EarCentric EasyCharge Rechargeable Hearing Aids for Seniors and Adults, Pair with Desktop Charger and Portable Charging Case, Behind-the-Ear BTE OTC Hearing Aids with Noise Reduction, Beige

5 stars — Game changer for my dadI took my dad to the ear doctor and he needed hearing aids. As most people know, hearing aids aren't covered by insurance, or barely covered. We were looking at $1,000+ for a decent pair .I put my dad's hearing test results into ChatGPT and was matched with Earcentric. I can't tell you how amazing these are. He can actually hear us now. No more frustration, no more loud TV, no more shouting just to have a conversation. They’re rechargeable, great size for his ear canals.The cost, the comfort, and the personalization are incredible. Your product is amazing - thank you so much. We'll definitely be back.

I bought these hearing aids for my 91 year old mother as a back up while waiting for the repair of her more expensive model from another company. She prefers to only wear one in her right ear , but if the charge wears out before the day is over , will switch to the left one for a while. We are thrilled with the performance of this very affordable and practical device. The hybrid tip is comfortable and does not cause feedback with too much airflow. I do notice that I have to speak a little more slowly and distinctly when she is wearing this device as opposed to her more expensive one, but the ease of use, comfort, and squeaky free experience is already making her think of pitching her other hearing aid in the trash.

The EarCentric EasyCharge is very easy to use, clean, charge, and adjust. It comes with a few different tips and tubes and cleaning supplies as well as a cute case for travel and a simple charger.There is no app to load on your phone. Power and volume controls are on the aids.Customer support is good.These aids work well for my age appropriate high frequency hearing loss.

This is a truly amazing product. I can hear conversations again, even in noisy environments. Switching between the two modes is so easy once you get used to. My ears are extremely sensitive, but these devices are light and extremely comfortable. i would not hesitate to recommend to anyone.If you wear eyeglasses, then here's a tip. With your glasses off, put the hearing aids and then slide your glasses underneath them. then you won't change any volume or settings.

This is perfect for a first time hearing aids wearer. Easy instructions and clear sound.

My adult high functioning but special needs son has worn hearing aides since childhood, and needed new ones. Previously they were provided by MediCal, and we were never fully satisfied with them. These work very well. The written and video instructions made it easy to learn to recharge and to use them. My son remarked that the "feedback" squealing noises that used to bother him with his old hearing aides, are not here with these. He is delighted with them. He is still learning to use the little fine prong that fits inside the ear to stabilize the part that fits into the ear canal, but that will come. Overall, for the price, we are both extremely satisfied with them.

I've been trying to save the $1900 to buy the Phillips hearing aids from Costco. I had tried them while I was in the store and I was truly amazed on what & who I could hear (at the same time)!Life keeps getting in the way and Joe Biden certainly isn't helping me reduce my monthly expenses to make it easier to buy the hearing aids!I figured for $200 I'll try these, if they stink like the others I tried from Amazon I could just return them.I actually like these. I can "hear" the difference between using them and not using them.These are NOT as good as the set for $1900, but it's hard not to appreciate the benefits of having them for just 1 tenth of the cost.It's hard to leave an honest review with the good & the bad because these are so affordable (in comparison).These are much smaller than the Phillips brand, which is also a nice surprise.The dislikes are pretty few also:I can turn the up, but that also increases the white noise, not just isolating voices.I can't determine if there's any difference in clarity or crispness between the 2 program modes, they sound the same to me.I work in the automotive service industry, not as a technician. I am subjected to an array of sounds every day at work. I hear multiple people having various conversations and need to be able to discern when someone is speaking just to me, but with all the other people still talking.I hear the vehicles pulling into the building and the motorized garage doors, the phones ringing and so on.These hearing aids can help me (unfortunately) hear them better.There's no filtering of sounds with these hearing aids, some sounds are perfect while other sounds are choppy and it feels like I'm being bombarded with all the sounds with no depth perception.Somehow the Phillips hearing aids were better at filtering noises/sounds. When I had them on in Costco, I was able to eListen to a conversation between a manager and 2 employees while I was standing next to open top refrigeration units that were also making noise.I was more than 4 feet away from those staff members and I could hear every word without worrying about the refrigeration units clashing.These Amazon hearing aids aren't as sophisticated, but for $200 I can lower the TV volume and lower the car stereo volume BOTH by nearly half and still hear them as well as I did without the hearing aids.So, I guess these budget friendly amplifiers are best suited for typical home life, not a busy, often chaotic work place.On a typical day, I keep the volume at the lowest setting & sometimes that's too loud and other times it's perfect.

UPDATE #2 10.28.24 Shortly after my first update, the hearing aid stopped charging at all. I jumped through their hoops to send it back, I paid for the shipping to send back. A month or two went by, I figured I was just out a hearing aid. No updates, no nothing. Then out of the blue I get an email they are ready to send a replacement, all I need to do is send them $15 bucks for them to ship it back to me. So, I pay almost $200 for these things, one of them lasts from Feb to Aug, I am made to jump through hoops to send it back and I pay the shipping, then they want me to pay to get the thing back? Not to mention, it only cost me $5 bucks to send it to them, and they want $15? I wasn't going to pay it but, I finally did, I need "something" to get my by for the time being. I was going to rate them 1 star after this, but I'll put it at 2 since, the hearing aids do sound better then some of the other OTC I have tried, but once these aids stop working I will move on to another company.UPDATE: So I purchased this in Feb 2024, mid August 2024 I noticed one hearing aid seemed to take longer and longer to charge, till it stopped charging completely. It can sit in the charger for 2 days and barely holds a charge for 1-2 hrs. I have not dropped, damaged, etc the hearing aids, have kept them clean, and tried cleaning the ports and switching which port I used on the charger. They say they stand by their product but there is no way here on amazon that I can find to contact them. I tried going to their website, when I try sending a support ticket I get some message about rehcapta in red letters, and it doesn't appear it went through. I tried their chat option it just goes to a bot. I have a speech problem so calling them out, I guess I'm out the $200 bucks on this. I had referred my sister and her husband to this brand and they got the aids as well and they bought them around the same time I did, so far theirs is holding a charge, but both of them have had issues with the domes coming off in their ears. I have dropped my 5 star rating to 3, as I feel the battery should hold more than a few months after purchase and when you do need to get ahold of them the company isn't too easy about it, at least for me.Original Review:I have been hard of hearing most of my life, so I have been through my share of prescription hearing aids, OTC ones, and even amplifiers. After going through a few different types and brands, and hating them, I bought these based on the reviews, and I am happy to say, the reviews weren't wrong. These have been great so far. I am very happy with my purchase. For the price, can't go wrong with these. Here's what I like:1. Sound quality - these have been the best so far that I have had that allow me to hear speech as clearly as possible, my hearing is pretty bad and no hearing aid is going to allow you to hear 100% perfect but with my other aids I would say I could follow about 40-50% of a conversation, with these I would say I can hear 80-90% of what is said (without hearing aids I have to lip read, I can't hear what someone is saying even if I am right next to them and I have to use CC on tv). I have also heard things for the first time with these that I have not heard with my other aids in the past. Also some hearing aids I've had in the past have issues with cutting in and out, so far haven't had that problem with these. Some OTC aids can have a pretty low volume making it hard to hear much, or they will have awful feedback if you turn them up any. Earcentric has plenty of volume, and any feedback experience can be fixed by choosing correct type and size of domes.2. Surround sound - now this one caught me off guard. I have always hated the fact when wearing hearing aids its often difficult to tell where the sound is coming from. Some brands I might be able to tell if it was left or right but that was about it. With these I can naturally tell in any direction where the sound is coming from....I LOVE THAT lol.3. Rocker switch volume - anyone who has worn hearing aids will tell you the little dials can be a pain. If you accidentally scratch near your ear you may hit it, sometimes if you don't move them just right they crackle or cut the sound out completely, and if you wear glasses sometimes they will hit the dial. I hate the dials lol. These have rocker switches....SO much easier and no worries about accidentally bumping them and even if you somehow managed to do that they are easier to readjust than the dials are.4. Comfort - they are very comfortable, and that is a big deal for hearing aids, if they hurt your not gonna want to wear them.Battery life - no complaints, they charge as they should and hold the charge as expected.TIPS:I found that my right ear accepts a small dome better, and my left took a med one. When I tried to use a small dome in my left ear the hearing aid had alot of feedback (squealing). Moving up one size fixed that.I pretty much scanned the manual as I know the drill, worn various kinds for years. But I didn't notice them mentioning this in the manual so one thing to be mindful of is when you change out the dome either to clean them or change the size, make sure to push them on properly. The way I know on any hearing aid the dome is on is by running my finger over the hole opening after I push it on, if its very smooth and I don't feel a slight ridge or lip, I know it didn't get on all the way.As with any hearing aid, you'll have to learn to get used to how they sound. Aids are like new shoes, regardless of brand you have to give it time for things to start sounding more natural to you. At first things may sound "tinny" or "loud". I didn't have that issue much with these as I'm used to wearing hearing aids, but I did notice at first when I heard running water it sounded like crackling paper or crackling fire, but after wearing them for a bit that went away as I became more used to them.I am very happy with my purchase. Even talked my sister into ordering these.
