Got a hearing test done at Miracle Ears this morning and these were the results. Should I really get hearing aids? They did put a pair on me to test out and it was noticably different but the prices are insane. Do I really need them? Could my hearing continue to get worse like the Doc mentioned?

Thanks everyone!

I have high frequency hearing loss. First diagnosed about 15 years ago, at age 30+. It's mostly stable now. I am not bothered by it normally except for my drum lesson I found I couldn't hear the highhat sound in recordings. Recently I realized I am struggling to hear people during happy hour and lunch when there are a lot of background noises. This start impacting my career. I wonder if spending on a pair of hearing aid would actually help with that. It could also be because English is not my first language, so I am not very sure it's the language issue or hearing issue. I also want to know if hearing aids from costco would be sufficient or I need more expensive ones.

Hi everyone!

I've been trying to get ear molds for my hearing aids for a couple of months now but they keep getting sent to me in an usable state. My husband is frustrated for me and wants to try making some for me.

Has anyone on here had any success making their own ear molds? Specifically acrylic but I'm so willing to try whatever at this point lol

Thank you in advance!

I am posting this for my partner. He is mostly deaf in one ear and has low hearing in the other. The Costco hearing aids haven't worked for him at all. Any recommendations of what he should look at? He is anxious to see if anyone has a good recommendation.

I have purchased my last 2 sets of Hearing Aids from COSTCO and up till now have not had any issues, however my present Philips 9040s are now just out of warranty and my right side HD is DEAD. I went to my Costco yesterday to ask questions and we noticed I have 2 HAs with a blue dot. I have to admit I have never looked at the dots only the direction that the wire goes. So my question is. Have I been wearing 2 lefts for 3 1/2 years and is that a problem? I think it's test and I failed.

I am struggling with only one side working. What a pain. Watching the HAs blink 2 times- then again-in charger.

So im in kind of a pickle here. I got out of the marines almost 4 years ago. I did 8 years, and got out pretty decent hearing loss. Over time it has slowly gotten worse to the point my wife can be sitting next to me on my left side talking and I cant really hear much of it. To the VA I never surpassed the threshold to rate hearing aids, well this last appointment I had I finally met the requirements to get said hearing aids. The issue is the lady told me (and so have other vets that have done this process) that it could be up to a year if not longer to finally get them. So in the meantime what are some readily decent OTC hearing aids I can get to hold me over.

Hello, I have Phonak Audéo Sphere 90 hearing aids and a remote control. The remote is from 2022, and I am unable to pair it. When I attempt to reset it to factory settings, the indicator light turns red instead of green. What can I do, or is it perhaps incompatible with the new Sphere models? I don’t have an appointment with my audiologist until next year (he has just undergone a major surgery).

I use Phonak Bluetooth rechargeable hearing aids and the little thing into the charge port broke into pieces and now I can’t charge my hearing aids. Any suggestions on what to do? I already texted my audiologist and hoping I can come in tomorrow to get a new one but if not any suggestions?

Would increasing low-frequency gain on my hearing aids help me hear speech and softer background sounds better?

My main issue is with hearing sounds like air conditioning as well as speech.

If you’ve tried this adjustment for the same issue, please share your experience!

Ok my latest hearing aids are blue tooth which is great. But I have one odd issue. So I've paired my hearing aids with the phone, the laptop and the TV. Sometimes I want to listen to the TV in which case I make sure the TV Bluetooth is on. Other times I just want background noise so I don't switch on the TV Bluetooth.

When I've finished with the TV, I *have* to return to main menu and wait a moment before I switch off the TV. If I don't do this, I continue to receive the TV sound even though the TV is switched off. Tonight, the TV Bluetooth was off. I wasn't listening to the TV. I switched the TV off and suddenly I have the TV sounds playing on my hearing aids. Even though both the TV Bluetooth and TV are both off.

Any advice or explanation on this one please?​​

I have Lucid hearing aids less than 1 year old, still in warranty, has anyone having any luck having the store manager replace these with whatever brands they offer now? Or can we only depend on the class action suits for reimbursement?

So My grandpa has hearing difficulties and needs assistance hearing conversations clearly he tried some hearing aids but didn’t like it so we tried a set up with a wireless mic and live listen but he isn’t comfortable with the apple interface he prefers his android. Can someone suggest a good software/ app for android that we can use for live audio broadcast to a connected Bluetooth device? Or any other suggestions regrading a new setup?!
(Ps he does have hearing aids he simply doesn’t like using them)

I'm a first time hearing aid user and I've been prescribed the Resound Sensia 9 for one ear that has declined hearing loss. I have good word recognition and mild to moderate hearing loss with most of the decline in the higher frequencies.

From what I understand, I'm not going to get all the benefits of the HA because I'm not using two aids together. For instance, these aids tout 4 directional beam microphones, two in each HA. They apparently work in tandem to optimize the best sound quality, especially in noisy environments. But because I only use one, the sound quality is a little tinny and lacking fullness.

My audiologist recommended we try a custom ear mold to help with sound quality, especially speech in noise situations and when streaming. I'm currently using a tulip dome. Have any of you single sided HA users switched over to a custom mold and if so, was it worth it?
