Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve had a hard time to find the right hearing aid, not even doctors know who’s the best, the best way is to check out the reviews and peoples opinions. I really have to give mine since I think it’s important to let others know how great a product is and this one really compelled me because my hearing condition is very important to me and to have the right aid is not only making my life easier it’s also letting me enjoy life just a bit better, I’ve tried s few and the quality compared to this one is way beyond exceed those others, now I don’t say “huuu, what..” I can hear all my friends and family nice and clear and the sound is super crystal clear, I highly recommend this one. It actually saved my life.

This hearing aid, available over the counter and without prescription, will improve the lifestyle of someone with mild to moderate hearing loss, but not as well as many speciality hearing aids available through an audiologist. Miniaturization in technology continues to improve and I was hoping that this could be a breakthrough product to help more people to engage in the world more comfortably. Unfortunately, it’s not quite there yet. Set up: Sennheiser requires installing their ‘All-Day Clear’ app to your phone for set up. This is used to create a sound profile. Unfortunately, the app crashed once (after 10 minutes ‘pending’), which made the set up take longer. On the second attempt, the aids were set up properly. Another annoyance was a warning to see a professional when I set the left gain higher than the right gain. I’d been to an audiologist in the past and know that my hearing is worse on the left side. I don’t need Sennheiser to remind me of that! After using it for a couple of hours, I wanted to tweak some of the settings to make certain situations easier to deal with. Unfortunately, the app required me to set up the hearing aids again from scratch in order to ‘Update’ the settings. I had to write down what the settings were initially so I could have a reference point from which to work. It certainly would have been simpler to be able to tweak the settings directly instead of having to remember or write it down. Appearance: It was pointed out to me that the black backing to the ear buds was very visible in my ears, along with the wire heading to the ear bud from the outside portion. While hearing loss is not something to be embarrassed about, I’m not keen on how clearly this pair highlights itself to showcase that I’m wearing something. While I was out and about, I did hear someone say they through I was wearing ear buds, which was odd for someone my age. Usage (TV / Computer / Phone): After a couple of attempts, I was able to connect the hearing aids to my computer. At first, it did not appear in the list of bluetooth devices. After putting the hearing aids back in the case, then taking them out again, they conencted. Once connected, the sound quality was decent and clear from the PC. I also tried to connect the ‘TV mode’ on the hearing aid to my TV. I have an external bluetooth adapter for the TV, which is driven from the optical audio out. I’ve used this witth a personal surround speaker from Sony (great product) and which had been a godsend for allowing me to raise the volume for myself without disburbing those around me. I was hoping the adapter would connect to the hearing aids, but it did not. Connecting to phone audio was easier in some ways. I was able to get music playing through the hearing aids and they sounded as good as the computer with decent frequency range. Howver, when I got a call, I wasn’t able to get that to connect directly. I ended up using the speakerphone on my cell or my caller wasn’t able to hear me. Usage (Conversation): Sennhieser has done a decent job of rejecting ambient noise and focusing on a close conversation. It was certainly a big improvement over not using anything (and my shouting to others as I coudn’t hear myself). From talking to others about their experience, however, they’ve noted useful features on their hearing aids such as frequency shift, music pause, and overall clearer hearing. Overall: Hearing is a very personal experience. No two people lose their hearing in the same way. A specialist adds value in helping to tune a hearing aid and help you use it most effectively. They will also help you pick the right one for the features you want. While this comes at a price, I think that price is worth it when considering how long and how often hearing aids will get used. Sennheiser has done an admirable job of creating a hearing aid at a value price point. It’s just not the one for me.

The Sennheiser - All-Day Clear Slim - OTC Self-Fitting Hearing Aid is an excellent OTC choice if you have the need. My 72 year old mom moved in with us a couple years ago and both the wife and I (as well as our late-teens kids) noticed a gradual increase in TV and nusic volume coming from the basement. That in combination with us noticing an increasing presence of her asking for clarification during conversations, we were able to convince her that she may want to consider looking into hearing aids. She finally agreed and we are ALL so glad she did! Inside the box, you'll find the usual suspects... The hearing aids, charger, cable, multiple tips, cleaning kit and a nice bonus of a casNiether of them being overly technical, I was impressed with how (relatively) quickly they had the hearing aids going. As for quality, Sennheiser is universally recognized towards the upper end in consumer grade devices. This Clear Slim has a quality feel, look and design. End of the day mom loves them! she admitted she did not realiuze quite how far her hearing loss became. The conversations have been more engaging and theTV/music from the basement has almost dissapeared. I wouldreccomend them to a friend!

Firstly I am a Best Bujy Tech Insider and I did receive these Sennheiser All-Day Clear Slim hearing aids for the putpose of review. I am a long time hearing aid user, so I have experience with hearing aids of which all have deficiencies and these Sennheiser All-Day Clear Slims are no excreption. I like the build quality. The heavy bendable wire is a good asset as it helps keep the hearing aid on your ear in the case of the ear insert comming out. I like the app, it installed easily and quides you in the setup of the hearing aids. the volume of each side can be individually controlled or they can be merged as one. There is an audio equalizer, but it has limited adjustments. It comes with three sizes of ear inserts. The battery life is all day if you only use them as hearing aids, If you use it for streaming audio from a phone, tablet or laptop, battery life will be rather limited. The charging case does not have a battery for charging so it will have to be plugged in for charging.It comes with a decent user manual and extra wax guards and the tool to replace them. What needs to be made clear is that although they are Blue Tooth, you can't connect them to your TV without buying a rather expensive adapter that then connects with the Sennheiser All-Day Slim hearing aids, and that is a real bummer if you were hoping to be able to stream audio in private from your TV. What I thought that stood out as a plus was that it didn't seem to exagerate wind noise, creaks and rattles in my older car as my other aids do. While watching TV they seem to not exagerate surrounding sounds, such as ceiling fans. They do a decent job streaming audio, but not great unless you hold your fingers over the ear inserts, then they sound like good ear phones. So unless you want to do that or put ear muffs over them, the sound will be a little hollow. It has separate settings for streaming and listening, which they call "live Music". Reviewing hearing aids is not scientific, as they will react differently for each individual. Also you have to give your brain time to learn to process what it receives and turn it into what will eventually sound normal for you. As hearing aids go and considering what they cost,it is a toss up as to whether I would reccomend them to a friend without reviewing other hearing aids. You can buy a service package that allows you to take they to a hearing aid center or store for adjustment or repair. You can find the cost of that on Sennheiser's website. I am sorry that I can't be all Rah Rah, or No Way, about these hearing aids, because until I have used them for an extended period, I can not make a certain yay or nay vote on these.

I've tried audiologist tuned AI style hearing aids for over $4000 and I've tried the $100 "guaranteed" cheapos and both were terrible. Enter the middle ground: Sennheiser All Day Cleaer Slim. I've used them for almost two months and as long as I keep them on "Live Music" mode, they're great. I can hear so much better. The other "automatic" mode or whatever it's called, filters out too much of the things I WANT to hear. If I want that, I'll go back to the $4000 AI model. So... it's liveable. What I LOVE is that calls, music, streaming video audio all come through clear and clean and at enough volume that I can actually enjoy telephone conversations again. I don't like the behind the ear thing. It feels like I'm going to lose them from time to time, but they work better than the in-the-ear units I tried before. So Far... So Good

Downloaded the All-Day Clear app. The intro, e.g. user agreement was so lengthy, it seemed like I was reading a manual! Next, I had to create an account. This included agreeing to them processing my data. What data do they need for me to use hearing aids! You have to provide a real email or phone number as they will send a verification code for you to complete the account creation process. Next is the process of pairing via Bluetooth with your phone. It took a couple of tries and then they paired. Streaming a video or listening to music on the phone, the Sennheiser hearing aids work pretty well. This is true for phone conversations including conference calls I do from the phone. Normally I have the volume all the way up, with the hearing aids I was able to hear well at about 50% volume. At first I didn’t think the hearing aids were working without the phone. I didn’t think they helped with the TV. With a little time I found the TV was too loud and kept turning it down. It’s now at about 40% of the volume it was when I wasn’t wearing the hearing aids. They do the job. I do get some feedback if I touch my ears. Why am I touching ears? To make sure they are still in my ears! They are so comfortable I don’t even realize I am wearing them. I touch my ears to check if they are there and then I get feedback so I know yes they are there! At first, I got a beep here and there and I didn’t know why. I got a notification on my phone that says that is normal. I think the hearing aids are tuning themselves.
