I took an online hearing test, and then bought a fairly inexpensive pair of hearing aids. And honestly, for me, they were more frustrating than helpful. Friends and relatives very much recommended that I go to our local Beltone dealer for a full exam and fitting. I now wear Beltone Achieve hearing aids, and it stuns me how perfectly I hear now. The Audiologist is just a wizard in how he can tweak them perfectly. Surround sound, easy Bluetooth connectivity, a phone app, etc. Totally satisfied.
I am going through the search now for hearing aids with some very specific needs. I appreciate what you’ve done to simplify how I need to approach it. I’ve listened to many of your video’s. Before beginning to listen to you I’ve tried at least 3 OTC hearing aids and also the EARGO which was okay but I could not get the device to stay in my canal despite cleaning my ear before each insert. Anyway, thank you and if we lived closer you’d have a customer. Best wishes.
Thank you so for caring so much about the consumer. I believe the best audiologists are the ones who have experienced hearing loss. They've walked in our shoes, they empathize, know the frustrations of hearing loss, truly care and are interested in the field and helping others. You rock!
Yas! There’s too little audiologists that actually have hearing loss
This is what I needed. I am trying to figure out what I need to buy and it is so confusing. I am a senior. Thanks.
Thank you Dr. Cliff!! I attended a conference where you were speaking years ago and was hooked immediately! I often share your video's with my patient's at our non-profit Hearing clinic; we offer basic technology instruments to low income senior patients; your explanations are clear and understandable for the patient! This video in particular gives valuable verification of instrument levels and helps lend validation that they are receiving a good instrument with service that follows best practices. We THANK YOU for your honesty and superior knowledge!
That's awesome. Where did you see me talk?
Really like Dr Cliff-wish I could go to him for service. Great information
I love the way you present the hearing aids ..with you I found out that I did not get the proper person to adjust it to my needs...
A striking comparison between basic and premium. I've read user reviews who say that got on worse with premium than advanced of one particular brand.
Bravo doctor thank you for the very pertinent information you provide for the lay man.
Thanks for explaining all this information.
My cousin suffers with hearing loss, he lives in a different country and every time we talk on the phone he has a hard time understanding what I say. I am so thankful for your channel. I want to understand how these work and try to help him with a new hearing aid. Thank you
Very informative. Didn't realize there was such a difference in levels and features. Amazing. I think I have premium. Cost enough, $5,000. But mine is for tinninitis mainly. Haven't really noticed a difference yet after 2 weeks..except for bluetooth options connected to phone. Still need to go back to Dr. These videos help me be better informed to ask Q of Dr. Thanks! 💕
Thank you for your dedication and time I have hearing loss in the upper frequency range and work in a complex work environment. I have the Oticon Opn 3 bye and they restored language audibility. I did try the Opn1 for a week but didn’t notice a big difference or additional program features. Am I missing something or is it a limit to my hearing loss?
I found it very helpful as I will be going soon for new Hearing aids and have been considering upgrading to premium. This answered all of my questions, thank you for taking the time to do these.
Glad to help jinty!
I’ve been struggling to find an efficient way to speak to patients about this. Thanks so much Cliff!
I've got a better one coming out this week.
Excellent! Very informative Thanks for posting!
I have to agree with you on these features as I’ve watched and listened on my new ReSound aids that have both Bluetooth and recharge ability! I’m still learned the Smart 3D app and I’m not quite as up to speed as I was with my STARKEY Halo’s TruLink! Not sure which ReSound model COSTCO sells so I cannot verify with certainty that these are Lynx 3 or Lynx Quattro. And I’ve yet to customize the settings in a noisy restaurant yet so the jury’s still out. I do however still have issues listening to the radio in my convertible, so maybe sometime soon a new car with Bluetooth streaming! Keep up the great job you do of informing & educating the public on hearing features, benefits, cost and value! You Rock!
It is very informative and helpful..thank you docs.

Cliff, I want to also express my appreciation for your informative videos. I am looking into hearing aids for the first time in my life and these videos are very, very helpful to me. I feel so much better prepared. I went to a Miracle Ear clinic today and was not impressed! No REM and the owner clearly just wanted to make the sale. Very poor experience, but I didn't purchase anything and now after binge watching all your videos I feel ready to find my way.
Hi Joe. Sorry you had a bad experience. Glad you have seen enough videos to know what to look for. Best of luck!
I have just come across this channel here and you explain things very well for this simple mind here. I don’t have much hearing loss according to tests, however it always seems to be that if there is any kind of background noise that isn’t the person/object I’m trying to listen to, then I feel like I cannot hear a single thing. What do I need to do to mitigate this problem of mine? I appreciate in advance if you can answer my question, and thank you for all the information you give through these videos!
Another premium content video. Thanks Doctor.
Thank you!Your last comment was the best comment I’ve heard about hearing aids.
Thank you you save my time and made me relax thanks you super information
Hi Dr. Cliff, love your videos. A question I have is, whenever my audiologist changes settings to my hearing aids, he then puts me in the booth, with some sort of loop around my neck, and tells me to, and with hearing aids on, raise my hand when hearing the beep. Is this what you would call “Real hearing verification”?
Wow this Dr. Is truly amazing. So what if you are a person who has had SSD all your 54yrs and cannot afford these techy hearing aids or be able to pay for expensive continous maintenance? What happens if at any time wifi or whatever systems used, goes out. Are there any decent analog hearing aids anymore? I dont want to take a chance on surgery.
Thanks a lot summing things up! I would like to know what you mean with "They get these digital features enabled that allow them to hear more in RELAXED type situations" 11:20 . I thought this is the type of situation where basic hearing aids doesn't differ much from more advanced hearing aids?
I found this video to be very helpful. It explained a lot, however it raised questions in my mind which, perhaps, you have previously answered and you or one of your followers can identify a URL with the answers.
Is it possible to train a hearing aid via a program in the aid or in an accompanying cell phone rather than via repeated visits to a human audiologist in order to potentially reduce the cost of procuring and training the aid, 2) potentially apply real life sound environments, for example for noise reduction in the patient's house and working environment, and to adapt to changes in one's ears, and 3) to educate the user to better understand what the aid is doing for him or her. I know that a lot of people would screw this up, but some of us, given a good instruction manual, would maybe get it just right?
Hi Dr. Cliff. I was wondering if 80db hearing loss considered a deafness hearing loss or hard of hearing loss? Please reply... Thank you.
I’m the one have 80db hearing loss and wearing two set of hearing aids behind the ears and programmed.
what is your take on sivantos signia NX hearing aids Dr. Cliff????
Thank you for all your videos. I have learned so much. I just found out I have SSD. My provider recommended a CROS device. Would you have any thoughts regarding these in a construction environment? I work outdoors, in all seasons and weather conditions. I like the in-the-canal style I think. Thanks
Hi Ray, you may be able to use the Signia Silk device if you want IIC, but they aren't my favorite devices. You may be able to do a half-shell CROS. It is definitely a little bigger, but the connection is more solid.
Great job. Your videos have really helped me to understand the differences in hearing aids and in audiologist. I'm going to try and find someone that does REM here in the DFW area. Also, why are premium aids $8,000 or more?
Thanks Mr C. The cost for a clinic to acquire premium level aids can range between $2,000-$3,500 depending on the brand and size of the clinic. The amount they charge you includes the service you receive for a period of time. The ones that charge you $8k better provide you with top-notch care and for several years.
This is cool. I’m not your normal bte user... I love video games and competitive video gaming. And thank you for bringing REM to my attention. My specialist just went by what I said last time I was in there. I’m about to get new ones soon, so I will be making sure this service is done. Thank you
And finally I have a question... Is there any type of connectivity technology that transmits the audio in surround sound from a device connected directly to the audio source? Eg; Watching a movie, have Dolby surround on, and have the ConnectLine transmit the data and my hearing aids are able to replicate that sound?
Thanks Dr. Cliff. Thank you for good information. I was thinking about using the eargo. I loved the idea of the invisible with nothing hanging over my ear. I bough aids for 4K but lost one. Bought a replacement then lost it also. My problem was a habit I have of pushing my hair back over my ear. something i do without thinking. Also since the low er tones are what im missing. With these the amplification amplifies everything around me so trying to talk to one person or even to hear myself is impossible. Its just loud noise of everyone in room.. What would you suggest? i saw a doctor to be tested.
A low frequency hearing loss is the most difficult to treat. It requires closing off the ear canal to allow for low frequency gain. The Eargo is only an open fit and would not provide benefit in the LF range. There is a possibility that hearing devices may not work for you, but finding a good audiologist gives you a better shot!
Cliff, I wonder if you could give me some advice. I have Audeo B 90 Direct hearing aids and I carry a concealed firearm. At the range, I obviously remove the hearing aids and use ear plugs. But what will happen to my hearing aids if I am forced to fire my 9MM weapon in self defense (no time to turn off or remove hearing aids)? Will they be destroyed? Or will they be able to deal with the extremely loud report?
I have looked at the Phonak website to look for the specs on each model. Very hard to tell which models have which features. Do you know of any source that organizes the not so obvious specs side by side? (particularly the 6 items you mention).. Love your channel.
www.HearingTracker.com just changed their hearing aid comparison pages, but they might do a good job of this. Phonak actually does have good feature comparisons on their website. See if this link works for you: www.phonakpro.com/us/en/products/hearing-aids/audeo-marvel/features-audeo-marvel.html
Thinking of getting a Eargo Neo, could you do a review on them and the 4 programs that switches by touching your ear?
My hearing aids I am trialing have 3 basic programs and then I can add 20 customized programs. They are supposed to identify the location and switch to the program. Are there hearing aids that are preprogrammed with many programs and automatically change, instead of relying on the user to input the programs?
How do I find someone who really can fit my hearing aids? I am pretty sure that is the issue with the ones I have. Should I be going to Miracle Ear or one of those known companies? Right now I just see an audiologist who works for herself.
Hi, Dr. Cliff. I went in for a free check on the advice of a friend a couple of years ago, and the audiologist found me a couple of donors because I couldn't afford new ones. She set them up for me and they were okay, but on another visit she did the REM. The difference was amazing.
They are Oticon Ino RITEs and as far as I can tell they're about ten years old.
My friend's dad died a couple months ago and he gave me his old aids, which are Phonak Q70 312s. They are quite a bit newer, and I have to talk to my audiologist to see if she thinks I should use them and get her to set them up for me. Couldn't help sticking them in the way they are and going for a drive. With the Oticons I couldn't hear the radio with the window down. With these, I can!
Do you think I should give back the Oticons and go with these?
Newer is almost always better!
Can anyone in the New Orleans area recommend a place? Nothing in dr. Cliffs website
Doctor Cliff, My Insurance (MediCal) will only cover basic models . I need an ITE model as I wear oxygen as well as eyeglasses which both need to come off and on several times a day. My hearing loss is pretty flat at about -50db in the low frequencies to -60 above 4k. The audiologist (Audiologist is at University medical center and does REM) suggested either the Phonak VirtoV50 or the Opticon Alta. Both models will have a telecoil and I plan on buying an external streamer out of pocket. Which model do you think would work best for me?
Still not enough info to provide a recommendation. A recommendation typically takes me at least an hour with very detailed info from you.
If you use audiogram direct (Phonak) do you need REM for proper programming ? Thank you , great videos!
The use of Audiogram Direct does not replace the need for REM. The intent of in-situ audiometry is to provide audiometric testing through a hearing device (ie. Thresholds). This is not intended to be used to provide a verified fitting which is what REM is designed for.
Thank you for the videos. I am shopping for my next set of aids. I have Oticon now and they have helped a lot but there are some shortcomings. I would like my next set to be waterproof as I often have the aids fail when doing work where I sweat. They get wet and power down and the insides tend to rot. I would like to ditch the streamer. And lastly as I have a Samsung cell phone I would like the ability to charge the aids from the phone wirelessly as is now the state of the art with the Samsung S10. which device would you point me towards to get these and the best sound quality benefits? Thank you.
I think the phonak paradise pr would be pretty close to what you want, not sure about the wireless charging though.
@@robbbenedict I ended up getting the Phonak Paradise as you suggested. I've had them three months now.
@@waterlover30 hey that's great, I'm thinking of getting the phonak naida paradise in ultra power. My current naida are 9 years old!
Question what would be a good hearing aid for first responders. I am a paramedic supervisor and need something. What the best and it has to stay in or on my ear.
I have a large hole in my eardrum. I had surgery once to patch it, but the graft did not take. The doctors recommend that I try the surgery again, but I'm not sure I want to do tat. Would hearing aids help my hearing? Would I need a special type or are my options the same as everyone else?
Thank you for the videos. I'm finding them very informative.
I have mild hearing loss in my right ear only (2000-4000 Hz) because of a perforated eardrum. I've had myringotomy multiple times in my life and the last time the hole keptigetting wider. I'm looking into getting a hearing aid and found an audiologist who takes my insurance. I live a fairly active lifestyle, frequently the go walking city streets, riding buses and trains. Do you know what hearing aids work well in crowded noisy places like that?
Almost any higher level hearing aid will work well as long as it is programmed well. Even the most expensive hearing aid on the planet won't help if it isn't programmed correctly using Real Ear Measurement.
Excellent pointers. How does one switch programs while wearing hearing aids? Would a program be selectable for tinnitus masking?
Either with an App or with a pushbutton. Yes, you could have a separate tinnitus app.
You can still go with the advanced level or second to highest if you feel premium or highest is too expensive, no? Does that really effect the benefits that much?
Your videos are quite educational. Thank you. Now my question. I'm 75 with considerable hearing loss. I'm besieged by hearing aid companies trying to sell me. How do I know which one cares about me more than they care about their pocket?
Hi Tom. There is no way to determine which one actually cares about you vs. selling their product. At the end of the day, all companies exist to turn a profit. Ultimately, you have to see through all of the marketing hype and do what is best for you.
I would personally ask how much they charge for follow up appointments or adjustments. You will be looking for a company that offers an unlimited number, at no cost. This is called cost bundling. You might pay a bit more for your device, but unlimited follow ups and adjustments means that they are willing to work with you until you can get it set up just right for you. Also ask about warranty on devices, and if they charge you to send if off for servicing. In addition, the cost of consumables. Ask about the cost of batteries, domes and other consumables for your device. Then you know the ongoing costs. Best of luck. I hope that you have acted on your hearing loss, it is so important. Best of Luck.
Doctor Cliff, AuD Seems like an impossible task for me.
My audiologist has 4 or 5 levels of corrective devices, and each is $1,000 higher that the one below. In what instances do you recommend the $6,500 pair as opposed to the $4,500 or $5,500 models?
Hi Marilyn. It really boils down to how complex your listening environments are and how important it is for you to hear in those environments. If you don't want to leave any benefit on the table, then you need to consider the top tier. If you are not in complex environments often, or it isn't critical that you hear your best in those environments, then you can get away with lower tiers of technology. A comprehensive review of your lifestyle should be considered to ensure you are recommended the correct level.
I would like to now more about other devices that help, what they assist you, I have digital Bluetooth hearing aides that give me ability to hear but not TV or in group conversation setting 😢.
Thanks for the video. My high pitch hearing loss and tinnitus was caused by a trauma induced car accident. I had played guitar and done gigs using a Bose PA system. My audiologist thinks she can help the tinnitus with a masking sound and also amp up the loss of the high frequency pitch. Can you advise in your experience how well the aids will work in conjunction with PA systems that might have a different frequency? What questions should I be asking before purchasing? I'm thinking about phonak with tinnitus masking capability based on reviews. Thanks in advance for your advice.
Hi Casey, I presume you would be able to adjust the PA system better without using hearing aids. Outside of using the PA system, from an amplification and tinnitus masking perspective, there are several good hearing aids to choose from. I recommend picking a device that the audiologist is comfortable and familiar with. Check out my video on what to expect during a hearing aid fitting to help with questions.
hey Cliff, Are you aware of iPhone X issues with any of the premium Hearing aids offered by Costco?
There were a few hiccups with the iPhone X when it first released, but no major issues. Issues usually happen with all brands from time to time. I have the most issues with Starkey.
Where is yours audiologists? I'm in new market Canada
Can you tell me what is meant by "Frequency adjustment"? One franchise is wanting to charge more for a larger number of "frequency adjustments". The numbers of "frequency adjustment" go from 16 to 48. The difference in cost from 24 "Frequency adjustments" to 48 is approx. $1000. Another franchise is not explaining what that means when I ask (kind of evasive, in a way), and says they simply sell the best unit they have that is adjustable. No effort to sell me different levels at different prices, which I think I like better. But I can't find what "frequency adjustments" means in terms of those numbers I was given, to know if this is something I should consider. I have put off making a decision on my hearing center choice for a week, because I am frustrated about this. Any help?
When talking about 24 and 48 adjustments, they are really talking about channels. Anything past 15 and the benefit for the cost diminishes quickly. However, there are also more adjustment handles with devices that have more channels. This allows for better customization to your prescriptive targets if they do REMs. If cost is a main concern, you could likely drop down a level on technology, but if you want to ensure max hearung benefit, the higher tech will ensure you get it.
@@DrCliffAuD Thank you so much for your quick response!! I have made an appointment for the provider who did NOT offer more "frequency adjustments", based on your information. The brand of the hearing aid the other provider offers is one you have reviewed, and has 15 channels (Widex 440), which is apparently all I probably need at this point. Again, thanks for this - and for the valuable information you provide to people who want to make sure they are making good choices.
So is the difference between basic level and premium technology Analog or Digital? What are your thoughts for the Miracle Ear ME2 vs ME3? Thanks.
My thoughts are to stay away from Miracle ear hearing aids. They are LOCKED! Difference between Basic & Premium is not Analog vs. Digital, it is customization and digital features.
@@DrCliffAuD Thank you for replying. From everything I've learned from your videos, I couldn't agree more about Miracle Ear. I had a hearing exam last week and they convinced me to order a pair of their ME3 or ME2 Hearing Aids. Their Aids are currently on sale (limited time). They had to order them for me. However, I've learned so much more from your videos that I'm now going to visit a different audiologist next week and hopefully end up with a much better experience and product. There are sooo many brands out there to consider! This is a new experience for me and I want to do what's best for me and my individual needs. Thanks again, and Please keep up the good work. I think you've been a great benefit to a lot of people. 😁😁. Happy, and prosperous New Year!
I’m looking for information on how long should you expect a hearing aid to last. If it cost me $5000 for the product and it only last 7 years, then I’m not interested in that product.
I may say that I had more than once a patient that went from premium to basic technology! This can happen with very elderly patients that have moderate/ severe hearing loss and severe difficulties in background noise. Even the premium noise reduction features are not enough so they see more value in a "basic" rather than a "premium" hearing aid and describe them as "it's the same"! And as you always say doing REMs is extremely important.
My dad needs hearing aids and we know nothing about hearing aids. I want a premium hearing aid for him but done know what would be the beginning price range of the premium vs mid grade. Where does “premium” price range start? I’m looking at 2,000.00$ as a price range but need to know if that’s mid or premium spectrum
That is typically in the low tier range. However, I would focus on finding a provider who follows Best Practices before trying to find the best hearing aid.
Could you give me some advice on Hear.com? They are a division of Siemens hearing aids. I have an appointment coming up soon and would like to get your opinion. Thanks so much for the info you provide. It's very helpful.
Hi LaVon. Hear.com does a lot of online advertising and gives exclusivity to hearing clinics in a particular zip code. It is on a first come first serve basis. The downside to this is that there is no vetting process to ensure that a particular practice provides high quality care. Hear.com is basically just a lead generator for clinics in their network.
@@DrCliffAuD Thanks so much for answering. What I really need to know is if their product is a good one. I'm pretty confident in the ear Dr. I'll be seeing for my initial visit. It took me hours to find the right video to see if you answered LOL, then my computer suddenly went to another channel and I had to search again since I didn't take note of the name of the many videos of yours I had watched. I REALLY need help! ha ha.
please can you talk about ( peak clipping and compression ) about different ^_^
I hear you great but people with high pitch voice I have a hard time understanding them . Will a hearing aid help. Thanks Stuart
sam thompson, a hearing aid will work good for you if you have decent Word Recognition Scores and the hearing aids are programmed correctly using Real Ear Measurement. Otherwise they likely won't help much.
Sometimes in some ways the automated features identify the wrong thing and put your hearing aids in random settings and that is just clunky
How do I know if I have a premium hearing aid of a regular one?
What is your make & model?
Just got fitted with some basic level hearing aids the other day and left the audiologists office wearing them into a windy situation...it was bloody awful I had to turn them off.
The lower the tech level, the less wind reduction capability they have. However, this is also a style issue. Devices behind the ear are more susceptible to wind that ones that go in your ear canal.
Doctor Cliff, AuD Yep they are behind the ear aids Im just deciding if I should go for the more advanced behind the ear model with the iphone app or will that also have the same issue with wind being a behind the ear aid?
Shadow Banned-I use a behind the ear aid and recently got a higher technology aid. It definitely is better in the wind than the more basic aid. I have never used an in the ear model so I can’t make that comparison. Hope this helps!! Good luck to you!!
I just went for full adult hearing test.
My choice was the Yugo or the Lamborghini!
I’m not making this up!

Is there any low cost yet effective hearing aid for India kind of environment?
Sorry Bhupal. I'm not familiar with the India hearing aid market specifically.
@@DrCliffAuD how to contact you, can you pass me your mail id
I am a veteran and got my hearing aids, Resound, from them after attempting about three times and finally being approved for them and tinnitus! However, I don’t remember them doing real time hearing measurements when they installed them. How would you suggest I go back to discuss this with them? They are not the most positive folks to deal with!
Simply got to ask Ruten45. Many providers do not provide it standard, but will do it if you demand it and they have the equipment. If they don't have the equipment, pay someone who does to adjust the devices.
Thank you ! I will ask them if they can and so how it goes. If not then I work to find someone that can. You have convinced me !
Can you do real ear measures with a BAHA?
No
I hear conversations behind me better than those in front of me. I need hearing-aids with the microphone in front of the ear instead behind the ear.
The microphones are directional. They are designed to prioritize sounds originating in front of you. If you are not experiencing that, your aids are setup incorrectly.

does that mean I get good luck with my new hearing aids? (Phonak M70 from B50)
You're gonna love them.
I wish you were closer to ohio
Thank you for the information. But I have to ask: Why so expensive?? The technology of hearing aids is no more sophisticated than a smartphone. The components are not more expensive. Still it is much more expensive. Why? maybe hearing-aid companies find a way to get rich on the aging population?
Hi Avital. I made a video on why hearing aids are so expensive. ua-cam.com/video/oKp9smW-sc4/v-deo.html
Watch that, then let me know what other questions you have.
A
Mostly, it's about closing the deal. When your prescription indicates low to moderate hearing loss and you're on the fence, as to whether you want a device or not, your Audiologist becomes a salesman. The devices, which were best for you, a moment ago, are no longer emphasized and the cheaper units are pulled out of the bottom drawer. You are downgraded from an 18 channel, $5,000 unit to a 6 channel $2,200 unit, for the sake of the transaction.
LMAO 🤣

What about all the hearing aids on the market today that DO NO require you to spend thousands of dollars. There are dozens of them on the market that cost only a couple of hundred dollars. Facebook is full of their advertisements. They all look relatively the same. They will fit inside your ear canal and are not noticeable for the most part. All the ones I've seen even come with a guarantee. If they don't work for you then you can send them back for a refund. Nano is one of many for example. Have you tested any of these hearing aids? From what I know, Congress made it possible to get these hearing aids so consumers wouldn't have to spend thousands of dollars for them. I personally have spend around $6000 on a pair of hearing aids from an audiologist I went to and despite all the testing and going back for adjustments countless times, I'm not much better off than I was before I purchased them. I have moderate to severe hearing loss. This is what I've learned while using hearing aids: Being able to hear in a noisy environment will be difficult at best, no matter how many settings you have. There are going to be situations where you won't be able to understand what someone is saying to you. You'll hear them but not understand what is being said, big difference. I could go on but the point I'm making is that if you have moderate to severe hearing loss like me, you are NOT going to hear like you did before your hearing loss, period. I don't care what you audiologist says. Remember they are in business to sell you a hearing aid.
Hey Darrell. Thanks for your questions and comments. I do have a few videos about Nano's hearing aids and marketing tactics. Here are the links: ua-cam.com/video/pk6bVHpeXk8/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/ZoV2j5E8cVU/v-deo.html . Check out Nano's Better Business Bureau (BBB) page and you will see that they do everything in their power NOT to refund your money when their devices either don't work for you or don't work at all. I can say based off of testing that you will not get benefit with Nano devices if you truly have a Moderate to Severe Sensorineural hearing loss.
In regards to your performance with hearing aids, performance outcomes are almost always predictable no matter what the hearing loss. It all depends on if your hearing loss was measured correctly, the right devices were selected, and if those devices have been programmed correctly to your hearing loss prescription following best practices.
The OTC hearing aid act has not gone into effect yet. There is technically no such thing as an OTC hearing aid until the FDA defines this category of devices later this year. You can buy these cheap amplifiers and other hearing aids all you want with little to no regulation which is why I believe Nano is still in business.
This may sound crazy but I am in my mid 30's and I really missed hearing aides from ages 2001 through 2009 and I NOT IMPRESS WITH ANY NEW TECHNOLOGY HEARING AIDES!!!!! IT'S GETTING WORSE THAN THEY ARE AND THEY SUCK!!!!!!!!They cause vertigo, upset stomachs, massive headaches and confusion. They are SO awful and sounds are NOT normal or clear as it has been years ago. Just sad because they can not make the hearing aides that suits me for my profound deafness. Cochlea Implant is also a joke and from all the experiences from few friends of mine had to give up on those also.
what ??? i can't hear you . stop sir . por favor
Hi Chris. Thanks for watching my video. I'm sorry you feel that the information was not accurate. I try to be as honest and open about research and my opinion when it comes to discussing hearing treatment and technology. That being said, sometimes when I openly talk on my videos, I cannot control everyone's interpretation of what I'm saying. I will continue to try and do better to make sure the information comes across accurately and clear. Thanks for your comment!
