@denniswhite5440 Thanks for your comment. The connectivity to the iPhone with the Nexia is as good or better than any other hearing aid. But, yes, the Bluetooth sound quality is sub-par. The best way to address this is to have your audiologist create a music program for you with the low and mid frequencies significantly increased. You may also want to manually increase the low frequencies and decrease the high frequencies further in the Smart3D app. Use this program to stream music and it will sound MUCH better. The Phonak Infinio (especially the "sphere" model) is a great hearing aid. It literally came out two days ago. I have been wearing it ever since and am very impressed. The only drawbacks are the size (it's quite large) and the price (also large). You can expect a review video soon.

@myfavoritesongdfilip Try turning your affected ear to the ground and kicking your leg. Sometimes that can jar any trapped water loose. It's also possible you have wax that the water is trapped behind. If that's the case, you'll need to get the wax removed (at an audiologist or ENT). Good luck!

@@ishyaa2837 Thanks for watching!

@@DonAlderOfficial hearing aids have always been designed primarily for speech understanding. Historically, they have not been great for music. Most hearing aids will have the ability to add a music program (that usually has increased bass and a more linear or analog sound). My favorite current hearing aids for music are the Phonak Lumity and the ReSound Nexia. Hope that helps a little!

@@hearingandbalancedoctors3275 thanks for the answer i would be using them as a guitarist to play music and heard the phonak still has about a 6ms delay vs the much less ms delay for the widex have you experienced that or comments back about that. Listening to music not as much as a priority for me

They haven't made any changes that would have an effect on music, since the SmartRIC is based on the Widex Moment platform.

@Onesteptosuccess2 Meniere's disease cannot be cured. But it can be managed with hearing aids, a low sodium diet (which can help attacks occur less frequently), and sometimes a diuretic. Hope that helps!

@@hearingandbalancedoctors3275 🤣🤣

Thank you for the feedback.

Thanks for watching. And you are correct, we've simplified a complicated question. Every hearing loss is different. It is also a possibility that the hearing aids need a little work. I'd recommend seeing your audiologist to discuss your situation and to give him or her a chance to work on your hearing aids. Good luck!

Thanks for watching. The sound quality of the Nexia is very good. ReSound hearing aids in general do have a very "sharp" sound, however. Some people love it (it sounds crisp and clear), while others think it's too harsh. This comes from the fact that ReSound does not shy away from high frequency gain like many manufacturers do. ReSound's proprietary fitting algorithm favors audibility over comfort and ReSound also does a better job amplifying at 8 kHz than most manufacturers. The sharp sound is also due to ReSound using very fast time constants. This results in a very clear, but almost harsh sound. The new Nexia hearing aid also performs better in background noise than almost all other hearing aids. Hearing in background noise is never perfect, but the Nexia uses beam-forming directional microphones that allow for a narrow beam of amplification resulting in a better signal to noise ratio, and ultimately better hearing. This is especially evident in the 7 and 9 level technology. Bottom line: the sound quality is excellent. Sometimes people prefer the sound processing algorithms of one company over another (some people just really like Oticon's slow time constants for example) but I would argue that the sound quality of the Nexia is among the top two or three in the whole industry. Cheers! Hope that helps!

@@hearingandbalancedoctors3275 Thank you for your detailed reply, much appreciated. Will definitely give them a go.

I'm sorry it's been irritating! That's not very common, but it happens occasionally. And there are lots of different types of ear buds your audiologist could try with you. One example, that usually fits really well, would be a custom-made ear mold. I'd recommend returning to your audiologist and discussing options. Good luck!

Great question. BelTone is a large hearing aid sales group. They use ReSound hearing aids, but private label them as BelTone. Essentially, BelTone hearing aids are ReSound hearing aids. Probably even more important than the hearing aid you choose is the provider you choose. I would recommend someone with the credentials "AuD" (Doctor of Audiology). Often, the big sales groups like BelTone or Miracle Ear do not employ doctors. You can also ask friends or your primary care doctor for recommendations for good doctors. Hope that helps!

Thanks for watching! And yes, there are rumors of Phonak launching a new product in the early fall. We're anxious to see what it is!

They work well. And I agree, the Nexia is one of the very best hearing aids for noisy bars and restaurants. However, like most hearing aids, it is not perfect and really noisy places can still be difficult

I'm nee to hearing aids and been wearing them since January and noisy places like restaurants/bars are not great with them. Depending on the place, I may just take them off completely since I'd be able to focus and hear the person I'm talking to instead of hearing everything but them. I'm also starting to have issues with them now where one or both just go really low on sound, and every sound goes faint. It's getting to the point where I hear better without them on. Might just be a dud, but I'm going back in to have them look at them. For 7k, I hoped to have much better hearing and working hearing aids but so far, it's been really frustrating for almost 6 months.

Yes! The Nexia is flexible enough to handle most hearing losses

You are correct. There has to be an auracast compatible transmitting device (like your phone) and an auracast compatible receiving device. The Nexia hearing aids are auracast compatible receiving devices as are the latest Samsung Galaxy Buds Pro 2. Hope that makes sense!

@@hearingandbalancedoctors3275 oh interesting. I have the Galaxy buds pro 2. I'll have to check it out.

You'll have to check out our newer videos -- much better audio!

@@hearingandbalancedoctors3275 Yes, I will, thank you for letting me know.

No, the battery is not replaceable by the audiologist. It needs to be sent to the manufacturer to replace it. My understanding is that they break the water resistant seal when they replace the battery and it must be resealed by the manufacturer. Fortunately, though, our experience is that these batteries last for about 4 years. So it may need to be replaced one time in the life of the hearing aid.

Thanks for the question! The Jabra Pro 20 is the Coscto model GN product. GN owns both ReSound and Jabra and historically GN has put one model in Costco. The Costco product is locked to audiologists and cannot be programmed or adjusted outside of a Costco. Because of this, the detailed technical specs are unknown to audiologists. Typically, however, the product itself is good. It is usually a de-featured version of ReSound's latest product. The biggest difference is where a patient would rather seek care. Typically, Costco hearing aids can be a good idea for someone who is price conscious and not looking for a lot of professional service. The quality of care and competence of providers can vary greatly across Costcos. Very seldom are doctors of audiology practicing at Costco. For those seeking "gold standard" care (a comprehensive audiologic evaluation, hearing aid fitting including Real Ear measures, aural rehabilitation, tinnitus management, and continuing follow up care) going to a doctor of audiology might make sense. The actual hearing aid is a notch above the Costco product, but most of the cost difference comes from the level of professional care. Bottom line: both are good options. The decision usually depends upon what level of professional care the patient wants or needs.

It's the same aid. Don't listen to these guys, they don't know squat about Costco aids. They are not locked at all. I self program and had both the Resound One and the Jabra Pro. There were exactly the same. The only difference being the tinnitus option isn't a default. Just visit HearingTracker and in the forum section you can read how real audiologist's easily adjust Costco aids. There are so many of us that self program that there are whole forum threads just on that topic and no Costco aid has been locked for well over 5 years. These guys are outdated

I used the SiGNIA DIGITAL 12 CHANNEL mission for two ears and had this problem

Thanks for the feedback!

Yes! In fact, custom Nexia products just recently became available!
