I just saw an ad for something new and I'd like to get your opinion on that. Not sure if it's FDA approved or not because I can't get any information about that for this particular product. Its the SonoPro Tinnitus Ear Laser Therapy Ear Plug. It's supposed to use something called photo biostimulation which is a type of low level laser therapy treatment that supposed to alter your brain chemistry by decreasing your perception of Tinnitus. The ad was also saying that the source of tinnitus is in the cochlea. I'm not sure any of this information is true or if something like this would actually work. I supposed to stimulate the small hairs that are inside of the ear canal and reduce inflammation and in some way reduce your tinnitus. Have you heard of this particular product and do you know if something like this would actually work? Or could something like this be a waste of money or could it actually be harmful? My tinnitus is only in one ear and it is caused by a tumor called an acoustic neuroma. So I'm wondering if this type of a product would work for anyone and also if it would work for me. It was advertised on Facebook. I figured I would ask you since you are an audiologist and maybe you know something about something like this.

[@mariocutajar3833]

But what about sound ? Which one is the best performance hearing ? Thanks for sharing .

[@boomerrangerron]

Hi Cliff, you are the best KZbin hearing aid reviewer by far! I only regret that I don't live in Phoenix so I could become a patient! I've recently taken a part-time job at Bass Pro Sports in the Marine Department selling boats and ATVs. The problem I'm having is that they want me to wear a communications radio and I currently wear RIC aids (Phonak Paradise 50s). Can I get by with one of the new SONY C 10s to replace my RIC and then wear the earpiece? I'm seeing an audiologist next Friday, and I'm hoping to get by with just one CIC hopefully in my right ear, and keeping the RIC Phonak in my left ear. Would love your opinion if this is a durable solution! Congratulations on hitting 300 K subs!

[@kaylasmusic]

I have just got the Evolv AI IIC from starkey, the 2000 I believe (the causual technology level).. i have a moderate hearing loss.. I switched out from the phonak lyric because the lyric ones didn’t work out for me for a couple different reasons.. 1) they really bothered me with the moisture feeling and the soreness.. and they also kept dying and i had to keep getting them replaced almost weekly or every 2 weeks.. my ent also said they weren’t so good for my ears because it can be bad if moisture gets trapped in them so I switched to the others and i find that the hearing aids work suupperr well, and really help me hear, although i keep getting a static quality a lot and getting quite a lot of feedback with them.. especially when it comes to singing.. i only just got them the other day so I’m seeing how they hold up and when i see my audiologist back in a couple weeks im sure he’ll be able to fix that, although do you have any ideas in the meantime?

[@sreejaroy6442]

Is it TOtally invisible which u brought and using right now?🤔

[@richdiorio3650]

How do you like the Evolve? Do they work well in noisy environments ?

[@kaylasmusic]

@@richdiorio3650 I don't have those anymore,.. I have Widex moment Sheer RIC now,. I did not like the sound quality of the starkeys. I would not recommend them. I switched to the Receiver in canals after trying the RIC last year because of the sound quality I was getting with the IICs, and I like those so much better, especially with Widex, they're amazing for musicians so I went with those

[@ddmit2010]

Dear dr. Cliff, Thank you for the content, it really does help. May I ask, which device did you find more comfortable/seamless to wear - Oticon Own IIC or Phonac Virto Paradise Titanium IIC? Best wishes, Dimitar

[@diegoalexandre-garcia7561]

I have the phonak Virto titanium and in me it’s not completely invisible as there is a gray color visible. You think the oticon IIC or the starkey one could be more invisible, from your experience? I’m looking for the more invisible one

[@richdiorio3650]

Hi Doctor Cliff: Love your videos. I know cic hearing aides aren't as good as behind the ear for noisy environments but which of these would be best for that? How well does the Lyric perform compared to the other 3 on this video? It seems to me that the Lyric is so small and imbedded so deep that it would not perform as well as the other 3. Thanks

[@mmarjisr]

I would like to get the in ear hearing aids, but they don't have the technology that the behind ear hearing aids so I rather wait for the technology to catch up in ear hearing aids that the behind the ear hearing aids have. But I always enjoy your videos to make it easier to see what's out there for new hearing aids

[@richardbrown8681]

Do you need to be aware of metal detectors or magnetic fields, ie mri?

[@janesmer807]

thank you for all info regarding the options for an invisible hearing aid. It gives me something to think about. Now I have to research which of these options would be cost effective for me.

[@richardgrotz8089]

Looking at various options for hearing aids. From anyone's experience, would a custom fit eg oticon Own vs ready to wear (eg Signia Silk) typically be more comfortable as an IIC option?

[@samurai88x]

Thanks Dr. Cliff If someone has severe hearing loss on one side and moderate hearing loss on the other, can they still use these IIC options? In other words, can different settings be applied on each side of all these IIC models? Thank you.

Not surprised to see the virto paradise IIC in the top 3

[@ciaokk]

For those who have the Oticon Own 1---and if you had issues with 'ear canal pressure' when chewing with them in place--how long did it take to accommodate to that feeling and you didn't 'feel' it anymore? Dr. Cliff--have you any thought on this? Others?

[@samerabdallah82]

I had an issue with Oticon Own when wearing them. They need to fit in the right way and sometimes almost fall out. I have both Phonak Virto and Oticon Own for 60 days trial. Phonak Virto has been my favorite so far.

[@billligon4005]

Thanks for all the good information. Looking for a hearing-aid device for my partner. I do wish you could take a breadth and tone it down a bit - just talk to me.

[@Morph7344]

Nice video. I have a question concerning the Phonak Lyric hearing aid. Can you fly and scuba dive with this hearing aid?

[@larryagrapides9790]

Enjoyed your 2023 rendition as well. As I previously mentioned, I have been a Lyric subscribed for 5 years and LOVE them! However, they are VERY sensitive to moisture, so I CANNOT shower with them in my ears, having to remove them each time I shower. Although I have become somewhat adept at removing them and reinserting them after showering, I am unable to insert them with the same skill and precision as my audiologist does, making them less effective. Also, since the subscription price has risen from $3000 to $3600 per year, I'm now compelled to look for a comparable IIC that I can purchase rather that a subscription, preferably with rechargable batteries but replacement batteries would also be ok. Both the Oticon and Phonk Virto sound like logical alternative choices. Which of the two would you recommend to replace my Lyrics? Also, could you give me an idea of costs, or at least cost ranges? Thanks for your informative and entertaining videos! Larry Agrapides

[@ciaokk]

I recently received the Oticon own 1 aids, but find them very uncomfortable in the ear canal; when I chew -- I am constantly reminded of their presence. Why is this occurring? I have never worn hearing aids before, so it is all new to me. Great videos' by the way.

[@schweppes59]

I'm 64 with congenital hearing loss & have worn cic HAs since the age of 6. You will get used to the aids in your ear & your ear canal/s will accommodate them over time. At first, they're uncomfortable when chewing etc, but everything works out in the end. If for some reason they don't, go back to your audiologist & get them to refit you.

[@TheGconrad]

Until I saw this video yesterday I had never heard of the Lyric device. I wonder why none of my hearing professionals have never mentioned it in the six years since I had some hearing loss in on year?

[@schmactor]

Is it true that RIC's are significantly better in aiding hearing than IIC's can be? Forget all the technological "extras" like bluetooth, I'm mainly concerned with the most basic function of hearing the world and specifically speech in the best way possible. Thanks Doc!

[@DrCliffAuD]

As always, the answer to your question depends on your unique hearing loss. Sometimes the answer is yes, sometimes it is no.

Wait a minute, Phonak can texturize the shell for the Vitro B!? Maaannnnnnn, wish I knew this when I got these. I have a weird ear canal, had like 3 different molds done and they still drop out. Usually I'll just have to push them in every so often...but as a med student soon to start a surgical rotation, this won't be an option. Also, how long should I wait from upgrading from the Vitro B (got them in 2017/2018)?

[@DrCliffAuD]

I tell people 5-7 years. Since the Virto Paradise Titanium is out, I would do the upgrade either now, or wait 12-16 months to see if there is a Virto Lumity Titanium release.

Speech in noise is also an issue on widex. I think is maybe the "new" technology and the brands think they are the best but they dont listen to all the users.

[@a.w.thompson4001]

Cam, I'm so sorry for your hearing loss. My Dad needed hearing aids in middle age after being in the artillery in WW II. I have hearing loss due to a hereditary condition. I had fit issues and other aids were too big, so I used the Lyric for years. It's fabulous because the experience is closest to not wearing a hearing aid, but it's also expensive. However, the cost included having my audiologist examine my ear every two months when they replaced the Lyric and test my hearing annually, which is safer and saved money. Also, there are no battery, tool, or replacement part costs. If it stops working they replace it at no charge, and it's not vulnerable to being damaged or lost like a hearing aid you take out. I perspire a lot, enjoy outdoor sports in all weather, and bathe and occasionally swim with no damage. I broke a prior hearing aid by going in water up to my ankles and having a freak wave splash into my ear, so I'm pretty sure I'd break a different hearing aid before wearing it out. The Eargo 6 is discrete and cheaper, but they come as a pair and I only need one. It can be found cheaper if resold, but then you don't get support or a single warranty replacement for low cost, and I'm concerned about breaking or losing it. It requires at least $160 in replacement filters and ear tips per year, and requires daily cleaning. It is water-resistant, but should be removed before showering, etc. It is rechargable, and the non-replaceable battery lasts roughly 2 years. I hope these thoughts are helpful.
