Would you prefer to set these OTC hearing aids up yourself at home, or to see an audiologist and get help? Matthew
I'm so glad an audiologist package is an option. As a first time buyer researching and with tinnitus, I think I would opt for the audiologist package provided it is affordable and with some type of maintenance & care thrown into the mix. After I learned the ropes however, I think I would try setting them up myself in a future pair of aids.
@@cgrape22 I agree 100%! Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, Matthew

Hello everyone 👋 Thanks for your interest in the All-Day Clear family of OTC hearing aids! We're here to offer some updates and answer questions you may have. Both Android and iPhone users will be happy to hear that both All-Day Clear and All-Day Clear Slim will indeed have full Bluetooth functionality for streaming audio and taking phone calls wirelessly. We have a new website for researching them here, but of course, feel free to ask any questions you may have here as well! Here's the link: otc.sennheiser-hearing.com/us/en
Where can I buy these hearing aids in Europe?
Hi Sennheiser. Whilst I completely understand that I will not have gained any favour with you as a result of my other comments, may I ask a completely genuine question about the Slim version of the product? With so much of the tech contained in the earpiece (receiver, microphones), why did you need to design such a large behind the ear section? It appears to be slightly slimmer than the standard model but considerably longer and possibly larger overall. Is there any possibility that you will be considering a completely in the ear version in the future, similar to the Sony cre-e10?
@@peter7239 That's a good question. The user is at the center of our design philosophy. This means we offer different styles and shapes in our OTC hearing aid products. We listen closely to what consumers tell us and strive to ensure we deliver. Your feedback on style is helpful and we will consider it for further development. Thanks for taking to the time to write, if you have any other questions or concerns please send us feedback through our website and we'll do our best to answer all your questions otc.sennheiser-hearing.com/us/en/contact
These HAs are now advertised as available on Sennheiser's site. Hopefully, you'll post an analysis soon. Appreciate all your content. I'm psyched, yet remain skeptical. But I just might trial these since they're RIC and come with open domes ( no occlusion). As a musician, I've been using Sennheiser headphones exclusively since 1972.

Would you recommend these or the new Jabra Pro 20?
Matthew, just using the Hearing Tracker audio samples/sound performance measurements , how can the Sennheiser All Clear measure so poorly vs the Sennheiser Conversation Clear (1.0 vs 3.6 in the noisy room performace, for example), when the latter would seem to be marketed, priced etc as inferior, as not even a hearing aid, but as a non FDA-approved ear bud?
the picture you posted, the charger is the same as for paradise and marvel. For me, who has Paradise, this means that I will still be able to buy a charger if mine breaks. Usually, the manufacturer stops producing the old accessories, so the person is forced to search on ebay.
Well I'm definitely glad that Sennheiser released their first over the counter hearing aids the name needs a bit of work all day and all day clear slim that doesn't exactly roll off the tongue so to speak
Do the standard-sized instruments have a telecoil? And can the rechargeable batteries be changed by the user themselves or will they have to be sent if they stop keeping a charge?
Hey Juliette, these are great questions and I’ll make sure to include them when I get my hands on them. Thanks for taking your time out to comment, Matthew
Hi Juliette-- All-Day Clear will not have a telecoil -- interfacing with a telephone would happen over Bluetooth, on a Bluetooth enabled device such as an iPhone or Android phone. The battery is not user-replaceable, however, are designed and tested to last well beyond the warranty period.
Thanks for the video. I wish I could find an OTC aid that works well with music and I don't mean the streaming kind. The name Sennheiser makes me hopeful that they will be somewhat music oriented.
Hey JBF, I’d love to think that they would help however it takes a lot of work to get hearing tech working well for music. Check out this video and I hope it helps… Matthew

@@HearingTracker Great video on music. I bookmarked it! Thanks 👍
All-Day Clear will indeed have the capability to stream music and take calls, keep in mind that naturally, our tuning of All-Day Clear is focused on speech intelligibility.
@@sennheiser: I personally believe that streaming isn't as important to we musicians as it is to be able to adjust as close as possible to a flat response while playing and mixing, based on our imported hearing audiogram. That would be a update for the app and HA functionality. Looking forward to trialing them based on my long term use of your professional headphones.
@@domenic323Regarding your final sentence, the Sennheiser name attached to this product is nothing more than marketing. These aids were developed long before Sonova acquired any interest in the Sennheiser company. Sennheiser has already made it clear that the aids are primarily designed for voice only, which is unfortunate for musicians and audiophiles.
I know you said it was a *feature of the Sony that they work a collaboratively as a pair. What about these upcoming Sennheisers? What if I only want one? Can you buy just one? Will these work as a single v. pair?
Hey Marvin, great question. As far as I'm aware they're only available as a pair. Matthew
Hello! Great question. All-Day Clear will only be sold as a pair. For wearers where only 1 hearing aid is required, we suggest seeing a hearing care professional to curate the best solution.
Hi Matthew. I have posted my comments elsewhere on the internet and I don't want to sound like a broken record, but from the information I have been provided with to date (including from a Sonova employee), the new All Day Clear Slim was already test marketed in Australia and elsewhere as the HelloGO over 2 years ago. I have also exchanged emails with Abram Bailey about this. In other words, the aid was developed well before Sonova acquired a part of the Sennheiser company. So the question is, is the use of the Sennheiser name simply marketing or has the Sennheiser expertise and experience in matters of higher-end audio actually contributed to the development of this aid? As a (non-streaming) audiophile and musician I can only hope it is the latter, but I fear it is unlikely. I look forward to viewing your review in due course.
Hi Peter - Thanks for the question here and your direct email question to us from just a short while ago. As mentioned there the HelloGo product was indeed a concept for which we could evaluate and evolve, which has since been tested and improved upon. Sennheiser All-Day Clear is a hearing aid, so it is focused on the most important aspects of a self-fitting hearing aid which is improving speech intelligibility, all day battery life, vibrant and clear sound, and shaping the audio according to the user's needs via the app. For those seeking audiophile music reproduction, please note that All-Day Clear was not made for this application, and that the audiophile product lines from Sennheiser will continue to be developed and sold.
@@sennheiserthanks for your response. I completely understand the primary purpose of a hearing aid I certainly am not expecting audiophile levels of music reproduction. However, much is being said in the pre release marketing about the superb sound quality of these new aids. What precisely does that mean? What are the improvements that have been made? Will the "live music" mode offer any genuine improvement for a casual musician or ambient music listener or will the dynamic range and bandwidth fall short as with most previous attempts at a music mode? Has any real effort been put into developing and improving the live music mode since the Sennheiser acquisition?
@@sennheiser To put it more bluntly, it is somewhat disingenuous, is it not, to inform a potential purchaser with an interest in music (audiophile or otherwise) to look elsewhere in the Sennheiser product range, when Sonova is using the Sennheiser name (and well-established reputation in the audio industry) so prominently in the marketing of this new hearing aid. I understand of course that Sonova is not the first corporation to do this and will certainly not be the last.
...but only for US consumers, even though you have a British accent ;-)
Yes! OTC hearing aids are only available in the US…
The HearingTracker following is global and we report on Worldwide updates in the hearing tech industry!
I’m happy to put on an American accent if you’d prefer? Let me know ;)
@@HearingTracker Please keep ze accent :)
Hahahaha! Done. Matthew
OTC hearing aids may cause more harm than good, let alone for an audiologist’s sake
Hey Kayla, it would be great to hear your concerns. Matthew
@@HearingTracker As I was saying, otc hearing aids are a scam and you do need an audiologist to do the work
Why are you reviewing a product that you haven't even seen yet!?
Hi Pamela, thanks for taking the time to comment, but have you watched the video? I mention at least three times that I'll give them a full review following their release. This is a launch vid as stated in the title. Thanks, Matthew
@@HearingTracker I did watch the video - that's how I know you haven't seen nor tried the product. Mentioning that you're GOING to review them when you get them in what is purported to be a review of the product is...disingenuous? Slippery? Clickbait? Especially with the intro: Finally I have the news you have all been waiting for! Jeesh - just wait until you have them and spare us
Hi again Pamela, I’m still unsure of the nature of your complaint. This is a video giving news of new tech that is being released, again with no mention of this video being a review (unless you can see something which I can’t).
Liken it to a trailer for a new movie coming out, followed by a review - which of course comes following the release of the movie.
I hope this makes it easier to understand.
@@HearingTracker OK
