If you have experience with invisible hearing aids, please briefly share your experience. What brand, pros and cons of different ones you've tried and what would your advice be to a new wearer?

I have very mild hearing loss and I wear Audien Atom hearing aids. I like them a lot. Comfortable and I forget I have them on. I own two different versions of the Atom and I like the inexpensive Atom One the best b/c the other Atom 2 version has buttons on them I find those inconvenient to adjust plus I really don't need adjusting. I just need a bit more volume with speech clarity which the Atom One provides nicely for me.

ETA-

With every brand of hearing aid there's some maintenance required such as replacing the ear buds and the wax guards. Whichever brand that you decide to get I recommend that you buy genuine brand replacement parts b/c sometimes generic parts will affect the sound quality and make it not so good.

My hubby prefers the in your ear type hearing aids and prefers adjusting the volume manually not digitally. How do you adjust the volume control on the Atom One Hearing Aids? TIA.

The Atom One has these tiny dials on them where you can turn them with the little screwdriver that is included with purchase. Once the dials are set then they don't move so whenever you touch the hearing aids then the settings stay the same until you adjust them again. With the Atom 2 there are buttons to push and those can be unintentially pushed just by touching them which I did not like about them.

@SilleeMee - He purchased the Audien Atom Pro 2 awhile back and had to return because he could not deal with the digital settings and got flustered trying to keep re-setting.

I think the Atom One is more suitable for him that he can adjust with the screwdriver. As always, appreciate your assistance.

I might ...moving forward. I just had my yearly physical and am being referred to audiology.

Its been a few years of having ear problems like infectuions and such.

I sense my left ear if not 100%

Do those little antennas sticking out get caught in hair or anything? I can only imagine losing them because of that.

That'll be the day I have hearing aids with that antenna sticking out. Everytime I see that ad I have to laugh.

I purchased the Aiden 1 a while back and it did not work for me. My hearing in my left ear is next to nothing. My right ear has so so hearing loss. I returned them.

It's really not 'funny' as my dad has hearing loss, he's had many types of hearing aids, anything to help him 'hear'.

Unfortunately, one pair fell out not to be found, once he got in the shower with them in and ruined them and once he fell so hard he crushed one....ambulance, hospital visit, staples in his head and stitches in his ear.

Sometimes you have to give up your vanity to keep your sanity to be able to 'hear'.
