Brian kind Sir...in my 91 yrs on this earth...I have never seen and/or heard awesome; as you are. If any one can not learn from you; they simply can't learn. Thank you kind Sir for sharing your talents with us. ❤You.
thank you so much!
I did not hear the 8000hz and kept waiting for you to play it 😂
Thank you for this! Definitely helpful!
It’s common to not hear 8000Hz as well with lower frequencies. It’s been proven as we age, high frequencies like 8000 are the first ones to dip. Glad you found this helpful. No problem! 😁
I recently had surgery to get a cochlear implant done, and my audiologist tested me a few weeks back, and I'm back into the normal hearing range.
Modern technology is awesome. I'm watching and listening to this video without closed captions.
My hearing loss before surgery was in the profound hearing loss range.
Wow, that’s amazing! Congrats 🍾
Super helpful, Brian. Thanks so much.
Glad it was helpful!
You made this all clear! Thanks
You're very welcome!
Great explaination hearing tests. Keep on making these videos!
You bet! I'm glad these are helping everyone. Don't forget to check out the other videos and make sure you sub!!!

Our pleasure!
This is really helpful... you shared great details not available everywhere... in just one video. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!
I'm thankful for this video.
I'm glad it helped!
Excellent!! Very worthwhile.
Glad it was helpful!
very informative, thank you. i've been experiencing difficutly in understanding words esp in higher frequencies, like the one in the speech banana whispering sound is very difficult to hear esp when there is background noise, also understanding different letters. your video helped me understand why. thanks
Absolutely! I'm glad it helped ☺️
Thanks for this great video, Brian! 👍
My pleasure sir! I want to do a new one since this was one of my first videos.
Really appreciate your videos. Thank you.
My pleasure!
Helpful vid thank you

absolutely! and thank you so much for your support!
Very informative, This will help me for my upcoming hearing test.
Glad it was helpful! Good luck with your test! You will do great!
Me too. Excellent video & knowledge ahead of my test next week. Thanks so much for this information.
Absolutely!
Thank you so much. This is all new to me. I'm trying to understand, without the pressure of an audiologist's sales pitch, whether OTC is OK for my situation.
You are welcome. Some of the hearing aid sales people can be very pushy. Make sure you DO NOT get hearing aids if you feel like you are being pressured. It should be relaxing and you should be able to ask whatever questions you want. OTC aids can work if you have a mild to moderate loss. And if they don't work or you don't like them, take them back. I'm working on a video that will tell you what to look for in an OTC Hearing Aid. 2 good places to get OTC are best buy and amazon. Both places have a great return policy. Start there.
@@HearingClub An exam says mild to moderate in part of the high range. The audiologist said I can't do OTC but I've done research that disagrees so I ordered Jabra 200 with 100 day trial. I don't trust that particular audiologist but won't hold it against the profession. I feel confident after learning from you about test results plus the generous return policy.
That really helped a lot. I was wondering if you will be able to make a video explaining how to tell what type of hearing disorder when given the audiogram
So one thing about this channel is I'm not a Dr or audiologist. I try to stay in my own lane and disorders are out of my scope. The only thing I'm allowed to say is whether or not your audiogram indicates a SNHL, a conductive loss or a mixed loss.
If your audiogram indicates a conductive loss, we refer you to an ent or specialist so they can find out if you have a disorder or condition.
Wonderful explanation! Thank you so much! I will print out the illustration chart and show my parents. My Dad and my Mom do hear me, but sometimes they reply to me strangely. I always wonder if it's cognition issues coming with aging. Now I think it's probably more a matter of "Can you pass that dish" turns into "We don't have any fish" problem.😝😅 Thank you very much again. ❤
I'm so happy you found this helpful! Please feel free to ask any questions.
Thank You so much for this excellent explanation! I've been wearing hearing aids for about eight years and neither of the audiologists took the time to explain this to me. Last week I went to the VA to have a hearing evaluation and the audiologist there gave me some of this information. Turns out my hearing loss is now in the moderate to severe level. She suggested i use hearing aids with the custom molded ear plug so that's what we're going to try.
i love custom molds. Let us know how you make out.
Does the hearing loss is progressive over the time?
@@dinushathenaturalsapphirec881 -- my hearing loss has gotten worse over time. I hope it doesn't continue getting worse.
@@HearingClub -- I've been using the custom mold with behind the ear hearing aids for about two months now. They do allow more amplification at the higher frequencies so that does help.
The Starkey hearing aids have a noise and wind reduction settings for the programmed gain profiles. I would have thought the noise and wind reduction techniques/algorithms would work to cancel out or reduce the noise and wind being picked up but instead it reduces the volume for all frequencies. As an example, if I'm driving in the car, with the windows closed, the road noise is enough that the volume drops down an I cannot hear the radio at all. I would have to increase the volume of the radio to a intense level to the point I would be better off without these hearing aids.
For now I have been using a program selection that minimizes the noise and wind reduction algorithms.
I´m Brasilian and searching some help in order to buy an OTC hearing Aid. You video is very importante and is not a common one. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Good simple explanation..I couldn't hear the 2 and 8 khz sounds at all. But I knew that allready.
yep, unfortunately this is hearing loss.
@@HearingClub I had my first hearing test at 7 years old. Now 50 years later my audiogram looks like a waterfall. It's all in my family (mum, brothers & sisters).
Excellent explanation. Thank you. Getting tested in two days. Are you still happy with your Jabra 20 choice?
well, i have the jabra enhance 10's. I'm using one of our viewer's Enhance Pro 20's for the review. But yes, i really like them and if i had the money, i would purchase the EP 20's.
Brian great job of explaining the graphs. Tank you. Just kidding thank you very much.
Very welcome!
I'm not just hard of hearing, I have vaccine-induced nerve deafness. I hear 250hz (L/R) 20/15. It drops to 50/35 at 500hz, then 70/75 at 1K to 2K, then 100/100 at 4K to 8K.
I've been through two disasters where the fitter thinks he could flatten the line, which phenomenally raises the amplitude so high that it overwhelms anything that I could have otherwise heard unassisted.
Is there a model where I, the user, can adjust the level of assist at each frequency band as if I were compensating the music by sliding the buttons on my equalizer?
Yes! There is and im currently working on a. ENTIRE series on how to program your own hearing aids. The philips 9040. You can get the software, it's available to the public. Videos will be out as soon as I can my friend.
Please explain CROS aids for those severe hearing loss in one ear.
One real hearing aid in the ear that still works, one fake hearing aid with a microphone on the side of the dead ear. The microphone on the fake, dead side picks up sound from that side and sends it to the ear that still hears.
Thanks. At 6000 hz, I have a 110 dB loss. I have custom ear molds.
Nice!
I am within normal hearing range... The doctor had sent me for audiometry suspecting sudden unilateral hearing loss.. But the results came back as both ear within normal range with the left ear slightly weaker than right ( within normal range )... Right ear all the plots are between 0-10 and left ear lower frequency around 10 and higher frequency between 10 and below 20..Doctor said it's fine and steroids and antibiotics should do... Audiometrist said I should follow up after 3-6 months.
awesome!
Do you have any video about hearing testing on manual audiometer please give a link thanks
What you mean manual? this video is about free hearing test online. You can go to Costco or somewhere to get hearing tested done by a professional.
Dear sir , can you tell me if I heard 4K frequency with 25 db then it’s abnormal ?
I'm sorry I don't understand. If you can hear 4k @25dB, this is in the normal range but borderline.
why are some letters higher or lower in the decibel axis? If I whisper "j" and shout "f", shouldn't F be higher than J in the decibel axis?
Y not try using the same amplitude/sound level
thats a great question. Some letters, by nature just have a higher or lower intensity. This would be a good question for a physicist or somebody that really understands the physics of sound. I am not that person.
