Our small team of hearing scientists embarked on a pretty wild project last year—to independently evaluate every popular hearing aid on the market and post the results on our website for all to see.

The good news keeps coming for HearAdvisor. There has been a ton of turbulence in the last couple weeks with Google tweaking the knobs to demote and remove "parasite SEO" abusers (Authority sites like Forbes and CNN—and non-profit National Council on Aging or NCOA—hosting third-party managed affiliate content). Meanwhile, the true authorities on niche topics have finally been able to gain ground against the affiliate-sales content farms. This is a step in the right direction imho and I hope that Google will go even further and start showing at least one organic result "above the fold" ... The last time I googled "best hearing aids" I had to scroll down past 4 sponsored links and a bunch of sponsored products before reaching the first organic result. Pictured below: HearAdvisor(.com)'s Google traffic growth and tanking traffic at top affiliate sites. #seo

How do you build a world-class acoustic testing facility in your basement? You'd have to ask the man himself, Dr Steve Taddei. After putting in hundreds of hours, Dr Taddei has converted his once very-average Illinois basement into a state-of-the-art hearing aid and earplug vetting lab that disrupts two global industries and helps consumers cut through the marketing hype to find the best products available on the market today (according to science). After site visits from multiple leading hearing aid manufacturers—with nothing but positive feedback—we are 100% confident in Dr Taddei's leadership in the lab, and frankly, we're in awe of his jaw-dropping handiwork producing this incredible space that is both functional and beautiful. He is a true renaissance man, and we are proud to have him on the team.

And just like that, the new Apple AirPods Pro 2 *HEARING AIDS* have been tested by independent audio testing lab HearAdvisor. TLDR: The AirPods got a B grade on Apple's default settings (for mild-to-moderate loss). Perhaps surprisingly, the devices were very capable, receiving an A grade after some tweaking to better match NAL-NL2 prescriptive amplification targets. Thanks to my cofounders for the blazing fast evaluation (Steve Taddei) and data analysis (Andrew Sabin).

“That moment when they hear better” — and realize that birds are chirping outside the window — “a light goes on. And now that moment will be so much more accessible,” Dr. Sabin said. Like others in the field, he anticipates that more manufacturers and software developers will follow Apple’s lead. - A gift article 🎁 from The New York Times for our followers! A fantastic piece from Paula Span.
