I love Eargo. They almost feel like there's nothing in your ear, they work great, they are easy to use, and, go figure, I can finally hear!!!

I cannot say how extremely pleased I am with my new Eargo 8's. It's like I am finally "normal" again! I am only in my 40's and have known for at least 7 or 8 years that I have 50% hearing loss at low volumes. I suspect I have had hearing loss for longer than that though. For far too long I just accepted I had hearing loss and couldn't participate in certain conversations. There were so many times when I would just give up and nod my head instead of asking people to constantly repeat themselves. I just felt I was too young to have to wear hearing aids and there was some societal stigma as well. These hearing aids have completely changed all that. They are comfortable and discrete and easy to use. There are times I completely forget I am wearing them-that's how comfortable they are. I also like that I do not hear my own voice in my head (whatever the term for that is) when I speak. That was a major downfall of the other brand I had tried. The 45 day trial offer combined with the option of financing is what eventually sold me on the product in the first place. There literally was no reason not to try them. The customer service is fantastic and the app is easy to use. The videos within the app are helpful as well and the charger now has a whole month worth of charging capacity. I wish I had known about this brand a long time ago!

In less than a year both hearing aids would only work for 6 to 8 hours. Not the 16 hours they claim. Both RH and LH were replaced and still did it again within the year. And the string to pull it out of your ear broke off within the year of getting the second pair. And while it amplified the sound, it was still difficult to here in a restaurant or area with lot of people. for the cost I cannot recommend this product.

I recently purchase a set of Eargo 8 hearing devices after using Eargo 6s for a few years. I’m very impressed with the Eargo 8 devices. The trumpet design is far superior to the older ear tips. They are much more comfortable and stay in the ears better. Most times I don’t even realize I’m wearing them. And Iove the new charger – it has much longer battery life and the inductive charging is a great feature. Overall, the hearing quality is very good and it’s much easier to wear them all day.

Upgraded to Eargo 8 and delighted I did. The quality of the amplification even at minimum is fantastic. Also, the interaction with the App and multiple options is remarkable. And of course, I still love being able to insert the devices into my ears and never have to worry about them getting caught on my reading glasses. Serves my vanity too. 👍

I’m about halfway through a 45-day trial of Eargo 8 hearing aids and have decided to keep them! Why? Many reasons. For one, customer service is extraordinary; whether you email or call them, they are responsive and professional. Secondly, the documentation and instructional videos are outstanding. I’m a retired technical writer and rarely do I see such clear documentation on what would otherwise be a complex, difficult subject to explain. Finally, the hearing aids themselves are comparable in sound and quality to a $6,000 behind-the-ear set I *almost* purchased from a local hearing aid center. I’m so glad I decided to try Eargo instead! Regarding the sound, I did Sound Match on the Eargo app several times, settled on the one that seemed the best, subsequently kicked up the volume, treble, and bass a bit, and am absolutely loving what I hear. The other evening I stood outside simply marveling at the sounds of crickets and cicadas; I’d not heard anything like that beautiful chorus in a long time. As for fit, I have one ear tip (aka “tulip”) in size Medium in my left ear and one ear tip in size Small in my right, because apparently my ear canals are not identical, which is ok. I realized I had to use two different tulip sizes when I noticed one was working its way out of my ear whenever I ate. As for comfort, I by far prefer these to the over-the-ear style of hearing aid I tested previously, which constantly interfered with the frame of my glasses and even slipped and moved when I was active. A hearing aid in the ear canal does take some adjustment, but I was fine with them after just two days! Now for a few comments, not deal breakers by any means but something I feel compelled to pass on because I had some difficulty in these two areas… 1. How do I transfer changes I made on the Eargo phone app to the hearing aids? If you use a gear icon in the phone app to tailor a program’s volume, treble, or bass and want to save the settings: • Be near the charger with your phone and turn on the phone’s Bluetooth (if not already on) to connect to the charger. • When connected to the charger, select Program Sync in the app. • When prompted to do so, place both hearing aids into the charger and wait for the sync to complete. Voila! Once the sync is complete, you have successfully transferred the settings in the Eargo app to your Eargo hearing aids. I love that the changes “stick” and don’t revert to some unwanted default setting later. 2. At what level is my volume (or treble, or bass) setting? At present, there is no way to visually SEE a volume, treble, or bass setting on the phone app. Instead, you must press the + button to go up (the word “max” is audible at the top) and the – button to go down (the word “min” is audible at the bottom). This drives me a bit crazy, so I’ve learned to count “min” as level 1, then 2, 3, 4, and “max” as level 5. You can practice this by going up and down the scale, counting “1 (min), 2, 3, 4, 5 (max)” and “5 (max), 4, 3, 2, 1 (min)” until you get the hang of it. Overall, I highly recommend Eargo 8 if you’re reasonably tech savvy, like to experiment a bit, and want to better hear people, music, phone conversations, and tv without straining. As a nature lover, I especially enjoy hearing bird calls, the wind blowing through the Autumn leaves, dogs barking in the distance…and my cat’s purrs. It’s a beautiful world. Enjoy!

The size is what I was looking for. Most people don't know I am wearing hearing aids. They go all day on a charge, I have yet to have them run out of battery. Also the customer service was great. I bought mine through Soundly, I was having some trouble adjusting them the Soundly rep was very helpful. But there was a problem she couldn't fix. She reached out to Eargo and they contacted me and sorted my adjustment problem quickly. My experience with the Eargo 8 has been great. I did another of research before I picked these, glad I did.

The new Eargo 8 OTC hearing aids are definitely worth the upgrade. I had been using Eargo 7’s. The battery now lasts 16 hours and they are nearly invisible and very comfortable in the hear. I also think the sound quality has improved. You cannot go wrong with Eargo 8 hearing aids.
