.

Any tips?
I really want to get music sounding as best as possible.

So we know and love our favorite band for all kinds of reasons. Across their career The Cure have used a pretty vast pallet of sounds and shades with their music. Something that frequently comes up is the use of largely synth led artificial string / orchestral sounds and tones it feels sort of occasional when a real for instance violin comes out for instance on To Wish Impossible Things.

After watching the live This is a Lie video that was posted to celebrate 30 years of Wild Mood Swings it really got me thinking that to my knowledge they’ve never done a bunch of gigs backed by an orchestra augmenting their songs to the grandest form behind the band live on each song.
I know I’d pay good money to see them do something like this. Off the top of my head a bunch of songs excluding stuff from Disintegration (cos they all would) that would work in this setlist.

Imagine how dramatic songs like these could sound:

Underneath The Stars
Alone
Burn
Lost
Cut Here
Hanging Garden
Sinking

After just writing a few songs I realized that the list will easily get too long and I’m at work! But you get what I mean anyway I’m thinking along the lines of what Nada Surf did with the Peaceful Ghosts live album.

Anyone had much luck seeing the film here yet?
