In this video, Mike shares his journey with hearing loss and his recent experience with the Oticon Intent hearing aids. Starting with his initial diagnosis 40 years ago, Mike describes the challenges he faced with tinnitus and cochlear otosclerosis, a condition that led to a gradual deterioration of his hearing. After years of using various hearing aids, he recently switched to the Oticon Intent, which he praises for its advanced AI technology, deep neural networks, and 4D sound localization. These features significantly improve his speech recognition and overall hearing experience, even in noisy environments. Mike also provides practical advice on using third-party providers for purchasing hearing aids and highlights both the pros and cons of the Oticon Intent. Despite its bulkiness and need for nightly recharging, Mike is thrilled with the improved quality of life these hearing aids have brought him.
