I first ordered the Atom Pro 2 but had a lot of trouble with squelching and sounding like I was in a tin can, and no matter what I did it wouldn't stop. I contacted Audien, and the gentleman I spoke to was very helpful and ended up sending me the Ion to replace them. I sent the Atom back. The Ion doesn't squelch at all, but it still sounds like I'm in a tin can...and I have to take them out when I eat because chewing sounds like thunder inside my head. I have tinnitus very bad from years as a firearms instructor and a trooper standing along the highways listening to big trucks and traffic. It ruined my hearing. When I wear them, it still sounds like I'm inside a tin can, but not as bad as the Atom Pro 2 was. I'll keep them in hopes it will get better. I've had the Ion's for only 2 weeks. I thought getting hearing aids just improved your hearing, I had no idea it caused all these other problems, like pressure in your ear canals and tinny sounds. I need to talk to others who have hearing aids to see what they go through.
