Hello,

Is it possible to wear different levels of hearing aids? For example Phonak 70 or 90 on one ear and 30 or 50 on the other? Thank you!
 
Maybe possible, but confusing!! You would need to set them one-at-a-time. And, when you want to work on setting the other hearing aid you would need to click the (Incompatible hearing aid / Fit this hearing aid) on the other side.

But that's not all. There is lots of binaural communication that goes on between the two hearing aids. Yes, they talk to each other all the time. For example; switching from a quiet environment to a noisy environment. So what happens when one of the hearing aids lacks the features to support what the other hearing is capable of performing? I dunno? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In Phonak Target you can start a Training Session to play around with setting these up one-at-a-time. But you would also need to study the features of each model to see which features are incompatible and presumably (disabled)?
