Premium Hearing Aids: Auto Programs vs Noise in 2025 (real audio)

In my experience as an audiologist, the top priority for most people with hearing loss is to follow conversations clearly in background noise — and to have that technology work seamlessly, without any extra effort. Modern hearing aids aim to deliver exactly that, using automatic programs that adapt to your environment to prioritise speech and keep noise comfortable. But how well do they really perform — and are all brands equally capable? In this video, we show you how four of the latest premium hearing aids from Starkey, Oticon, ReSound and Phonak can handle speech in background noise in their automatic programs. You'll hear independently recorded (by us) hearing aid audio using different hearing aids in identical speech in noise scenarios, so you can hear the difference in performance. Whether you’re considering hearing aids, already wearing them, or just curious about how they work, this demo will give you a taste of what each of the brands are capable of. 🔔 Subscribe to ​⁠ for more videos and sound demos 📍 Visit us at Evergreen Audiology in Perth, WA 🌐 www.evergreenaudiology.com.au ___ HEARING DEVICES 1.
