LINNER - Nova Noise Canceling OTC Bluetooth Hearing Aids with Volume Control and Wireless Microphone - White

I got this because I take horseback riding lessons, at age 73. The indoor arena is 200 feet long, so it's hard to hear the trainer at that distance. The wireless microphone that comes with this set solves the problem. I made a holder for the microphone from a foam airconditioner filter, to block the wind. It goes around the trainer's neck, on a string -- so her hands are free. The microphone broadcasts her voice to the earbuds, that I wear under my riding helmet. I can hear the trainer perfectly now, no matter how far away -- the range of the microphone is sufficient to broadcast the entire distance of 200 feet, which is even more than the rated distance. Maybe it helps that the walls of the arena are metal, so the radio waves can bounce off of them. So I definitely recommend this product with its wireless microphone for similar uses, for other sports as well. You do need to get a cord to retain the earbuds, to make sure one of them won't fall out and get stepped on by your horse! Such cords are readily available to retain earbuds. As regular hearing aids, I wouldn't say that these earbuds do a lot. They mainly amplify. There is some possibility to adjust the volume and tone. However, if you have serious hearing problems you likely need to pay more to get more customization to solve your hearing problem. I myself can hear fine when there's no background noise. But in a noisy place, not so well. So I only use this product for my riding lessons. They hold a charge fine for the 1 hour of a riding lesson. At the end, usually down to 80% power. So they have plenty of power capacity. Recharging is fast. You can buy wireless headsets made especially for sports like riding, sailing, or the like -- but they would cost more than this.

Wow! I was surprised with how the great quality of these hearing aids. We purchased traditional hearing aids for my then 6 y/o daughter which cost about $5,000 and requires battery replacement every couple of days. While the Linner hearing aids might not be as advanced, I know I am now hearing sounds that I didn't used to hear in recent years. The setup with the app was super easy and fast. I really appreciated that the hearing aids utilize the built-in hearing test to adjust the tones of each side. Battery life gets me well beyond a day (I keep them on about 3-4 hours a day). Definitely a keeper. I also let my dad and aunt try one of the buds and they asked me to buy them for them too. Seriously a great set of hearing aids that look like buds at a great value.

This hearing aids have been a life-changing experience. As someone who has struggled with hearing loss, this device has made a remarkable difference in my day-to-day life. First and foremost, the clarity of sound that I now experience is simply outstanding. From conversations with loved ones to enjoying music and even the subtle sounds of nature, every aspect of my auditory world has been significantly enhanced. I can hear nuances and details that were previously lost to me, bringing back a sense of connection and joy. The battery is better than expected. I no longer have to worry about my hearing aids losing power unexpectedly, which gives me peace of mind throughout the day.

I thought I bought these from Best Buy. Best Buy for has a 60 day return policy on medical devices. Vendor has 14 day policy... unacceptable. I was trying to return these hearing aids 27 days from delivery date. I thought I was being reasonable. Man gets advice to shop at best buy for OTC hearing aids. Turns out to have been bad advice. Was offered half my money back and keep the hearing aids I won't use. Senior friends be aware that some of your Best Buy purchases are not subject to in store help or return. I'm still trying to get my $300. I'm a senior on a tight budget.

The good: 1. Fit well in ears, are comfortable, and feel like they'll stay put. 2. Easy to pair with phone and app. The bad: 1. Sound quality is really pretty bad - sounds like you're listening through an extremely cheap microphone. These produce nowhere near the sound quality of the very cheapest earbuds I've used. 2. Sound volume is still too much even on the lowest-volume setting - I understand it's an "amplification" device, but it's like using a hammer when a tweezers would work I'm not sure what the other reviewers were looking for, but I don't understand how anyone could be happy with these.
