I'm just beginning my research on hearing aids and found your channel to be a great resource. I especially liked the Costco Review view because a friend bought his hearing aids there and I was curious about the experience. So far my key take away is that choosing a hearing aid is mostly all about personal perference and there are an abundance of choices on the market. Thank you for breaking down custom hearing aids from a clinic or over the counter self-fitting options.

Will the Jabra Enhance 300 have the capability of being upgraded to LE?

[garmound]

What about bone conduction hearing aids?

Excellent video with clear explanations of the various types of BT connections and relative merits of each. Thank you. I chose the Phonak Lumity 90's because I am a multi device user and the BT Classic does provide additional felxibility when connecting to IOS, Android, PC etc. I do still encounter some issues when one HA will connect to my iPhone and the other to my Samsung phone! Easy to resolve though, by switching BT off on one of the phones. Great tip about the Apple IOS mic setting. Thank you

I have a friend who tried MFi with Oticon aids and it was a horrific experience. The connection kept dropping, a notable lack of ability to swap BT connections, a removal of user control in favor of AI "soundscapes", and the outbound mic is horrendous, people can barely hear you because the noise canceling doesn't work. And my favorite thing is Oticon putting out video tutorials on how to use your hearing aids... with no captions.

It's also apparent Oticon don't have audio engineers who understand how to make things besides hearing aids work. It also broke easily (in fact after one week).

Oticon is pure garbage and Apple is an absolute &^(*(ing disgrace for their use of proprietary garbage beta protocols and lack of hearing support (their live captions, still in beta after what, TWO YEARS? is also pure garbage). It's my belief that Apple places so much obsessive emphasis on battery life that it basically makes these "features" unreliable and worthless.


Phonak uses traditional BT and while that uses more battery, it obviously makes for a far more reliable BT experience. The ONLY thing Oticon apparently did well on was speech, but it literally sucked fart gases at everything else.

Can you advise if Samsung ultra 24 is L.E. blue tooth

Actually, a boat load of phones, Android and Apple, already have Bluetooth 5.2 LE Audio. Also, many hearing aids have Bluetooth 5.2 LE Audio. There really is no good reason to buy any hearing aids or phones that don't already have Bluetooth 5.2 LE Audio (5.2 (2019 release) or newer version (5.3 5.4 or+)). The 5.2 improvement is a true game changer for numerous reasons.

I think in your series you should review the KNOWN brands available to most at most AUD clinics..AND Then rate the OTC and off brands..quit mixing the two up..

[Dulcilady]

Thank you. Lots of great information here.

YouTube just popped up your site. I found it very informative but disappointed in that it did not address latency. I realize that this a special need aspect but hopefully you will provide some useful information in future videos. My left ear is beyond help. My right needs lots of HF help. Streaming music via bt on my KS10 is decent but if I feed output of my music keyboard into a bt transmitter to my K10, the delay of 500ms (guessing) renders live playing impossible. Are there any low bt latency HA options? Hope you can cover this in a future video.

Does the Orka Two also provide two way audio when connected to an Android phone?

[kattmd]

Whoa! Whoa, I’m sitting here with my android Google phone and KS10 hearing aides……with this combo I connect effortless between my I Pad Air, then answer a call on your phone (no having to disconnect anything, it just jumps from one to another…..even with my Tesla car. I’m cruising the videos for new hearing aides that have increased clarity and r😮diced background noise., doesn’t distort music and a long battery life.. The current Ap I use is Easy Line. I can create and save programs and make other adjustments Easily. I like Aps that give me that option along with an equalizer…..Any advice to point me in the right direction? Seems like a jungle in the hearing aide world. The reason to buy new ears? Clarity and a battery that doesn’t last even 24 hrs. Flying is a charging nightmare between phone, laptop and hearings fighting for in flight connections!

By far you're the best Hearing best hearing YouTuber. I think I have given up on Blue Tooth hearing aids with Android. And I find behind the ear hearing aids uncomfortable. Therefore, I am considering the Sony in ear CRE-C10. Curious though, have you used these with Bone conduction headphones or over the ear headphones? This combination might be the best for me since I walk my dog and listen to music and podcasts. I guess, I am asking if there are any feedback issues.

PHONAK Paradise Virto P90-312 uses Bluetooth LE ….That’s not included in your list of Brands/Models using B-LE.

[markfellwock]

You don’t mention durability, are your top picks rugged for us active people?

[TedRobak]

Jabra Enhance pro 20 has LE, doesn't it?

[JimDoherty-vo]

You are in error. Orka is NOT the only hearing aid that allows 2 bluetooth connections at the same time. I am wearing Kirkland (costco) KS10s right now that do that and so do the last couple generations of Phonak models

[Fab.]

The compilot air from a few years ago really helped make Bluetooth workable with hearingaids. You definitely will realise that not having an independent remote control to start and stop Bluetooth playback and control sound volume is a gigantic pain in the a s s

[geofffergusson]

Thanks for mentioning Orka, I suffered Jabra for over a year, now I am wearing Orka 2 for 3 weeks and I love them, I feel I have my hearing back. Music sounds great, my understanding in a noisy environment is good. wind sound like wind not screeching noise the Jabra offers. Battery life is adequate, by raising the GOP and lowering compression on Jabras the battery life was down from 30 to 16 hours and still sounded like crap

If my hearing aid connects to iPhone why can’t it automatically transfer toy iPad like my airpods
