Eargo Review

The best hearing aid I have ever worn! Best quality, and customer service! Highly recommended! The last hearing aid I had was just an amplifier, and wasn't very good quality.. The Eargo SE is a game changer! Sounds are natural and very clear!

I purchased the Eargo 7’s about 30 days ago. Life changing acquisition. Almost invisible to wear. Very easy to set up and customize. Mode options that allow you to fine tune for different environments is very useful. Outstanding customer service. Good price for state of the industry technology. Highly recommend.

After having the Eargo 6 for a couple of years and liking them, I decided to order the Eargo 7 model. They are definitely a cut above the Eargo 6 model. They are easier to get adjusted to your personal settings. They have better sound with less "chirping" feedback noise. I have moderate hearing loss that makes it hard to hear soft voices when talking to others and movies that have the actors talking low. It's a game changer for me. They are affordable and I would recommend them highly.

This is my second purchase of Eargos. I was very satisfied with my first Eargo purchase and when it was time to replace them it was an easy choice to stay with Eargo. I purchased the new Eargo, model SE and the improvements over my first model were outstanding. Easier to charge and clean and the sound match program is very cool and works great. The Eargo app is excellent and easy to use. The program and volume controls really make a difference. The best thing is they really have helped my hearing. I know it will never be perfect but is markedly better. Just a recent example, we went out with a group to dinner and the restaurant was very busy and loud.

This would normally mean I would not be able to follow the conversation with lots of "huns" which is never good. Now I was able to set the Eargos to "restaurant" on my phone and was able to be part of the conversation! I am very happy with my new Eargos and can easily recommend them to anyone needing help with their hearing. The service is outstanding and all the help you could need is easily available to get set up and start hearing better.

Half the price of working with a doctor or clinic. And more convenient because you can buy online and get help by phone. I have access to audiologists and excellent customer service for the lifetime of the product. Best of all, the Eargos are nearly invisible and adeptly improve my hearing.

Eargo 7 hearing aids have had an amazingly positive impact on my life. At 76, my once acute hearing had declined dramatically. I went to the audiologist and was told I had moderate to severe hearing loss. Research verified my fear that the cost for a personally designed aid was too far over budget so I went online. I didn’t want an aid that fit over my ear and searched in-canal aids. Not very many choices but Eargo’s caught my eye due to size, color and reviews. I had a 45 day trial period but fell in love with these high tech aids the very first week. I have had my Eargo’s for a year and can’t imagine being without them. Company supports exceeds expectations. I would highly recommend this aid to acquaintances, friends and family.

Eargos Fits in ear so no interference with glasses or masks and if you're a little vain like me, most won't notice. Rechargeable too! I can custom program using the App. Settings for restaurant, meetings, normal by tapping if you want to adjust.

I've been wearing the Eargo 7's for about 2 months. I'm 63 and they are my first hearing aids. I had no idea how bad my hearing had gotten. I absolutely love the custom zones. In addition to the normal setting, I have mine set for "Restaurant, TV and Music." I was stunned when I used the 'Music' setting to listen to a very expensive stereo system. I felt the music took me back to what it sounded like in high school. Yeah, they are expensive, but they are worth every penny.

I love my Eargo 7's! I'm amazed that they help me to hear everyone at the table in a noisy restaurant, which is what frustrated me (and my family!) before I wore hearing aids. They are very comfortable, I can happily wear them all day when I need to. Battery lasts best part of a full day before needing a recharge. I wish it was possible to replace the battery, because as it stands I'm looking at buying a replacement set in about 3 years' time, but all things considered these are a miracle for the price. My family didn't even know I was wearing them at first, they are almost invisible! Also, their pre AND after-sales support is great too. Buy with confidence.

I was in radio broadcasting for over 45 years. Wore headphones for most of that time. Needless to say, it took its toll on my hearing. I wanted something to help improve my hearing without looking like I was wearing bulky hearing aids. Saw Eargo 7 hearing devices. Thought I would try them out, because they were basically invisible, And were rechargeable. Buying them was best decision I've made. Totally programmable, and controllable with the smartphone app. I have had them for over 8 months now, and totally enjoy the results I have received. Plus, there are no batteries to change or buy. You should give them a try.

If you have suffered hearing loss and are tired of asking people to repeat what they have said. If family members are becoming increasingly frustrated with having to repeat everything, they say, you may be a candidate for Eargo 7. I have personally used them for over a year now, and they have been terrific. As a bonus, they are nearly invisible, which is imperative for me. I did not want clunky outside the ear hearing aids, and these fit the role wonderfully. I encourage you to give them a try, the return policy is very generous, so there is no risk in the event they do not help you. Good luck! Dr. **

As a newcomer to hearing aids, I researched the new OTC varieties. I was interested in an “in the ear device” and wanted one that was “self fitting”. I read about and decided to go with the EARGO 7. These were more expensive than many other OTC devices. But they had what I wanted and they also came with hearing specialists serving as support. I have not been disappointed. At first I worried that my ear canals were too small for the devices, but my hearing support person was outstanding in offering suggestions to me, and was even able to modify the info coming into my particular devices based on my comment to her regarding high pitched sounds I was hearing. She gave suggestions and concrete methods regarding inserting the devices. After this, I have been very satisfied and comfortable with my “new” ears!

Hey there! I wanted to have a little chat with you about something pretty important that I've been consistently talking about in my Eargo product reviews. It's all about how Eargo has had a profound impact on my life and brought about some major improvements. I genuinely believe that connecting with our friends and the world around us is key to our overall well-being, and Eargo has played a huge role in helping me stay involved as an active CEO, even in my 70s. And let me tell you, as I head into retirement, I have full confidence that Eargo will keep on being effective in the new year of 2024.

Now, being a proud USC alumni with MS and PhD degrees, I always keep a close eye on the exciting advancements happening in the fields of science and management at my alma mater. During one of my regular searches, I stumbled upon a fascinating soundbite that I think you'll find interesting and useful. Dr. Janet **, an assistant professor at USC's Keck School of Medicine and a talented otolaryngologist, shared a study conducted at USC. And guess what? The study showed an incredible 24% decrease in the risk of mortality for people who use hearing aids. That's seriously amazing and really highlights how important these devices are.

On a related note, I found it super intriguing that over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids have proven to be just as effective in making a positive impact. It really goes to show how accessible and impactful these devices can be. Oh, and just in case you're interested, I've included the article link below for you to check out: **

To start with, the most important thing first, Eargo works! I’m old, (If you consider 87 old). This is my third set of Eargos. Each set has been wonderful. Which is why when they come out with a new model, the Eargo7, I was in line to purchase.

I’m sure I will say nothing that either their ads or other reviewers have not said. But the things I want to emphasize about the devices themselves is they are small, they are easy to insert, they are easy to maintain, and most importantly, they work. The second thing, which is very close to being an essential for me, is the Customer Service. It would be impossible for me to rate their customer service more highly. I have been a customer for many years. Every encounter I have had with an Eargo representative has been a positive one. They treat you as a human being and as a valued customer. Never once have I been treated as the proverbial “little old lady”. Yes, I am without a doubt an Eargo fan for life.

Foundationally, seems like a great product. I am having a challenge as my tinnitus appears to be exacerbated by the use of the hearing aids. So, yes, I hear better but the next day after use the tinnitus seems worse which also makes the hearing worse. I am experimenting with use, time, volume and settings. I would like to not return them, but I need some more time to attempt to find a method wherein the use of the product does not worsen the overall hearing. Wish me luck.

I want to keep them, but if I find that I just can't use them without worsening my overall hearing I may have to return them. I will appreciate any and all suggestions to help with this situation. I know the tinnitus thing is very difficult to deal with and again, the product seems fine. All for now.

Still getting adjusted. Changing between venues is a small issue. I am having troubles keeping the devices in my ears. When I push them back in, the venue changes in the device I’ve touched. If I do it on the app, it is great.

I really like the CIC aids. They have a broad dynamic range that is easily adjusted. The app is great and the charger is as well. I've been running it off of a back-up battery and it uses very little juice. Nifty system! The company support has been very good.

My only concern, which is substantive, is the fit in my ears. I lost a sample when I was trying them out and yesterday the left aid came out of my ear while I was working outside. Fortunately, I found it right away. I've been inserting them as instructed but they tend to rotate.

I find the threads inside my ear sometimes and the left one seems to work its way out of the ear canal at times when I am active. I've tried all the petals - the medium closed petals seem the best for my ears and are the most stable.

Overall, I'm pretty satisfied but if I know I'm going to be physically active, especially outdoors, I take aids out so I can't lose them.

Company is very easy to work with - customer friendly, excellent customer service and support, knowledgeable customer interface, great customer follow-up. High tech product, where all the produce attributes and nuances have been thought through.

The hearing aids work well with the exception of the app. I can change programs by double tapping my earlobes but I can't do anything with the app. I've obtained a list of iPhones and Androids which are compatible with the app from one of your representatives and my phone isn't on it.

Had you made this list available at time of purchase I could have planned on buying a new phone or I could have decided on another choice of hearing aids. Now my only choice is to buy a new phone.

Very good product. I like my hearing aids because they work well, are almost invisible and do not require batteries. They charge well overnight on the compact charger which also holds a charge so you can leave for the weekend and not take the cord.

I'm still working on finding the right setting. Being patient though, my continued focus areas are outside in the wind and using the phone. The screeching is very annoying! I may need to call for help if the problems continue.

Excellent for hearing and quality of the product. I am having problems with the fit on my left ear. I can not leave Eargo in my ear for more than 3 to 4 hours and then it hurts to remove it. Any suggestions on how to help my left ear?

So far, excellent! Three observations: Tapping on Eargo's to change programming is useless. Cell phone interface is great with one exception. When the program is changed, often only one ear responds.

Consistency in response is very important to instill confidence that everything is working properly. Proper placement in the ear canal is a little difficult. More detailed videos on techniques for insertion would probably be helpful.

During my onboarding, I was instructed to try inserting with the removal strand at the top of the ear rather that at the bottom. Seems to work better, but I need more practice. Positive reinforcement that the Eargos have been properly seated in the charger would be helpful.

I slipped up once and had to go a day with only one Eargo working. My problem, but positive reinforcement such as an led being displayed might have been helpful. And another observation: I can now hear the audible warning regarding lane changes.

I had a red light in the side mirror to warn me, but I did not know that there was an audible alarm. Such alarms should probably be sounded using a lower frequency. (Put a safety warning in your advertisement as to why people like me need to invest in Eargos.) Thanks for making a phenomenal product, Jim.

I liked what I read that's produced by Eargo. I sometimes use the Seniorly website and they seem to recommend it well. I've had a very erratic beginning, but that's not their fault.

I had ordered the hearing aids, knowing I was coming home from vacation and so glad that I would have them and get to start right away. I get home, and I developed Influenza A. So, there were two-plus weeks taken off right there. Then, I had two family deaths and I had to go to the hospital.

They've accommodated me. Originally, they said, "Well, hey, we'll just add on a couple of weeks at the end here so that you have the trial period for longer." Today, I had a phone appointment with them. It went very well and I said I'm going to set up a second one in two weeks.

That seems to be working well. They are a Tennessee company so the hours that they're available are fewer for those who are on the West Coast, but with the appointment system, that's working out well. You can get in touch with them by text and other ways, too. They've accommodated me very well.

As far as the hearing aids, I had gotten their samples back before the end of the year of '22 because I wanted to see how I would feel with something in my ear and that worked great. They were a free sample and I could see that I could stick them in my ear and feel okay with them.

They're great. I'm a woman, therefore, I am more appreciative than a man that they were not extremely obvious. Also, there are enough appointments in life that we have to go to to be able to use them and get accustomed to them at home, without having to go out for appointments. I really appreciated that aspect.

My hearing aids have a nice little case that I put them in overnight. I carry that little case with me all the time. However, if I feel that I might have to take them out for some reason, then I have something protective to put them into. I don't carry the charger unit with me, but it's also very small. So, that wouldn't be an inconvenience if you were spending the night somewhere. It's really handy.

When I do use the hearing aids, I'm hearing better than when they're not there. So, I'm going to keep working on this.

Just today, I was advised, "Let's try to go longer than the four to six hours. Wear them all day. Put them on in the morning so that your head gets used to hearing sounds you haven't heard for a long time, even though you're a widow and you won't be talking with people oftentimes throughout the day."

Bad experience purchasing Eargo 7 through a local Victra store. I purchased eargo 7’s on April 17, 2023 from Victra Verizon store. There was a problem that could not be resolved with the first set and eargo promptly exchanged for a new set.

There continued to be some problems so I decided to return them well within the 45 day return period. Victra refused to accept the return and eargo would not accept the return either. While eargo tried to work with the Victra store, the issue remains unresolved.

There was a $300 coupon sent by email to me from Eargo for reduced purchase price that Victra said would be honored. It was not, either by eargo or the Victra Verizon store.

I've been seeing the Eargo thing and they had this offer, "We'll send you some dummies and see how you like them in your ear. They won't work, but it cost nothing, and then you throw them out."

So, they sent them to me and they felt the same as the ones I've been using that have the little thing hanging behind the ear type. So, I said, "Let's get the real one." I got the real ones and I liked them. They don't show, and the sound is better than the behind-the-ear ones I've tried.

Another thing I like about the Eargo is they connect to the phone well. Their support has been superb. The only thing I don't like is they don't have Bluetooth. I go to the gym in the morning and I'd love to put in the Eargo and listen to podcasts, but I can't do that.

I've talked to them about that and they said they're too small to also have Bluetooth technology. I like them. My hearing's not terrible, but I have trouble in restaurants and meetings.

I like the look of the Eargo hearing aids, and how they're hidden. Eargo's customer service team was good. They made sure everything was good with the Eargo and me and they were really attentive to any problems I had.

As far as the hearing aids, they're comfortable. I can't feel they're in there. They work well. I can hear a lot better.

My Eargo is working great. I got the Eargo 7. I don't feel it at all once I get it in. I put them in usually in the mornings and take them out late in the evening right before I go to bed.

I've gotten some other hearing aids before and it was a horrible experience, but Eargo has all been fine. I appreciated them telling me what the long-term costs were going to be and I thought it was all good. My hearing aids are good. I'm very pleased that they work.

The people from Eargo were really good to deal with. They called two weeks later and wondered how everything was going, and what they could do. They've been really good about it. Then, even after the 30 days were up, they still called and said, "Well, is there anything we can do for you?"

As far as the hearing aids, the quality is pretty good. I am still getting used to them. I don't wear them all the time because I work and I don't want to take a chance of damaging them. It works out well.

For over-the-counter hearing aids, they're a little bit more on the expensive side than the other ones. I bought a pair of the cheaper ones and you do get what you pay for. So, I felt like the inexpensive ones don't work out well. You couldn't really adjust them.

Where with these Eargo hearing aids, there are adjustments in them and different settings. When you push a different setting, you can just tap on the side of your ear to do that. That works quite well. Then, if you do need to go in to your app, you can change some things in your app, too.

The hearing aids do take a little while to get used to but then once I got used to them, I found myself in the shower with them in. A lot of times, people say, "Oh, yeah, you can take them six feet underwater."

Eargo said, "Yeah, if you do make a mistake, get in the shower, and have them in, just stop, take them out, set them on the counter, and then dry them off." So, that's what I did and they work just fine.

I love Eargo. They're wonderful. The customer service reps were very helpful. I liked that my hearing aids were not the thing that goes behind my ear.

The last time I bought hearing aids was probably six years ago and they were the kind that went behind my ears and they were like $4,500. These Eargo hearing aids were like half the price and they went right in my ear rather than having that behind my ear. So, I liked them very much.

I've been telling people about Eargo. One of the other things that I really like is that it gave me the opportunity to keep dialing them in. I could do the soundcheck over and over until I got them right. I really appreciate that I could do that myself rather than having to go back in and have it done.

The microphone cap fell off. I found the cap on the floor. They seem to move around a lot in my ears. I have been trying different size petals to try and find the right fit.

I do hear better, and my tinnitus seems to have gone down a little. It's a little bit of work though. It takes a while to adjust to these new things to do in my daily routine.

My Eargo hearing aids worked very well. The issue that I had is that I have very sensitive ears. I get ear infections really bad, and I started to get ear infections whenever I put them in. They were great, but the ear infections got so bad that I couldn't use them.

When I was wearing the hearing aids, I didn't have an issue with my tinnitus. I was actually able to sleep for the first time wearing those things.

Eargo's customer service reps were very great. They were very informative when they called me up and helped me set them up. I was like, "Oh, my God, I can hear." I don't hear a constant buzzing ringing in my ears all the time. I just wish that they had Bluetooth capability.

I liked that the Eargo hearing aids were almost invisible. I don't have them any longer though. They made my ears itch so badly. After about 5 or 10 minutes, I had to remove them. I'm allergic to latex. So for some reason, I think that was part of it because after I wore them for a while, I couldn't focus on hearing.

I just wanted to dig them out. Also, I didn't like that there was a lot of echo from my movements. If I were to make a different noise with my mouth, it was almost like there was a big echo in my ear. They didn't work for me.

I am very happy with the entire experience. From the salesperson, Todd, to the welcoming call person, Amber and the product.

The product is very easy to use, once explained to me and all of the videos I have received are very informative. I would recommend this product to anyone who has the same hearing problem which I have.

Compared to my old hearing aid I like the small size of Eargo and I like that I can change programs from my iphone. The update was easy and fast. The periodic tips are helpful. It is something I would tell my friends and other relatives who use hearing aids. I am very happy that I switched to new technology.

My Eargo hearing aids improve my hearing if I remember to put them in. The cost and the quality of the hearing aids are balanced.

My Eargo hearing aids improved my hearing in most cases, but not in all. They could improve the range of adjustment. The overall customer support is very good.

I sent my Eargo hearing aids back, but when I had them, you couldn't tell they were in the ears. They were wonderful. They're the best thing I've had so far as hearing.

It couldn't get any better until you got in a crowd. I play the bass guitar in church, and they have four settings and I had them usually on one, but when the people would get clapping and singing and all that, they go one, two, three, four. So, they did the opposite of what I needed. If it had stayed on one instead of changing themselves, I'd still have them.

Staff are kind and helpful, hearing devices are amazing and better than most I’ve tried. Still struggling with taking them out. I would suggest making the removal tabs a little longer. Still learning how to adjust them in different environments but still happy with them. Thanks Eargo.

Still needs a little tweaking but I believe with working with my rep we can work through the small issues. So far the customer service and communications are better than expected. The (7) model is much better than the last pair of hearing aids I purchased a few years ago for $6,000.00.

I needed something to pick up some noise I didn't hear. I went with the Eargo hearing aid which isn't the cheapest. It's performing great. I really like it a lot. It's easy to get it in and out of my ear. It's easy to change the levels on it.

The only thing I'm having problems with is the charger. I have to have it in a certain way for the lights go white instead of red. I just pull them out and put them back in until they stay white.

The hearing aids have made my life a lot better. I don't have to say, "Huh or What" all the time. I can hear the TV. Before, I had the TV almost in full blast. I don't have to do that. It's relieving my wife from that. When I go down the street, I can hear birds. It really enhanced my hearing a lot.

I had trouble hearing in a crowd. There was a lot of noise and I'm not really understanding when they were talking to me. I looked into Eargo and studied it and got to talk to their people, and everybody was really nice and supportive. I wanted to be sure I could have an app on my phone where I could turn it down or up.

My hearing aid has that phone app where you can go, and it also has a notice that the volume is too low. It also says when to clean it and just remind you to keep your maintenance up on your hearing aids. So, that's like they're still connected. They just didn't sell a product. They're still making sure everything's going well.

My hearing aid is really good and simple. It is very comfortable. It took a while to get used to it, but once I got used to it and just put it in there, I'm fine. It's helped me. I'm a pastor and I preach and teach, and I can hear responses. I can hear people commenting and talking. So, it's helping me positively with my ministry and day-to-day things.

Everything that I wanted was what Eargo has, and I love that about it. I didn't hear as much as I hear with the Eargo now. I love it. I hear every little sound. I have the Eargo 7. Even if it's in the lowest setting, I will still be able to hear. It feels like I have nothing in my ears, too. That's how smooth it is.

The Eargo 7 functions in everything perfectly the way I want it. I feel very lucky. I feel like living life to the fullest back again. Get Eargo. That's the best thing that ever came out. With all of them that I'd been shopping for hearing aids, the Eargo is the best.

I got the first Eargo set a couple of months ago and couldn't get them connected. So, they sent me another set. I sent the other one back. The comfort is really hard to get used to because I've never had anything on my ears before. I try to wear them, but it's hard to adjust them.

When I put them in, I can hear myself breathe. I can hear myself cough. It's like it's right in my head. When somebody talks, I can hear them talking really loud, plus other noises. If I walk down my hallway, I can hear every step I make.

I had one person that was keeping in touch with me and then all of a sudden never heard any more from her, and I haven't contacted her either. The last time I contacted her was to tell her that I got the new ones that they had sent me because she was trying to help me. They wouldn't connect.

They kept telling me, "You have two minutes, you have three minutes," and then all of a sudden, it says there was a problem. We kept doing that over and over again. So, she told me that she is putting in for a new set, which she did.

I emailed her and told her that I received them and just trying to get them adjusted. I got them programmed for TV and masks, but I have so much interference. It's almost like somebody is crunching in your ears.

I like that the hearing aids are small. When I first applied for them, no one ever told me that every month, I would have to buy the earpieces. I never knew anything about that.

I had asked the person helping me, "So cleaning them and it says to change them. I only have free sets. How do I change them? And as far as I know, they're different sizes." He said, "Oh, you have to order them." I said, "I didn't know that. I was never told I had to order more."

Overall I like the devices, their size, and comfort. They are far better when it comes to talking on the phone with them vs. the other aids I had. No feedback, no complications in adjusting the sound in order to hear a call.

Only drawback is I'm still trying to get the tapping on the ear for changing programs. I've tried all the ways without success, which keeps me tired to the phone app.. other than that I like them.

I'm not using my Eargo hearing aids anymore. They were more trouble than it was worth by missing the words. They made loud squeaking noises. I just had them set right, then all of a sudden, I turned on a light switch and it would click so loud. They itched. It was constantly in my ear.

Returning them was pretty easy. They said it was a full refund. I haven't gotten the money back yet, but I sent them back about two weeks ago.

To some people, I would recommend Eargo if they had more of a hearing loss than even a minor that it's worth not hearing than all the trouble of the discomfort of wearing them.

Eargo is good. I got the Eargo 6 and I like them. They're definitely helping with my hearing. It's just my hearing is still not as good as I'd like for it to be.

The Eargo sales and customer service team has been excellent. Any time I've got anything, they really answer the phone and they get back with me, or somebody else calls if they can't figure it out.

Impressive customer support experience; I haven’t had any issues. One small thing, my ears itch a bit after wearing the bobs for several hours. I used a trimmer and cleaned the ears with an alcohol solution before using the bobs. I have not tried the other blooms to see if that makes any difference.
