Charmaine of customer support was outstanding in response time and helpful, pleasant information. Finally, seeking to do something to alleviate hearing challenges with Audien being the result has been so encouraging. While I did try their smaller, in ear options, the result, while good for augmenting hearing, made retention unfulfilling. Having tried other OTC devices before Audien the Ion has done it all- even offsetting vanity.

Audien customer service has been nothing less than fabulous!! If we have questions, they respond so quickly and patiently. My husband tried another brand at one point and decided to come back to Audien. He is using the Pro2 and says the sound quality is more realistic than any other product he has tried. Thanks much for a great product.

Stop feeling left out or isolated due to poor hearing!have been using Audien Hearing Aids…
I have been using Audien Hearing Aids for about 3 years. I could not function without them. Conventional aids are so expensive and not affordable for the average person. I am so happy with mine. I recommend buying the insurance as electronics do often fail and the insurance really comes in handy if you have one that stops working or lose one and need replacements (in which case there is a co-pay). Customer service has been excellent. With poor hearing you miss so much and it is truly isolating. If you can't hear well, order these today! You will be glad you did!

Happy hearing customer
So happy that I invested In.
Adam pro 2.The size is great now.I can watch TV at 8 instead of a 32 or more. They don't maneuver too much in canal and love that usually can adjust volume at any time. This company has been so forth coming in helping its consumers and fb page is phenomenal. Thank you. Price is great. Ins is reasonable too.

Great company service
I received my aids in a timely manner and since I'm used to wearing CIC aids I had no trouble getting used to them. I discovered about a week or so into use that the volume worked perfectly, the listening adjustment did not work in one of them.
Audien was very quick to respond and instead of replacing one they are sending me a new set and I will return my original set.
I have found with these hearing conversations in a noisy restaurant is greatly improved which has been my biggest difficulty. I would certainly recommend Audien!

Worked as well as Jabra Enhance, just has no frills.
I have moderate hearing loss in both ears along with loud tinnitus. I have been to an audiologist but could not afford the exorbitant prices of name brand hearing aids. I have no insurance to cover any portion of hearing aids. So, I opted to try over the counter hearing aids. I have tried several, as well as the cheap hearing amplifiers (which do absolutely nothing to help). I have tried in the canal and behind the ear (BTE) aids. I have tried Sony, Jabra, Bose and a few off-brand ones. I then had the opportunity to try these Audien Ion BTE rechargeable hearing aids.
Now these come in at just under $500 for a pair. I have positive things to say about these, but let’s get the negatives out of the way. They have no app. They do not have Bluetooth. You’re not going to be able to answer phone calls or stream music with them. You will have to adjust settings manually using the buttons on the aids. They do not have what I call “active” noise cancellation (more on that in a moment). But this is why they are this price instead of double, triple or even quadruple that amount, or more. I prefer in the canal aids since I sometimes wear reading glasses and the two do not always mix well. I prefer the in the canal as they are much more discreet than BTE aids. Having said that, these are barely noticeable, and some people take a very long time to notice them, if they do at all. But such is life, and I would rather hear than worry about vanity.
I sent all the others back for refunds since they fell far from meeting my expectations for those prices. The closest I came to keeping a pair was the most expensive ones I had purchased: the Jabra Enhance and the most expensive model at that. The Jabra Enhance cost me almost $2,000 and that was after a $300 discount. I was still having trouble with conversations with the Jabra aids. Their doctor assigned to me did our Zoom call that they provide. She just flat out told me that no adjustments could be made to my settings that would help and to just get a refund. I did not feel that she/doctor was even interested in helping me and the way she presented herself on the zoom call was quite unprofessional, looking like she just got out of bed. Audien does not provide a zoom call with a doctor, but they are attentive to questions or problems if you have them via their customer service. Adjustments cannot be made from the Audien home office, but they are affordable.
These come with 3 sizes of ear domes in 2 different styles (flowered I think they’re called and closed). The sizes are 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm. They come with wax guard cleaners and a cleaning brush. There is a charging cord, plug and charger. They charge quickly. The charge lasts a long time (up to 20 hours), and the base, once charged, can charge the aids 3 or 4 times. The settings are easy enough to do for the volume and the 4 modes (road noise, conversations, etc.). The on/off button is the top button and slides to on and back to off. Now in the quick start guide, it is not very clear that this top button is the on/off button, and at first I found myself thinking that these would not come on at all. The actual instruction booklet points this out in the diagram showing what each piece is. Once activated, you have 10 seconds to get your device in place and inserted into the ear canal. You then hear chiming to let you know they are on. This is helpful and keeps the feedback and whistling from happening when first putting the aids in your ears like it does with all the others I have tried. I have noticed very little feedback or whistling while adjusting volume or settings. This is where they have noise cancellation working. I have had some feedback while wearing these and especially when my head is in a tight space or close to an open door on one side or the other. Hugging my daughter the other night caused some loud feedback that affected her as well. I really don’t like the ear domes that come with these. It took a lot of experimentation to find the right ones, or I should say the best ones of the ones they provided, so that I did not get whistling or hear myself while chewing gum or food.
I do find that these work as well, or maybe just slightly better than the most expensive Jabra aids I tried for almost 2 months. Most of the time I can turn down the volume on the TV and not have to use the closed captioning. Some conversations are still a challenge, especially with people that have voices like my daughter’s voice. There is just something about the tone or whatever it is called with her voice that I have trouble making distinctions sometimes. She sometimes talks softly too and doesn’t even realize it. I have also noticed that these have helped some with me not noticing my tinnitus as much. Perhaps these would help me hear even better if my tinnitus was not so loud and prominent. All in all, I believe these would be worth a try for many out there.
