Dr Cliff I want to thank you for making these videos. It takes the mystery out of my Phonak hearing aids.

[annyed]

Slight correction - This is brand dependent, but I'm able to connect my Phonak Marvel's via Bluetooth to my Samsung tv directly. I also have a Roku TV which doesn't have Bluetooth but has a pretty good Android app which allows you to pass audio through your phone into your hearing aids. Wanted to share a couple options that are available without the use of a dedicated device.

I have been using Bluetooth with Resound aids since they were introduced. A total game changer! Would never consider aids without it.

[anderslagerqvist]

If you work on a computer there is only one way to go...
I have had Resound that was ready for ipod and had asha, but it was impossible to connect to my Mac Book Pro.
Now I got Phonak Audeo with classic bluetooth that allows me to connect to my Mac.
As I work a lot on my computer and have lots of teams/zoom meetings on it this is a HUGE gain for me.
The phone "is a tool"... the computer is my work....

I have had my More 1 Oticon hearing aids for 6 months now. I also have Apple iPhone, iPad and streaming works great. When I went for 6 month check up my hearing aids had a firm wear update allowing me to answer
My phone and talk with my hearing aids picking up my voice. These cost a lot but they are worth it to me. I served on a army rifle team. I figured that I shot 24, 000 to 28, 000 rounds with my M-1, back in 1959. I also served in Vietnam in 1965. I have only had hearing aids for about 5 years. The VA tries to disallow hearing aids even though they are most often needed by veterans. One thing though, I really hadn’t heard what my wife said to me all those years she said I didn’t listen.

My take on Phonak and Oticon paired with Galaxy S10:
1) Phonak - The double-tap was very inconsistent and so unreliable. The double-tap would frequently be activated by jaw movement - chewing, talking or yawning resulting with unwanted call hangup, muting, or activation of the phone assistant. Had to turn it off. Phone conversations through the hearing aids were noisy for the other participant. Rechargable battery life is short, sometimes requiring a recharge in the early night. Would lose connectivity to one or the other hearing aid. Sometimes turning the hearing aids off then on would allow a reconnection. Turning the hearing aids off using the recharger always seemed to allow a reconnection.
2) Oticon - Would loose connectivity with at least one hearing aid to the phone several times per day. I would usually discover this when receiving a phone call. On ocassion both hearing aids would be disconnected. Recovery required re-pairing the hearing aids or rebooting the phone. Turning the hearing aids off-on never helped. Infrequently, I would lose conectivity to the Oticon Clip (one ear) or more infrequently one of the hearing aids would reboot. I was surprised by this as my Oticon On did not do this.

I got the Oticon more 1 hearing aids about a month ago. I had a Samsung note 20 ultra phone. I ended getting an iPhone because of the Bluetooth connectivity issues with my android phone. I lost connection a lot and I didn’t like that I couldn’t answer the phone with the hearing aids. The hearing aids Bluetooth function way better on an iPhone. I’ve had zero connection issues.

I'm 47 with hearing loss and bad tinnitus and have been putting off hearing aids for too long. I use android devices and frequently use Google's Bluetooth ear buds. I've always felt that I've been waiting for the hearing aid companies to catch up with regular consumer technology. Are we there yet? Will the competition from over-the-counter aids from consumer electronics companies accelerate Bluetooth and phone app connectivity options?

This information on these four hearing aids should be set up in a comprehensive chart so the various features could be visually compared. The way this information is given it is overwhelming to try to compare and contrast the features.

[froggy]

How did Jabra enhance pro 10 (costco but close to enhance select 200 in features) do? Test driving now.

[craigt]

I have the Phonak Audeo P90 aids. The VA supplied them for me. I am really happy overall with the ease of use and comfort of these aids. I do use Apple products . Also the TV connector boxes are easy to set up, and the VA supplied one for each TV. I will be getting new aids sometime in ‘24. It will be interesting to see what technology advances show up.

Hi Doc,
Do you have any info on which of these products you've reviewed allows for connection to multiples of their respective TV streamer units?
I think I heard that the ReSound hearing aids could connect to up to 2 streamers (i.e. toggle inside the app to connect to the 'living room TV streamer', and then later change to connect to the 'bedroom TV streamer'. etc. etc.
Thanks, if you know.

[DianaAyobami]

Thank you for your videos, they are very helpful! I have a question: can using the bluetooth feature on HA cause hearing loss? Thanks!

[truthseeker]

Dr. Cliff,

Thank you isn’t enough!

Wishing you all success in 2023!

[hadtobe]

Thanks for the video as always very helpful...quick question, is Widex near in quality of the 4 you just mentioned? My provider is letting me try Phonak, opticon and Widex but doesn't have Starkey.... should I go to a different provider to try them? Please advise and thanks in advance

[johnsmith]

I'm wondering what led to Signia AX missing the cut?

Thanks a million for your, as usual, great comparison summary video...

[CarolynAbraham-sv]

SSD here since childhood. “Good” ear is declining. Have Kirkland 10 for that side. Made by Sonova. Question is can I add transmitter from deaf ear while using the aid. Making this a bi cros?

[pthover]

Excellent video! Have you heard any news about a new Oticon HA to replace the Oticon more 1 line? I have loved mine which I used constantly for streaming, live performance (I am a trumpet player), and of course communication. My more 1's will soon be 2 years old and are still doing well, but I am wondering if a new version will be coming out soon by Oticon with even more developed features? Thanks for your great educational videos!

Hi Doc. I have been looking into bone conduction hearing aids. What are the options available. I have a bluetooth bone conduction headphones and I love them

[involvementinc]

I'm preparing to investigate hearing aids. Your videos have given me so much good information. THANKS!
