So at 39 years outdated I received listening to aids!!! And they’re superior!!!
Hear me speak about my determination to get listening to aids to assist handle my tinnitus and readability in listening to dialog and the various surprising advantages that I’ve discovered from having listening to aids.
That is my first each vlog so be light 😀
My listening to help make an mannequin: Oticon Synergy
I’ve the smaller mannequin which has a small plastic tube spherical into my ear. I even have an open cup to the half that goes in my ear, it’s because I can hear many frequencies, it is largely the excessive finish that I’ve some loss in.
Charlotte’s movies that led to me getting listening to aids:

Great video 👍
How about Bluetooth. Do you have this option?
Thx for this video ! I have moderate loss of bass on my right side + tinitus . My right ear sounds like a busted speaker and because I waited over 10 years , my left side is now compromised as well. I was felling disappointed about having to get hearing aids , but after watching this video, it gave me a different perspective about it! Thx a bunch!
I have moderately serve high frequency hearing loss and mild tinnitus in my left ear with normal hearing on my right. Suffered NIHL from my service in the British Army, it’s tough but seeing other people dealing with it gives me hope. I have a Amplifon hearing aid which I’m very happy with 🕊🦾🇬🇧
Great video and really inspiring. I too went to a well-known pharmacy for a test. Also offered me a £3500 deal. Went to the NHS. I'm waiting for them to arrive and I am so looking forward to being more relaxed, more aware and (hopefully) decades of tinnitus might reduce. Thanks.
Got my tinnitus from guns in the service in nam. Ringing is off the charts but lived with it. For 56 years just got free hearing aids at he V.A.. still there but not as bad. They do make Maskers which is a whshing sound. Similar to white noise👍😎
Headphones and profiles… I had the same problem with mine, so the last time I saw my audiologist for my annual checkup, I had her add a new profile to the hearing aids that turn the volume on one side down the exact amount I normally do to put on headphones, so I can just switch to that profile when I put the headphones on. (I do have the more expensive type that allows me to switch the profiles.)
Interesting to know that you have to pay so much for hearing aids, even with your NHS. That sounds like what I paid for my hearing aids here in the US. OK, you just talked about the NHS bit.
How does music sound? I have a slight notch at 6,000?
Dude! Nice video. I am in exactly in the same boat with high end loss and tinnitus (sledding accident… tree unmoved). I'm currently evaluating a pair of Widex EVOKE 440 with narrow-band white noise tinnitus suppression which kinda-sorta works, but not really. I am intrigued by your comments about not hearing it at all (at least on one side)… PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE tell me exactly what HA you're using and what tinnitus suppression program that is working so well for you. Thanks

what model are you using? i'm thinking of getting some soon.
I know the feeling i have put up wit titinus for about 20 plus years . I am finally getting hearing aids the same ones as yours
Thanks for sharing your story, and comments.
I am 40, and been wearing them since July 2017, and yes it is scary at first, but I will never look back.
Thank you for an EXCELLENT explanation of hearing loss and hearing aid improvements. I began losing some hearing in 2008, and got ONE hearing aid. That was easy. But as time moved on, I had more hearing loss and also began to lose hearing in my other ear. I have seen so much improvement in hearing aids since then, its amazing. But I am in the US and have to pay for everything. AMAZINGLY, I am now seeing prices begin to decline. I agree that this really changes your life. I still have problems in a setting like a restaurant, and sometimes I hear the OTHER people better than the people I am dining with. Some of this I attribute to my age. I am 73. Thanks so much for taking the time for this explanation, it was well done.
Hello sir it’s Jon thanks for sharing your awesome story
You inspire me today I’m in the process of getting hearing aids soon I don’t feel better about it now thanks for your sorry 😐
I have trouble understanding people when there far away but when I’m talking to someone up close I can understand them fine. I also have a lot of trouble understanding what is being said on the tv. Did a hearing aid help you hear better? I think I have high frequency hearing loss. Did it also help you understand the tv. I also struggle to understand people on speaker phone.
Glad I came across this video 🖤 looking into hearing aids I developed T when I was 14 and I did ok all these years I’m 32 now this year I had an MRA and idk what happened but it developed horrible T on my left ear that was my good ear and like you said o want to do something about it! I’m excited I have really good insurance
I'm 33 and getting hearing aids tomorrow. I finally had to give in to it.
Yea I developed tinnitus when I was 28. I’ll never forget the day the ringing never went away. 😥 now I have two pairs of hearing aids
Mike, thank you so much for taking the time to share your experiences. We seem to have trodden a similar hearing path except I have my first fitting for aids this afternoon. Very encouraging….the tinnitus, the headphones for music production, the filtering of the sounds and more, that you want to hear, all adding up to a far better quality of life for you. I will be approaching this afternoon’s appointment more positively now after listening to you and look forward to having the week of acclimatisation behind me. Very pleased for you. Best wishes, Jim
Thank you for sharing, Matt. I’m 55 and need hearing aids and it’s great to see how well this has gone and how discrete they sit behind the ear. Your video really helped me get over my concerns (visibility, wearing glasses etc). Thanks again!
Thanks for posting. It's surprising how many folks our age have hearing loss and tinnitus. Your video gave me the confidence to try hearing aids on the NHS. I'm currently enjoying hearing better and have a bit of white noise for good measure. They've made enough of a difference for me not to want to take them out, despite my reluctance. I'm not sure I'd be as brave as you to post here, but thanks for this vid.
Thank you for sharing this information Mike, my wife needs aids but Boots did the hearing test and they said that they recommend hearing aids that cost £1500 for each ear and that is out of the question for us, we are pensioners. What was the cost that you had to pay the NHS, those that you have will be the ones that she would choose but only if we can afford them.
Thanks for this video. I have had hearing loss for most of my 49 years, and I am FINALLY getting my aids in 5 days. Very nervous / excited / anxious about the whole process. Also trying not to expect an instant miracle cure. The nurse at my fitting said that the hearing aid can sync to a high end phone and a "smart TV" so that the sound will go directly to my new aids, but my phone isn't good enough for that. So right now I'm not sure how a phone conversation will work. But I am looking forward to learning. And thanks for the advice about headphones. Right now I have "on the ear" headphones, but now I am thinking of saving up for a nice pair of "over the ear" phones.
Whats your hearing loss? Mild/moderate?
The information in this video is so important!! Thank you for sharing this with us Mike!! Keep sharing and encouraging others to do the same!
I had the same experience with tinnitus as you had, when I got my first pair of hearing aids. I can still hear my tinnitus, especially in my right ear, but the sound is so much easier to handle with hearing aids than without them. 🙂
