Letting you know I saw my 4th hearing aid specialist 2 days ago. But he was in your Hearing Up network. Well worth the 100 mile round trip drive. He was heads and shoulders above the other 3 combined and I ordered my first ever hearing aids from him.

[@TimStruckmeier]

I am looking forward to my very first ever hearing test at age 77 next month. I’ve been preparing by watching tons of your KZbin videos, Dr. Cliff. Thanks! You’re awesome!

[@DrCliffAuD]

Glad to help Tim!!! Sounds like you'll be well prepared!

[@healthyhearingloss9953]

I love that you share and explain the sponsors on your show. As a person with hearing loss for about 50 years, I can't tell you how nice it is to hear from audiologists in this way. Super cool! Thank you, keep up the great work.

[@DrCliffAuD]

Thanks!

[@cherylcurry7663]

Thank you Dr. Cliff!

[@anthonycermenaro1173]

Really appreciate your hard work and effort with your information that you are providing. Understanding and learning about Hearing issues and hearings aids is very difficult. Your channel provides a great source of learning. Thank you.

[@GaryNichols50]

Good to see it finally get off the ground. Good video, Cliff & Rachel. And great beginning of what I am sure will be many more to come.

[@kevinburke6446]

Off the ground, congratulations. I look forward to more episodes of the Live Show.

[@iluvj50]

Hi Guys, Thanks for the new show. I'd like to request an episode devoted to the symptomatic differences in hearing loss from SSHL versus Presbycusis and/or loud noise exposure.

[@bates1951]

Good start Dr. Cliff! Very informative and looks like this could help those of us that have hearing problems.

[@DrCliffAuD]

Still working on Closed Captions! Please be patient with me!!!

[@SkipperDon]

Patience we've got! In the meantime, auto-generated subtitles are available on KZbin.

[@fltribes]

So glad that your doing a podcast, and that your practice is really doing great. Never feel guilty about it (success) or spending equal time with your family. 🥰🇺🇸❤️ Be well my brother.

[@TimStruckmeier]

Thanks!

[@DrCliffAuD]

You're the best!

[@timmcculloch8650]

Thank you Dr Cliff. I enjoyed your premier and as always your show was very informative! Thanks 😊

[@terriannolson8923]

Hi, Dr. Rachael! Looking forward to meeting you next time we come to Phoenix to visit Cliff and Ashley. 👋

[@jt_rooster3228]

Great lively introduction man. Keep up your years of dedication.

[@georgemilburn7834]

Dr. Cliff, Thank you for all the information you provide. I began my attempts to correct my hearing loss with an OTC set of HAs, but they weren't helping me. When I discovered your KZbin channel, I began to understand that I needed a god Audiolist. I'm now seeing Dr. Jeff Olson (any kin?) and am now hearing much better.

[@DrCliffAuD]

Not relation, but LOVE Jeff!

[@motioner9102]

Great start! Since this is the very first show it’s important to give constructive feedback. 1. You should move the sign behind Dr Cook. She is blocking a portion of the sign. 2. Sound is good but lighting needs some work. Too dim, especially when isolating on Dr Cliff. Looking forward to many more shows with lots of in-depth discussion.

[@darrelstewart3002]

A lot of good information to digest. Thanks

[@sfrink1425]

I love the set. This reminds me of a new morning show. A bit weird with the voiceover at the beginning ("10 seconds..."). I'd ditch that. The topic of differences between hearing professionals is excellent, and tied in well with the Hearing Up provider programs since both audiologists and hearing instrument specialists can follow best practices. Loved seeing Dawn Heiman as your first guest. She's an amazing provider and we enjoy her "Hearing Wellness Journey" program for aural rehabilitation. Definitely "The Greatest."

[@DrCliffAuD]

The countdown was an error. It will get fixed. Thanks for your support!

[@WaynoGur]

Woo hoo! Thanks for the captioning!

[@arnecarlsson9740]

Great premiere show. I kind of know Dr. Cliff from KZbin and Dr. Rachel was fantastic. You are a great team. You need to have the microphones better sound dampened from the table or Dr. Cliff needs thick wool gloves when hitting the table! 😇

[@DrCliffAuD]

Lol, totally agree!

[@SkipperDon]

Great show and thanks for all your efforts to educate the public about hearing loss and its treatment. I have a question: I've been wearing hearing aids for many years, since my early 40's and I'm not 65. I've been through several pairs of hearing aids, first provided by Tricare as I was on active duty, and then purchased by me as I was working and living abroad. I'm going to return to the US soon and am planning to get into the VA health system and request hearing care through them. Since Dr. Cook is clearly familiar with how the VA works, I thought I'd ask: do VA hearing clinics follow Best Practices as you describe and advocate? If not, can a VA beneficiary who requests REM get referred to an outside clinic and have their care paid for, at least in part, by the VA? For my part, having functioning hearing aids has been crucial to my being able to relate to others in social situations, but I sense that I'm not getting maximum benefit from them and I would like to try Best Practices to get the most out of my hearing aids. Thanks in advance and bless you for all you do!

[@albertopinheiro6386]

Hey, Dr. Cliff! What do you think about the notch fature in the signia hearing aids? Does it really work?

[@velmamilagros]

Me pregunto: Ahora que tienes anuncios, seras objetivo a la hora de comentar, comparar, sugerir, o lo que sea, respecto a estos que se anuncian en tu LIVE? Yo opino que no. Una de las cosas que me agradan de tus posts, es que no tienen anuncios, ademas de tu amplio conocimiento del tema,. por ende, mensionas repetidas veces que puedes decir lo que sea los pro y los contra de esos productos porque es tu opinion , tu modo de ver las cosas por tu expertiz atraves de tu experiencia por el tiempo, LO CUAL ME AGRADA!

[@pagzplay]

An Audiologist is a Guy who Tests my Hearing all the time and let's me know that I need Oticon Exceed Ultrapower hearing aids now and shows me a Sample of them and cleans out my Ears and gets really close to me when he wants to talk to me so I can read lips and wants to know is this okay and can you understand me now? And he points at stuff a lot to help me understand what they are doing there or if he needs to leave and come back again so he does a lot for me when I am there.

[@frankzurn2351]

What best water proof aides?

[@DrCliffAuD]

The Phonak Audeo Life Hearing Aids

[@bigapple134]

Informative! But we hear thuds and noises and directions from the guy who is handling the video/audio…now that’s annoying!

[@DrCliffAuD]

Sorry, we'll get that sorted out before episode 2.

[@lancelotkamaka2563]

Does AI really work for hearing aids or is it just hype?

[@richa.s9912]

No A1 only works with very well done Bar-B-Que steak 🥩 and A1 sauce taste good with hamburger 🍔 also .But I don't think 🤔 A1 sauce taste good with hearing Aides because it would be very bad for your stomach unless you want to hear your own stomach rumbling inside the stomach.

[@DrCliffAuD]

Yes, Ai is legit.
