Hearing Aid, Black

I bought these for my wife whose suffering from hearing loss. This is the third hearing aid she's she's had and is by far the best one. Her 1st one cost $600.00 and gave her nothing but trouble. They squealed in her ears intermittently, amplified all the wrong sounds and then broke in less than a year.Then I got her the Avantree PHA15 - OTC Hearing Amplifier Aids with Bluetooth but she disliked those almost instantly. The Bluetooth was confusing as was the 4 modes of operation, it also amplified unwanted noises and the last straw was that they kept cutting out for no reason and cutting back in. they were unnecessarily complicated.So those went back and these (DROWELL EAR Hearing Aids) were chosen and I guess the third time's a charm because this device is great! It turns on automatically when you open the case and turns back off again when you put them away. She just puts them in her ears and they work. Perfect! Simple! No squealing, no amplifying unwanted noises like pages turning or a clock ticking, and the sound is far superior to the $600.00 models.It's only the 1st day with these but she likes them very much and I have a good feeling about them. I'll come back and amend this review if anything happens to warrant it. However, so far, so good. From the unboxing and initial use, I can highly recommend this product.

I'm an experienced hearing aid user. My high-end BTE (behind the ear) hearing aids quit working and decided to take advantage of the OTC hearing aids the FDA now allows. I purposely sought out the ear bud/pod type so that it wouldn't be apparent whether I was listening to music or using a hearing device. These are great when I watch TV. I'm one of "those" old codgers that the family complains about having the TV blasting so I can hear it. With these I can turn the TV down so low that other family members can't hear the sound level - but I can! Pretty cool. I really like the volume control on these, but one the other hand it's annoying when inserting the pods into my ears because you can help but touch the volume control which causes me to need to adjust the sound every time I put them in my ear. By default they save the volume setting from the last time they were worn, but as I say, the volume gets reset when inserting the aids into the ear. Also, you can turn the aids off by holding your finger on the volume for 7 seconds. However, the only way to turn them back on is to insert them into the charging case and removing them again. Not a game breaker, but a tad bit inconveniencing. Also, these things are powerful, they pick up ambient background noise as well as the human voice and TV. Air whooshing in the background, circulating fan noise etc., but in defense of hearing aids this is a common issue that your brain adjusts to after a few weeks. All-in-all, for the price, I would not discourage anyone from choosing these. Would I buy them again. Yep.

If you want to hear a dish put down or glasses clang. This piece of junk picks up the slightest sound from far away and amplifies it in your ear causing further hearing damage! Meanwhile voices are barely heared.They're junk, don't buy them. And it seems I can't return them or get a refund.

2 months ago I suffered sudden sensorineural hearing loss in one ear. I lost 78% of my hearing in that ear, largely in middle range. My other ear already had upper frequency hearing loss from a virus I had decades earlier.After getting quick treatment with steroid ear shots starting within 4 days and continuing weekly for 4 weeks I regained about 40% of my hearing, still a significant loss, with the middle frequency loss seriously distorting voices. My ENT says my hearing may continue to improve SLIGHTLY.I decided to purchase OTC products just to get through my initial weeks of treatment until I could go back to audiologist to get a custom EXPENSIVE hearing aid. First, I bought Apple Airpods. The ability to program audio settings based on your individual hearing loss range solved my problem of phone calls and made listening to music once again a joy. I wish Apple made OTC hearing aids! The Live Listen feature using your phone mic and airpods as kind of makeshift hearing aids isn’t great, however. Echoes and lag are terrible.Next I decided to try these hearing aids which are not programmable but offer great volume amplification at a super low price. And basically look like black airpods. The case recharges the hearing aids 4 times on a charge (like airpods) and the hearing aids can be worn 20 hours at a stretch!These. Were. Gamechangers.Long story short: while I would love programmable hearing aids with this kind of performance, fit and aesthetic style, the noise cancellation and volume increase settings are so good I am happy to use them as I see if my hearing continues to improve. They don’t whistle. They look cool. They are very comfortable. I splashed water on them and they didn’t break. They are easy to use and even with my moderate mid-range hearing loss they make everything understandable, from conversations to movies to speakerphone. And the battery lasts 20 HOURS!!!I love them so much I bought a second backup pair.I believe these easily compare to other amplifier-only OTC hearing aids selling for 3-4 times as much.

Right side of hearing aid they fall out easily and break. Volume goes lower and lower. This is my second pair and had issues with the same side and same problem. It works good at first but after daily use the tend to deteriorate.
