frequencies that you are missing, hearing-wise, and adjust accordingly. Occasionally, you would have to go back in and recalibrate.

However, feedback, both verbal/human, and other feedback (cars, etc. in the background) have always been a problem.

But guessing these are mega $. 😏

appropriate.

Not only makes it difficult to hear, but distorts sounds.

Starkey is one of the giants responsible for keeping the prices of hearing aids so high.

Someday, and I hope that day is not very far off, Starkey and company will face serious competition from upstarts not beholden to corporate earnings and dividends.

I never expect to be able to afford anyrhing health-related, tbh. Seems to be reserved for those quite well to do.

I hope you are right! 🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞

There's been some buzz about them on this board and throughout the internet so I bought a pair on sale from Costco ($205 with tax) to test against the Rexton behind-the-ear brand, also from Costco ($1900). They're not true hearing aids. But (and this is really cool) you can load your hearing test into the iOS health app and it will adjust the AirPods output accordingly. Turn on "Live Listen" and the AirPods become "hearing aids." They work pretty well. Not on par, perhaps, as a $5000 Starkey (or even the $1900 Rexton), but at a fraction of the price they're better than nothing.

Glad it works for you!

plus they're designed to be indiscreet, fitting behind and mostly inside the ear canal unlike the AirPods.

But ~$200 vs $199 is a huge factor for many people!
