Began 2 weeks ago wearing hearing… Began 2 weeks ago wearing hearing aides. Heard horror stories about being in a group or loud noises in a room. Watched a friend adjust in disgust her HA. Last night different friend adjusted his HA as noise was irritating him. Both instances, I was great. No adjustments needed. Yes!!! Starkey !

Plastic earmolds are like rocks in your ears First time hearing aid user (3 months). Hearing loss is mild to moderate in high ranges. Luckily I can get by with using the domes (earbuds) only because the hard plastic earmolds are like putting rocks in your ears. I will never wear them! Hearing aid specialist even ground them down some, but they are too uncomfortable to wear. Need a better material than hard plastic.

Some improvements & differences from my previous hearing aids The edge mode is very nice & I’ve been using it. I also love the recharging battery, which is different than my previous hearing aid. Although making adjustments through the iPhone is very convenient on this model, I miss being able to adjust the sound UP & DOWN (2 buttons on the ear piece, instead of one.). It now has to go through all of the settings every time I need to adjust the sound, instead of just hitting either button.

Bluetooth connectivity is spotty even… Bluetooth connectivity is spotty even with the new Samsung Galaxy S23 Ultra. No notification of messages or phone calls are announced in the hearing aids. Placing the phone in a pants pocket effectively disconnects the Bluetooth. Still can't connect them via Bluetooth to other devices, such as the 2022 Sony TV we just bought.

Loser Livio model I have the Livio model. Works great till you go to a humid environment. I live in south Louisiana, so that means anywhere other than your living room! Can't wear outside because sweat will make them turn off. Dehumidifiers help very little! I'm on 3rd or 4th pair and right now the right one works about 10% of the time. I do have to give credit where credit is due, the tinitus technology works pretty good. Would I buy Starkey hearing aids again? Not no but HECK NO!!!!!
