  6. I am in need of a hearing aid–one ear is worse than the other–moderate loss, i believe.
    I am concentrating on completely in the ear type–betwen Emrace and Audicus–since cost is also an issue.
    Which is best of the two.
    thank you.

  9. Thank you. I'm amazed there's still only 1 rechargeable ITE that has bluetooth. I feel w/o recharging capabilities, the whole maintenance every few days for battery changes is a no starter starter for me… I bought some Eargo's a couple years ago… they worked ok but did not have bluetooth and literally stopped recharging right after warranty. There's no repairs, just replacements at discounted rates… that's their plan I believe, expect to replace them every 2 years… now I just picked up a pair of Ceretone JHW2 as a stop gap something for when I go out… believe it or not, earbuds (they are big) seem more acceptable than seeing a BTE unit based on the stigmatism of being a senior… at less than $500, will give it a run till I plan for another set of multi thousand $ units… hopefully more rechargeable ITE options for 2022.

  11. Great video! I just picked up a new pair of Phonak Virto Titanium M70 devices and I do not like them and I am going to return them ASAP as Phonak gives you 60 days to try these.

    The most significant issue I have is the severe occlusion as it sounds like I am speaking in a barrel. The Vent hole looks nothing like the device in this video as the vent hole on my devices is smaller that the speaker port hole.

    Then the device from time to time keep adjusting themselves increasing volume then back to neutral.

    Also, when I am chewing it is very loud to myself and the last, these appear to be CIC and not IIC like my Starkey Sound Lens S IIC series I am replacing as these are over 5 years old.

    Maybe because these M70's are too big.

    As I have very small ear canals the M70's seem to be too far away from my ear drum and the vent is way to small.

    Anyone having the same issues with their Phonak M7o or M90 devices?

    Thanks and keep these great videos coming.

  15. Do Lyric fittings require a mold to be taken? Can you fit and install Lyric in a patient's ear, all on the same day/same appointment, or do you have to see the patient more than once (not counting follow-up verification/adjustment visits)?

  16. Who is NOT compatible with Lyric? For example, can someone with a pacemaker, heart monitor, or other battery powered devices use Lyric? Is there anyone who should not use Lyric? Thank you.

  17. I live at the beach. What would happen if I dove in the pool/ocean with my Lyric hearing aid in my ear (obviously not on purpose)? Is there any physical danger? Would it cause me pain? Would it cause an ear ache? Would it ruin the device? Thank you,

  21. I need to take my dad in for his hearing loss. He doesn't want to go bc he's had several hearing aids that didn't work or were lost or broke or something happened. I need someone who is as interested in solving problems as your are. How do I find the right person to help. I will search your channel on how. Thanks.

  22. Hey, Doctor Cliff, I have thinking two things: 1) Can you just debunk the myth hearing loss is only affect old people depending on their age and how it affect them differently ? I say this because I have 23 yea old and I was born with hearing loss and I see some people believe this . 2.) Which hearing aid of in – the-ear canals hearing aids and receiver-in-canal hearing aids sounds more naturally and organic?

  25. Not sure if you answer questions….I am deaf in my right ear due to minerals decease many years ago. I have tried the phonic cross over but found it overwhelmed my left ear. Since I only hear in one ear is there availability and pricing for one aid?

  27. I've been wearing the Lyric since 2011. It's definitely true that nobody will know you are wearing a hearing aid, but the cost is what will get you. They are $1,750-2,250 for each ear depending where you go and that is also only the price PER YEAR. It's a subscription device but I will say that I believe the sound is much more natural than any digital hearing aid out there.
    Also, if your traveling and the devices die, you pretty screwed unless you have back ups. This has happened to me multiple times traveling internationally. Because they aren't exactly quick to remove and put back in, I for the most part haven't gotten into a pool or an ocean since 2011. I'm still a Lyric user, 10 years strong.

    I have Resound and also Phonak hearing aids and would like to know if the Resound TV Streamer that works for ReSound, Beltone, and Cochlear hearing aids will also work with my Phonak aids; they both have low-Energy Bluetooth?

  33. Dr. Cliff. First, I feel like you are not being totally upfront with me. You are saying that…..other than BELLTONE…….I can choose any hearing aid company that I want. Go to them, be assessed, and choose from the many brands that they carry. Meaning that ALL companies carry the SAME brands. Say company A carries 5 brands of aids. Around the corner Company B also sells those same 5 brands. And on and on. Everyone is connected with eachother. Everyone except BELLTONE, that is. BELLTONE is a private company that makes one brand…….maybe one brand that has a lower model, a medium model, and a higher priced model. Other than that, they offer no other. Now, all of those other companies out there……they carry different BRANDS, showing me that they are tied into eachother, making money with eachother, because waaaaaay up at the very top of this, one giant company owns all of those smaller hearing aid companies. And BELLTONE is all on its own while the Big Boys just grind away at BELLTONE……..until one day they run that very old company out of business.

  36. Okay, after your comment, I decided to watch your video. Will you please give me YOUR opinion of the Number One ……..only IN the ear and not behind it……….hearing aid. Several years ago I tried the Phonak. Didn’t last long with ME due to my tinnitus plus everything sounding like I was in a deep well.
