Most of what I'm reading in the reviews is about pressure and hearing issues. Has anyone had dizziness clear up with the use of this device? Thank You

No experience of dizziness, so can't comment on that. I would only add that hasn't cured my Eustacian tube problem, so for me it needs to be constantly applied for recurrent relief of hearing loss. My ENT specialist, because I had some repeat of SOM with effusion, recommended trying the EP rather than repeating myringotomy.

If your ears are popping, try getting some Lemon drop candies. The doctor told me I too had fluid behind the ear which means an issue with the Eustachian tube, which can be caused by the salivary gland malfunctioning from a salivary stone. I kept letting mine go trying to figure things out as to what was going on. I ended up in the ER due to severe pain and swelling on my right side of face. I couldn't touch my face even with a feather. I took the doctors advice and tried the sour candies. The pain and swelling went down within a week. I bought a huge bag of lemon drops off this site and I now eat one drop almost every day just for maintenance. So far it's been doing QUITE well. Good luck!

If someone has dizziness that is actually diagnosed as vertigo, this device will not help. Most cases of vertigo are caused by misplaced crystals in the inner ear. There are very good exercises on the internet that will help you clear that up. (Speaking from experience.) I prefer the UColorado Arizona half somersault method.

If you can pop your ears then don't buy this device. It does the same thing.

It depends on what your dizziness is being caused by. If you are having an issue with your ears clogging and causing dizziness, then yes, this has helped me. I had dizziness from a clogged eustachian tube but I also found out that the eustachian tube was being affected due to an issue with my salivary gland and was told to suck on sour candy for several days to help clear the problem. So I did both this and the candy for a few weeks until it cleared. Hope that helps

It does take getting used to and it is important to get the ear piece set in according to the instructions. To me the directions seem counter intuitive but it works. It also helps if the you let the mouthpiece hang down sort of near the chin. It does not seem to affect the performance and your not fighting gravity. Look carefully at the instructions. All that said, every device is not not everyone but it seems strange that no one in the office can make them fit. Best of luck

Why would you ask about MOST hearing aides unless you are a professional dealing with many different hearing aides. I am simply a user and have only one kind of hearing aid. So unless you ask about a specific brand I am unable to be of help,

I have similar problems hearing dialog (high frequency sound loss). When my wife and I would watch movies, many, many times I would have to ask the wife "what did he say?". I had a bose 5.1 surround system, and tried adjusting sound (treble etc.) on the tv to help but it was no help. I was researching sound bars for the main purpose of helping me understand, and came across the 555. It has been remarkable. When I received, I tried each mode, and was getting a little worried that although it was better, I was still having a little trouble with dialog. Then, I engaged the DE and there was a huge difference for me. I have gone from many times not knowing what the heck is going on in a movie, to hardly EVER missing a word. No two people will have the exact same hearing level, so you will get differing opinions. That said, it has the 30 day return policy, and I have to recommend trying it.

John, please read my original review of this device. I found this device VERY disappointing. I suggest you check out the Logitech series, you will like it much better!

You know, my original thought when I saw your question was,"I don't know." Then I started thinking my ears used to ring bad at times, and I haven't noticed it lately. I still have to say, of all the non Rx units Ibe used, it is STILL the best I've bought... Hope that helps.

I didn't have a problem - at higher volume level a little tickling on the skin due to the vibration. However, I could understand (especially if your sinuses were congested) how it would vibrate your semi-circular canals (they're where your balance is managed and are located in your inner ears) and could have some effect. But understand this is just my opinion, I'm not a doctor by any means.

its really weird that I got this question today. Up until about 3 days ago it was perfect. People could hear from quite a distance. Now in the car people cannot understand what I'm saying. Its very sensitive but it seems like you're not blocking noise. Its not blocking noise. I was thinking of calling them to find out what was up. Been real disappointed lately period last 3 4 days

Every time I used this product, it worked great. However, I recently discovered that the real reason for my hearing loss was a busted eardrum due to buildup of sinus pressure from having the flu. I can hear perfect out of my normal ear, though. If your ears feel like they're not getting unclogged after, maybe go to the doctor? It's what I would do.

Having the same problem but that's the difference between an ear bud and a full headset. The weight of the unit is pulling the unit down against the ears causing the discomfort.For the price, one would like a little more comfort. I tried this...along with the ear hooks, I attached a small lanyard to the unit and then put that around my neck to pick up some of the weight of the unit.Pressure relief about 60%. Helps when watching long period movies.Good luck

I know in my opinion it works at least 90% better than the nettipot although I am not sure about how much or how little the directionality of the head changes it's effectiveness. I just had to try using it at different angles and found head up and down felt like normal but the tilted head felt like I had a temporary ear infection and only cleared up when I straightened my head and blew my nose.

The company brochure says..."Humid environments, sweat, and moisture may clog the device and distort sounds. Consider using a hearing aid dehumidifier overnight." I'd bet changing the earpiece tip and/or tubing periodically might accomplish the same benefit.

I, too, have the Audeo 5 hearing aids. My ComPilot worked just fine right out of the box with nothing more than bluetooth pairing. I love it for my smartphone and, of course, for TV audio. One thing, though, that I find a bit annoying-- it announces what mode it's working in every time it changes from phone to TV. I'm hoping that if I take it in to have it paired with my Audeo 5 hearing aids that this little "feature" can be disabled. It's an annoyance is all. Otherwise, the ComPilot is a godsend and works beautifully.

Unless you have irregular breathing (nasal congestion or some form of blockage) there shouls be no problem with people hearing you breathe. i have been using my headset almopst every day and did not experience the "stalling" feeling you are getting.--Kenneth Garrison

I have the same issue. I was hesitant to get these but they were highly recommended from a friend so I took a shot in the dark and got them. I'm happy to report that this thing has some pretty nice grip. The downside is it's tight enough that it may cause some ear irritation after extensive use but beyond that this is one of the best purchases I've made.
