- What are the dangers of Over The Counter Hearing (OTC) hearing aids and why? What are the prescriptive amounts inside of OTC aids? Who can get them? Why did the FDA not send you at least to any hearing care professional to know what your hearing is? What is "Perceived Mild to Moderate Hearing Loss" mean? Who benefits from telling you to get OTC hearing aids?

Most people including myself, can’t afford the $4-7K for prescriptive hearing aids. Our country has a bifurcated group of hearing-impaired people, differentiated by wealth. OTC hearing aids are not perfect but they are MUCH better than nothing. Perhaps the availability of lower-cost alternatives, albeit flawed, will help the medical hearing industry streamline and optimize the prescriptive hearing improvement process.
I completely hear your point. But understand what the deal is. Hearing aids range from 2500-7000 for a set. That's too high for a bunch of people. OTCs range from 1000-2000 for a set. THAT is STILL too high. That isn't the answer when they don't even TOUCH a Moderate to Severe hearing loss. It's like putting my reading glasses on to try to drive when I can't see the signs on the road...won't work!
If they REALLY want to make a possibility then OTCs need to cost 500-700 per PAIR of aids and have more ability to help people. But they are TOO greedy. I don't even do OTCs because they can't help anyone but the mildest of hearing losses. Those people do NOT want hearing aids yet. Do you see the problem?
Mild hearing losses with too much price STILL don't help those who are NEEDY for help. I have personally done massive things for patients in my clinic to help them...out of my own pocket. But I will tell you something that is about to happen...
There's a topic called NESARA that is a gold backed currency coming to the world. It will irrevocably change ALL PRICING worldwide on all types of products of every kind. When the value of the money is there, prices fall. When you have a worthless currency such as the Fiat and MASSIVE points of inflation, prices go UP. That's why basic goods and housing is so out of sight. The Fed is dying. Once that occurs, you will see that switchover, then we will see people AFFORD real hearing aids at a price that they CAN DO for their hearing loss.
It's something I talk about on another channel.
Hello sir
Thank you very much for your excellent vedio it is very important for me as a severe hearing loss patient with tinnitus and weak speech recognition So I should be grateful if you help me to gain a suitable hearing aid from USA ( such as Starkey Vivo AI or any ...) because as you know this version It isn't available in EGYPT
I know for a FACT that there are fitted hearing aids that you can get in Egypt instead of trying OTC hearing aids that are only useable for a VERY few people. Go see an Audiologist in your town. See what can be done. Why? If you have a severe hearing loss, an OTC WILL NOT work for you. I do not know which one will work for you since I don't know the true extent of your hearing loss. How can a physician diagnose one without all the blood work, diagnostics in from of him or her? That's why you need to see that person.
Hello sir,
I’ve been watching your videos and are very helpful in my process.I just wanted to ask if you can make a video about speech audiometry ,explain more in detail because it’s not very clear to me.Thank you and hopefully you’ll make me understand!Have a nice day 😊

Here is one.
Thank you !😊
What level receiver would you use for a flat moderate loss? I have had the standard in the past, now just got medium power in my new devices,.. is it normal that they feel super strong? Am I supposed to have a medium power receiver for a moderate loss?
On flat, moderates I put 50dB gains for that.
@@HearingSolutionCtr what does that mean? I’m so confused.. im just referring to the level of the receiver that’s supposed to be used. Would that be the standard or the medium?
@@kaylasmusic Depends on the manufacturer. Ask what they mean.
@@HearingSolutionCtr For most manufacturers, what would be the case?.. Im just confused what you meant by the 50db gain
@@kaylasmusic for 50dB means moderate. I believe it's incumbent for Audiologists to pick the Matrix for patients. Most Audios don't pick the Matrix and let the Manufacturer do so by a crappy greyed out graph that is HORRIBLE. That's the shittiest way of doing it. I am an old school way of making sure my patient gets the appropriate amp she needs to get the gain required. So I go inside those needs. That's why I hate OTC because they are horrid at understanding gain.
Are you still doing this? Are you on Tiktok?? I see this post is 7 months old. Nothing current. Are you still posting?
I am but not much anymore.
@HearingSolutionCtr I asked about Tiktok because recently you started following me there.🤣 I had a feeling someone is using your name.
@@Tony-dr9fd There are a LOT of accounts trying to scam people on TikTok using his name and face. It's a crypto scam
Hi!
There a bunch of TikTok accounts using your name and face to scam people. Are you aware of this?
There are TONS of people faking me. Nothing I can do about it.
