Hey there! That is a really tough question for me to answer because I don't share the same experience as you and I am not a hearing professional. I wish i could give you a better answer, I truly do. However, i can certainly give this piece of advice... ZipHearing has a risk-free trial and you could make use of it if you wanted to try the Intent before purchasing. Head over to the site to check it out! www.ziphearing.com/oticon-intent?

Hi there! Thanks for the great suggestion! I will certainly have to look into that and see what can be done. Be sure to subscribe! kzbin.info?sub_confirmaton=1

@@Ziphearing Thanks. I’m 68 and am on the edge of needing a HA. I’ve had 2 hearing tests (year apart) and feel I’d benefit from one. These 2 catch my attention for their cutting edge technology. Thanks

I have not made a video about that...yet. However, there is a very good chance that topic is currently on our list of videos to make in the near future! Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss out on it! kzbin.info?sub_confirmaton=1

I am sorry to hear that you are having issues with your hearing aids! I wish I could test all of these hearing aids in a long-term setting, but that would take months or years to do. I wear these hearing aids for anywhere from 3-4 weeks and then do the videos. Thank you for sharing your experience and for tuning into the channel!

That is a really good question! I cannot say for sure, but i like to think that these companies have to balance on a fine line with the features in their apps. They don't want to make them too complicated or involved for the less tech-capable consumer, but also want to provide enough features for the more tech-savvy people as well.

Thanks for watching and thank you for the comment! I would strongly suggest that you take those issues and share them with your audiologist or hearing specialist. This is something that can be fine-tuned and adjusted by the audiologist! Getting your hearing aids to their peak performance is journey and will probably require a few visits, but the journey is well worth it!

That was one of the biggest drawbacks I had with Oticon, they are Apple fixated, makes me think they are owned by Apple. The other thing I hated about them was when I was sitting quietly reading a book, it was making a sound like someone was either at the front door or inside the house by the front door.. Granted this is one of my dogs favorite places to lay, buy every time I heard it which was a lot, he was never there, he was laying outside in the backyard.

The Intent are compatible with ASHA-compatible android phones, and the list is pretty long! Thanks for watching and asking a great question! Head on over to the site and check out the specs on the new Intent! www.ziphearing.com/oticon-intent?

I have not used them while riding a bike, but the ability to minimize wind noise is fantastic on the Oticon Intent, so I would imagine it would be a great experience! Head on over to the site to see the other features of the Oticon Intent! www.ziphearing.com/oticon-intent?

@@Ziphearing What's view on Starkey Genesis AI vs Oticon Intent ?

It wasn’t out at the time this video was made.

The length of time between charges can vary depending on what you are doing while using the hearing aids. If you are doing a lot of streaming from the phone, expect less battery life. However, if you are not doing much streaming of audio, then the battery life will be significantly longer! In my experience with the Lumity, i get far more than 16 hours of regular use between charges. Lithium Ion batteries do need to be replaced at some point, most users may need to have the batteries replaced at least once for the lifetime of the hearing aids. Thanks for the comment and be sure to check out the site for more info on battery life and usage! www.ziphearing.com/phonak-audeo-lumity?

Hey there! Having the whole device in the ear canal certainly has benefits, and the lack of discomfort behind the ear is one of them! Be sure to head on over to the website to check out the signature series and maybe even place an order! www.ziphearing.com/starkey-signature-series?

Absolutely! When I find myself in a situation where I cannot use the hearing aids (swimming, sleeping, etc) I like to know that they are protected in a case! Also, I have a very curious dog who likes to see how new things taste, so I would not want him to lick or bite my hearing aids when I am, temporarily, not using them. Thanks for watching and commenting!

The bluetooth and connectivity benefits of the lumity were the ultimate deciding factor in my decision! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment, we really appreciate it! Be sure to subscribe if you have not done so already! kzbin.info?sub_confirmaton=1

Thank you for the kind words and the great comment! Our general "rule of thumb" is to look into upgrading if the new model is 2 generations newer. So, I think you may benefit from at least checking the Intent out! As always, keep in mind that ZipHearing has risk-free trials!

I am so glad to hear you are doing some research before jumping into a new hearing aid! I think you will be amazed at the battery life on the genesis AI. Most likely, you wont even have to think about charging them during your lunch time, these should have no problem providing hearing assistance for the entire day! Feel free to go watch our review video and find out more! kzbin.info/www/bejne/iIKmqoaJlNFnn7s

@Ziphearing Good morning! Thank you kindly for taking the time to answer my question. Do you know if there is a remote option like the Picasso has the Surflink mobile? I understand that the Genesis AI uses the phone app, but I use my remote quite a lot for various setups. Reading the Starkey website, I'm not seeing a remote option. Thank you again.

@prdubi I am fairly certain there is a remote that would suit your needs! Go check the link below to find it on the ZipHearing website! Scroll down to the "apps and accessories" portion. www.ziphearing.com/starkey-genesis-ai?

These particular Lumity's are a rechargeable battery! The lumity are one of my favorite hearing aids available! Head on over to the site to get more info about them! www.ziphearing.com/?

@@Ziphearing I'm a subscriber and actually bought my Oticon Intent 1 from y'all. It was an easy and pleasant process. Needless to say, I made sure to do a lot of research about this aid and then jumped right in.

Love to hear that! Thanks for the support!

That is a really good point! It certainly seems like I misspoke when I said "any", I really should have said "any Mac with an M-series chip". Thank you for the great input, I will try not to make the same error again!

That depends so there's a slight difference between the two so a hearing aid specialist programs your hearing aids and a few other things an audiologist by trade runs the hearing tests

There is certainly a distinction between an Audiologist and a Hearing Specialist. The Audiologist will be able to perform hearing examinations and diagnose a hearing loss. The hearing specialist is more focused on fitting and programming hearing aid technologies. With training, knowledge, and experience a hearing specialist will be able to provide a level of expertise and service that will be identical to an audiologist. Both will use the same computer programs, and devices to tune your hearing aids for your specific situation.

Thanks for leaving a comment! Let's dive into these questions! 1. Congrats on the new hearing aids! Welcome to the club! 2. Yes, these hearing are very new to the market and are already extremely popular! 3. No, I did not get the microphone or the tv adaptor. You will probably not need the microphone, but you can always revisit this if you feel the need to. The TV adaptor is actually really cool! I have used them with other devices and thoroughly enjoyed them! 4. Your hearing will not get worse from using hearing aids. I just made a video describing some of the things to expect when getting new hearing aids, and I directly address this concern, go check it out! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pKWxdGWkaad3f8k?
