Good morning

Again, I apologize for the translation

I am still researching my next hearing aids

In terms of features, I like the Starkey brand.

However, the Genesis range has not yet arrived in Colombia and I think it will take a while

So I will have to choose the Evolv.

Speaking of other brands, in my country you can also get Amplicom and Fonad.

These latter, in older technologies such as Marvel, are very expensive being older, and are not Made For Iphone.

Back to the Evolv, I think I will choose the Evolv 2400.

But I have several questions:

I don't know if the RIC or ITC type is better. I am completely blind, and I don't know which ones are better for my use with glasses.
Has anyone tried the ITC type and what is your experience? They tell me that these are made specifically for me, and that it is very difficult to return them if I don't feel good about them.
Do you know if the ITC have a physical button to answer calls from the iPhone?
How do you answer calls on the iPhone with RIC or ITC?
I currently work with MacOS and Windows computers. Can I make VoiceOver and Jaws play through the hearing aid?
How could I handle this situation?
If not, do you think it is a good idea to take off the aids to work on the computer?
Excuse me if I ask more than a small child, but I have too many doubts and I would like to hear your experiences in the real world.
I also tell you that next Thursday, at one of the places where I am investigating the Starkey, a Starky specialist will attend, but I know that he will not be able to answer some of these questions, mainly those of the screen reader.
I really appreciate you writing your usage experiences here to make a better decision.
Happy and blessed day
Sincerely
Alejandro
