I could not agree more!!! I am an audiometrist in Australia, and I get so frustrated with other hearing care professionals that tell customer that one program is all you ever need. It's so untrue, no matter what you spend. Programs give you control over what is going on in your ears!! It's so important to give your clients the option of this.
So the restaurant mode speech focus zone can be set to narrow, similar to the front focus mode but they are different. The microphones and directionally algorithms working behind the scenes are definitely more front focused in the front focus mode. They may seem the same but they are not.
Thank you Brian...my Costco tells me; we only have 3 programs, All-Around, Hear in Noise and Music. But sadly, the only one I could use; is the All-Around. But even there it, causes "squeegees" all the time...Unless, I take the volume all the way to number 1! I am so sorry, but that's what I have. My Hearing Aid is the "Jabra pro 20". And, I'm very against it now. And thinking about taking it back. And trying, the latest "Phillips 9040". That you bragged about recently. But, if it's worse than the Jabra; Costco will NOT give me the Jabra back,. And I think that's criminal. Damn them! But, I love your videos kind Sir. For you are the best! Now... I have a medical "Hyperacusis" that some old people! So, there may be NO way, I can get it right. Oh well. May Jesus have mercy...and thank you again Brian. AMEN
My pleasure sir. Keep this in mind. Then hearing aids will NEVER return your hearing 100%. It won't sound perfectly natural. There will be weird noises and sometimes tinny or hollow sound, some high pitch sounds will be annoying. This is all normal with hearing aids. Sometimes we can make adjustments to help take the edge off but it's not just the jabras, they all do this. Good brands bad brands. It's going to be weird. You have to get used to it and keep wearing it. Some people just can't wear hearing aids. Some people can. Good luxk
My Costco person didn’t tell me that Rexton has an Enhance Music mode. (I only found out by surfing the Internet.) She gave me only the Automatic and Noisy/Restaurant modes.
Yes they do, three different music enhance mode options. They are as follows; listening with speakers, listening at a live venue, and playing an instrument.
Thank you so much Brian. I have watched several of your video's and the information you give is outstanding and covers everything someone who's thinking of getting a hearing aid needs to know.
I find your videos very helpful and informative. I went to Costco and ordered the new Jabra EnhancePro 10 mini, and I can’t wait for it come in. I have already downloaded the app and I am learning about it in demo mode. Your videos are a great reinforcement by explaining the how and why of each feature. Thanks for the help…
Regarding the Easyline app, when I make adjustments to a setting, restaurant for example, and then save it, does that create an additional setting or does it modify the "factory" restaurant setting?
it depends. Sometimes it lets you just "Update" the existing program but sometimes it requires you to make a new "custom" program. But the nice thing is, once you make a new custom program, which you should, anytime you make additional changes, you will then have the option to "update" that custom program without having to create a whole new one.
My hearing specialist at Costco in Concord, Ca said that my Jabra does not have restaurant or any other program on the app. She said that the all-around which will do the adjustment automatically. Did she give me an old hearing aid? Is she correct?
Oh my lord. That is not correct. All Rx hearing aids have programs. They must be added by your fitter. Programs have been around for YEARS. even if it was an older jabra, it would still have programs!
@@HearingClub she said that the All-Around and the Hear In Sound programs which I do have automatically adjusts the sound and I don’t need the other program. I was so confused that instead of arguing with her, I would ask you. I asked to demo the Phillips to try out the AI, but she said I would only be able to adjust a couple of things. Kind of what you said in your review before the new program came out.
I will try another person to see if they all say that there are no programs. Even my over the counter hearing aid had programs. Can I ask for another person? I have gone to this woman 3 times.
Hey Brian. Just found your videos. Great stuff! Still working my way through them…but would love to know more about the Jabra App too. Got the 20s last week and other than teething problems (feedback and “crackling” on sounds like running water) - which I’ll address at follow up - I like them so far. Will add your customized sound cone idea too. But knowing more about the app would be great…I’m kinda confused about the “Noise Reduction” option in the Sound Enhancer…what does it actually do? Cheers!
What do you do when you have someone that tells you you don’t need those presets turned on but you’re asking him to do that? And he still telling you you don’t need it.
Well that's a really awkward situation and I would ask for someone else that is willing to listen to you. Half the battle with hearing aids is finding someone that will actually listen to you wants and needs. Not everyone does that. Just like a doctor. When you have a doctor that doesn't listen to you and you get that feeling that its not the right fit, you find a different doctor.
@@HearingClub this a Costco specialist.I need to find another store or force the issue. I’ve had hearing aids before I know how this stuff works for the most part.
No there’s no extra charge if you get extra programs or download the app. No charge when you go to Costco to get services done such as follow ups, adjustments, clean & check or hearing test/retest. Only paying for hearing aids and accessories and out of warranty repairs.

Yes! Give them as many tools as you can.
The Restaurant mode is more useful than the Focus mode in that the Restaurant mode can also be turned into the Focus mode.
So the restaurant mode speech focus zone can be set to narrow, similar to the front focus mode but they are different. The microphones and directionally algorithms working behind the scenes are definitely more front focused in the front focus mode. They may seem the same but they are not.
Will you do a segment on the Philips 9040? Love your information.
Yes we sure will!

@@HearingClub ❤
@HearingClub have you tried Widex Moments at all? Curious how they may compare with the Jabra 20s.
My Costco person didn’t tell me that Rexton has an Enhance Music mode. (I only found out by surfing the Internet.) She gave me only the Automatic and Noisy/Restaurant modes.
Yes they do, three different music enhance mode options. They are as follows; listening with speakers, listening at a live venue, and playing an instrument.

that makes me so happy! Thank you for the feedback Pauli!

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for following us and supporting us! Let us know what you think once you get them!
Dude I’m fixing to buy please do an update on Rexton
Thank you. I am exploring my Phillips 9040 hearing aids.
Awesome! Let us know how everything goes.
I have a Jabra and if I am in a meeting with people on 3 sides the Restaurant mode works best. It seems to be the opposite of what it should be.
What do you mean?
@@HearingClub I would think that Restaurant would block out sounds except the person sitting right across from me.
Great videos but, I've never seen a video that explains how to stream the Jabra Enhance Pro 10 mini from my laptop (not an Apple).
I'm not sure you can
@@HearingClub Can if be done through the TV Streamer+ ?
Regarding the Easyline app, when I make adjustments to a setting, restaurant for example, and then save it, does that create an additional setting or does it modify the "factory" restaurant setting?

@@HearingClub Thanks!
1:38 PM. What Costco hearing aids have a restaurant program?
Restaurant just means noise, a noisy area with background noise. Pretty much all hearing aids have a noise (restaurant) program. They all do
That's exactly what I needed to know. Thank you.
Can you please let us know when the Jabra enhance Pro 20 become available in the ITE full shell custom version?!
I sure will.
My Costco tech wouldn’t let me add the optional modes. He said I had to get used to the all around mode first.
That’s very strange. That’s bizarre
@@HearingClub yeah-I’m going to go back in a month and insist they be unlocked.
Costco no longer gives out loaner hearing aids corporate took it away

What program are available for the Rexton Bicore R-Li 20?
I’m don’t know all of them right this second but noise, tv, outdoor etc…
Can you do a video on the jabra pro 20 app ? I have one favorite I want to delete how can I do this ?
Ya I’ll work on a video tonight

Is there an extra charge to download these programs to a hearing aid when you buy it from like Costco?
