For sure I’d like to understand everything! A zoom class is a great idea! You’re a bright man and a phenomenal communicator. As for me, love to learn, especially about what benefits my quality of life 😎

[kimhanna]

I would sign up for your course for sure. As a Canadian, there are only 2 Hearing Up Audiologists in all of Canada! So, we need knowledge to be our own hearing aid advocates AND a higher Hearing Up presence in Canada.

[mandopicker]

As a hard of hearing individual, learning about audiology and solutions has been really valuable and a way to feel on top of my hearing loss.

So yeah, a course like you describe could be of interest.

My husband and I were fortunate enough to be able to pay off our mortgage early. We were both still working, and took the payment amount that we had been using to pay off our mortgage faster and we put it straight into investments. We were able to retire early because of almost 7 years of putting away what would have been our mortgage payment as well as maxing out our 401K/403B plans. Thankfully we were taught by both of our parents the value of living within our means. Thank you for your advice. I know it will help people. we are interested in investments that could set me up for retirement, I mean I've heard of people that netted hundreds of thousands during these crash, I listened to someone on a podcastwho earned over $650K in less than a year, what's the strategy behind such returns?

[heidispeasmaker]

Yes, please! I would love to take a course provided by you . I am ready to get my hearing checked, as I know I have hearing loss. My kids tell me it will be the best present for them when I get hearing aids! I am in the Austin area, and the last time I checked, there were only two clinics in your Hearing Up system, and they are both WAAAAY south from me. I sure wish there were more options for my location. Surely there are more clinics that provide best practices in the Austin, TX area, but I have no way to find them. Thank you for all you do. I have learned a lot from you!

Taking a course would be great. I'm in Australia on the East coast of New South Wales so time zones could be tricky especially during our summer as we have daylight saving. (That would be your winter.)

[MickMarlowe]

I would definitely be interested - male, 85, possible APD, HA user for 38 years, currently wearing Phonak Naida Lumity 90s

Doc. Cliff has unlocked the "Click Bait Pro" badge 🤣

[VEDIC]

I admire your aim to educate hearing aid professionals. That is a great idea. I am learning how to get maximum benefits from HA through your podcast. I would like to see you every week in the podcast.

[jackandwendygroner]

I’d be interested in such a course if it also included cross conversations between you and the students

[bobschmetterer]

Cliff … I would sign up for for a consumer/patient course in a minute! Having seen most if not all of your videos and blogs over the past couple of years Iv learned a great deal … and certainly enough to have great conversations and thoughts to my ongoing relationship with my audiologist and certainly following the extraordinary changes and curve of technology that is happening monthly. For me the answers to having my personal “best practices” includes the relationship between the audiologist, the products and me. And should be at least a third of each of those. As with all trying to get to medicine 3.0 requires patients to have an enormous to say. And that requires a good deal of the right kind of ongoing eduction … so yes … please sign me up! Bob

I drive over 90 miles round trip to see my Hearing Up AUD. Worth every mile of it. Thanks

[SiFiFantasy]

You're going to retire!!! Don't scare me like that!!! I love this channel, it really help educate me on my hearing loss and latest hearing aids developments

[retiredonabike]

Yes please on teaching the end user of hearing devices

[jeffreyhook]

A live course is a great idea—one I would like to participate in. HA user for 25 years.

[lauramaeda]

I am always up for an in person class. Virtual learning is okay but i miss having in person classes. My Hearing Up audiologist, Scot Frink, AuD, at Salem Audiology Clinic, has in person classes several times a month and I have found classes to be beneficial. There’s a real need for education and support for the hearing impaired. It also would be interesting for me to compare your teaching styles.

[timspetzman]

As a Bilateral Meniere's Disease hearing aid wearer I'd LOVE a session like you mentioned Dr. Cliff. Hearing aids are such a large investment both financially, and from a user perspective. Thanks for all that you have done so far!!

[jesseworrell]

Yes. I would be interested in a live course. Where I get treated for hearing loss they "pick" hearing aids for me and I wonder how they come to that choice. I have Phonak Marvel so at some point it will be time to upgrade.

[kshermy]

I'm interested. I have about 40 years invested covering about 12 aids and 5 manufacturers. My Phonak Audeo Lifes are almost 3 years old now and as I keep close to the latest technology I will upgrade very soon. Keep reporting on the latest Tech. I have great hope for AI on board, as with the new Phonak Sphere and believe with Best Practices and the latest tech great hearing will be expected.

BYW I really enjoyed your reporting from the Sphere in LV. I love the Sphere and it was truly EPIC for Phonak to name their new baby and host the announcement there.

You couldn't ever be happy retiring when the best is coming
