Thank you for all your information it really helps us with hearing aid.💕👏🏼

100% agree with everything you said in the video. I’m on my third pair. Second pair of custom hearing aids. I absolutely love them! I did try the behind the ear for my second pair, never again. I felt like I couldn’t hear as good with them and every time I told the Dr, she would “tweak” them but it was never right.

Dr. Cliff, I agree with your take on advantages of custom in ear hearing aids, but you omitted what I found is another important advantage. I have been using hearing aids for several years (beginning with non-prescription aids from Eargo). Unfortunately, my hearing loss became greater than Eargo's design limits. I began trialing prescription aids. Trying RICs, I was completely unsatisfied! My Eargo's had spoiled me in one important aspect - directionality. Using RIC aids, my stereo became monophonic sound absent of soundstage. While hearing birds, when accompanying my wife on field trips, I could now hear birds but had no clue as to their location. My audiologist switched me to custom ITC aids. What an improvement! Stereo was now stereo, and now I can locate sounds much more easily, although not perfectly. If they were further in the ear canal the pinna effect would be improved providing better directionality, but they would lose both Bluetooth connectivity and rechargeable batteries.

Thanks for another great video Dr. C! I feel like I could have made this one (maybe not as well). Long time RITE user with custom power molds. So ready to ditch the wires and go ITE with the Virto. Yesterday my ENT recommended that I consider a BAHA. I’ll try it out later this week but I’m skeptical that a BAHA would be that much better.

100% agreed!

Your video sounds so clear I also got my starkey bte power plus hearing aids .evolve ai works well I’m server to profound these aids are pair with iPhone .so good i still Have to use captions on iPhone. But these are still good hearing aids .

Hi Cliff! Which companies are generally best at producing great custom IIC moulds?

Any word on when your review of jabra enhance is coming? :) Would really like to hear some words on how they perform as hearing aids regarding meeting perscriptions, how good their focus mode is and streaming and such, and whether they are better than bose in any way since the price is pretty comparable. Thanks!

Dr. Cliff I recently had moderate sensorineural hearing loss went to an audiologist and he recommended me CIC and IIC hearing aid. But he didn't explain clearly why only these options what i wanted to know was if i can go for Behind the ear hearing aid or not? Have been to multiple places but all i have come across are the distributors or salesman trying to sell me the hearing aid instead of helping out.

Anyone know of device that will allow tv audio to go to the bluetooth hearing aids as well as still come out of the TV at the same time?

sounds good for me but how much more expensive r custom aids?

Can someone who has severe hearing loss use a custom fit hit hearing aid that is in the ear? Thanks.

I have never had an Audiologist recommend this style of hearing, even though it looks like the perfect thing for my hearing issues. I assume they are way more expensive then the behind the ear that i have been wearing. I actually don't know where to find a provider who would help me decide if this would be the right way to go. My ENT is a one size fits all kind of place .

So does the Virto custom molded HA also have Double Tap Control like my Phonak Paradise Audeo 90R does???

Question: Are modern hearing aids advanced enough to improve distorted hearing from Dysacusis?

Hi Dr Cliff, Please may I ask with custom hearing aids how long will the fit last? Do they become loose over time, I did start out years ago with custom aids and as I lost more of my hearing I was told they would not have the power for me(they were cic). At the moment I use Widex 440. But it looks like I may be able to go back to them? Regards Dave.

Is there a website for such CUSTOM HEARING AID DEVICES?

I was really hoping for iic's with streaming capability. This tech existed in 2016 when I got my oticon alta 2 pros and I thought for sure there would be a cooler version by now. Does anyone know of any?

Are the Virto paradise prices similar to the Audeo paradise or does Virto cost more in general?

I would like to have custom hearing aids because of my receivers getting caught on everything and with my receivers behind my ears when I hear some sounds I am not sure where they are coming from because it is wherever my receivers pick up the sounds for me. I think with custom hearing aids I might be able to tell more where the sounds are. With my last hearing aids I had more amplification to hear some more sounds but they are just sounds in my receivers and not like I think that Hearing people here them because they know where they are and I really do not. But my Audiologist showed me the Oticon Exceed Ultrapower hearing aids and my receivers would be in back again and bigger than that sample because I have more amplification. But if custom hearing aids would have the same amount of amplification they would work and if you have custom earmolds you hear more sounds because the seal is better to get more sounds I can amplify enough to hear them. How are custom hearing for hearing and understanding speech?

But RICs aren’t just “rubber domes”. You can still make a RIC a “custom” hearing aid and manipulate venting with a click mould or C shell? Interesting points about wind noise however

That's what I have ... a receiver in the canal HA. I wear glasses, but the only time I had problems was when I'd want to remove my mask at church. Luckily right now we don't need to wear masks at churxh.

Probably much more expensive

So sad to see how now your opinion depends on how much you get from each manufacturers to promote their products. Your videos damage more than help.
