What if the reason you dislike hearing aids has nothing to do with your hearing loss… and everything to do with the WAY sound is processed? In this video, I explore a brand new concept called “sound preference” and why two people with the exact same hearing loss can have completely different reactions to the same hearing aid technology. This may explain why: • Some people instantly love their hearing aids • Others struggle for months • Many patients quit wearing them altogether I’ll show you: The fascinating new WSA sound preference tool Why some hearing aids “feel” better than others The emotional side of hearing Why traditional hearing aid fitting may be missing something important How this could improve hearing aid success rates dramatically As someone who runs one of the UK’s largest independent hearing clinics and fits technology from every major manufacturer, this genuinely challenged the way I think about audiology. Whether you wear hearing aids already, are considering them for the first time, or work in audiology yourself, this is a conversation worth hearing. __________________ Buy Hearing Tech: Best behind-the-ear hearing aids for DIYers: Elehear Beyond OTC Hearing Aids: https://hearingtrack.com/elehear-beyond-yt Lexie B2 Plus (powered by Bose) OTC Hearing Aids: https://hearingtrack.com/lexie-yt Lexie B2 (powered by Bose) OTC Hearing Aids: https://www.hearingtrack.com/bose-yt Audicus OTC hearing Aids: https://www.hearingtrack.com/audicus-yt Best in-the-ear hearing aids for DIYers: Eargo SE OTC Hearing Aids: https://hearingtrack.com/eargo-se-yt Eargo Link OTC Hearing Aids: https://hearingtrack.com/eargo-link-yt Sony CRE-C10 OTC Hearing Aids: https://www.hearingtrack.com/best-buy-c10-yt Sony CRE-E10 OTC Hearing Aids: https://https://hearingtrack.com/sony-e10-yt Jabra Enhance Plus OTC Hearing Aids: https://www.hearingtrack.com/enhance-plus-yt Best invisible hearing aids for DIYers: Eargo 7 OTC Hearing Aids: https://www.hearingtrack.com/eargo-7-yt Eargo 7 OTC Free Sample: https://www.hearingtrack.com/eargo-free-sample-yt Eargo 6 OTC Hearing Aids: https://www.hearingtrack.com/eargo-6-yt Eargo SE OTC Hearing Aids: https://hearingtrack.com/eargo-se-yt Eargo Link OTC Hearing Aids: https://hearingtrack.com/eargo-link-yt Best earplugs for concerts: Loop Earplugs: https://www.hearingtrack.com/loop-yt (Affiliate Links) __________________ Chapters: 0:00 The Sound Test 0:39 The New Hearing Aid Tool 1:22 Why Patients Reject Hearing Aids 2:32 The Theory That Changes Everything 3:23 The Emotional Side of Hearing 4:01 What Is “Sound Preference”? 4:50 The 5-Minute Test Explained 5:34 The Limitations 5:54 The Surprising Research Results 6:16 Why Some Hearing Aids Feel Wrong 6:50 Have We Been Thinking About Hearing Wrong? 7:26 Why This Could Improve Hearing Aid Fittings 8:07 Will This Replace Audiologists? 8:41 How To Discover Your Sound Preference ____________________ Matthew Allsop is the Video Content Manager at Hearingtracker.com.
