Greetings!

My name is Abram Bailey, and I am the president of Hearing Tracker, Inc.

I would like to formally introduce our recently launched website HearingTracker.com

Hearing Tracker is completely devoted improving success with hearing aids through seeking honest and open consumer reviews. Click on this recent hearing aid review for a sample of what our reviews look like:

For a better view, see the live review

What makes Hearing Tracker different from other product review websites?

  • Reviews are linked to audiograms and hearing professionals. Is the device successful for mild losses? Severe losses? Who fits the model best in my area?
  • Hearing Tracker allows you to filter reviews based on your own audiogram, excluding reviews that aren't relevant to you and your hearing level.
  • Hearing Tracker forum posts are linked to user profiles, where you can see the user's reviewed devices and audiogram, on a graph!
  • Hearing Tracker sends you free hearing aid batteries for each review provided
  • For a full breakdown of benefits please visit our new Consumer Guide
Hearing Tracker was developed from the ground up specifically to account for the issues of variability in hearing loss and audiologist skill level. Reviewing hearing devices is unlike reviewing any other product on the market because of these factors, and now we finally have a way to isolate the product quality!

We are a young company, and need your help in getting our new system off the ground, so we can help the multitudes of people looking for good advice about hearing aids.

Please visit Hearing Tracker today to review your hearing aids today. Don't forget to consult the Consumer Guide if you get lost!

Best of all, we are here to help you with any questions you may have. Please contact me at abram@hearingtracker.com or reply to this post with comments/questions.

Many thanks, this has been a long time coming,

Hi Mew,

Just curious, what criticism did you have about the project? Hearing Tracker is purely informational, and we aren't attempting to sell anything :)

Thanks,

could be a useful site. I can't do a review as you only list the Q line of the Naidas and I have the first generation.

Thanks for the feedback. At this stage Hearing Tracker only displays current product lines. Our thinking was this: We want hearing aid reviews to be useful for people who are actively looking for new hearing aids.

The process of entering hearing aids was very time intensive, and we had to start somewhere, but as the website ages, we should carry a more complete listing of previous generation hearing aids.

So far we have 457 hearing aids entered from most of the major brands, but stay tuned. We plan to enter as many as we can!

cdmeggers Be in touch if you'd like some free batteries. I appreciate the feedback!
 
2014 Update

Happy New Year and thanks for your ongoing support of Hearing Tracker!

Just wanted to send a little update that the Oticon Nera hearing aids have been added to Hearing Tracker. I would like to encourage anyone who has recently been fitted with the Oticon Nera to review their devices.

Here is a link to the Oticon Nera miniRITE

To find other Nera devices simply type "Nera" into the Device Finder

The offer of free hearing aid batteries is still available for US residents.

Thanks very much!! :ty:
 
This sure would have been nice when I was in the HA market!! Thanks for your work!
 
I'm looking now and I've got my sights on the Phonak Audeo Q90 RITE as it was so tiny and I liked the feeling of not having my ears plugged up. I currently wear Phonak Savia's ITE half shells and they have been fantastic for clarity of speech and just general usage.

Wish there were more reviews on that and the Oticon Alta by people who have my kind of hearing loss which is severe and progressive.

If your hearing loss is already severe and still going, it might be helpful to get BTEs with ear molds.. just saying. Soon that might be the only kind that would be beneficial to you. Give it a few weeks, and your ears won't feel plugged up anymore, it'll just feel normal.

I'm mod to severe, but basically severe in both ears, one worse than the other, but I wouldnt have thought of RITE until the audi suggested them saying I could do it, but I need to have them on trial to know if they will be. But I would like to try for myself before deciding.

Hi, thanks so much for your support! Once we have a few more reviews coming through, I think the site will hold a lot of value. Please make a review if you get a chance!

Thanks so much. I'm sorry we don't have your hearing aids listed on Hearing Tracker at present, but with thousands of current models, I have to start somewhere! As the site ages, more legacy hearing aids should become available. I would think a mold would be available for your minis BTW.
