Customer Ratings & Reviews

I've been wearing hearing aids (and Amaz0n hearing amplifiers) 2 different animals, trust me, since 2010. The expensive ones do what they do but strike fear into your wallet and heart when the cats find the new toy or you get caught in a downpour. Maybe even *cough* drop one in the lake. For this price and quality, you have me! I've paid more for products I've had to return. I've had mine since the week they went over the counter, best purchase I've made in the whole 12 years of "officially hard of hearing" the decade before that I just said HUH? a LOT.. picture is a small sample of the last 12 years and another of relative size. 99% of people just think I have in earbuds for my phone.

Great hearing aids better than my $6000 ones I bought

Review for Go Hearing - Go Ultra OTC Hearing Aids - Gray This is the third Over The Counter hearing aid I’ve tried and I have to say, so far, my favorite. They are designed for mild to moderate hearing loss and, as such, check all the boxes for someone like me. First, they are very comfortable to wear (although they take a little getting used to - more on that later). They are extremely lightweight and the clear ear tube coupled with the small in-the-ear portion, make them practically invisible. Second, the electronics containing the microphone and controls sits comfortably behind your ear, out of sight. Third, and I was initially surprised by this, they do not come with an app or a require an analysis of your hearing patterns. Finally, they are rechargeable - lasting as long as 20 hours when not using the Bluetooth feature. I guess the Bluetooth feature is my personal favorite! This kind of connectivity really changes the game for any hearing aids. I can take and make phone calls directly through the hearing aids, which is far superior to trying to amplify a phone call through traditional aids. I can even listen to music or other streaming services, like TV. As mentioned, most OTC hearing aids come with an app and require you to perform a hearing analysis in order to use them. The Go Ultra aids opt for a simpler approach, although it may not be ideal for everyone. They allow 10 volume settings for each ear coupled with four different “hearing profiles” that can be set on each aid. The profiles are: normal, high-frequency loss, low-frequency loss, and general amplification. If you know what kind of loss you have (general, high, or low) you can select that setting for each ear - and they don’t have to be the same. I tried the fourth setting - general amplification - and found it was similar to the normal setting with a little boost to all frequencies. It’s easy to try the different settings at various volumes to find your preferences for each ear. Once you select a setting and volume level for each aid, they remember them the next time you put them on. Ah, putting them on… I mentioned they are light and easy to wear for extended periods. They also take a little practice to put on. The electronics easily clip over the back of you ear and the in-ear portion is also easy to insert and comes with different sized silicone tips in two varieties. The stickler for me was the small silicone “retention wire” that sticks straight out. You need to curl this and flip it into your ear to hold them in place. I make it sound difficult and initially, it is, but with a little practice I’ve gotten better and faster at it. My concern is with people with mobility issues - such as arthritis - I think the retention wire would be problematic for such users. Along these lines, I was disappointed to see the user manual reduced to a size that would fit in the box, with no regard for the extremely small print that results. I would recommend anyone who has trouble reading fine print view the user guide on the gohearing.com website - under support. But overall, these aids have more to recommend them than any I’ve tried. Being rechargeable means not having to change nasty, tiny batteries. Bluetooth, in my mind is essential if you want to use modern cell phones, and the price point is very nice. If you’re considering OTC hearing aids, start with these. They also have a 45 day, full refund return policy if you find they’re not for you. But I’m keeping mine - just saying…

Go Hearing - Go Prime OTC Hearing Aids. Go Hearing’s OTC aid keeps its focus on delivering sound amplification with a fairly simple set of earbuds. Hearing improvement is as immediate as charging up the case, allowing the case to charge the enclosed earbuds, and then inserting the earbuds into my ear canals. I could hear the highly amplified shuffling of pages in the small USER MANUAL in my hands. I’m pretty sure I would have heard a fly’s wings if one had passed nearby. These work as intended, even before I dove into the settings to achieve some customization. SETUP: Before I dive into getting these Go Hearing setup to use, I’d like to draw attention to the need to be patient with these devices and yourself. These seemed too sensitive at first. Even this somewhat simple set of features (volume settings and programs) can seem a bit overwhelming and hard to control. Don’t ry to change too much, or anything at first. These ear buds, and probably other brands, soon become familiar and comfortable. It really takes only a few hours of fully charging the case with the enclosed earbuds to get ready for all day use (30 hours specified). The “DOMES” already attached to the ear buds appear to be medium size, with two more sets for small or larger ear canals. I didn’t test the other sizes yet, but they appear to pull off and re-attach like most other modern earbuds. Just be sure to fully force them onto their posts during replacement. I discovered that the fit necessary for effective use of the Go Prime earbuds was not terribly fussy. These amplify with few extraneous artifact noises with the already attached medium “domes”. Each ear piece is brightly colored with either a RED or BLUE band clearly marked R for right and L for left. Those colored bands are not visible once the ear buds are inserted. In fact, these earbuds are barely visible because the device is very small and sets deeper into the ear than typical earbuds. No worry however, because there is a nearly invisible pull wire to retrieve them from your ear canals. The Go Hearing has individual VOLUME controls for each ear, There are a number of levels (the user manual indicates 8), accessed by quick, distinct presses on the raised VOLUME/PROGRAM button. The instructions confuse the issue by referencing an adjustment tool, but that is NOT an option and appears to refer to a different model, entirely. This same VOLUME/PROGRAM button allows the end user to cycle through 3 different preset equalization programs. However, the process requires the end user to hold down the button for 3-4 seconds. The programs are offered in succession: The first is NORMAL, accompanied by 1 beep, and addresses amplification across the broadest sound spectrum. The second is HIGH FREQUENCY, accompanied by 2 beeps, and seems to boost the treble region mostly. The 3rd is LOW FREQUENCY, accompanied by 3 beeps, and boost the lower bass region of sounds. Another 3-4 second press brings you back to the normal program. I WISH: The use of beeps for both volume confirmation and program change is only slightly helpful, and leaves me still confused. Is it that difficult to use a digital voice so users don’t lose their bearings while making setting changes? And that odd asymmetrical orientation of the volume control, differing from left to right seems unnecessary and eventually correctable. PERFORMANCE / SUMMARY: Go Hearing - Go Prime receives a round of applause from me. These ear buds are super small and discreet, These ear buds have limited design goals and a corresponding limited set of features. And they all work quite nicely. Using these while viewing/listening to TV provided an immediate increase in volume across the entire sound spectrum. There were few noise artifacts. Feedback noises were strictly limited to those times I let my hands linger too closely to my ears while making adjustments. For those times when the TV was too loud during dramatic excesses, it was just easier to pull the ear buds from my ears. and place them back in afterwards. I would not describe the sound shaping quality as subtle or sublime. These are a blunt amplification tool, but they sure do that work quite well. If I over-do the amplification, I’m competing with bats. These are not difficult to manage. Knowing they have a lengthy operating time between charges and no replacement batteries was reassuring. They operate for long stretches of time and are fully (lithium battery) rechargeable from a very small case. There is no software and no App. There is no hearing test. The ear buds are only about amplifying sound. They provide a variable volume control operated using a push button feature that quickly and easily modifies sound level. There is no advanced, sophisticated analysis of your hearing frequency curves. But, there are 3 presets that offer a way to address a broader range of inadequacies. Use them or not, the amplification itself will address some hearing issues, The 3 program settings provide a simple tool for limited tuning for specific issues. I like these OTC hearing aids. Easy to recommend.

I have worn prescription hearing aids for about four years and was intrigued with hearing aids going OTC this year. The Go Hearing aids exceeded my expectations! I have moderate hearing loss and am not 'missing' a lot of audio ranges, but mostly have muffled hearing.... my current prescription aids are the over the ear type and quite complicated to use at times. Unpacking the box, I was pleased to find a simple, and complete, user manual. The aids are stored in a small case, just like bluetooth ear buds you might connect to your phone. The magnetically snap into the charging slots and there is a cover. Red is right.... blue is left. The case also serves as a backup charger, which is great for on the go people. This is a complete set with cleaning tools and extra wax guards and I encourage anyone using these to clean the tips frequently with the tool provided. This keeps the sound channels open. They are so easy to pop in and out! Oh, and they turn on automatically when taken out of the charging case. No fumbling around trying to hit a small button or wheel. When I first put the aid in my right ear, I heard quite a bit of sound feedback, but it goes away as soon as you stop touching it. The Go Prime has one adjustment button and one 'handle' on each aid. Pushing the button in short one second taps will send the volume up until you max out at 8 level, then send it back to one. I suggest putting it a minimum volume when you start. If you hold the little button for over three seconds, it will change mode, from normal to high-frequency to low-frequency. The user manual gives good descriptions of these. I suggest starting with Normal. Like any hearing aid, start slow and build up your daily hours. If you have never worn aids, you will be shocked at what you were missing! I was quite pleasantly surprised by these aids. first, they fit snugly in my ear canal and did not feel like they would fall out. Second, they did amplify and clarify spoken words for me, which is my hearing problem. I feel better able to understand speech when I cannot see the person speaking. Third, the convenience of having a small charging case, that also charges when not plugged in, makes these handy to carry around. I work on a farm, mostly alone, and do not normally where aids outside. Having these in my pocket would be grand for times I and talking with a person in the field. Overall, for the price, these hearing aids exceeded my expectations. For me, they clarified speech and allowed me to up the volume a bit.

My ENT medical doctor has been wanting me to consider hearing aids since my hearing began to fade with a medical condition that I experienced in 2021. I have not really been ready for anything that he has shown me with either its size or price. I have tried a few inexpensive amplifiers that either become annoying with their size in a short time of use or have so much static that using them is more annoying than the little bit of hearing loss that I have. The history of the majority of middle-aged people obtaining hearing aids in America has just been difficult and the medical profession is finally admitting that depriving people of hearing aids has led to increased dementia cases and the speed to which the onset of dementia occurs. So finally, something remarkable has just happened that should have happened decades ago. The USA government has encouraged the FDA to make Hearing Aids marketable over the counter (OTC). Making Hearing Aids only obtainable through medical facilities as they have always been until the last couple of months of 2022 made the average price $4,500-6,800 dollars. It also limited the competition of applying newer technology towards making better options and the way the distribution was set up through the doctors and the mark-up that was on the product didn’t challenge manufacturers to be creative in making a better product. I know because I went through this with my father, and then (bless his heart) he would never wear them because he had to go to long without them. With much enthusiasm for myself and many others with low to moderate hearing loss I would like to report that I have just evaluated an OTC Hearing Aid that is small, fits in the ear instead of wrapping around and hanging on the ear, has a rechargeable case that can charge it up to 6x, and works very well. The Hearing Aids can be used for up to 30 hours on a single charge! The GO Prime Hearing Aid manufactured by Go Hearing is very impressive in its design, size, retail price, and functionality. At first, I wasn’t sure that these were going to have the clarity in sound that I wanted because they had a lot of static. The GO PRIME version that I have are designed with a small button on each that can be push for each of 3 different listening programs (Normal, High-Frequency, and Low-Frequency) with each having eight different volume adjustments. The trick to getting these to work great is to try to use them in different settings and adjust them accordingly. I used them in several setting but particularly watching TV, in the car listening to the radio, and on virtual meetings. After about 6 days, I had them adjusted to where I just left them alone and totally quit touching the control on either one of them at all. They are designed that when you put them in the case, they stay the way that they last were, and so when they are taken out of the case they are as they were when last used. I have had no screeching noises, no static, or any annoying sounds, just amplified sound like my hearing was before the illness two years ago. I am very pleased with these, but it did take persistence and use in different situations to fine tune them to my particular hearing needs. I think I have ended up with a High-Frequency in the right ear and adjusted the volume mid-range and Normal in the left ear, but I just kept fine tuning them until my hearing was very comfortable in my main environments. They also have to be comfortable in the ear and they come with 3 sizes of ear cushions – small, medium, and large. I found that small worked best for me and the hearing aid stayed in my ear when inserted. It was also pretty comfortable, but if I feel I need to give my ears a break, I carry the recharging case with me and slip them in their respective slots for a while. I do wish the colors on them were a little more subtle. Red is prominent for the Right hearing aid and Blue is the color for the Left hearing aid. I wish they were maybe a dark shade of gray and a lighter shade of gray so that they wouldn’t be quite so noticeable with short hair. After extensively studying Hearing Aids for the last 18 years and knowing what isn’t obtainable and the cost of what has been obtainable that has often been very technologically outdated, I am going to give these hearing aids five stars. Even though these could use a few little tweaks towards improvement in color, etc. they are a magnificent step in the right direction and appropriately named – Go Hearing. Yes, I definitely recommend these for low to moderate hearing loss and wish this manufacturer much success. I appreciate them providing a quality product for a reasonable price.

As some one who has had many different hearing aid devices this product hits all the notes. For me I want a product that fits comfortably, delivers on my ability to hear those hard noises in scenarios while also being able to not damage what little hearing I have left. First, upon opening the box I was greeted with a directional book that was deeply detailed. Its detail was to the point I wasn’t lost on how to set up or connect. They first step was to use the included ear measuring tool, which was very simple and took all of 10seconds. Inside the box it had all types of sized tubes and inserts that will fit any ear. I was a size 2 which was standard and already on the device. Once on my ear a simple button press and boom I could instantly hear better. It has four modes to help hear low and high sounds and One to amplify everything. For me I messed around till I found which one I liked best and then adjusted the volume button to tweak it even further. Now you can connect Bluetooth to these for music etc which was really convenient, but I found variations in sounds up and down were very dramatic so was hard for me to dial in just right. Over all I enjoy these at home and now I have no excuse form my wife for not hearing her anymore. Highly recommend for an over the counter solution that has a lot of features.

For context, I do not wear hearing aids but my grandmother does and this review is based on her reported experience with the product. For years, my grandmother had hearing problems. We were told it is simply a function of aging. She has tried various hearing aids prescribed from her doctor, none were very comfortable, a few had pitch problems, and a few had difficulty with static, etc. I'm not saying this product is perfect, but for the price and the fact that it's over the counter, it is a very compelling deal. These are modern, with fitted replaceable silicone covers (3 of them), it lasts 30 hours, doesn't have the feedback problem when pulling out, tied to your phone and you can adjust the functions on your phone, and does an amazing job with background noise control. I am told she's never experienced anything like this before. There's a button that has multiple functions, equalizer/volume/profile control, she loves it. She will admit it's a little confusing for her at times, she forgets that she has this function/ability sometimes, but in the right setting feels they are a very rewarding feature. Comes with a rechargeable case, with an updated USB-C port for quick charge. This has been a god-send for her. Going on vacation is a simple plug and good to go. Just having this feature has been reassuring for her to be traveling anywhere.

These have done well make sure you have them in charging case are making contact they will stay charged for hours they are easy to adjust pitch to right hearing level well pleased had them for about six months.

I purchased these so I didn’t have to pay mega bucks for prescription hearing aids, they were outstanding, the problem I had was that I could not get the left one to fit correctly, the right was perfect but the left caused me some pain, so I had to return them, come to find out my left ear canal has a funky curve in it so I’m gonna end up getting custom fitted aids, but give them a try

This product was just what my wife needed.She had lots most of her hearing in her right ear. And they have made a great improvement in her quality of life.

Love these. I hear things now I haven’t heard in decades!!! Price is awesome. The only things I wish is that they were in flesh color. But that’s minor

If it's well within the air canal It's easy to adjust the amplification It holds its battery charge for a long time.

Let them but did not Bluetooth return them I really want Bluetooth hearing aids

The sound is excellent and they are easy to maintain. The only issue is the fit for a small ear. Overall it is a good product.

These were great and rechargeable. My mom is just picky and never likes anything. I loved them and wouldn't live without them if I was her!

These were purchased for my wife who has a prescription set that is 9 years old and has degraded at tge end of its projected performance lifespan to provide basic hearing in her one modesty impaired ear while she is fitted with a bicros prescription replacement.In that context they did a good job on our three week vacation. I think for someone with a mild hearing loss on a budget these OTC are a very good value. They are backup for her when new prescription bicros are obtained. She has a custom ear mould and these fit on the smallest dome size fairly well but not as securely as the custom as one would expect.

I like these hearing aids. There is no feedback. I can hear much better.

Great buy for the price. Especially for watching TV and hearing voices. Ambiant noice is still a bit of an issue.

1st time owning a set, these work great fro me. Who needs to spend $1500+. I set program myself, and I can hear well and am very pleased with this product...hope they last a long time.
