I am the guy with the AB Harmony 120 just like yours which I got in January 2007. You mentioned about the redness on your ear, and I wonder whether it is the big PowerCel Plus that you're wearing that causes the redness? I've experienced some redness before from wearing the big Powercel Plus for a day. That battery is too heavy; it is rather used for spare. I switched back to PowerCel Slim and no more redness. What strategy is your MAPs? I find myself very comfortable using HiRes-120-S for speech and music (72dB IDR). It produces very accurate to natural sounds. HiRes-120-P is too loud and noisy which I didn't like. You also said about the sound cutting in and out. What exactly was the causes? I think It is due to the "Auto Gain" feature you might have on your MAP. It is like an automatic volume knob that turns up and down itself in real-time in responds to intensity of sound around you. It doesn't work well with HiRES-120-P as I've tried, except HiRes-120-S, as the cutting in and out is too much which causes you to miss a moment. I don't need Auto Gain anymore now as I've adapted.

I tried one Phonak FM and they told me a price of INR 230,000. That is expensive. I don't think that you will get it lower than what was offered to you in India. However try to bring from abroad but check the warranty issue. Good luck Rajiv Hi Sharad:

I am still looking to purchase smartlink SX of Phonak and 2 receivers, but unable to find the right seller (I mean offering it at reasonable price). Please tell me a seller offering it at lowest price. Thank you. Thanks for reply.
