Invisibility & Rechargeability
Eargo offers four hearing aid models that fit inside the ear canal, making them nearly invisible. It also provides an online hearing test to help potential users determine their level of hearing loss. You can speak with Eargo representatives, too, who can help you choose the best hearing aid for your lifestyle and degree of hearing loss.
Eargo hearing aids come with two sizes of soft, replaceable silicone tips that “float” inside your ear while allowing in air and natural sounds. All hearing aids are rechargeable, lasting approximately 16 hours on a full charge. When fully charged, the Eargo charger can power the hearing aids for up to a week.
Pros
- cater well to people with mild to moderate high-frequency hearing loss who are looking for a discreet, rechargeable devicewhile not suitable for every person with hearing loss
- sold as a pair (unlike some competitor devices that are sold separately) and don’t require an audiologist exam or prescription.
- less expensive—about half the price in some instancesthan high-end prescription devices.
Attention
A potential downside is that these devices bypass a proper audiology exam, which may catch potentially serious (or possibly treatable) underlying health problems at the root of a person’s hearing loss.
