Absolutely fantastic video, Cliff!!! 💕
Looking forward to watching this. Thank you so much for all your wonderful videos! Happy New Year!
Thanks so much. You are GREAT at what you do. Very helpful.
Thanks for the great information. Knowledge is power!
I spent hours today researching my next (third) pair of hearing aids, and getting very confused. I'm a physician & musician and should be able to sift through this stuff after wearing them for years, but the Web and visiting (possibly) brand-pushing audiologists didn't give me reliable comparisons. . . . Then I saw this video (Top Six RIC for 2023). THANKS! Now to watch your individual reviews. . . .
super informative. Thx Doc!!!
Thank you for another video
Would be nice if you made a chart with aids going down and features across. Then we can easily include/exclude a few and narrow it down. THX
Yes please
There also should be some attempt at comparing performance in terms of various parameters, even if individual perceptions vary. Again, these videos offer little more than informercials.
Thanks for the products information.
Thanks for the information, you do amazing Videos! I saw this morning, about two weeks ago the NEW SONY E-10 OTC are available now for purchase. Will you do a review on these?
Great breakdown of various hearing aids! It is amazing what each one offers. Before I purchased my current hearing aids I spent weeks on the internet talking in chat rooms and was overwhelmed! Thanks for great video!
I'm about to upgrade from a very mediocre prescription hearing aid to a better one. What did you end up going with? Thanks, Doug
Thanks for another great video. Quick question... Of those models that do offer disposable battery operated form factors...can you tell us which ones have the smallest casing/profile?
I saw a comment that stated the discussion of the topic was too fast. For those that find the speed of Dr. Cliff’s videos too fast to keep up, UA-cam has setting options to slow down playback speed. 75% is slightly slower than video and can help with speech reading and clarity. It does take a little getting used to but once you are used to the sound, it allows better speech understanding and enough time for the brain to process what is being said. I find changing this setting helps.
I just listened to this a second time because once Signia changed their app for my current Signia HA I’m missing all the options I could choose from myself using the old app. This may cause me to purchase new HA before I’d really need them. AAR, I do need to slow the video down or repeat several times to get all the main points of Phonak versus Oticon. My brain isn’t processing as fast as Dr Cliff is talking here. I love all the detailed info!
Thank you for this channel. When do you expect to do a video on the best RIC hearing aids for 2024?
Nice job
Excellent.
I finally got my Phonak Lumity on Aug 17, 2023 and love it except for one thing it does not have a sensor to take my pulse otherwise they are great
Yay Phonak and yay Cliff's mom ... ME!!! 😁💕
I LOVE my Starkey Evolv AIs - I work in live theatre and find them to be great for music as well as spoken word. I have Meniere's and the Fall Alert is a great peace of mind for myself and family as I live alone. The app is great with many features to help you make custom settings that I can use when listening to music or podcasts. The table mic is AWESOME in meetings as is the mini remote mic I can clip on someone for one-on-one conversation. Edge mode is great in restaurants and bars - such a difference! The translation feature will talk to you, but it will print out on the screen what you say in the other language so you can show whomever you are talking to to have a conversation. The transcribe feature could use some work, but is a great feature as well.
Awesome! Good to know. I have Menieres too.
Starkey is actually really bad for music. The only manufacturer that accommodates musicians is widex
Thank you for this comprehensive review. I have purchased (waiting for delivery to my health care provider) the Starkey Evolv Ai. I cannot find the Starkey Thrive app (for Apple iOS) in the app store. Can you tell me where it is located, or what name it uses? Thank you.
I love fitting Resound aids. They typically don't require much adjustment after the first fitting. People appreciate the sound quality and the improved speech in noise program
Dr. Cliff. whenever mention about the nice hearing Aids. Please list where we can visit the Center of AuD so we gain experience ???
greeting. Can you make a video, your analysis, statistics, do your patients like to change brands of hearing aids? If yes, which one?
Is it difficult to switch from Oticon to Phonak or is it better the other way around?
can't wait for your 2023 IIC list!
Next week!
Thank you, great presentation
Thanks!
Thanks Sonny!
Love the videos. Was just in the market for new aids and really wanted the cros. I have severe hearing loss in my left ear (basically deaf) and moderate in my right ear. Have had a Resound for several years. Really like it. Tried the new Signia and really liked them (cros AX) but they have a lot of quality issues. First paired died in week. Wouldn't power up and when they did were intermittent (non-rechargeable). Second pair worked for about a day and did the same thing. Really wanted to like them but if they don't work, no point in having them especially for the cost $,5,000.00. Went back to Resound and the new Omnia. No issues, works great. Just wish they made a cros version.
Hi, I'm really similar to your situation, I'm from Vietnam and look forward to chatting with you (do you have any social networks?)
I prefer the faster rate of these video presentations. I can always rewind or turn on captions if I missed something.
You're my hearing aid go to guy. I saw a story (maybe an ad) for Horizon AX Hearing Aids with dual processors. Can you shed some light on these? Thanks
I live in phx az. My mother has very bad hearing loss. Do you look at patients or just give info over the internet. Which is very helpful
Dr. Cliff what’s is the best cros hearing aid for SSD
I just got a new Starkey Evolve Ai (rebranded as an Audibel RIC 2400). It's my 4th aid after the Starkey Muse. Sounds great. I haven't upgraded my smartphone to be compatible with the Starkey Thrive app yet. It sure makes a difference to see a good audiologist. I've been going to the same one for over 20 years. She set up 4 different programs. I prefer meeting as my main mode. I have normal, restaurant and auditorium as my other choices. I've been playing with the edge mode too. It's an expensive aid, but I have 4 years on the service.
Which of these have BT 5.2? Thanks!
Wich one do you think is the more complete/better hearing aids, Oticon More or Signia Styletto AX?
Doctor Cliff, is there one of these RIC hearing aids (or any quality hearing aid) that protects your hearing from loud sudden spikes of noise (a loud screech, firecrackers, gunshots, etc)?
What do you think of the Miracle Ear hearing aid?
It would be nice if you mentioned the price of each of these.
Hello Dr Clifford. What I would like to know is Why cant you try on different models when you have to pick one. If you can try out a model to see which will be the best for you. You can buy the best for your ear. But every Hearing place says , You cant do that, Why? Its like buying a new car you cant even test drive. Im not about to spend 10K on something I cant even try out. I have very bad with about 70% loss for decades and only gets worse every few months. But will not buy something I cant try out!!!
Is the Oticon Play intended for adults as well as children? If so, is the Play better than the More?
Has Phonak finally added (to Lumity) the ability to use Roger Select iN for bluetooth calls or switch from 2 way to one way bluetooth calls?
Dr. Cliff, what is the typical cost for a first visit and evaluation by one of your recommended audiologists that follow the comprehensive 32-step procedure?
What? (just kidding) I appreciate your videos as I'll be getting my first hear aids next month. Due to the fact that I'm vain, I want something descrete. We'll see if they work for my loss. Thanks for your effort to inform!
I especially like the fact the Lithium battery in the Oticon More R can be changed in the office. No need to send it to the manufacturer for new battery.
I have Oticon More hearing aids from the VA that needed a new battery. A year old. They had to send them to Colorado and then Colorado to Oticon for new batteries...which I didn't get. They just swapped them out with another set. Then back to Colorado and then back to me. Took a month. So don't tell me it's done in the office.
@@bobrunge7594 If the aids are OPNS or More R, Oticon will send me lithium batteries which I change in my office. Your situation is a VA thing.
Phonak best quality imo!
I saw your reviw on the MDhearing but are all of their models similar. I'm looking at the models Volt or Air. Any comments
Dr. Aud, can you also do a review of the hearing aids available at Costco? That seems to be the elephant in the room since Costco hearing aids are much more affordable, which forces them to be relevant. Thanks so much!
That doesn’t help his wallet which is why it wasn’t included.
in your 2023 projections you had mentioned JABRA but you did not mention them in this video. Why did they fall out? Are they still a viable option? Should one wait till 2024 to buy OTC hearing aids?
Hi Dr Olson. Is it safe to use noise-cancelling headphones for hearing protection?
Dr.Cliff~ Ihave profound hearing loss. Currently useing Oticon S1 with custom ear molds. I did try the new More version but did not feel they were that much more effective, in fact I struggled with them as they did not have enough volume. I struggle in meetings etc. and with the degree of background noise. Of the 6 you selected is there one you feel is more effective with profound hearing loss. Always enjoy your videos and though you speak quickly I just put on the CC so not a problem. John K
How close did they meet your prescriptive targets for Avg/Soft/Loud level speech when verified with REMs?
@@DrCliffAuD I feel my Hear Aid professional is very astute when setting up my hearing aids for maximum performance with my degree of hearing loss. For me, as I am sure with many, is clarity and yes I struggle and every day involvement becomes more and more difficult. I will look forward to trying the new Real version, when available. ~ John K
@@johnkinsfather6369 it just makes no sense that you wouldn't be able to hit the same Rx targets or higher if you were using the same strength of receivers. Something sounds fishy.
What is the avg cost for the top of the line aids? I am severely hearing impaired in both ears!
Great information! Do you do a review on hearing aids that do not require smart phone integration? My dad cannot use a smart phone
some hearing aids can adjust programs through use of the button on the hearing aids
Dr.Cliff I purchased my first hearing aids from Costco 5 years ago. They are Resound hearing aids. They will no longer repair them due to this age. The ones they are now recommending are the Jabra EIC hearing aids. They have said they are actually Resound hearing aids. Is that true and can you tell me which resound that would be
Thank aYou 9:18
Dr. CIiff - you are SUPER! Question - which of these hearing aids offer a capability of using an external microphone on a cell phone call, so that my voice is picked up by the external mic (for improved reception by the other party) while I continue to hear via the hearing aids in real time? I have an iPhone14.
Have checked 3 different models but in all cases, the microphone by default is of the phone. Unfortunately could not see the option to change the setting
I am interested in a hearing aid. I like most older people suffer from loss of high frequencies and have trouble making out voices with several conversations going on at the same time.
I want something that lets me have total control of the configuration by using an app on a cell phone. Adjust the frequency response letting me tailor it to my hearing loss myself without the need of assistance. I have had hearing test done in the past verifying the hearing frequency range loss. Are there any hearing aids that let the consumer adjust the response just like
he was adjusting a audio equalizer for a stereo. Play with the frequency range and levels until it corrects for the frequency loss.
Dr. Cliff, will you soon produce a similar, updated video: "BEST Hearing Aids of 2024" ?
Hi I have moderate hearing loss in both ears. Tried demo of both Resound Omnia 5 and Widex Moments Sheer 220 . Resound frontal focus program is Awesome where I felt like Dolby surround sound but it has no AI where as Widex is also good and has AI. So I am confused.
I'd like to add my approval to the first two of the comments from others of your audience. I've been looking at some of the available info about the fairly new ORKA ONE hearing aids and the remote final tuning by a Staff Audiologist from ORKA. They seem to be trying their BEST to get a good quality product to the public at a VERY REASONABLE PRICE. I'd love to hear your thoughts about not only the product but also their marketing and even their OWN FINANCING.!
I would be interested in hearing his thoughts about hiorka and their ORKA hearing aids as well.
I am death on both ears but when I where my ear pod on my right I’m able to hear beats or base of some what do u recommend for me
Your comments are interesting, but I would like to see rate all those features comparing them by category
If you can't give out prices it would be helpful to mention manufacturer's suggested retail price for the products you suggested. It's hard to know whether you're getting a good deal.
Is Oticon the same as bernafon?
An expected cost would add to this video, Thanks
Please note the disclaimers for this video.
I have the signia hearing aid and they sound like there tin. Only high sound they have been reprogram 4 times and sound the same. Could they be bad.
I have a Samsung Tv hooked to Yamaha receiver Rx -471 with HDMI cable and have unable to get Oticon TV device to connect to my hearing aids? The APP lights up however no sound????
how good is the philps 9040 mnetr
What about the use of Cortexi?
I have the Lumitys , to me the RICs are twice as big as my old audeo Marvel M90R. Otherwise I like them so far. I Will look at your suggestion for a best practices provider. Not sure my Aetna Medicare required provider is one of those.
This video is informative.
Are there any hearing aids with location trackers in case they get lost of misplaced by dementia patients in the home to find via app like you would with a tile keychain tracker?? Please advise & thanks for the great content
@meedy92, I understand that the Starkey evolve at the 2400 level has this feature
I agree with “g” !
Doc, I have some minor but noticeable hearing loss in my left ear (diagnosed 5 or 6 years ago). I wound up with a Signia Pure. Initially I was able to wear it for a few hours without issue and it helped some. However, I began experiencing irritation (itchiness) where the dome was inside my ear canal and could wear the darn thing more that a half hour or so. Then it would drive me crazy. I cleaned the dome every time before I wore it so I don’t think that was a cause. Audiologist gave me some sort of lubricating/moisturizing oil to apply inside my ear canal. No help. I gave up and quit wearing the hearing aid. I notice now that I have further deterioration of hearing in my left ear so want to revisit getting a new hearing aid. I very much don’t want to spend a chunk on money on an in canal unit. I almost went out and bought the Sony CRE-E10 but decided to wait until after my hearing test. I’m schedule to get my hearing tested but wondered what your thoughts are for my situation.
Forgot to say that I can wear earbuds without issue, however I haven’t tried wearing them for extended periods of time - couple hours at most.
My thoughts are that if prescription hearing aids didn't work, you'll probably have less luck with OTC. You need to find a better provider to help.
I love music and sadly the turhearing brand hearing aids I have now, makes music sound like its coming from a walky talky. they do help alot with speech though. I'm moderate to severe hearing loss. I'm considering oticon mores and widex moments assuming I can either find a way to afford them, or get them covered by my insurance. I'm having trouble finding info online about this kind of issue as mostly people seem interested in speech recognition over music. I want to stream music via Bluetooth and have it sound full and rich like my headphones, and listening to live music or practicing my guitar and mandolin, have it sound full and rich and clear. no doubt you've encountered patients with similar requests so I'd like to see a video addressing this issue and offering advice. thanks! oh and as an aside what do you do when you would like real ear measurements and best practices but are limited to what your insurance will offer and none of those hearing aid providers have this? and you can't afford to pay yourself for that? thanks again!
Amateur musician here with moderate hearing loss. Wondering what prescription hearing aid you went with for streaming quality equal to something like an AirPod Pro.
Most go with widex for musicians.. I have tried so many other devices and had no luck, but widex is very good sound quality.. I'd recommend it
I have watched many of your videos to help me choose an office for my next hearing aids. No one who offers Medicare supplements uses R. E. M. What do I do without doubling my investment?
Not much you can do. The saying "You get what you pay for" definitely applies here.
Thank you, Dr.C liff. The print was so small in the Phonak Marvel user manual I couldn't read it. These are extremely expensive hearing aids. Why couldn't the company provide an adequate user manual, particularly for those getting along in their years and wearing glasses? The company website did not provide instructions on cleaning their hearing aids; I had to go to UA-cam for help. The company's plastic tools used for cleaning their hearing aids are cheaply made. And if something goes wrong with the Phonak hearing aids or they need to be replaced, the company charges $300 to replace or repair the item. This company is about price gouging and is not at all interested in their customers. Not a good company!
Dr Cliff, I have high frequency hearing loss wc makes it difficult for me to understand what the other person is saying. I have tried Phonak Paradise, Signia silk but the voices I hear are muffled and chirpy. Please advise what sort of features hearing aid I should look for wc can help reduce the distorted sound of people's voices. Would appreciate your advice

I have the same problem. Did you get any advice?
Have you reviewed the Beltone line of hearing aids? I have the Amaze - technology is about 3-4 years old. Beltone has a new line out called Achieve.
For me the beltone’s were horrible, they did not solve the problem and were painful to wear. Maybe it was the guy who fit them didn’t know what they were doing hard to say. Then they tried the custom ear molds and the discomfort was worse and I still couldn’t hear much better, my wife was always asking why I didn’t have my hearing aids in when I was wearing them. You may have better success but for me I took them back within the 60 return period for a full refund.
@@Kansas-Paul Thanks. They work for me but my version is 2 updates in technology back, i.e., they have made 2 more updates in their technology. Just need to plod along since I cannot afford new ones. Eventually I will need to take the plunge again.
Dr. Cliff, I am going to start using hearing aids and I have a question, how often do I have to change the battery of a rechargeable hearing aid? Thank you very much for your reply
I put them in the charger when I go to bed and put them on when I get up and never had to charge them during the day.
Phonak rechargeable lithium ion battery can last up to 5 years. (charge every night)
What do you think about Cerushield compared to Cerustop- Could I use Starkey's HearClear instead of Cerushields?
Yes, technically the HearClear wax traps work on the Phonak hearing aid receivers that use the Cerushield.
I have a really small ear opening, which can help me.
Lumity just has endless exclusive game changing features. I have absolutely no idea why they are 3rd
They're not. This list is not in ranked order.
Having looked through your videos I am on the fence about which hearing aids I should go with for my next set. I am debating between the Resound Omnia with MRIE or the Phonak Lumity with ActiveVent. I really value replaceable over rechargeable which has me leaning towards Resound but the features of the Phonak look excellent. Any feedback about their differences that might help me make a choice? Has Phonak discussed pricing to replace the battery a few years down the road?
it's about preference on what your needs are as far as I know as for me I am going with Phonak Lumity because I'm use to Phonak app on the phone but I'm not sure yet if I want the ActiveVent just yet
Tried both. Found the Lumity better for
Hearing. Omnia has the better app. My audiologist had trouble connecting the omnia for programming. Quality and fit better with Phonak.
@@richardschaaf9708 Any concerns on the rechargeable battery versus standard coin cell? I am worried that a built in cell will automatically set the lifetime of the hearing aid, from my research the expectation is 2-3 years before they need replacement and I usually hold on to mine 5 years or so.
@@lamortnoir1887 The key is to have your audiologist submit the aids for battery problems just prior to the end of your warranty and request a battery replacement. Thus you can extend the useful life of your aids to about 5 years. I am trialing the Phonak lumity now and will probably try the active vent. I find them better then the Resound for actual hearing but the app for the Phonak is still slow and will lose connection to the aids at least twice a day. I believe this is due to the use of Bluetooth as opposed to MFI-WI-FI used by Resound.
@@richardschaaf9708 EXCELLENT. Your comment is THE type/reason I read replies & find 'em as interesting as the video itself.
Warm Regards from Reno, Nevada U.S.A.
do the rechargeable type let you change the rechargeable battery yourself or do you have to have it serviced?
This needs to be done through an authorised person hence service center is your best bet. Just try and charge your aids to Max 80%. This ensures minimal depreciation on the lithium battery life. I experimented this on my Samsung phone when purchased in 2017. The battery still last for more than 8 hours in a day till date. Just that the software and hardware have become obselete on the phone.. 😅
@@pareshraheja1 I am a Tech person, I would like to know what the battery is for replacement.
What do you mean by 2-way audio if using an Apple device? Does that have anything to do with a phone conversation?
Yes. It means the hearing aids can be used as a handsfree device.
Hello - I found your youtube channel recently and love it - very informative. I have had hearing aids since 2006 - started with Widex - found that were best for musicians like me - have had two pairs - but my new audiologist in Hemet CA convinced me to buy Oticon. I felt I was already going to use his service because he let me try Windex moment and they did not work at all. Then found out he does not do the real ear measurement (no Equipment). I do not know what to do. My Oticons don't feel right. Will another audiologist near me even consider using real ear measurement even thought I already have hearing aids. Would you see me if i came to Phoenix?
Hello May I ask one question? I have been having hearing problems during conversation. So thinking of having hearing aids and want a real comment from a person having similar condition like me.
Can you have easy conversation with people especially in public noisy places with the help of hearing aids ?
If you don’t mind please answer me.
Thank you 🙏
My dad has been using them for the last 10 years. The issue which u face is normal especially at old age. My dad struggles to understand the speech during a normal conversation let alone a noisy place. He has used Signia, then Widex and finally seems to be ok with Resound. All said and done... With hearing aids... U need to focus directly towards the person on the other end else it is hard to understand the speech!
If you have always had widex, you might like them better once they've been fitted right, but the audiologist you use must be comfortable with the one you go with, so if they are more familiar with widex, go with that, if they prefer to fit Oticon, go with it
To slow down the presentation go to the top of the screen in settings and playback speed and adjust to suit you.
what abt unitron?
Another great video! If only you could talk a bit slower, I could hear you better.
Turn on the captions
@@gailvanderleek5932 😢how do you do that
@@carolmoorby9363 click on the 3 dots on the right side to bring up the menu.
Which would be best for music? Do any have music modes that turn off the digital processing of compression, feedback cancellation, etc? And also have wider dynamic range and higher freq response? I run sound.
I also want to know this answer.
I was told Widex is best for music. But that's based on feedback from musician who wear hearing aids in my city. So you can do some more research on that!
I've been trialing a Widex aid and I really like it for most natural sound. It sounds better than 4 other brands I've tested recently including oticon, unitron and signia. I should clarify this and say I've found these the best for live music or listening to music out loud. I do not like the sound of streaming music via any hearing aid as I only have loss in one ear. You gotta go test them out and see what works for you, whilst I like the Widex I am finding some feedback issues and in situations with high wind or can noise they struggle, I am hoping this is just fine tuning issues.
Only AirPods Pro 2 make sense for streaming.
For music, PHONAK give most bass-like earbuds. But is lacking in understanding in noise and speech clarity
I have issues with high frequency sounds, especially with speech and people talking to me in busy area's so I got a pair of the Phonak Audeo Lumity 90L and I hate them. The sound is terrible. Ive had them setup several times by my Audiologist and still hate them. The App is garbage and doesn't connect or stay connected. When i update my settings in the App i have to do it 3 to 4 times to get it to take even though it say it did. The touch to answer a call is so sensitive that it activates all the time on its own or from just the touch of my ear's. i had to have that feature disabled. I also have the charger case for them and that works well, but no big difference than any other top brand.
I just switched to the Oticon More's and love the sound of them. They make the sound "Real" feeling. Not the hissing and noise that the Phonak has. I've only had the Oticon for a week now and so far they are great. I have Samsung phone's(3 of them) and all work and connect perfect. No disconnects or glitches. They just work. Don't be afraid to get Oticon's if your not an Apple Phone user They work perfect with Android. They also have their new charger case just like Phonak's and it also charges with USB "C" and give you several re-charges of your hearing aids.
If you need hearing aids go you your Audiologist get tested then ask for Oticon More's to try.
One thing is DON'T buy a hearing aid off of the "Feature's" it has, but buy one's that help you hear correctly first, then try to get the "Features" you want as a bonus.
I have high frequency loss, but i need HA for office laptop teams calls, my Audi said oticon cannot connect this but phonak connect all bleutooth device, please suggest me
Re Phonak double tap, if you are streaming something and your phone rings, how do you double tap to stop the stream then answer the phone?
The music should stop as your phone rings. Tap to answer as normal.
I haven’t tried it but I have been told the tap feature is a bit tricky for some
The phone call takes priority over streaming other audio. It will stop automatically and you can double tap to answer the phone.
@@DrCliffAuD Thanks. Just found your videos, they are very helpful, thanks very much for doing them.
I just got my first set of hearing aids for moderate hearing loss in high ranges. They are the Opticon More 1s behind the ears. Is there an adjustment period to getting used to them in your ear? Are the in-ear hearing aids any more or less comfortable? Thanks for any thoughts!
Yes there is an adjustment period. However, the aids have to be worn daily for adaptation to happen quickly over time. If you're not wearing them all day, every day because you don't like the sound, go back for an adjustment.
Yes, you get used to them, I've had mine for 15 yrs. I'm used to them, it took me 2 weeks to forget that I'm wearing them
I've been at tintius for three years and I don't know when I'll be free.
You talked about a hearing aid that is in eye glass frame
Can one consult with a hearing aid audiologist if one is buying a hearing aid over the counter?
Yes, you'll just have to pay them for their time.
Clif you forgot one thing,what range of hearing loss do they cover😮 that would be most important wouldnt it?
Every RIC hearing aid can cover everything from Mild to Profound just by changing the receiver strengths.
@@DrCliffAuD My loss is severe and the Evolve 60 decible (?) was the one my audiologist recommended. I'm not sure if I heard her correctly on the strength of the aid.
How much
Has this video been released early? It's still 2022.
What would be the best hearing aid for someone who loses their hearing aids? I really don't want to buy another set for my Dad when he just lost his and can't find them.
My Starkeys have a “find my hearing aids” function using the Thrive app. Also, not sure how old your father is, but they also have a fall alert function which I think is great.
Which one is best that does not look like a wad of aluminum foil behind the ear?
I've had the Resound hearing aids for 4 years and I CANNOT hear voices! I'm only 60 years old and it is affecting my quality of life. They cost 5,000$ and I still cannot hear. My audiologist is tired of seeing me and I left in tears. I work at the school with kids and have such trouble hearing them speak. I need a solution. I know my hearing loss is opposite of normal hearing loss, but there has to be a solution.
If you are not able to purchase new hearing aids, consider purchasing a Roger system. They are supposed to work with any hearing aid but work best with phonak. perhaps get a second opinion?
