As part of their continued customer-focused approach Lucid Hearing announced the launch of fio, its “smallest in-canal, rechargeable hearing aid.”
“Fio is focused on delivering the most comfortable fit and function for the active individual who is looking to maximize every moment of their lives. Hearing health is a right of every individual and our goal at Lucid Hearing is to simply help people hear better” said Jason Kidd, CEO Lucid Hearing. “Part of that responsibility is to make products that are ready for use, discreet in nature, and empower the end user to customize their hearing profile.”
Compatible with LucidShape, fio allows the user to develop custom hearing levels for all types of environments making wearing fio a way to bring the user back into the conversation.

About Lucid Hearing:
Lucid Hearing’s mission is to advance hearing healthcare holistically across its family of brands that encompass hearing enhancement, enjoyment, protection, detection, and wellness. They believe every human should have access to better hearing, and is proud to offer free online and in-store assessments at over 500 Lucid Hearing clinics nationwide.
Hearing Aids Powered by Lucid are “highly sophisticated devices which have the capacity to make a real impact on the overall quality of life for those with hearing loss,” according to the company. They “help deliver natural sound quality that is superior to traditional compression hearing aid technology.” Powered by Lucid hearing aids help you “hear the sounds that are most important to you and ensure they are at the most understandable and comfortable volume.” For a smoother, richer sound, multiple channels create “greater sound quality allowing our Powered by Lucid technology to focus the most important part of the sound signal in a comfortable listening range while minimizing distortion.”

All hearing aids do provide adequate amplification for all people with various kinds of hearing loss. But no hearing aid actually provides protection for progressive SNHL”s which are 80-90% of all hearing losses that lead to MCI. The basic reason is simple: Our computations for gain and power are based on old fashioned theories that make little sense in the science of hearing today!
What you all need to know is that you have the foremost responsibility of helping the patient sustain their degree of hearing and not just load up their ears to worsen their neural connections and bring in cognitive impairments! That will negate the entire purpose of help the hard of hearing.
The medical branch of hearing sciences are fully aware of the harm being done to the hard of hearing patients, which is degradation of neural signals traveling to the brain! so the issue is very clearly, the destruction of cognitive information neurally.
CAN WE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THAT PLEASE? CAN WE JUST DROP THE MPO’S AND SAVE THE WORLD, WHICH IN TURN WOULD HELP IN SAVING THE NEURAL STRUCTURES INVOLVED DIRECTLY WITH THE FLOW OF SOUNDS TO THE BRAIN?
I would greatly appreciate a response and progress with better innovative thinking !
What is your solution to this problem? As a Hearing Aid Specialist, what can we do to help with this issue?
I’m sorry, but maybe I’m misunderstanding you; our modern computations for gain and power in hearing aids are based on a long line of scientific research and literature going back at least to the 1950s and arguably before then. Further, I know of no data that links the neural degradation of auditory pathways OR MCI to well prescribed hearing aids.
