Absolutely not. There are many reasons, but the main one is that I am ACTUALLY hard of hearing. Meaning, the first thing I do when I wake up is put my hearing aids in (it’s the aids or my glasses…but both go on even before I get out of bed), and the last thing I do before sleeping is take off my hearing aids (and glasses, LOL). I wear my aids for 18-20 hrs per day. I am not looking for fancy ear buds, I just want to hear like a normal person. I thought that DTC movement would help people like me (i.e. young adults in America without amazing health insurance) afford hearing aids better. But it looks like it’s just allowing companies that make listening devices exploit a new market. 😞
@@sovrappensiero1 We just published a new episode of our podcast which discusses this very thing! The best DTC companies employ licensed practitioners to help customers remotely, but even then, they have limited ability to diagnose problems, and limited ways to fix problems that are identified. However, we believe that things will gradually improve as technology improves. We'll see where it's all headed!
Thank you for the great review! Does it have a possibility to be in transparency mode but kick in ANC when there is an external noise above certain dB level? It is especially important that it also works with impulse noise
I am quite confused about what should I get for my father, I live in India & its is really confusing because the price range is like 10,000 rs to 10,00,000 rs (INR), talking to professionals here feels like talking to a salesman. They ask you to go for the best which is costly obviously but can not judge what is suitable for my dad or what will fulfill the need.
I'm currently in the fact finding stage at the moment - I have NHS phonak's which have to me worse audio than the 1980's army HF radios which got me into this mess in the first place and I managed two days of wearing them so I'm looking at these or the nuheara's as a viable alternative - any thoughts please?
Hey Matt, thanks for your comments. It’s not an easy process acclimatising you a new set of hearing aids, so it’s worth sticking with the NHS aids and seeing how you get along. You can see my full thoughts on the olive pros and whether I think they’ll help you in the review.
Have had these for a few months now and they are completely useless as hearing aids. I have tried them in all kinds of situation and they provide little to no aid. I have tried endless combinations in the settings etc and ultimately they are completely useless! In fact I would say that in fact they make my hearing worse to the point that I have to turn volumes up louder when I have then in than I do with out them!!! Don’t waste your money!!! Not even that great as ear buds! Extremely disappointed to say the least👎🏻👎🏻two thumbs down!

These are junk - bought 3 sets - gave away 2 - even the smallest eartip doesn't provide a tight fit - tilt your head a couple of times and one or both may fall out. Waste of money - hope the giftees like theirs.

Do you think that these could replace your hearing aids?
Yes! Do you think more people with hearing loss will buy traditional hearing aids with the price from 2000 USD to 6000 USD?

@@jerometinay9044 He’s right. We will. Because if we want to hear all day, we have no choice.

Cool.. got a Rexton RIC hearing aid for my dad today. Hope he have a good experience with it.
Thank you for your video Matthew!!
Do these have microphone too? I was wondering if they can be used for my classes on iPad 🤔
Hey Chris. Yes they do, so can be used as a completely handsfree set up. Thanks for watching, Matthew

Thanks for watching Chris and for sharing your experience! I hope that you find something that helps with your hearing.
Will you share the degree of your hearing loss? I'm at a point where I have hard time understanding what is being said.

Thanks. I seems I may be just behind you in the hearing department.
