Customer Experience

Overall Rating: 4 / 5 (Excellent)

Eargo hearing aids help wearers process and understand speech more clearly, amplifying mid and high auditory frequencies. The company's products were designed by an ENT surgeon with more than thirty years' experience in the field with thousands of patients. Products were subsequently tested by audiologists and hearing professionals before being put into production. Since wearers generally need time to readjust to the hearing audio frequencies they may have missed for years--similar to how eyes adjust to glasses or contacts--Eargo has built a team of licensed personal hearing professionals to help each client through this process.

Eargo Product Offerings

Hearing Aid Style - 4 / 5

Eargo devices are extremely discreet. They're so invisible, you truly have to look very closely to see the tiny black end of their hearing aids. Eargo is also very attentive to comfort. Their patented Flexis, made from medical-grade silicone, help their devices rest comfortably in the ear and allows natural, ambient-lost frequencies to pass through into the eardrum.

The company's newest product is the Eargo 7, which automatically optimizes the soundscape as you move between environments. The Eargo 7 ifeatures Sound Adjust+ with Clarity Mode, a powerful capability that automatically adapts your Eargo devices to your current sound environment. The Eargo 7 is competitively priced when compared to traditional hearing aids at $2,950 for a pair of devices. It provides 16 hours of continuous use an overnight charge up to 2 days of portable power with the contactless charging case. All of Eargo's products are distinguished by excellent on-demand support from hearing professionals for as long as you use your device.

Eargo's other products include the Eargo SE, a virtually invisible CIC hearing aid that is cleared by the FDA. The company's newest product is LINK by Eargo, the company's first earbud-style OTC hearing aid with 5.3 Bluetooth. Both products benefit from rechargeable batteries and four preset sound modes to optimize your hearing experience.

Eargo kits come with left and right devices, two sizes of Flexis (regular and large), charger units, cleaning tools, and more. Every purchase comes with free lifetime support.

I've just started wearing them today and was very anxious about breaking them. The support from before purchase and when first wearing them has been excellent. In just a few hours, I can tell I'm hearing s, ch, d, t, b, p sounds better than in a long time. Very easy to adjust the sound level, and as recommended, I'll try the fine tuning with the phone app in a couple of weeks after I get used to ambient sounds vs. speech, etc.
