I'm pleased with Eargo so far. The team has been pretty helpful. I have spoken to some of my friends who need hearing aids and if they ask me if they should or should not, I would say, "Get them."

My first hearing aids so typical newbie learning curve about how to clean them after use and recharging.

I had some difficulty getting the right unit to charge after some months of use but could achieve total recharge by swapping the right unit into the charger’s left port after the left unit reached full charge.

It worked as a work around and when I emailed a couple of questions to Eargo I received a prompt email reply with a case number within a couple of hours.

The second day customer service called me to verify my address, then told me a replacement charger was being sent. Nice! End result is I now leave the charger-base/storage unit plugged in whenever I’m not wearing my Eargos.

I clean the units after use with alcohol and a soft cotton cloth (old tee shirt), let them air dry for a few minutes then insert them into the charger/case. Watch the green lights to verify the charge is working, close the case and forget about them until I need them again.

With the pandemic restrictions we’re not out and about much so I don’t wear them every day but they sure make hearing the doctor/nurse or waitress a lot better. Thumbs up Eargo!

These are the most expensive ear plugs I've ever owned. They worked well for the first few months but then they started not holding the charge and not changing the audio mode. The "L","R" markers on the units were not legible from the beginning.

I can go on but why bother? In short these things are awful and I would not recommend them to anyone, go see a professional and get the real thing. It costs about the same and you have someone to work with. Screw me once, shame on you, Screw me twice, shame on me!!

I have had my Eargo hearing aids about a week and half now and so far they are performing fine. They are very comfortable in my ears to the point that I almost forget I have them in. I'm using level 2 right now which seems to be fine.

My wife is very happy because I can listen to the TV at a lot lower volume than I used to. The TV was always too loud for her before.

I had a very nice conversation with Annie last night and she thoroughly went over all the benefits of my Eargos. As I said I've been wearing them about a week and a half and I am very satisfied.

First, every federal service employee covered by FEP program should know that you will not find another hearing aid that provides a top shelf hearing aid, the latest technology, comfort and functionality of the Eargo product line.

Moreover, this hearing aid is completely in the ear canal such that no one will ever know that you are wearing a hearing aid unless you decide to tell them.

Especially in light of the pandemic health care warnings, it could not be safer, easier or more convenient to access hearing aid services right from the comfort of your own home.

I have owned the Eargo Max, the Eargo Neo and now the Neo Hi Fi, and for mild to moderate hearing loss and tinnitus, it's my observation that you will wonder how you lived without your Eargo's in the past.

These babies have been well thought out in every respect including a patented ear canal bud that makes hearing as natural as possible while providing a level of comfort you would not believe feasible.

In case you may be wondering, I do not work for or have any affiliation with Eargo, but I would not mind if I did. Neither am I a hearing service professional, but from experience alone, I know that I could sell them to any person suffering mild to moderate hearing loss.

Not only that, they are so simple to use, I suspect I could provide any customer care that might be required.

Between Eargo and the federal employment FEP insurance benefit, I could not be better served, and I highly recommend the Eargo hearing aids in any of the three iterations.

I had tried one hearing aid brand and I didn't like it because it was so small. I couldn't see the way you had to adjust the volume over something.

My Eargo one, because it could be charged without batteries, I thought it was a plus. The quality of it is very good. I've been very pleased. The Eargo reps are very professional and courteous.

Eargo is the only brand you should consider buying if you need hearing aids. They’re a top notch company with excellent customer service, continuing follow-up and too, their hearing aids are beyond compare.

We looked at many other choices and are so very happy we decided to purchase these because they work wonderfully.

My brother, being 77, found these to be easy to use and now he can hear everything from people around him, the television, phone calls and best of all his lovely wife’s voice of 52 years.

I don’t think there’s another company that even comes close to matching Eargo’s quality, customer’s satisfaction, dedication and personal care.

Please give them a try - they won’t disappoint, they will meet your highest expectations going above and beyond - they’re all about pleasing you 100% - thank you Eargo! Sandy Amboy WA.

I got these and they are pretty good except for some echoing. My biggest problem is when I was at a bowling tournament this weekend, every time a ball hit the lane my volume would go up.

I had to take them out after practice because they were really loud. In a normal setting they are pretty good.

I ordered Eargo to replace my BelTone units and was initially very impressed; however, they quit working in a very short time. All the fix this instructions were followed with poor results. Customer service was good but had this happen consistently for the guaranteed year.

Total usable time, with several exchange units, was just over 4 1/2 months - not good. I have given up and replaced them with another company which offered much less expensive rechargeable units and they are working just fine.

Eargos are a cool product but they belong in a nice display case to be admired there because they won't work for a very long time.

I purchased the Eargo Neo HiFi hearing aids. With the first set, the right ear was shutting off 3 or more times per day. Sometimes holding it upside down would restore functionality but most of the time I had to insert the device into the charger for a few mins to do so.

The replacement set, the left ear has a high pitch pulsating tone if I select level 3 or 4. So in my experience their quality control is extremely poor.

Now, your review is full of false information. Eargo devices are not configurable for individual users needs. They have 4 presets and each preset allows the user to either increase or decrease the bass and/or treble by 6db.

That's right, only one adjustment up or down and 6db is a huge volume change. Understand that 3db equals a doubling in volume. Next the BBB does not give Eargo a 5 star rating. My last check they had a rating of 2 or less!

I have moderate high frequency hearing loss and severe tinnitus. I ordered the Eargo Neo HiFi as the first hearing aids I have ever had. At first I was very excited about the product and my right ear was a great fit but I had a hard time getting the left ear to adjust to any size flexi.

The problem started when the left ear piece quit working. Long story short, here I am 5 weeks later and waiting for my refund. The specifics. I called and was told they would immediately send out a replacement.

That would be the last personal conversation I would have with them because I could not contact anyone via phone. A week later and after the third try and on hold for twenty minutes, I was told I had to email them for service.

I did and a day later they emailed and stated they would instigate a claim for a replacement. (So much for sending one out immediately as I was told). Another week and I email them again since I could not get through on the phone.

Eargo emailed and said they would send a replacement as soon as one was available. After waiting for over two weeks more, I emailed and asked for a refund. They received my package two days after I sent it, but I had to email them to find out what was happening with my refund.

They texted me back and stated they were processing it. I will give them the benefit of the doubt and hope I get a refund. I will be buying a hearing aid from a local supplier.

I will say I was very disappointed because for the most part I liked the devices (no bluetooth though) but number one, an ear piece failed and number two the customer service was terrible!

I first contacted Eargo at the beginning of January this year indicating I was interested in purchasing an Eargo and provided my Federal insurance information.

On February 11 I received a message from Maegan on 2/11 stating that my my Federal insurance was "either incomplete or incorrect". I responded on 2/12 questioning why there was a problem along with a copy of my insurance FEHBP Aetna Heal FHFUND 225 insurance card.

I received an e-mail from Maegan the same day stating "that does look like the number that Jolene had put into the system...I will try to send it through again".

I received an text from Maegan on 2/16 stating "I've been given permission to help get you into a pair of Eargos -but this week only". I called Maegan and she continued to state that the problem was on my side. I don't know what what the problem is??

If Eargo does not accept my Federal insurance they should have informed me sooner so that I could have tried a different option.. You might want to adjust your advertisements to indicate that ONLY SOME federal insurance can get the hearing aids at no cost.

Eargo's customer service is less than acceptable!! I have used this insurance card for several years and have not had any problems.

Hello. Eargo is my first experience with hearing aids. When they work they are good, but they always quit working after a short while. When the first one quit working I called and talked to one of the Eargo people and he instructed me to brush it to get off the earwax or whatever.

I couldn't see any earwax or anything else on it but I did as he said and it didn't fix the thing. Then he said to pull out the little blue O-ring and replace it with a new one. I did that and it fixed the problem.

Maybe the O-ring was the problem, but according to the directions the blue rings should be replaced only every several months, and I'd used the Eargo for only one day (or maybe a couple of hours) at the time.

The Eargo worked for a couple of hours and then quit again and I put in another blue ring, and then one more blue ring, but this time it didn't fix it. I wiped the microphone and that fixed it that time.

The next time I used the Eargos they both worked for a couple of hours, but then I yawned and the right one quit working just as I yawned. Was it a coincidence? Hell, I don't know. I pulled it out and couldn't see any wax or anything, and wiping the microphone didn't fix it.

This is not a complete list of the problems I've had with the Eargos, but I hope you can get the picture.

Basically, I have no confidence they will work whenever I put them in, and I can sometimes get them to work for awhile by messing with them, but I don't know ever what is the root of the problem.

After the yawn incident I tried putting the broken one in my ear without the flexi thing and I could tell it was working by the feedback, but when I put the flexi back on it didn't work, so maybe the flexi is stopped up with wax or something, but I couldn't fix it by brushing or blowing air through it by mouth and I couldn't see anything wrong with the flexi.

The frustration is not so much they quit working. I understand all machines fail and need to be maintained; however, they should work for more than a day without problems. What bothers me most is the time wasted on useless activities to fix them that may or may not do any good.

Maybe both of my Eargos are defective. Other reviewers don't seem to have any problems whatsoever. How can I know what to do?

If I call the company most probably I'll be told to brush them or replace the blue O-rings again and then they'll work until I yawn or some unknown factor comes into play and they quit again.

I am the biggest complainer and malcontent on God's green earth! I’m never happy about anything. And I LOVE my Eargo Aids. The BEST product by far over the hearing aids on the market. Got suckered into buying Phonetak..$5,000!!

They were garbage: unreliable, battery always dying, lousy fit in ear,..a disaster!! The Eargo aids are COMFORTABLE, invisible, charge quickly, easy to clean, easy to replace wax trap. GREAT customer service.

I lost one aid and a quick call to CS and the aid was delivered in two days. $285 replacement fee...a great deal. I couldn’t be happier and the wife is even more happy than me....no more WHAT???? Thought she was going to kill me...:)

I have been using hearing aids that I bought from Costco for the last 7 years. When they started to fail I looked for something better. I ran across Eargo online and did a lot of research about them.

I have to say I was skeptical but since they have a 45 day return policy I figured I would give them a try. I am so glad I did! I put them in as soon as I got them charged and OMG they are fantastic.

The way they come set up works perfect for me without any modifications required. Thank you Eargo for giving me my hearing back!

They are very expensive. I have returned them under warranty many times. I have cleaned them per their instructions. They claim that most issues are cleaning issues. When warranty runs out you get the big chorizo. People are nice. Works good for 2/3 months.

Then call and send it back. I recommended a friend when I first got them. He has had same issues. I am extremely embarrassed for having made a recommendation. Spend your money somewhere else. I am convinced it is a design problem.

If I could rate them zero and get this message posted I would do it. Unfortunately the system will not let me do that. I also believe that the better ratings are strictly from new users. It is a shame to rip people on fixed incomes off by selling an unproven product.

This is what I wrote to them...please be wary! Did you know that I've only had my Eargos for a little over a year. They quit working right before the warranty was up and I was able to get them replaced for free. And then the charger broke.

So I called about getting a new charger and your company said that my type of hearing aid is not made anymore and so there are no Chargers available and I must buy a new set of hearing aids with a new charger! What??!!

So after I complained vigorously it came to my attention from your company that indeed there is a charger that will work with my hearing aids.... and it will only cost $350! What?!

So after I complained vigorously again I got a $50 reduction. What?! At this point I didn't have a choice so I went ahead and purchased them.

And then I am so pissed I had my wife call you guys on Tuesday ask where my order is since it didn't arrive at all a week after it was due for arrival! She was told this past Tuesday that new charger would be shipped and arrive in overnight shipping.

Since Wednesday was a holiday I didn't expect it until today which is Thursday. And now you're just telling me that that there's been another delay? What?! OMG Eargo....it's time for me to write this nightmare in an online rating.

Hi Eric. Thank you for bringing this to our attention. I reviewed your account and sent your post to one of our client care managers. We have decided to extend your replacement charger warranty an additional 6 months for the trouble you've experienced. We did charge you $245 for the charger and overnighted the replacement as soon as it was discovered there was a processing issue with the first one. We'll take the information in your post and use it as part of our ongoing commitment to provide world class customer service.

Intelligent, personable, friendly individuals to work with; great product. Having worn behind the ear hearing aids for three years, these are much easier to wear, and much less trouble, especially if you wear glasses, and now with the mask required so many places because of COVID-19.

They go in the ear and present no trouble switching glasses, or taking your mask off. In addition if you have any questions there is always someone just a phone call away more than willing to help you.

I’m beyond pleased with my experience with my Eargos and the company. I was pleasantly surprised to learn that as a former Federal employee my Fed health insurance paid ALL the cost of my hearing aids.

They arrived rapidly and I wore them right away after watching all the videos available. We drove in our convertible the next day (top down) and I could hear my husband talking and experienced no wind noise.

The next week my specialist answered all my questions and had good ideas to improve the comfort of my Eargos (I have very small ear canals). The videos are excellent and the app available to control the hearing aids is a must have!

All in all I highly recommend these hearing aids. Of course not everyone will have the immediate experience I’ve had-so my advice is keep experimenting with them, ask for help from the company and don’t give up!! The end result is worth it!

Great customer service to get you locked in with quick delivery. Then, after 2 weeks, when I decided to return them because, among other things, (1) the sound was tinny; (2) difficult to change programs; and (3) occasionally high-pitched annoying sounds, I was treated to extremely BAD customer service.

Couldn’t reach anybody and had to leave messages. Not all calls were returned. Mailed the hearing aids back to Eargo, but it is now 6 weeks later and I still have not been reimbursed the $2500 my insurance company paid them.

It is so bad that I got the insurance company to intervene on my behalf. A rep at the insurance company told me this is a common problem with this company.

Had I known about this, I would not have purchased hearing aids from Eargo. That is why I am writing this — to warn you! Best of luck!

First of all; I love Eargo hearing aids. They are A) functional, B) discreet = nearly invisible, C) affordable. Eargo does offer financial plans so that you are able to get the units in your hands (or ears) within 3 days of contacting them.

Not only is it a quality product, Eargo also has excellent customer service if anything should go amiss so that you are never left waiting for replies or action.

I’ve been using my units for 3 yrs and in the time have had to contact the company only twice; once was to order a new charger after my old one got stolen, and the other time was to replace a unit that had issues.

An Eargo device is like a disposable razor, use it a few times and throw it away. Do I sound disappointed? I am, when you are required to replace an earpiece twice in one year for malfunctioning issues.

Eargo customer service rep told me, "Your earpiece warranty expired a month ago, you would need to pay $200 for a replacement." They had me doing all kinds of troubleshooting for almost a month, with no success.

This is not how you treat customers who are still making payments on a device that won't work. I hope customers get to read this, realize, this can happen to them.

Dear Jorge. Thank you for reaching out to Eargo through Retirement Living and reporting on your problems. I reviewed your case records and it appears there was considerable contact back and forth between Eargo and you without a connection being made shortly after your warranty expired. Given this difficulty, I am authorized to make an exception and request that a replacement device be sent to you at no charge. I hope this remedies the issue to your satisfaction.

Bought Eargo Neo in August 2019 for $2500.00. Had trouble right away. One had a constant noise. It took two weeks to get a replacement. They would work great for about a month and in spite of keeping them as clean as I possibly could, they would stop working.

After going thru this over and over for a year, I gave up when they wanted $300.00 to replace each hearing aid. Sorry I was so vain to want invisible hearing aids.

I just received my third Eargo hearing aids. I have been buying these aids since the company started. They keep making the product better and better. The customer service is unparalleled.

If you’re looking for an exceptionally discreet hearing aid that provides great ability to address your hearing loss, get Eargo. Beside being almost completely invisible, the charging case is terrific. I carry it in my purse all the time.

I could not stand the idea of little tiny batteries that need to be changed somewhat often. I tried another hearing aid that was much more expensive than Eargo and gave me pretty crummy customer service.

It actually went Far into my ear canal and needed to be inserted only by an audiologist. What a pain, including pain in the ear because they never fit right and kept slipping out and becoming extremely painful halfway in and halfway out.

I don’t work for Eargo, I am just a customer, but I can tell you that you should definitely try this game changer for people who might have hearing loss related to age, which I have discovered is a lot of people over the age of 50 or even 45.

Great invisible hearing aids at a fantastic price. They are completely invisible and have improved my hearing immensely. Highly recommend them.

For the price especially if you’re a veteran or related to a veteran or work in the government the price is phenomenal. Even at regular price they’re still cheaper than most and much better than any over the ear hearing aids.

Once I was able to get use to the insertion process, it became much more enjoyable all the time. The hearing aids work great. Much better than any other I have tried.

Comfortable fitting, do not amplify background noise, makes incoming speech clearer-I have been using TV Ears, that amplify sounds very well, but when I add Eargos into the picture the sound gets “cleaned” and clarity is achieved!!

I love Eargo. These hearing aids are good. I've had a couple pair.

I completely enjoyed my experience with Eargo. I'm a retired federal employee, and they said that I would get a break on it. So, I called up the number that was available and got a hold of a very sharp agent. He knew what was going on.

Then I got my Eargo very fast. It went through my Government Employees Health Association and Medicare. There was nothing out of my pocket. It was very good.

I needed my Eargo for the television so that I don't have to turn it up so loud. My wife is very sensitive. So, it works. I'm using a program that gets me enough with the TV set down low. This is one of the very best, if ever the best, thing that came along in hearing aids.

I do have one thing that is not really good. The one in my right ear on Program 2, I get a terrific feedback. I have to pull it out sometimes. It's so damn loud. I don't know how to stop that feedback.

When I step it up to 3 in my right ear, it seems to lessen the tone of the feedback. Other than that, Eargo is a marvelous piece of gear.

I found Eargo online. Their product was interesting to me, and it seems to be what I needed. I have hearing aids that are from the Veterans Administration, but they're the behind-the-ear kind and they worked great.

If I could find an inside-the-ear substitute that was as good as those, I would probably use them. What I like about those is that they connect to my phone, so I can speak on my phone without everyone hearing it.

With the Eargo, I tend to speak with the speaker on my cell phone. The Eargos are good. My ears create a lot of wax so I'm constantly cleaning the Eargos. If I don't clean them once every two days, they start to be blocked. So, I can't hear anything coming out of them.

It gets to the point where I hear less than I would if I just took them out of my ear and put them in my pocket, which is what I do routinely.

Eargo's customer service was good. They've done what they need to do, they responded when I asked about the cleaning, and they walked me through that.

The videos are nice. They're not quite as comprehensive on the cleaning as I'd like them to be, but I've got a unique situation where my ears create a lot of wax.

I've recommended Eargo to three friends of mine. They were pretty straightforward and easy. I like the adjustability by tapping on the ear.

The only complaint I have about it is there's no certain way to tell what you need to clean. But I just kind of cleaned the whole thing with alcohol. I wish there were more in depth videos online to let people know what it is that typically causes the blockage.

I had worn Starkey for six years. I had a little experience so I knew what I was looking at. I researched online from A to Z, and after a thorough search and reading everything I possibly could, Eargo was who we decided to go with.

I've never looked back. It was a wonderful move. The customer service has been great. I've felt like they were right there with me and got me off of the ground. I couldn't have been more pleased.

My hearing experience is fantastic. In fact, I've always had a little tinnitus. I feel like that it's helped with that. Everything is going great.

The only negative thing which could be with any hearing aids, is I've had to learn how to hold the phone. But what that amounts to is that I'm getting more volume now than I had before with the previous hearing aids.

Now that I know how to direct the phone and hold it, I don't have any problem with it. It just took me a week or so before I figured that one out.

I have friends that have just ordered a pair within the past four days. They were seeing my enthusiasm for Eargo.

They had some behind-the-ear hearing aids, and with all this mask business, they're constantly ripping those off when they take the mask off, which I don't have any problem with. Everything's out of sight. To my knowledge, nobody has even noticed what's in my ears.

I highly recommend Eargo to anyone that has a hearing problem. It's great. This is revolutionary compared to what I had before.

My husband said I can't hear. I saw Eargo's commercial and saw that it's possibly covered under federal insurance. I ordered them and they were covered. So it was great. They got a very easy process, too.

I've never used hearing aids before. It's an adjustment to get used to. But I like them. There's just a lot of echoing but I definitely can hear better with them. The customer service was excellent. My experience has been good with them.

I bought Eargo after my wife badgered me of my inability to hear her well. I always thought it was selective but came across Eargo as a suggestion from a friend. The price is reasonable. It is well marketed, comes in a neat package and simple instructions.

After a few days I immediately upgraded to the Neo HiFi. The charger is clever and you are able to change by Bluetooth different preset channels and specialty channels which allows you to set these aids to a program that best fits you.

They make it no secret that wax is your enemy. Support is great especially during the first 45 days which is your free trial. Reminders come frequently about brushing these aides to your app. As I first used them a whole new world that I long since forgot returned.

My wife said I shuffled my feet (which I denied) but sheepishly affirmed. I could hear the beeping of my refrigerator when left open. Music awesome as I long ago could not hear high pitches.

Some weeks down the line one did stopped working. I felt I was doing air aid hygiene but I contacted my rep and she sent me a new one. She told me this is ear wax and I needed to scrub them with my little brush vigorously. They sent me a new one and I was back in business.

These are incredibly comfortable. You can walk into the shower with them on if you're not careful.

I was reading some of the other reviews from former police officers like myself. I too have hearing loss in both ears due to many years of shooting. At first I was very happy with having restored hearing levels.

Unfortunately Eargo does a great job of selling the product but not servicing the product. I too have had to replace the charger once. And then my left eargo went bad after the warranty was over and I was still paying $86 a month.

They refused to do anything about that and instead offered me replacement parts at extended costs which again was in addition to the money that I still owed them.

I also went to hearing places such as Beltone to see if they would repair them. Two of these type stores had never even heard of your Eargo. I rate this product as about as low as you can go. Very poor customer service and follow through. I feel like I've been suckered.

Hi David. I'm sorry you are having issues with your left hearing aid. Eargo has always had (and always will) a repair policy for both the charging system and hearing aids when the warranty expires. You do NOT have to purchase new equipment when the warranty expires. Our nominal warranty fee include a replacement of the hearing aid and a one year repair warranty on the replacement. I am going to have someone call you within 24 hours to get this resolved quickly. If you would like to call us before then our phone number is 800-615-9000. Also, I show that you contacted us in January 2020 to inquire about your payment plan. We gave you the contact information of our finance partner. Did you get that resolved? Please let our team member know when you speak with them. In regard to new technology from Eargo, we always tell our clients when we have new devices available and any promotional discount you receive for being a current Eargo client. Lastly, I'm not surprised Beltone was not able to repair Eargo hearing aids given that only Eargo is able to service Eargo hearing aids.

I'm happy with Eargo, It's just that I can't get the things that go my ears big enough so that they don't slip out. I have to push them back in about a dozen times a day. They sent me more, but it still doesn't help. I still need bigger ones.

I liked that with Eargo, I didn't have to fool with in-person dealing with them. They got an upfront payment, and then they're taking the rest of it out of my account once a month. So, it allows me to have them.

If I had to pay for them on the phone, I wouldn't be able to. I like that option. I've only had my hearing aids for a month or so, and they seem to be great.

I looked at Eargo hearing aids a few years ago and they were way too expensive, so I didn't consider them. They weren't covered by insurance as well.

Then I had a friend call me and said, "Hey, they've got a new program where they're covering the hearing aids for federal employees. You might wanna look at it." I went back and looked at them again and sure enough, they had this program. I decided to get them.

Eargo's customer service is really great. They got a great website, too. The information's on there, and you're assigned an audiologist who calls you and talks to you about the hearing aids that's been delivered.

If there are any questions about any issues about taking care of them, using them, adjusting them, they walk me through it.

I was really happy that I was able to talk to someone that was knowledgeable and could help me, especially with adjusting them and learning how to adjust them.

The hearing aids have been really great. It's life changing. This is my fourth pair of hearing aids and each one of them had issues and they never quite work right.

My Eargo are the first ones I've ever had that fit totally inside the ear and don't have the feedback that you get when you wear hearing aids. The technology is really pristine. It's above the rest because they're so small.

The only drawback is that you can't sync them. They don't have Bluetooth capability. But the reason why they're so small is they don't have Bluetooth built in. So it's kind of a trade off. But Bluetooth doesn't work well anyway. Most of them don't sync very well.

I've had three other pairs and they were horrible. If you go by a microwave or any kind of waves, it can mess up the sync. With my Eargo, I can hear better than I've ever heard.

I had $8,000 hearing aids before from Phonak, and they suck so bad and I constantly had to take them out. My Eargo hearing aids are not taken out. I forget about them. I don't have that horrible feedback in them.

They're very accurate. I could hear my husband talking to me behind me and before, I couldn't hear him walking up on me. I'd be scared all the time because I could not hear people walking towards me or people talking to me when my back was turned. Now I hear all that.

In fact, I hear too much because there are some things I don't wanna hear. It's really a great product and I'm looking forward to seeing them expand and come up with new stuff and accessories.

I've been singing their praises. I called our federal employee IT person and told them they need to tell to their employees that they're offering this. I tell others, "Look, you can get these hearing aids practically free and there's a really great technology."

Someone told me about Eargo and I kinda went with my gut. I wasn't so much interested in going through some series of audiology, meetings or appointments. It seemed like an easy solution. Eargo's customer service has been really nice and very good.

On my first time with my hearing aids, it's been awkward. It's just unusual to have something in your ear. I've had a few issues with ringing and with feedback, which was challenging for me. I kinda get the feeling it takes a little bit of time to get used to it.

I've been pleased with the product to a point. It's tough because there are four settings on it. What the settings don't do for me is that when it amplifies, it amplifies everything for me.

So not only do I hear the person I'm speaking with, but I hear the fan in the background, and I hear the background noise better.

It would be optimal if there is a product out there that could create a condition where you could hear specific things and kind of delete some of the others. But it's been a good experience to date.

Sometimes people would be asked to repeat something three times for me. I did a lot of research on the various types of hearing aids, the amplifiers, the outside of the ear and the inside of the ear.

You always wanna get a financial break someplace, but with these things, I decided with the customer reviews and the support group. I felt that Eargo was the way to go, and I haven't been disappointed.

When I called the line, and I was talking to the gentleman, he said that the best one would be beneficial for talking to larger groups. I went with the Neo and it turned out super. The cost was good. We paid about 2,500 for it, and they were on $400 decrease.

I've had my Neo for a couple of weeks and I can hear conversations in a room over just as clear as I can hear conversation sitting somebody next to me. The better you clean them, the better they work. I clean them every day.
