Wow Nick, I have never seen a video from anyone that actually explains things from the perspective of never having used hearing aids and what to expect. Hats off to you my friend for all this insight. I'm going to check out ziphearing. I'm hoping to get some hearing aids soon. On top of losing those extremely important frequencies to perceiving the consonants I have tinnitus. Add to that I am a musician that plays live gigs and a songwriter that records in a studio and mixes them as well. A tall order for anyone especially when retired and have limited insurance coverage to pay for these. But oh sooo looking forward to hearing again all the things I have lost over the years.

Thank you for the amazing comment! I am also a musician and have spent quite some time in the studio with recording and mixing, so I know exactly what you are talking about! I would check out some of my other videos, in particular the one about the oticon intent! Spoiler alert, they sound great when listening to music! Also, head on over to the site and look into the intent! www.ziphearing.com/oticon-intent?

You mention hearing aid specialist and audiologist. I'm wondering if the services provided by a hearing aid specialist are on par with the Doctor of Audiology (AUD)? Seems like pretty much anyone can be a hearing aid specialist with some training, but to get the AUD degree requires a lot more schooling, particularly is hearing beyond hearing aids.

[@meric12131415]

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

[@Ziphearing]

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.
