Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased a pair, they failed in 3 months, HP replaced them, those did not work out of the box.. quality is poor, purchase another brand. Customer service was very poor.

Very complicated to use... I wouldn't actually recommend this. Im actually going to refund these . I would pefer linner nova earbuds if you Dont mind the color code for left and right.

Had to return them since they are not compatible with my Samsung Galaxy 25 cell phone

Let's keep this simple. The HP HearingPro OTC hearing aids are excellent earbuds, but I think fall down a bit as hearing aids. Positive first - the audio quality is absolutely first rate, among the best of the earbuds I've used. Listening to music is a blissful experience, and the call quality is also excellent. The setup/'tuning' app is easy to use and initial setup takes only a few minutes. The two major downsides are the short battery life and the lack of options in the 'tuning' app. I have mild to moderate hearing loss: Sometimes struggling to follow converstions in crowded venues Turning the tv up louder to follow the audio More noticeable with higher frequencies This means I could put the aids in only for those 'as necessary' situations, but I'd really rather just leave them in all day. I've averaged about 6 hours of use before having to stick them in the charging for a recharge, which means having to recharge them at least once and sometimes twice during the day. The app, while easy enough to use, doesn't really give you any data about the level of correction it has programmed, and really provides very limited manual control over the aid parameters. The app tunes the response based on your response to tones at varying sound levels. After the initial tuning, the only adjustments available are overall volume and focus. There is no way to manually fine tune the frequency response or tune for things like wind noise. There are two more minor annoyances as well. The units are large enough to be very apparent, looking like ear buds, which may or may not suit the occasion. The ear tips are supplied in only three sizes (S, M, L) and although they are supplied in both silicone and moldable foam, a larger range of sizes may provide a more comfortable fit. All in all, the HP HearingPro OTC hearing aids are decent enough, but I felt like they just missed the mark a bit. Hopefully the app will be improved to provide much finer control and more options for situational noise control in the future.

They suck, good for calls and music, but the sound quality as a hearing aid is awful. I have talked to them about it, and they dont care to figure it out.

Worked decently for about 2 weeks, then the right speaker stopped working.

24 F. Have been shopping for OTC hearing aids for a few months now after experiencing single-sided sensorineural hearing loss. I gave the CREE10s a try by Sony initially. I had to return because they overall were not worth the 1300+tax price tag. For nearly half the money, these HP otc aids are far less complicated. The setup process is easy and actually adjusts to your hearing levels, unlike the CREE10s which throws a handful of settings at you to see what might work. These are very uncomplicated comparatively. They fit extremely comfortable into my smaller ears and they even come with different tip settings, silicone and memory foam. They don’t feel like they are going to fall out and are even more comfortable than the discrete CREE10s. These HP aids are far less hidden and stick out of the ear a bit more. I think most people would see these as hearing aids when talking to them over the discrete Sony aids and it’s personally important to me for people to acknowledge that I have a difficult time listening to voices and that I’m not just listening to music. I don’t feel these give “airpod” vibes at all. As far as the sound quality, I can’t imagine there are other OTC brands doing it better than HP right now. Bluetooth/streaming quality knocks the CREE10s out of the park. I feel I have the best of both worlds when listening to what’s happening around me and listening to my music. I assume phone call quality goes the same. Cons…. The lack of fine tuning settings. While frustrating at times, at least the sony app gave the option to configure settings yourself. For example, allowing a volume adjustment for each ear instead of the one master volume control that is currently in the HP app. But the setup process and quality of audio routing takes care of most of the ‘fluff’ that would normally need to be fine tuned. Still, it would be nice to have some options to mess around with to get things perfect. In the future I would like to see updates for configuration settings because right now the app feels very limited. The focus setting works well when needed. The ability to to take one aid out would be nice. The second you take one side out, the audio routing stops. So you must wear these both at the same time to utilize both regular audio routing or bluetooth. This is minimal to myself but it might be important to note to another potential buyer. The rechargeable battery was a must for me, the Sony’s did last a very long time without needing to charge, these HP aids seem to drain rather quickly. The case charge time is very short around 20-30 minutes so it goes fast, but annoying to run into the aids dying in the middle of the day. Overall I think this product has it’s 1300$ competitor the Sony CREE10s beat. If you’re on the fence about which which aid to go with, I suggest giving these a try and for a comfortable $700 price tag that beats both Sony models as well as the Jabras, which I would have bought if I didn’t see these on the market first. I hope with more time there can be improvements made for customization.

The HP Hearing Pro OTC hearing aids are good, with one flaw, which I'll get to later. They come with a handy charging case that charges the hearing aids when a plug is not available. The HP Hearing app is good, giving you what you need to get the hearing aids set up. It includes the required volume control, as well as what HP calls Ear ID, which evaluates the areas where you have hearing loss and amplifies things in those areas. I feel like it did a good job of identifying areas I need help in. It also includes Focus mode, which is designed to block out sound from everywhere except directly in front of you. I did notice a difference when using this mode in a crowded restaurant, but the difference wasn't earth shattering. Though any help in these conditions is welcomed. Sound quality is impressive when used for listening to music. Bass is excellent and things sound crisp. As other reviewers have mentioned, these hearing aids are a little on the large side. The flaw I mentioned at the beginning is that while earbud type hearing aids do a good job of amplifying sounds you would normally have a hard time hearing, they also have to amplify the sounds you would normally hear if your ear wasn't plugged up with an earbud. So, the result is that ranges you would normally hear don't sound as natural as they normally would. The bottom line is the HP Pro hearing aids are good and do what they claim at a much lower price than prescription hearing aids. Sound quality for music and phone calls is good and they do a good job of pumping up the volume in areas you need help. If you are needing help hearing and don't want to spend a fortune these hearing aids are a great option. Most people would think you are wearing ear buds, and they function well in this capacity.

I received my first set of HP Hearing PRO aids and followed the setup steps to the letter. They activated then connected with my phone quickly & then went through the hearing test on the HP Hearing app on my phone. In 15 minutes I was using the aids and familiarizing myself with the controls in the app. After experimenting for a while with those, I soon got the hang of things. I wore them all day for a couple of days to find out how effective they were under "real world" conditions using them in conversation, watching TV etc. I didn't get to the part where you can receive phone calls or listen to music from my phone since I wanted to focus on conversation and TV first. I planned to do the phone stuff later. Using the aids in this manner, I got between 7.5 & 8.0 hours of use before they needed recharging. In regards to the quality of sound using the aids, I found the sound to be tinny, but that may have been "normal" for me with the degree of hearing loss I have -- I don't know since this is my first experience with hearing aids with no other hearing aid experience to compare with. The app controls allow you to select more focus on sounds in front and to your sides, or another setting provides sound reception equally all around you. You adjust your volume through the app as well as bass/treble etc. Anyway, all that takes some trial & error for anyone to determine what works best. The aids charged quickly in the charge case as did the charge case itself. When you take the aids out of the case, they are "on." Placing them back in the charge case turns them "off." So, when you place them in your ears, they are already on. After one time pairing with your phone's BT, anytime you place the aids in your ears you hear a tone telling you your connected to the app (you have to have both aids in your ears for this to work). The aids are more the size of individual ear buds, not tiny little aids that disappear in your ear canal -- they're readily seen by others from the side or, even, from the front. The face of each aid is a darker gray, so if you're light complected they show up markedly. They didn't work loose on me while wearing them and are reasonably comfortable if you don't overwork them by jamming them too deeply or hard in your ear opening/canal. They come with two different types of tips (silicone and memory foam) in 3 different sizes. About the morning of my third day from receiving the HP Hearing PRO aids, they went dead - no sound, no tone, nothing. My phone's BT setting still showed them but with no connection. No matter what I did, they would not activate and connect to the app. I did the usual things to reconnect but nothing worked. I contacted HP tech support and they guided me back through everything but nothing changed. The aids were dead. The charging lights showed green when they were in the case and the case charging light showed green as well, so it wasn't a power problem. HP had me send them back to them and they sent me another set. I charged the new set overnight and went through the normal setup. I had deleted the app from my phone so I could start fresh and downloaded the app again. The BT setting in my phone was unpaired so, likewise, I could start fresh there too. Anyway, went through the now familiar steps to set up the aids, but I followed the steps to the letter to be sure. When you set up a new pair of aids you place them in your ears and then hold your left index finger on the left aid and your right index finger on the right bud (you're touching sensors on the outside of each aid when you do this) until you hear the word "pairing" through the aids. I heard nothing. I tried different fingers on each hand, made sure the aids were charged -- I did all this multiple times, but no sound of any sort came through the aids. My phone's BT was scanning, but it wasn’t picking up the aids at all. The first set were picked up by my BT immediately. My BT is working normally since the phone is paired with my computer and other things with all that working normally. So, it's not the phone/BT that's having a problem. It appears the HP PRO Hearing Aids were...dead...giving no BT signal. So, I emailed HP support and, after a day or so, they emailed back with suggestions as they did when the first set died. Before doing that (remember, this is several days after they quit working and wouldn’t work no matter what I did) I decided to give them one more try. I placed them in my ears once more…and they activated and connected with my phone. Once that occurred, I went through the apps hearing test to adjust them as I did with the first set. I notified HP Tech support and they told me that if they appeared to be working properly, to keep using them to see if I would have any more problems with them. So far, they’re still working. I have no explanation why the second set of aids wouldn’t activate despite my many attempts going through the by-the-book process each time. Then after setting for a few days, they suddenly activated and paired with my phone … go figure. My final thoughts on all this: I find the HP Hearing Pro aids to be too large for actual hearing aids (classified as a medical hearing device according to HP's literature), and more like ear buds in size and appearance. As to the quality of the sound, it is too tinny to the point of being distracting. Lastly, If you receive a fair number of phone calls during the day, or like to stream music from time to time besides using the aids as hearing aids, you will be recharging the aids at least once during an 8-hour day if not more. However, considering the price, they provide hearing assistance while offering music streaming and answering phone calls, but their effectiveness is in proportion to their cost.

In the ever expanding uinverse of over-the-counter hearing aids, the unusual HP Hearing Pro earbuds are best I have tried. I call them unusual because the form they take is more like your standard bluetooth earbud than a hearing aid. Those come in a lot shapes and sizes but thie HP model is the only one I have seen with this particular form factor. That's both good and bad. The good news is they are easier to handle, mostly because they are just bigger. That's important for older folks with poor eyesight and limited motor skills. Those tiny in-the-ear-canal models, for example, can be a challenge for such people. There's also no tiny controls to worry about. There is not even an on-off switch. Take them out of their case and they are on, put them back and they are off. Otherwise, you just stick them in your ears and then tweak the volume and sound environment with the HP Hearing smartphone app. That's also needed for the initial setup, providing customized performance for your particular hearing loss. That turns out to be pretty easy too, with a series of simple tone tests for each ear. You have to pair them with your phone but the app is easier than most, in part because it requires no registration, no name and password, before you use it. But the most important good news is they just work better than the other models I have tried, providing a more natural sound boost and a lot less of the squealing, and raspiness common in a lot of hearing aids. They do generate a sound akin to chirping birds if you crank up the volume too much but that is far less annoying than the continous feedback squeal common in other hearing aids. The bad news? Ironically, one of biggest is that they are , well, big. That means they are pretty obvious when you are wearing them. And let's face it, not the most attractive fashion accessory. Most people don't want to adverstise they are heard of hearing. The only good news here is they might be mistaken for regular old bluetooth earbuds, which many people wear to just listen to music. Or talk on the phone. And you will be happy to know these hearing aids can perform both of those functions too. So they are a bit of a multi tasker. (Just tap the left bud to answer the phone.) Getting the right fit also might be an issue with some people. The HP Hearing Pro comes with pretty large selection of ear pieces, from small to large and from silicone to memory foam. So they try to accommodate everyone. But if you are like me and have never found an earbud that is comfortable, you might have the same problem here. These have to be jammed in pretty tight to work right and that can be pretty uncomfortable over time since they are rather large. But you can easily pop them in and out as needed. One big plus with the HP Hearing Pro earbuds is they are rechargable. There are no tiny batteries to buy or install. The somewhat bulky case they come in serves as a wireless charger. It can store power and charge the buds even if not plugged in but must eventually be recharged using any USB charger. A USB-A to USB-C cable is included to connect the case to a charger but a USB charge is not included. The buds run for up to 8 hours on a single charge and can be recharged in 3 hours. As mentioned earlier, the intial setup process is pretty easy, although the app does throw up some roadblocks if you fail to hear all of the tones the app generates at the beginning of the testing process. It then suggests the buds are not properly seated in your ears and urges the user to try a different earpiece. But it may be you just have lousy hearing. If so, skip over this step (the app allows that at some point) and proceed with the testing. Once completed, the app displays a graphic (dubbed hearing ID) that shows the level of hearing loss and at which frequencies, for each ear. That is a nice touch. The user can then decide whether to put the buds into a broad "world" environment mode, for general use, or focused one, for talking to nearby people in noisy environments. Both work well. The buds operate in active noise cancelation mode when both world and focus settings are off. Which I assume is most useful if you are using the buds to listen to music. Overall this the best of he over-the-counter hearing aids I have tried and worth a look if you are beginning to suffer from hearing loss.

Size and Fit - The device fits well in the ears but are not small enough to go unnoticed or hide behind your hair. Infact they are easily visible and can get a little uncomfortable if you have them on for a long time. Sound quality - There is more clarity and sharpness in any kind of surrounding noise or sound, provided you do not have any hearing disorders. If you are suffering from Tinnitus or Otosclerosis this device does not help in reducing the ringing sound in your ears or help suppress it or overpower it with the dialog. Hence, there is no difference or improvement in hearing even with the device on. This may not be best suited for people suffering from any hearing disorder where they are not able to listen to sounds below a certain decibel level. Setting up and configuration on phone - Pretty simple and straight forward to download the app on your phone and pair it with the device. Instructions are clear and easy to follow. Connecting to Bluetooth device - It is a simple touch process to switch the head sets on and pair it with your phone. You will be able to connect to your phone calls, music playlist on your phone through this device once connected to Bluetooth which is pretty great as you do not have to use this just as a hearing device and take it on and off to receive phone calls etc. Hearing assessment - The mobile app has a hearing assessment which is pretty lengthy. It takes a lot of time and various levels to assess your quality of hearing which requires you to have a lot of patience. It would be more helpful if the app could assess better and quicker.

Since my time in the service, I have dealt with mild to moderate hearing loss, but never felt the need to go forward with hearing aids especially since I am no where near middle age and don't want to have a clunky ear piece hanging over my ear all day. I do however usually have ear buds in most of the day at work and have have them in with relatively low discomfort. Because I have ear buds in, I do not hear what is going on around me. Sometimes I find it difficult to hear if people are speaking behind me as well. Although sometimes it's because I lack the interest to hear anything that isn't in front of me... Given the opportunity to try out an Over The Counter hearing aid that did not look like a hearing aid interested me. Setup was simple. I downloaded the Android App, connected the buds and ran through the setup and configuration all within about 15-20 mins. The setup involves a series of low tones that you have to press the button after you hear. Though I have always had the problem that if I hear repetitive sounds like annoying (and very faint) beeps I continue to think I hear them which resulted in several false presses. Other than that it was simple set up. Once the buds were all set up, I spent serval days walking around with them in most of the day hearing everything around me. I found myself intentionally shutting off the world mode (while keeping them in my ears) just to get some isolation and just listen to music or podcasts. I often have something playing or my tinnitus starts to creep into focus. Sound and voices are amplified and clear to me, however, it does sound artificial and doesnt have a completely natural tone. I have never used a prescribed hearing aid, but I can't imagine there are any devices that are this small that can achieve that. Althought listening (focusing) on television or voices coming from directly in front of me were definitely clearer and made it easier to hear over not using them. I did find that the HP Hear Pro buds are larger than my Samsung Buds Pro 2 but still appear to be ear buds and no one really noticed that they were anything other than that at work. As with many other ear buds available they come with a variety of bud sizes, even foam tips! Silicone mediums are my default as they provide the best seal. The foams are very comfy but they tend to make my ear canals very itchy after about 45mins of use. Fit is similar to Samsung, Sony and other buds, in that you need to rotate the bud in the pocket of the ear and it sits in comfortably and securely. I was about to vigourously shake my head, jump up and down and was not worried about them falling out. I also noticed that with the HP Hear Pros I was able to hear my office mates behind me clearer when they spoke while my back was to them. It wasn't like I was able to spy on someone's conversation, but if they were speaking in my direction while my back was to them I could hear it better than without the HP Buds in. The size of the case for the buds seem rather large, but they provide multiple charges after the 6-7hour runtime for the buds themselves. So these buds will easily last 2-3 days of moderate use. Maybe a little over a day for constant use and only breaks for charging. Again for the size of the case I am disappointed in the lack of wireless charging. Being a hearing aid it works well to be able to hear the TV or music as well as things and people around you. However, as mentioned before you can turn off world volume and they function as normal ear buds to shut out everything else. I also had my elderly father whos hearing loss is much more significant than mine give them a try and he was pleased in that he was able to hear conversations without straining and hear the TV without it blasting. He was able to listen to the families conversation and hear the TV at the same time and he no longer seemed to be confused trying to figure out what we were saying to him. He also mentioned that the voices didn't seem natural but it didn't bother him too much. Just something he noticed. we made a few test calls and I noticed I was able to speak to him much easier without having to repeat myself multiple times. He has been having problems understanding phone numbers or addresses when I spell them out. He seemed to hear everthing much better with the Hearing Pros in. Ultimately I will be gifting these to my father as it seems he will benefit from them far more than me. But I am impressed with how confortable wearing the HP Hearing Pros were for long periods and sound as regular ear buds were on par with some of the best wireless ear buds on the market. I'd gladly recommend them to anyone dealing with mild to moderate hearing loss. It's good to see tech companies partnering with companies like Nuheara making devices driven to those suffering from hearing issues and removing some of the stigma from having to face the reality of hearing aids.

The HP Hearing Pro Self Fitting Over The Counter Hearing Aids come packed in a charging case. As a hearing aid user for a couple of years now, I find it great not to have to buy and carry around spare batteries all the time. There are six sets of ear gels in assorted sizes and two different materials and as usual, the smallest is my best fit. The set also has a cleaning brush, charging cable and drawstring carrying case. After charging the hearing aids, choosing the best fitting ear gels and downloading the app it was time to let the app give me a hearing test. The test is much faster than that given by my audiologist. After the test the app gives a circular graph representing your hearing results in several categories for each ear and of course tailoring each hearing aid to the results. In the few months since over the counter hearing aids have been available, I have tried two others and found them to be little more than amplifiers which amplify all of the noise in a noisy room equally. These are much better at filtering background noise than the other OTC aids I have tried. I think the help in noisy rooms is perhaps more due to a limited focus setting than to filtering. I would describe these as closer to streaming earbuds that have viable hearing aid functions than as traditional hearing aids. The reason I describe these as such is that unlike traditional hearing aids, there is no effort to make these inconspicuous. These are much larger and heavier than any traditional hearing aids I am familiar with. Like earbuds I use for streaming music, these become uncomfortable after an extended wearing. Perhaps those people that are self-conscious about being seen in hearing aids are more comfortable being seen in earbuds. I would not consider wearing these in a business setting, especially board meetings because it might appear that I was listening to music instead of paying attention to the proceedings. I really like the ability to control the amount of outside sound that comes in while streaming music. Without the music or phone streaming, the outside sound control in the app serves as a volume control. The other control in the app is a setting that narrows the focus of the microphones. This focus setting helps in noisy settings by excluding sounds picked up from approximately 75% around you. The quality of streaming phone calls, music and video is great. I really like these hearing aids. In terms of function, these are by far the best of the OTC hearing aids I have tried. I dock them a star for their size, weight and appearance. I consider earbuds something to be used in your leisure hours and inappropriate in business settings and therefore would not use them in the workplace (where I need them most).

I've been using the HP Hearing PRO Self-Fitting OTC Hearing Aids for about a month now, and I'm really happy with them. I have mild hearing loss, and these aids have made a big difference in my ability to hear and understand conversations in noisy environments. The HP Hearing PROs are easy to use. I just downloaded the HP Hearing App on my phone, and the app guided me through a simple hearing test. The app then calibrated the aids to my hearing levels. The aids are comfortable to wear. They're small and discreet, and I can wear them all day without any discomfort. The sound quality is excellent. I can hear people talking clearly in noisy environments, and I can also enjoy music and movies without any distortion. I'm really happy with the HP Hearing PRO Self-Fitting OTC Hearing Aids. They're affordable, easy to use, and they provide great sound quality. I would definitely recommend them to anyone who is looking for a hearing aid. Pros: Affordable Easy to use Great sound quality Comfortable to wear Clinically proven to improve speech understanding in noise Bluetooth streaming Active noise cancellation Cons: Not as powerful as prescription hearing aids Battery life could be better Overall, I think the HP Hearing PRO Self-Fitting OTC Hearing Aids are a great option for people with mild to moderate hearing loss. They're affordable, easy to use, and they provide great sound quality. If you're looking for a hearing aid that won't break the bank, I would definitely recommend them.

HP Hearing PRO OTC Hearing Aids Design and Fit: These hearing aids have a sleek design that makes them comfortable to wear. In addition, their IP54 water and dust-resistant design ensures they are durable and reliable for everyday use. I've worn them in various situations and have experienced no issues with fitting or comfort. Wireless Connectivity and Voice Control: The built-in Bluetooth 5.0 technology allows for seamless wireless music streaming and phone calls. I love that I can connect these hearing aids to my smartphone and enjoy my favorite tunes or take calls without any hassle. Plus, they are compatible with Siri and Google Assistant voice control on supported devices, making my life even easier. Active Noise Cancellation and Sound Quality: The Active Noise Cancellation (ANC) circuitry works wonders at minimizing environmental noise, which has been particularly helpful for me in crowded places. These hearing aids feature 9.2mm drivers that deliver high-quality, natural sound, and the built-in feedback management system effectively reduces high-pitched feedback noise. In addition, the 12 processing channels ensure optimum sound quality. HP Hearing PRO App and Personalization: The HP Hearing PRO app provides a user-specific hearing assessment and sound adjustments through its clinically validated EarID hearing assessment feature, which uses NAL-NL2 calibration algorithms. This has made a difference in adjusting the sound for my hearing needs. I also appreciate the selectable ambient sound amplification, active noise cancellation, and Focus Mode, which amplifies conversations while blocking environmental noises. Battery Life: With a battery life of 8 hours, I can wear these hearing aids throughout the day without any worries. The included charging case holds enough power for an additional three full charges (up to 32 hours total), so I always have a backup. In addition, the spoken low-battery alarm audibly alerts me when it's time to charge the hearing aids, which is a helpful feature. I highly recommend giving these hearing aids a try!

In the box: • Left & Right hearing aids; • Charging case; • USB (A to C) charging cable; • 6 pairs of tips (small, medium, & large; foam & silicone); • 1 cleaning brush; • Soft carrying case Setup: Pairing was easy with the HP Hearing app. On first use, you will be prompted to go through the “EarID” hearing test. You can pause the test, but have to leave the app open to continue from where you left off. The app identified my test environment as “quiet”, but the results suggested that it should have been much quieter (see below). Use as hearing aid: Tune out or tune in. World mode controls the active noise canceling (ANC). With World mode on, ambient sounds are amplified. With World mode off, ANC is on and ambient sounds are (mostly) blocked. With World mode on, Focus mode can be used to selectively amplify sounds in front of you (~160-degree arch). This is helpful for conversations (when the speaker is in front of you) or for TV audio (without surround). Focus mode off is my preference for most other situations. With EarID turned on, the HP Hearing PRO attempts to compensate for the results obtained during the hearing test performed at setup. For me, the result was a shrill pulsing tone that was unbearable. It would have been great to have been able to manually fine-tune the equalization rather than going through the entire testing sequence again with no guarantee of getting an improved profile. There are notable microphonics in all active amplification modes. However, the HP Hearing PRO is considerably better in this regard than other OTC hearing aids I have tried. The hearing aids were comfortable during extended use (4 hours). The only signal processing appears to be the equalization applied when EarID mode is on and the ANC when World mode is off. Use as in-ear monitor (IEM): I had surprisingly good performance when listening to streaming audio. Most consumer-level IEMs are bass-forward. The HP Hearing PRO has a refreshingly neutral sound signature. They also have good hear-through performance when World mode is on and Focus mode is off. The volume controls in the HP Hearing app affects only amplification of ambient sounds (not audio playback). Turning World mode off engages the ANC and lets you enjoy the audio without distraction. Use as hands-free headset: Short taps on the left ear answer incoming calls or mute the microphone for calls in progress. A long (2 second) tap terminates calls. Incoming audio is clear. Outgoing audio is clear and echo-free. Overall: I have tried several OTC hearing aids. Notwithstanding my bad experience with EarID, the HP Hearing PRO is the first one that I can recommend. It also performs well as an ANC IEM and as a hands-free headset. Pros: Easy setup, easy insertion, good fit, neutral audio profile Cons: EarID tests can be sensitive to the test environment and generate undesirable equalization profiles.

Over the counter hearing aids, just like over the counter reading glasses, think of it that way. When you go to an audiologist and are tested, you're able to see exactly what's needed and if hearing aids can help you. With over the counter hearing aids, it'll be a hit or miss. For my grandma, it was a hit, but with some caveats. My grandma is 81 years old, and is one to not admit that she has hearing loss. She instead says that everyone doesn't talk clearly and mumbles all the time. With that being said, to even give hearing aids a try, she doesn't want it to be known that she's wearing them or needs them for assistance. That's where these HP NU320 model hearing aids come in. Honestly when you put them on, they look like wireless earbuds that are HP branded. You would think that they are simply earphones and not hearing aids at all. The case and overall design is very professional and aesthetically pleasing. The app is very fresh and new by HP's partner for this device, Nuheara Limited. It's a very small app size download of 64.9MB, and the user interface is very user friendly. You can set up your profile as well as adjust the self-fitting to your needs. I think in my opinion they're a little on the expensive end, but they work, so can't really complain. You're getting a premium product at a premium price.

So I received my HP Hearing Pro Self-Fitting OTC Hearing Aids about a week ago and have been putting them through their paces. Now I have not been properly diagnosed with any type of hearing loss, though, I have known myself for awhile that my dominant ear is my right ear, which means there has to be some hearing loss in my left ear. Upon opening the box, you will find: * The HP Hearing Pro Self-Fitting OTC Hearing Aids (1 pair: Left & Right) * Charging Case * USB-C Charging Cable * Small, Medium, and Large Silicone EarTips * Small, Medium, and Large Foam EarTips * Carrying Bag * Cleaning Brush * User Manual & Quick Start Card To get started, simply follow along with the Quick Start guide and download the HP Hearing app from the App Store for iOS or Google Play Store for Android. It's best to ensure the HP Hearing Aids are fully charged before using them. Continuing on with the Quick Start Guide and the app, just follow along with the prompts to get both the Right Earbud and Left Earbud setup and connected. The process is fairly simply, however, I ran into issues with setting them up and had to close out the app and restart it up. After a quick restart of the app, I was able to continue on with the setup process which was kinda finnicky at times but it finally went through and I was able to complete the setup process. After completing the setup process, you can tweak the settings to your liking in the HP Hearing app. Once I got everything just right, I was amazed and how clearly I could hear the TV in front of me. I actually had to turn to the TV down to where normally I wouldn't be able to hear the volume. It was pretty cool. Also, I was able to hear people more clearly without having to turn my head sideways to where my right ear (which is my dominant ear) would be facing them as they spoke. A couple of great features that I love about the HP Hearing Aids is the fact that the can be used to answer phone calls and listen to music playback. The only downside that I noticed is that they can't be used independent of one another like some other earbuds I've tried before. Other than that, I really like these hearing aids and recommend them to anyone looking for a great pair at an affordable price.

These are great and they do the job if you have mild to moderate hearing loss (or early on-set like I do in one ear). A few items to highlight: - The App: It does the job well, however it could use some updates. I have used similar apps for other products and they were a little more fine tuned and sleek. You can control the volume, and even specify what sounds in your vicinity you want to focus on and hear more. -The Sound: It is absolutely sharp, clear, and crisp. I can hear movies, music, people's conversations, you name it. -Connectivity: The Bluetooth connectivity was nearly effortless --- which is huge and can often not be so simple. It also stays connected for a good distance away from the device itself when I'm using with my phone. - Fit: Almost ALL earbuds of any kind constantly fall out of my ears, which is very cumbersome and annoying; however these HPs don't! I do have to wedge them in the right way, but once I do, they actually stay put. - Cost: These are a bit pricy for my own tastes, but to be honest, you get the most for your money with them, which is ultimately the goal with these purchases, so all in all I think its worth it.
