I lost my very expensive, audiologist fitted hearing aids a year ago when my luggage was lost during a trip. I hesitated spending a lot of money again for a new set since I was getting by without any real problems. After a social function where I found myself asking people to repeat what they had said a lot, I decided to get new aids. After doing some research I read about the newly FDA approved over the counter hearing aids. Cost wise I found that most of them were much, much cheaper than the ones I got at the audiologist. I decided to buy the Eargo-5 Self-Fitting hearing aids at Best Buy. I had some doubts about the effectiveness of the devices at improving hearing, but found that they were just as good as the ones I had before. For me the big advantage of the Eargo-5 aids is that they fit IN the ear completely. The devices I had before were over the ear and they were constantly getting loose when I talked, chewed, or turned my head. Every time a put on or took off a hat I had to readjust them. I have had the Eargo-5 aids for a couple of months now and I am totally satisfied with them.

Theses are the best hearing aids ever. I have had the traditional ones which have the pick up on the outside of the ear so if you wear glasses they are always making contact which is very loud. So when I saw the EARGOs on display at Best Buy I said I have to try those so I called the number right there on display and a human answered. There support is second to none. These devices are so awesome and powerful great sound several levels of volume. They are easy to use

Good sound, somewhat difficult to adjust the volume which produces metallic tones

They suit my needs because I need hearing aids that fit inside the ear and don't wrap around (due to wearing glasses).

battery last about 12 hours before recharge so if you get up at 7 am at 9pm usually get low battery warning
