Thank you. Your videos are very helpful. I have lost most of hearing in only 1 ear. Other is totally normal. I’m glad I discovered your channel in my research. It’s the best source of information I’ve been able to find.

I need to get hearing aids and have an appointment with an audiologist. Your videos have helped me immensely. I might have gone the direct to consumer online route had I not found your channel. Thank you.

You are one of the best Tubers out there. Amazing knowledge, transparency, presentation & likeability. No ridiculous zoom cuts or 30second logo intros with blasting music. Just the goods. Bravo! I wish I had a friend like you :) Do you know if the newer Costco Rexton Bicore offering is the same/similar as Signia Charge and Go AX? Thanks and keep up the good work!

Good info, clearly presented….thanks!

Thank you Dr. Cliff it’s could to know about our hearing aids💕👍🏻👏🏼

Showing once again why you are one of the best. You do all the work so the rest of us don't have too! I really appreciate you being so familiar with all the available technology that I can rely on your recommendations.

Thank you for your candid advice. I'm helping my father-in -law make an informed decision. We really appreciate your straight shooter approach. KenH

This is great. I will look up each one for the prices. Thank you.

Hello, thank you for this! Will you be making a video for the top in-ear options as well?

I am a newbie to hearing aids and shopping to buy one in Canada. Your info helps a lot and offers a lot of information. I will be listening to more of your videos to help decide. Thank you for helping us understand the world of hearing problems and aids!

Thank you so much!

You Rock Doc!!

When I first got my hearing aid 6 years ago, there wasn't much information out there about hearing aids. My audiologist hardly explained anything to me and I didn't know what to ask either. My first hearing aid was the basic Resound model that had no volume control button. The only thing I could do was change the settings. I love that I can now hear better now but I wasn't in love with my hearing aid. Sometime it would be super loud. Then I got another hearing aid for my other ear through the state and they required the model that has buttons where you could adjust the volume when in a very noisy area. I had no idea that was even an option. I love my new hearing aid right away. However I had mention that my right hearing aid is a little uncomfortable and I don't wear it often. My audiologist just said that my right ear is a lot small then my left ears and didn't offer much help. Recently I went to get my hearing tested again and I asked about new hearing aids since mine has started to have a buzzing sound. It was obviously time to get a new one. Again my audiologist was not very informative so I started to do my own research. I don't think a lot of audiologist who can hear normal, really understand how important the features on hearing aids matters so much to someone who is deaf or have hard of hearing. As someone who likes to go out with friends, do activities, and live a normal lifestyle, I want the best hearing aid out there is so I can live my best life comprehending and conversating. The information you shared in your videos are so important and should be part of every hearing aid consultation. From the small to big features on the hearing aids, it all make a difference. Thank you so much for making these comprehensive videos about hearing aids!!!!

Dr. Thanks for the video. i am new here. I am a Nigerian and a less priviledged. i have been diagnosed of moderately severe hearing loss in my left hear since 15 years ago, bur i have not been able to acquire any hearing aids since then till date because of fund. i have just been managing the situation with hard of hearing symptoms everyday. i will be very grateful even if i can be entitled to free hearing aids even if it is old that can fit into my hearing condition. i shall be grateful for this if considered sir. Yours brother in Love.

Thank you for your informative videos! You’re wonderful.

I believe the Rexton BiCore hearing aids available at Costco are equivalent to the Signia Pure Charge & Go hearing aids. They’re made by the same company and have the same accessories and the feature list seems very similar. I just got the Rextons and I’m happy with them so far.

Thanks!

I so much appreciate your feedback on these hearing aids. I trust your judgment implicitly. Thank you.

Thank you for an excellent video! I had been trying to decide between the Phonak Audeo Paradise 90R and Oticon More for over 2 months. I loved the technology of the Phonak but for some reason, my Audiologist could not explain every time the Autosense would change programs it would make a musical tone, so loud that my son and husband once heard it. Became very annoying and returned them for another set of Phonak's. The same thing occurred, frequent musical tones throughout the day even if my environment didn't change. The Audiologists spoke with Phonaks technical service and they couldn't explain it either so finally decided to try the Oticon More 1, picked them up yesterday and so far so good. They do not have some of the features that Phonak has but the sound quality is good and no longer do I hear the program changes. Seems no one else has experienced this, maybe I am the odd one out :)

I just found your channel and love it. I have to say that your shirts are the best I have ever seen. Please share what brand you wear and do you get them tailored?

I've had hearing challenges since I was in the 3rd grade. I was using them until someone teased me in class and stopped using since. 30 years later, I found myself getting my hearing tested and in the market for hearing aid. Obviously have matured since then and looking forward to the advancements in technology now. I have moderate severe to severe hearing loss in left ear, right ear is still doing well. I'm not sure if I can purchase just one hearing aid as I don't really need one for my right ear. I'm seriously considering Phonak Paradise Life since I do a bit of hiking and want that extra protection for sweat and possibly wet conditions while hiking and camping. This video has been really helpful and looking forward to my next appointment on Monday.

Thank you Doctor from India

Thank you for making this video. It is interesting as well as informative. This is the first time I have heard of a hearing aid that works with Tinnitus. In one ear I have hearing loss do to Stapes Bone fusion and produces the Tinnitus. I think the Tinnitus may have been caused by the surgery to improve hearing in that ear. I was told that a hearing aid will not help that ear’s hearing ability but I was told that 20 years ago and much has changed. I will check out the in-depth descriptions of each one later.

Great Information, best for severe tinnitus would have been great (Widex never worked well for me) and last PRICE is essential for all of us, please do not disregard the import of this.

Hello Dr. Cliff, what brand do you recommend for individuals with tinnitus? Thank you, Daniel

Thank you so much for this videos. Which I always benefit from. But can you recommend hearing aids for single-sided hearing loss? ..

Hello! You say in the video you will have other "best of" videos for other hearing aid types, as well as detailed videos for each of the models you feature here. Have these videos been released yet? Thank you.

Hi there Dr. Cliff, thank you so much for keeping us informed. Your videos are as always - top notch! Small question - how do I find an audiology in the UK that follows the best practices as per your recommendations? Thanks.

Thank you for the videos they are great could you tell me us what the price ranges are?

Thank you for your video. I currently have Widex hearing aids, but I believe I will need to upgrade to Widex Motum.

Hey Dr. Cliff. My wife just got a new iPhone for her birthday and I am curious to know if all the new mag safe stuff is safe for her hearing aids? Thanks again. Your feedback videos were and are a godsend.

Thank you.

Hi Cliff, when I cup my hand over my right ear I hear a beeping sound . Have not been able to get a reason for this from audiologist or the my hearing aid company. Should I be concerned ? I respect your answer and your professionalism.

What is the difference between "Phonak Audeo Paradise" and "Naida Paradise"? Very helpful video and content. Thanks!

Your videos are amazing. Just wondering if audeo life is available in the Uk now ?

Thanks for the video, very informative, I currently own the Widex Momoment 440 and I really like it, I have chosen this one over the Starkey livio 2400ai , the sound is way more natural on the moment.

For readers, list the hearing aid names and price right from the get go. Then discuss them in order. The omission of price is a serious disservice to the customer. A price range would be good enough. People need to know a model brand name and if it is $1000 or $5000. The first question I always ask is, “What is the price” and it doesn’t matter if it is a new roof or a pair of sun glasses. If your product is out of my range, I need to move on along and waste neither your time or mine.

I am 68 and half of the time i wear a 10 dollar over the ear hearing aid in my right ear, and it is just amazing, it makes a big difference, i can hear perfectly,i think; would it be worth for me to get a much more expensive one? thanks

Thanks Dr Cliff for this nice video. I would like to ask about the case where the patients suffer from hearing the loud sounds (Too Loud) although the MPO is programmed perfectly and below LDL. What should we do for them ??

Hello Dr. Cliff I came across your channel and found it very informative. My grandson has a hearing loss in the left ear only and his audiologist said the best option for him is cochlear implant since he keeps throwing out the current device they have made for him and which his parents believe it did no good to him either. He is 3 years old and autistic and has sensory issues and the doctor recommended doing this surgery sooner than later. What is your advice. Is it a big or small surgery ? Thank you so much

Hi Doctor Cliff, I am new to hearing aids and am told I have RSHL which I guess is hard to program. Is there a hearing aid you would suggest and any features or setup I should request? Thank you!

Please do a review on the Widex Sheer

Hello and thank you for the informative videos! What Cros hearing aid brand do you recommend? I have single sided deafness and have tried different ones and now wearing the Starkey Edge 2400 AI, not to happy with them.

Hi Dr Cliff, I was looking for the link to the other best of categories you mentioned or have you not made them yet? 🤔

HNY Dr Cliff. Is there any preference for noise reduction in busy environments ? (I need a CROS system)

Any particular option best for single-sided hearing loss?

Thank you Dr for these interesting and informative videos however do you have info on hearing aids for 81yr old with hearing loss but because she wears glasses the back of the ear ones are not suitable. Can you send me info on very small inside ear canal hearing aides like Nano or if smaller since she is very petite. Please advise, thank you

Hi Doc I’m looking to buy my first pair of hearing aids . I went to miracle ear and tried their meenergy R4 AX model was very disappointed can you give me any input your videos are great thanks Keith ✌️😀

Hi doc thnx for your very informatieve video’s. I am looking for 1. the best hearing aid with a cros function and 2. Because I stream during the night Storytel tell books I need aan rechargable hearing aid that will cover at last 20 hours in combination with the quickest charging capacity. Which one would you recommand? Than you very much

Some people prefer CIC ...what is the best one to have for mild to moderate hearing loss?

Today I ordered my first pair of hearing aids after being tested last week. I went to an audiologist with the results of my hearing test because he was the closest to where I live. When I found out he was wearing hearing aids I blurted out "I want whatever you're wearing!" Obviously I'm a bit self conscience and their invisibility piqued my interest. We talked for a long time and ultimately I ordered the Oticon More standard. (base level) I can't tell you how relieved I was when I watched your video and I felt I made a decent choice. This whole thing is a bit mind boggling because it feels like there so many technologies out there and it's hard to get my head wrapped around it all without getting a headache. I'm a stage manager that directs from the back of a room, sometimes 300 feet from the stage. Granted, there is a very nice and powerful sound system in the ballrooms where I work, but I am also wearing a headset on my left year talking to the crew and though I have been assured I can adjust things if I need to between the left and right sides, I'm pretty anxious right now! You have a very reassuring presence and I'm hoping these work out as easily as I have been assured! Great video!

Hey! Can you please make a video on Neuro 2 cochlear implant from oticon medical? Would love to know your thoughts on that device.

Are any of these recommended for moderately to severe hearing loss?

This year will be my first use of a hearing aid. I found this video both informational and yet confusing by all the information. Since I'm new to this subject it will take awhile to understand the various options and which will will benefit me the most. I'll watch the reviews on each unit and hopefully gain a clearer understanding. Thanks again

Hi, Mr. Cliff, Can a 5 minutes exposure to 95 db cause permanent loss of hair cells when the ear just recovered a TTS before? I'd be glad for an answer.

Thank you doc. What are your thoughts about the Signia 7x ?

I am very happy with my Oticon More Micro Shell Mold recharageble Aid in Black. I wish blue was still an option but I do like my color black. I dont like the very boring conservative colors. The charge is very good.

I have a question. I have a over the ear hearing aid that’s is going out do to the cord. It sometimes stop working and easy fix is to bring it in and replace it. My question is just how good are the cords that connect to the ear mode? Are they relabel? Or am I going to be changing them constantly when they keep going out. I had to change mine out every year. The funny thing I’m using my Apple iPod as a listening device. Only problem I have to use my iPhone. Cause it act as microphone. Anyway, any help about the cord would be much appreciated.

Isnt the kirkland ks 10 same as Phonak Audeo Paradise P90 (except for the active-event receiver option) ? It would be worth mentioning that.

What do you think of the Evolv Al, Starkey compared to the two you just compared in the video? I need to make a decision soon and it is a big decision.

I wish I had more time to watch all these hearing aid videos, but I’m looking for something super low-profile and zero hassle for my beautiful mom who isn’t so good with using technology. The new hearing aids seem overly complicated for someone her age to operate. Does anyone have any ideas? Mahalo!

Myself Vinod Arora from New Delhi, India, I have Mild Sensorineural slopping hearing loss in Right ear and Moderately severe sensorineural loss in left ear, so can I go in for Phonak P 30 R? waiting for your response!!

Should I be retested for hearing after fluid removed? Test was done before fluid removed. Was told I need right left hearing aides. I’m wondering if test be done after fluid remove would be better

Hi Dr. Cliff, I suffer from hearing loss in one ear and tinnitus. Due to the tinnitus I would like to use the hearing aid constantly, to balance my hearing. In this case, which is better? rechargable or disposable battery hearing aid? Thank you

I have just upgraded to Resound One. My audiologist said my hearing loss wasn’t suited to M&rie. Any thoughts?

I play acoustic guitar and have higher frequency loss in both ears. I need hearing aids and the reproduction of my guitar is vital.....in one the sound is digitized at a carrier of 9.5 kilo-hertz. NONE of the other manufactures will give out that one spec and it is important to me. Can you give me those specs on the 6 hearing aids in this video or tell me which one produces the best reproduction of my guitar's analog audio. Thakns. Your videos are great. If i was in Phoenix, I would use you. Be well.

the bug in the new program which resets your volumn setting you set on the first page of a Custom Program gets reset to 0-0 when you go to the "adjust program" option for the Custom Program.

In a review it would be nice to have pricing as part of the information

Can you please review Puretone hearing aids. Is there a good ITC (In the canal) hearing aid (Puretone) for profound hearing loss? I am here in the Philippines and they mostly have Puretone here.

I am a physician and need my hearing aides to hear and distinguish heart tones and lung sounds. Is there any hearing aid that is recommended for professionals in medical field?

Thank you so much for what you do❤️ You help so many people. I'm in Australia and I have just got tinnitus. So I have been watching your videos to find out more about it. Not many places in Sydney Australia that deal with it. If you know of someone in Australia that could help that would be amazing. Thank you.

Mine are hidden in my ear,they are red and blue. The right one is red and the blue is for the left. I have a 90 day trial on them. So far I don't care for them. Back ground noise is a big problem, and the blue on squeeks and squils and then when it's working it starts beeping. I have small ear canales and these keep slipping out. I do grab my ear to open it by pulling it up and back. I lost my hearing over night in my left ear, All of it. My right is no help that one is half gone,has been since I was 5 years old, which ones would be best for me? Oh I have multiple sclerosis and seizures. Thank you so much. Have a great week 😀

Excellent review thank you. One ,hopefully helpful, critical comment. Learn to deliver without the hand motions, of at least put them out of the camera view. Constant hand talking is extremely distracting. Thanks

Have you had a chance to start any preliminary evaluation of the Earlens product?

I have had the Costco Signature RS10 hearing aids which I am returning because I've been told by they are Discontinuing selling Them because they have Charging difficulties with them. Now I have to start from square one to find the best hearing aid sold by Costco. What do you recommend?

Is edge mode of Starkey is useful in noisy surrounding? I am a teacher.I want to buy a new pair.but I can't decide. May be Signia Ax works better?:(( I am getting tired of listening background noise and I hear the sounds too much.:((

I recently got new aids,beltone. Few hiccups setting them up. Can't use cell phone,with sound going direct into aids. Even thou cell phone is newer. KZfaq,music from phone works but the phone in use needs to be on speaker unless I turn off Bluetooth first. Bit frustrating. Still trying to figure out how to set TV up ,to directly go into aids. We need a split wire or something,TV had sound bar. But over all quality has been great. Price was high

Buon giorno Doctor Cliff, a pity a saw this video, only now, i've just bought my first hearind aid, only 2 months ago, Amplifon , reciever in canal i hope this is as good with this brands like in your video, it takes me long to buy , coz i cant afford, but after i got this covid omicron my hearing loss is severe. Is this Amplifon is good too? Hoping you will reply me Doctor cliff, i live here in italy. Thank you.

I was surprised to see the "Stop Tinnitus" ad on this site, as supplements for tinnitus have no scientific basis and function only as placebos. The ad even downplayed the importance of hearing aids for tinnitus control!

Can any of the ones you recommend be purchased at Costco?

What about Miracle Ear Hearing Aids? I have the ME3500 DS LI RIC BTE RITC for both ears. Bought in 2020 and was told they were the best that Miracle Ear had then. I paid over $7000 for them.

does the Resound one still have a microphone on the top of the ear and inside the ear? I tried hearing aids a few years ago and gave up because I could not get used to them., but really need to get some now. Following your channel is helping me to be more informed when I go to an audiologist. I am wondering which you would recommend for someone who has sensory issues. The noise of just brushing my hair back drove me crazy with the BTE ones I tried before(and the wind sounds--I love outdoor activities), and the sound was so artificial and made everything loud , not just conversations. The in the ear types made me feel very plugged up. I am leaning towards the Resound because of the microphone in the ear, and claims for more natural sound. Any advice?

What is the best hearing aid for a musician, singer-songwriter? I have significant hearing loss in my right ear and moderate in my left. I recently tried the Widex 440 but when I put it on music there is a whole lot of background noise. How do I remedy that? Thanks

I am a respiratory therapist any of these work well with a stethoscope. I presently use a litman electronic stethoscope

Does the Starkey have built in REM?

My hearing aid specialist just ordered me Bernafon Alpha Mini Rite rechargeable hearing aids I was offered Phonak if i wanted but i guess it is not their house brand.Have you had any experience with Bernafon since they did not make your list of 6

Dr. Cliff, now that the Audeo Life P90 has been out for awhile, are patients saying they are truly waterproof as claimed. That is, can you swim, kayak, play soccer, etc with these aids and not have to worry? Thanks!

First HA. I bought and returned the Eargo6.I couldn't stand the metallic sound. I'm a classical musician with mild high Freq. loss. My mids and lows are normal. My Aud. lent me the more1 to meet my high demands. I find its Bluetooth capabilities a bit weird. If I have BT toggled on it distorts the accessibility BT iPhone, iPad connectivity. I have to turn BT off to avoid this, which means the app is worthless to me if I'm streaming via accessibility setting with BT off. My question is, knowing my very picky and snobby relationship with sound, do. you think I'd do better with the Phonak P90, then the More1? Or would you recommend I try a different model for a mild hearing loss in a Juilliard trained musician (me). Thank you (if you see this Dr. C)!

As a cyclist, I have to deal with a lot of wind noise while riding. I emailed Lively, and they didn't answer any of my questions related to wind noise. Do you think in the ear hearing aids will perform better than over ear hearing aids? Also, with hearing aids, will I be able to tell the direction a car is approaching from (like from behind me)? Thanks

This is an older video but what are your thoughts on innerscope

Who sells your first recommendation (Phonak Audio) waterproof in Maple Grove Mn ? I been researching fir 2 years and can’t find a suitable hearing aide without hearing everything but the persons I am talking to. Restaurant noises forks falling in the kitchen instead of the person I’m talking to.

thank you so much for the hearing aids but I have a question about the phonak hearing aids will they have motion sensors in case the owner falls that 911 will be called

Do you have a Video of best aid for the lowest price

Hi Dr Cliff, can you recommend a best hearing aid option for a 6 years old (just diagnosed because of speech delay issue) with reverse slope hearing loss 60db at 1K and 2K frequency please

I went through my ent where I used to live. I was tested and told i was eligible for hearing aid in one of my ears back in 2008. I didn’t have money . I was told it was volume but now I am not hearing certain tones. Should I see an ent again before I try to see about hearing aids?

Left ear is missing some higher pitch sounds vs the perfect hearing right ear. I am an audiophile so only need the left ear hearing aid. I have one demo the More 1. What would be the best hearing aid company for only listening to music for 4 to 5 hours a day? I have very mild loss in my right ear at age 69.

Hello Doctor I m a first year medical student.. And i have severe hearing loss.. I cannot hear anything in the conference hall with the lecture with mask.. Plz suggest me wat is good for me... Is Bluetooth hearing aid with mic gonna be helpful..

I need to get a new hearing aid. I'm looking for one that doesn't make any strange noises when using a T-coil. I have Signa and I must say that I am very disappointed because the T-coil produces only a buzzing sound.

Do you have any recommendations where someone wouldn't have to refi their home to buy them? And more so since I've read their Lifespan is not all that good. I'm also a Veteran and on Medicare with the supplement. Thank you. I'm also both a member of Sam's Club and Costco.

You seem to suggest the same manufacturers as last year. There are others out there. Are you testing aids from all manufacturers? or just the ones you prefer?
