Which hearing aid are you wearing? Matthew
You didn’t show the hearing level graph for the Signia’s 😞
I currently have a pair of Starkey Evolv AI and a pair of Phonak Lumitys. Both are top tier technology from the VA. I don't wear the Phonaks at all unless I'm going to hear someone speak and I can have them wear the Roger On remote microphone. They both lack in noisy environments.
I’m wearing Signia HA that are 4 1/2 years old. Loved them until Signia changed their app. They eliminated the Cafe setting, one that was most valuable to me on a daily basis than any other. I have dinner in an extremely crowded, noisy dining room every night in Senior Living. My audiologist carefully programmed each selection I could choose on the app. It seemed a miracle that I heard each person at a table for four so clearly while also unaware of clatter of both clearing of the next table or din of noise from so many voices. Socializing during the meal is an important part of each day and shouldn’t feel exhausting after struggling to hear while also having to guess what was said or questions directed at me. Signia changed their app, eliminating the most important setting I had on the app on my iPhone. Their “noisy” in no way replaced their “Cafe” setting. Otherwise I found “live music, recorded music and particularly musician” worked so well for my life.
Phonak Bolero B90-SP :)

I wear Jabra Enhance Pro 20 hearing aids. Very pleased with sound quality & improved hearing in noise program. Been wearing hearing aids since 2008.
I am curious to know where does Jabra Enhance Pro 20 fall into this category. Thank You
I recently purchased a pair of Phonak Naida Lumity L90 UP BTE hearing aids due to my hearing loss is in the severe to profound category. So far I really like them. I also purchased the Roger-On personal listening device. I really like this little device! I love the fact it streams my TV programs straight into my hearing aids and I have used it some in a public venue to aid in being able to capture someone speaking at a distance. I am getting approx. 9-11 days of battery life with the 675 button cell batteries. This includes quite a bit of TV streaming as well as watching RUclips videos. I’m truly hoping they will continue to serve my needs for many years. Thank you for your informative videos too! 👍
Great video as always, I am wearing a behind the ear device with a custom ear mould. I’m loving it. It is a Resound Danalogic AM777-DWT.
That is awesome! Thanks for sharing Kulvinder! Matthew
Interesting and informative video. Thank you.
My current Phonak Ric aids require the wearing of a separate device to connect aids to cell phone. There was also A Phonak app that could be used to adjust them. All well and good. However, my newer phone is not compatible with the app, and the newer app isn't compatible with the aids.
I just got the Widex Smart RIC, I have long term hearing loss and recently found out I also have speech recognition loss. Was wearing Resound before.
I don’t wear hearing aids but my brother wears behind the ear. I am a product designer at university and starting to do research into hearing aids for my final year project. This hopefully will give me a good start!
I listen to classical music and over the years have had the top CIC models from Starkey and now Phonak. Sadly I feel the calibre of sound is not up to the standards I would hope for and I generally take them out when playing my piano or listening to music in my car. My phonak titanium is especially irritating because it keep automatically changing programs so now the car noise is louder than the music for example, even when I put them in 'music mode". I thought of getting the Lyric but have heard they lack in bass and then I'm stuck with that deficiency. Do you recommend any brand specifically for music?
To stop it changing programs, set up the program you want and then turn off bluetooth in phone. Stops hearing aids from hunting the bluetooth all the time.
Might need to switch to a Receiver in the Ear style hearing aids so you can lock them into music mode when you are playing music.
out of the lot what is the best for a musician wanting to hear their acoustic guitar that sounds the most natural
THANK YOU 🙏🏼🙏🏼
You're so welcome! Matthew
One problem i had with other Hearing Aids I have had was i need so much Amplification to hear some sounds that everything is Amplified so I am not able to hear tones of sounds and where they are coming from and it is just sounds in my Hearing Aids that they pick up somewhere so it is not easy to identify sounds for me.
I'm a new user of hearing aids.. I have moderate hearing loss, and had Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss five months ago, so in one ear I have a reverse slope AND a "normal" "ski slope" loss of both high and low frequencies; in the other ear I have typical hearing loss of high frequencies that primarily comes with age.
I am wearing Widex Moment because I'm a classical musician, and this has a much more natural sound than the Phonak Audéo that I tried for a couple of months. I also needed a hearing aid that would allow me to balance the volume of my own singing voice with the singing voices around me. It was a huge investment, but essential to my profession. However, neither was very helpful for hearing conversation in a noisy environment.
I hope I made the right decision for the long term.
Philips HearLink 9010 miniRITE TR, waiting for the review of the 9050 to make my decision on my new hearing aids this September
Hey Shadow, watch this space. I'll have it as soon as they're officially out. Matthew
@@HearingTracker I most definitely will. I’ve narrowed it down too the Philips 9050 or the Jabra Pro 20, just need to see a comparison between the 2.
Thanks
Going to wear signia ix
I have Phonak & they work perfectly, however just diagnosed with Endolymphatic Hydrops. The tinnitus is one of my top 3 issues. Is there a hearing aid that will help?
Also, I am extremely sound sensitive during an episode & would love a volume control button.
Thanks :)

Not sure what Bluetooth my Rexton’s use but it’s not compatible with the streaming devices to connect to aircraft video streaming yet it works with my iPhone/ipad .
I currently use Rexton RX . I chose the rechargeable which is slightly larger and is sometimes uncomfortable behind one of my ears. I use closed domes and I find them near trouble free and don’t get wax into the wax guards. One thing I find important is how invisible the wire is and my previous aids wires would cut across and not follow my ear shape. The RX do a great job of that. Wind noise while driving a convertible car is a problem. I also would like to be able to adjust them from my Apple Watch . I would chose a slimmer style for comfort. I also have one program that mutes the aids which I love when using power tools or on an airplane as the streaming still works when muted . I was quite happy with a 312 battery aid as it was just once a week event.
New to the realm. Tried a couple of the Costco RICs and do not like what I perceive is a loss of directionality with the microphones behind the ear. I tried a couple of OTC in the ear and liked the operation but not the lack of a custom fit and lower level of technology. So today, I am going in to get fit for the Costco Philips Custom ITE (probably half shell). My concern is the dated technology (based on the Hearlink 9030s).
Is anyone aware of release dates for any of the newer Costco Custom ITE hearing aids? Any help (or feedback for the above) would be greatly appreciated.
Hey RicJona, the question is, why limit yourself to Costco, because there is a lot of other advanced tech out there. Matthew
@HearingTracker Thank you for your quick response. I have done custom ear molds and can't go back to one size fits many. That being written, cost. Where I live, Costco has the best price. Not even close. They are 1/2 the price of the competition and hearing aids are not covered by insurance. We are talking thousands difference in cost for Custom ITE hearing aids. So Costco it is.
I'm trying to decide what to get! My issue is the inability to understand an d less about 😮hearing
Hey Sherry, hopefully this will arm you with more infor to speak with your audiologist. Matthew
As I stream this to my Widex moments, the click sound effect it’s so much louder than everything else in the mix. I need to turn my hearing aids down to deal with that click but then it’s too low to hear your speech comfortably. Just FYI. the sound effect at the end of TikTok videos are the same way. They practically blow up my hearing aids.
Signia pure charge and go IX 5.
Tried the Resound Nexia but didn't like the tinny streaming sound (didn't even sound better with custom molds and activated "bass boost"), the M&Rie-receiver sounded bad and i found the app a bit too laborious.
My last Hearing Aids were Siemens Ultrapower and now my Audiologist had Oticon Exceeds behind the ears because they have the most Amplification possible now and are supposed to be better to hear Speech with background sounds around me.I only get one kind of Hearing Aids but he showed me with his fingers that my recievers would be a lot bigger than his Sample because I have so much Amplification. Newer Hearing Aids have more Power and Amplification possible than other Hearing Aids I had and other ones I had did not have Bluetooth to connect my phone and tv and iPad pro to my Hearing Aids so I can hear it better with just the sounds i need to hear sent to my Hearing Aids and I can Amplify it more that way.
I use receiver in canal. Phonak Paradise. About 4 years old.
Thanks for sharing! Matthew
Phonak lumity life w/custom titanium ear molds. Through the VA. An high frequency hearing loss. Might try ITC next time I need new ones. Maybe half shell. Glasses an masks with Ric aids are a pain. Bluetooth is not a deal breaker. But I figure in 3-4 years. It'll be common in all styles I believe. Took forever for any audiologist to get me custom ear molds. Personally like them so much better. Would also like a choice of crazy load colors.
RIC Signia Pure Charge & Go 7-T-IX with tulip dome.
How important is it to have an ear mold taken?
Very! but it all depends on your hearing loss. I try to fit moulds to as many as possible. Matthew
Wearing a Philips 9040 ric
I've got Phonak Audeo Lunity p90 Life.
I do as well! Love being able to connect to my computer, tablet or phone. I have tried Starkey Genesis, big disappointment in regards to BT on Android. I am evaluating the Signia, love the battery life but BT is not near as capable. Waiting to see what Phonak does for Auracast.
@@waynekosters1814 I don't connect mine to the TV, I use an Avantree Orbit Pro with Aftershotz Open Comme headset. Much better than TV connect. My aids are connected only to my Zfold5 cell.
I wear an RIC style, the Oticon Intent.
Thanks for sharing Andrea! Brand new aid! I hope you’re doing well. Matthew
Where do I find these tables? I can't find them.
Hey Zenster? Yes they're impossible to find. Try screenshotting the vid... Matthew
I might be looking for replacement HAs, but my criteria has advanced to a) hearing my wife speak from tje other room and b) hear my own voice when I sing in a group.
I have a behind the ear hearing aid but find it difficult to make it subtle as I am bald so cannot match my hair.
I am therefore intrigued by the thin models
Thanks for sharing CPG! Hopefully your audiologist will be able to run through the details of Widex, Signia and Phonak with you. Matthew
I now have BTE Phonak Naida Lumity's
Thanks! Matthew

I watched the video and in my opinion it was very biased towards the Phonak brand. Was there any sponsorship from this brand?
Hey Jurigos, thanks for reaching out. I can confirm that there were no sponsors for this vid. Each manufacturer was compared for their individual tech, for you guys watching to come to your own conclusions as to which is the best tech for you. I hope this helps. Matthew
Cochlear implants are becoming more available. I would like information about CI compatibility with hearing instruments for those of us who do well bimodally. Each CI manufacturer has chosen a HA brand to work with and develop compatibility with. However, many CI recipients find that the compatible HA does not work as well for them as another brand does. Many audiologists have very little experience working with bimodal patients. Many CI recipients do not live in areas where an audiologist with CI experience practices. I hope that somehow, some day compatibility will expand to include different hearing aid brands, and that more audiologists will recognize the value of bimodality and get training on how to work with bimodal patients.
Hi,
you are very good and the video is beautiful and comprehensive. But I would like to advise you to be more unbiased. Knowing Starkey, Phonak, and Oticon well, I can assure you that on several occasions you said some things that were not completely right, or you omitted to say some things.
Hey Marco, thanks for the feedback. I’d love for you to expand. Matthew
Widex 440. RIC. Custom molds.

Thanks! Matthew
Receiver in Canal.
SO disappointing that ActiveVent and Motion Sensors are not included in disposable battery aids.
Also WHY would a company release only 312 battery aids and not 13 battery aids?? You get double the life without much change in size from the 13 size.

Genesis 2400 ric.
What you could do Matthew--if you could--is to recommend the manufacturers to give us the ability to exchange (with a % credit) our current model for the newest and latest. That way, we would love to upgrade to the latest models available. Costco would be the first one I could think of to try this approach to selling new models. Apple is already doing it with their phones-- a great idea to be more in tune with our needs and our dear earth's needs too!
I wish I knew how to strike through text like that...
... to make comments harder to read? Matthew
Not at all for your channel my young friend. Just to know how to do it...

🤣🤣🤣 Who knows, if you make a hearing aid it may make the list! Thanks for commenting, Matthew
@@HearingTracker We seem to recall taking the #2 spot on your OTC list 😉
Correct! ‘OTC’ 😊😊😊 You’ve got some great tech - more videos to come on it!
😂

After having watched this, I am so totally confused and suspicious that these hearing aid companies like it that way so they can charge the max amount of money. Your video actually put me off taking the next step with my audiologist for hearing aids.
Strange. I'd love to know how it can be broken down to make more sense for future vids? Matthew

I am affected by hyperacusis. The very loud sound of a champagne cork popping at the exact point you were naming the various aids, not only hurt my ears, but also obscured the word you were saying, so I've stopped the video to save my mind.
Hey Sven I'm sorry to hear that. This is my first video with an editor and I fully appreciate your feedback. I'll pass it along. Matthew
OMG! I thought I was the only one. Definitely was a pain. Tried adjusting the volume but it didn’t help much. My eyes shut tight almost every time from that frustrating pop!
@@iona1984 Ironic, isn't it, that loud noises be intolerable, when one is hard of hearing. I find it the same, so have the aids limiter set to help minimise loud noises.
Will you be my boyfriend ? 🩵
Sorry hun - he’s already got one ❤
