When it comes to hearing aids, the internet is full of information, but not all of it is accurate, reliable, or even helpful. If you’re looking for trustworthy advice, expert reviews, and clear explanations, YouTube can be a goldmine. The key is knowing which channels to follow.
Here are five of the very best YouTube channels for anyone researching hearing aids, whether you’re considering your first pair, upgrading, or simply wanting to understand your options better.
Dr. Cliff Olson, AuD
With close to 400,000 subscribers, Dr. Cliff Olson has established himself as the original authority for hearing aid content on YouTube. Based in Arizona, he’s built his reputation on honest, evidence-based information, advocating for best practices in audiology, particularly real ear measurements and proper programming.
From brand comparisons to navigating insurance, he makes complex topics easy to understand. If you want to learn what great audiological care looks like, this is the perfect place to start.
Hearing Tracker
Full disclosure: I contribute to this channel myself, alongside Dr. Steve Taddy. At Hearing Tracker, we focus on in-depth product reviews, patient stories, and expert interviews, often covering new devices before they even reach the market.
What makes the channel unique is Dr. Taddy’s specialist testing. Using a custom-built lab, he benchmarks hearing devices against manufacturers’ claims, offering an honest, clinical look at how they really perform. If you want both real-world experience and hard data, Hearing Tracker delivers.
Treble Health
If tinnitus is your main concern, Treble Health could be an invaluable resource. Run by audiologist Dr. Ben Thompson, this channel specialises in evidence-based tinnitus relief strategies, including CBT-style approaches, masking techniques, and detailed reviews of treatments like Lenire.
What sets Treble Health apart is Dr. Thompson’s calm, supportive style. He focuses on realistic, sustainable solutions, making his channel a reassuring space for anyone whose tinnitus is affecting their sleep, mental health, or quality of life.
Sound Relief Tinnitus & Hearing Center
Led by Dr. Julie Prutzman and her team, Sound Relief combines professional expertise with a therapeutic approach. You’ll find everything from tinnitus masking soundscapes to practical explanations of tinnitus retraining therapy, alongside Q&As tackling the most common (and often most difficult) questions patients ask.
If you want a more clinically focused perspective on tinnitus, plus practical strategies for managing it, this channel is well worth exploring.
HearAdvisor
Finally, we have HearAdvisor, led by Dr. Steve Taddy. Think of it as the “Consumer Reports” of hearing aids. Using lab-grade equipment and controlled sound environments, HearAdvisor tests hearing aids side by side, sharing demonstration clips across scenarios like background noise, music, and quiet conversations.
Devices are scored on clarity, comfort, listening effort, and more, so whether you’re comparing premium brands or over-the-counter models, you’ll get objective, data-driven insights to help guide your decision.
