these digital hearing aids are almost
0:01
invisible let's check them
0:10
out Dave Taylor here and I want to talk
0:12
about hearing loss did you know over 15%
0:16
of adults over 20 years old have some
0:18
level of hearing loss by the time you're
0:21
55 10% of people have measurable hearing
0:24
loss and if you're 75 or older 50% of
0:28
you have some hearing loss historically
0:30
the solution has been really expensive
0:33
hearing aids but as of October
0:36
2022 the Federal Drug Administration
0:40
actually gave overthe counter approval
0:43
for other companies to sell hearing
0:45
enhancement hearing aids and for us to
0:48
be able to just buy them directly what a
0:51
huge Boon what a dramatic lowering in
0:53
the price of giving you back that bit of
0:56
extra hearing that bit of extra audio
0:59
clarity so you can actually get through
1:01
your day and actually understand people
1:03
and know what's going on now what I'm
1:06
looking at today is these are the vivone
1:09
super mini B cic hearing aids let me
1:13
pull one out here so you can see they
1:16
are tiny they slip completely in your
1:19
ear there's nothing behind your ear you
1:22
don't have to fuss with an app on your
1:24
phone or anything like that and I said
1:27
cic what that means is that they're
1:29
completely in your ear canal so there's
1:32
nothing else so they're really amazingly
1:35
invisible and no doct visit required you
1:39
can get these they come I'll show you in
1:41
a second with a bunch of different ear
1:43
tips and such so you get to the right
1:46
size for your ear canal you put them in
1:49
and then they have five levels of volume
1:52
that you can actually adjust with a tiny
1:54
button on the end of this unit in fact
1:56
let's have a closeup so you can see on
1:58
the very end there is that button that
2:00
lets you adjust volume and it also
2:03
because it is actually a digital hearing
2:06
aid it lets you adjust to standard or
2:09
noise reduction mode it's a 16 channel
2:12
Digital Signal processor so there's a
2:15
lot of smarts in this little tiny device
2:18
and if you're in a noisy environment
2:19
like on an airplane or on a bus then you
2:24
can actually just reach in and just tap
2:27
it takes a little bit of practice to get
2:29
to be able to push that button correctly
2:31
but you can literally just lower all the
2:34
background noise what a joy honestly so
2:38
no doctor visit required like I said and
2:41
in the box that comes with it let's
2:44
actually open it up and have a look they
2:45
include quite a lot you really are not
2:48
going to need to get anything else once
2:50
you acquire this so let's see what else
2:53
we have in here so we
2:58
have four different different sizes of
3:00
ear tips we have an ear wax cleaning
3:05
device we have another cleaning device
3:09
and we have a charging cable because
3:12
just like apple airpods and similar it
3:15
looks like it's just earbuds and these
3:18
with the charging case will give you 80
3:21
hours of listening that's pretty
3:23
impressive and when it needs a charge
3:25
you just plug in that USBC cable usba on
3:29
the other end just plug it in and you
3:31
could even just hook this up to your
3:33
computer if you need to charge it or
3:34
something and once it's fully charged
3:37
the light on the front changes and
3:39
you're good to go for another 80 hours
3:41
so very impressive now as you saw in
3:45
that close up there are those three
3:48
little dots for charging and all you
3:51
have to do is it's super easy you just
3:54
put them in so that those three dots are
3:57
lined up with the three dots in the case
4:00
and I just did it so I can take it out
4:02
and show you again so you just put it in
4:05
and there's a magnet there so it just
4:07
falls and gets into exactly the right
4:09
position and now the lights are showing
4:11
you that they're charging and then when
4:14
you want to wear one what they recommend
4:17
is hold it by the little tiny wire they
4:21
call it a shank make sure that's at the
4:24
top and then just slide it gently in
4:27
your ear and adjust it as
4:31
needed and I'm good to go so now the
4:34
experience of me having this in is that
4:38
all of the frequencies at normal talking
4:41
volume and like human voice those are
4:45
Amplified so I can even hear myself
4:48
talking a little better if I was in a
4:50
noisy environment or even just sitting
4:52
talking to a friend I would hear them
4:55
better so it's really a pretty
4:57
remarkable um sort of change if you're
5:00
used to just coping and just you know
5:02
sort of pretending you don't have
5:04
hearing loss but constantly saying
5:06
excuse me can you speak up a little bit
5:08
and when you're ready to take them out
5:10
you just grab that little tiny handle
5:12
and take it out and then handle down you
5:16
put it back in the case and it charges
5:18
and you're ready for the next time you
5:20
need them obviously you're going to wear
5:22
both most likely but that's really it
5:25
it's really easy to work with and my
5:28
experience with them is that they're
5:30
really actually pretty nice I actually
5:33
probably have some level of measurable
5:35
hearing loss I tend to ignore it and in
5:38
really loud environments you know
5:40
sometimes I just can't really hear the
5:41
person talking to me and as many people
5:45
know you just sort of gloss over it and
5:47
you're like I got most of the words I
5:49
can probably figure out what you're
5:50
talking about or occasionally you'll be
5:52
like excuse me or can you speak a little
5:54
louder please but honestly solving the
5:57
problem yourself is a little bit more
5:59
more elegant and that's exactly what
6:01
these let you do so really lots to like
6:05
here if you're suffering from hearing
6:07
loss and you're just ignoring the
6:09
situation because you figure yeah you
6:11
know you can't hear as well as you used
6:13
to but that's just life that's just
6:15
getting old there are solutions and
6:18
there are over-the-counter solutions
6:20
that you can just order directly from
6:22
these companies and they have guarantees
6:25
so you can try it for a couple of weeks
6:26
and if it's not working for you then
6:29
that's cool send it back get a refund
6:31
but absolutely worth trying it and if
6:34
you're having any hearing issues then it
6:37
is really a remarkable change so
6:40
definitely worth checking out now we do
6:43
need to talk price because they are a
6:45
little spendy but before we get there
