Lively Hearing Aids Features

Lively Hearing Aids
Lively Hearing Aids

Lively Hearing Aids are available in two models, the battery powered LiNX 3D 5 and the rechargeable Linx Quattro 5. This is the basic model in ReSound’s LiNX 3D line of hearing aids. These aids have fewer features than many other devices but work well as a starter hearing aid, or a solution for those who don’t need a complicated or high-tech hearing aid.

Lively Hearing Aids are behind-the-ear devices with a small, nearly invisible receiver that fits in the ear canal. They are available in seven colors: gray, beige, light blonde, medium blonde, dark brown, black and white. Lively recommends choosing the color based on your hair color if you want your hearing aids to be discreet.

Lively Hearing Aids are designed for those with mild to severe bilateral hearing loss. The volume gets adjusted via the mobile app. Those who have profound hearing loss need hearing aids with more features.

Hearing aids can improve the quality of life for many seniors. Unfortunately, Medicare does not cover hearing aids, and the cost of hearing aids is often a challenge for seniors. Lively Hearing Aids start at $1,850 a pair. The price is about one-third the cost of most hearing aids on the market.

Along with two hearing aids, you get a mobile app, carrying case, manual and two years of remote care. These hearing aids also include a three-year manufacturer’s warranty and loss and damage protection. Lively offers payment plans for those who prefer not to pay the full price upfront. If you have a high credit score, you will pay around $77 per month.

I have had hearing aids for 4 years. I paid $4100 for my first pair at a local doctor's office. Two years ago my wife got hearing aids at a different doctor's office, also cost $4100. I noticed some additional hearing loss and was not really pleased with my local doctor. I liked the one my wife went to better but I considered trying an online sevice due to be lower cost.

In my search, I found that Lively sells the exact same hearing aid that my wife has but for only $1649. So I decided to give them a try. Super pleased! They have been very professional and the hearing aids are working perfectly. I have had one Zoom meeting with ah audiologist and have a second scheduled. During the first meeting, she made a slight adjustment and gave me a detailed description of what and how my new hearing aids work. I am particularly pleased with the app that allows me to adjust them. Great job at a very reasonable price.

Doctors are great, service is great and the hearing aids are real and programmed to your hearing loss. If they say your audio gram supports the use of the these, buy them. These will give you your life back to you. Amazing phone calls and music streaming. Try them please.

At first, the app was not connecting with the earpieces (apple did an update that messed up the connection). Lively found a workaround and then maybe a month later everything started connecting seamlessly. Without the app, the system is limited. But with it, I am able to participate in group settings (parties) and not have the background noise be a problem. They are so comfortable that I have accidentally worn them in the shower, That freaked me out, but replace the battery and use a light blow-drying action and all was well.

This review is born out of a first swim of the season, yep I forgot to remove them, in fact, they sat at the bottom of the pool for 2 hours before I noticed and retrieved them. I removed the batteries and did a little blow-dry and left them without batteries for 3 days. Yesterday I loaded them and they worked!! This is day 2 after the reload and so far so good. Waterproof??

They advertise 3 day delivery. I was told they would be here Tuesday, No. Wednesday no hearing aids. Thursday no hearing aids. Called and cancelled. If service starts like this it will only get worse. Waiting on response to cancellation.

I quickly read article & it appears Lively is an internet vendor but, here in Manhattan they have a walk-in audiologist. I got an appointment within 24 hrs. After friendly testing I picked up mine in 48 hrs. Doctors & customer service are very helpful and friendly and can be reached by phone, email, internet consultation or text.

Technology allows them to make fine-tuning remote adjustments on your aids almost immediately and they are very thorough on follow-up as well, sometimes sending parts or accessories (overnite) if needed. I went to them because of price $1650/pr but, found there was also a 2 year warranty as well. I have been amazingly satisfied and considering the price of other units think that this is a win/win/win situation.

You get what you pay for! I tried the cheaper ones offered on Facebook, I wasted a lot of money! Then I came across Lively. Yes they cost a little more but what a difference! I’ve had them just over two weeks and I forget I have them in! The quality of hearing is unbelievable. Also their response to any questions has been super and look forward to our next quality control meeting on the 28th. I highly recommend this product!

From the very first contact with Lively I have received outstanding service and results. When I received my hearing aids I was very pleased with them. This is my fourth set of hearing aids (first from your company) I have paid as much as $5800.00 per pair. My Lively hearing are great, easy to control and a joy to wear. Attention after the sale by Lively has been very welcomed.

After my diagnosis of hearing impairment, I searched for price, value, & support as I shopped for my hearing devices. Finding the ListenLively.com page and talking with their support staff, compared their price in comparison to several others "aids", I was comfortable with my final decision to purchase from Lively. Pre-programming, fit, and comfort was nearly spot on.

I preferred a different ear piece which several are included. Every visit online with the audiologist answered any question I had, and if it is warranted can fine tune my devices through my smart phone. Hearing aid technology has changed, Lively helped me understand and ease my mind about what is n amazing enhancement to my hearing health!
