Many CLARIA visitors ask themselves the same question: will CLARIA hearing aids work for me? That is why we wrote this article, which details the features of our devices and tells you whether they seem suitable for your level of hearing loss.
The effectiveness of our hearing products depends on several factors. Unlike a television or a lamp, a hearing aid does not simply "work" or "not work." It must meet certain criteria depending on the user.
The main indicator to know if a CLARIA hearing aid will suit you is your level of hearing loss.
Will CLARIA suit my level of hearing loss?
To really know if a hearing aid will suit you, you must understand your hearing loss. Hearing is measured over a frequency range from 250 to 8000 Hz, which corresponds to the entire spectrum audible to human beings. Frequency measures the number of sound wave cycles. Pitch describes the high or low nature of the perceived sound: the higher the frequency, the higher the pitch.
The extent of hearing loss is measured in decibels (dB), i.e., sound intensity. The greater your hearing loss, the higher the decibel threshold at which you hear. For example, a person with mild to moderate hearing loss will only hear sounds exceeding 40 decibels at certain frequencies. As the hearing test shows, we do not hear at the same intensity depending on the frequency, and that is what makes everyone's hearing unique, like a fingerprint.
To find out your level of hearing loss at each frequency, take an online hearing test. You will get an audiogram that maps your hearing loss. From this audiogram, you will have a good idea of what might suit you. Be sure to follow the online instructions and take the test in a quiet environment.
Most people with hearing loss get an audiogram similar to this one. It shows that, for the majority of high frequencies, they only hear sounds at 60-70 decibels or more.
With a CLARIA EV3 hearing aid, you could add 40 to 50 decibels of gain at these frequencies, which would allow you to hear all sounds starting from 20-30 decibels.
Does CLARIA work for tinnitus?
Tinnitus is a common symptom of hearing loss: it manifests as whistling of varying pitch in the ears. Many hearing-impaired people suffer from it to varying degrees.
While CLARIA devices cannot technically be used to diagnose, treat, or cure tinnitus, thousands of our customers report an improvement and relief from their tinnitus thanks to our products! Experience has shown us that, for many, a simple hearing aid can help with tinnitus.
We advise you to try our EV1 or EV3 hearing aids. The EV1 works on a lower frequency range: it amplifies low-pitched sounds without amplifying high-pitched sounds. The EV3 offers improved sound quality and has received excellent reviews, from both customers and third-party organizations, among people suffering from tinnitus.
If one of them suits you, great! You will save thousands of euros compared to the traditional hearing aid route. If it doesn't, no worries: we will refund you in full and even recommend a product from another brand.
Features of the CLARIA EV1 hearing aid
Maximum gain (dB): 40dB
Frequency range (Hz): 300-4500Hz
Charging time (h): 6~8
Battery life per charge (h): 28h
The EV1 hearing aid offers an impressive 40dB gain. This will suit most people with mild to moderately severe hearing loss. In cases of severe to profound hearing loss, the EV1 may still be suitable (many customers report amazing results), but a more powerful model will sometimes be necessary.
One point to keep in mind with the EV1: its frequency range. It amplifies sounds from low to medium frequencies, but not high-pitched sounds.
Features of the CLARIA EV3 hearing aid
Frequency range (Hz): 250-8000Hz
Battery life: 18-22 hours
Maximum gain (dB): 28dB
The EV3 hearing aids offer a maximum decibel gain slightly lower than the EV1, but they cover the entire frequency spectrum. In other words, for people whose hearing loss concerns high frequencies, the EV3 will be a better choice, especially in cases of tinnitus, often associated with high-frequency hearing loss.
In summary
Regarding hearing loss, CLARIA adopts a universal approach. This is what allows us to offer the lowest prices on the market, but the reality is that no hearing aid suits everyone.
CLARIA was only sold online for its first two years, but expect to find it in stores soon. CLARIA is currently developing wholesale partnerships to deploy into retail. By partnering with strategic partners experienced in negotiations, from hygiene to protective equipment, CLARIA will soon become a household name.
For most levels of hearing loss, we recommend that you try CLARIA. If it works for you, you will save thousands of euros! And if it doesn't, we will refund you in full and even advise you on other, more powerful device options.
Our number one goal: to allow everyone to afford the possibility of hearing again. For tens of thousands of our customers, CLARIA hearing aids have been a great help; we hope they will be for you too!
