Eargo8 my first experience
The Eargo8 hearing aids I recently purchased have opened a new world of hearing for me. Like many others, I did not feel like I needed hearing aids but decided it was time to give it a try. My biggest concern was that a completely in the canal (CIC) was going to feel like I was wearing earplugs but that was not the case. After trying all the sizes of trumpets, small worked best for me and are very comfortable. I did not feel like I was wearing earplugs as I feared. As I continued to wear them each day they became more comfortable to the point that at times I did not even notice and had to check if they were still in my ears as I thought they may have fallen out. The phone app has a lot of settings that allow you to adjust the Eargos to your listening environment and I found it easy to use. With patience and some trial and error you can pre-set your Eargos to optimal performance in different situations and change the program as needed. The support staff is A#1 and extremely helpful should you need assistance. I recieved emails each day with reminders and tips to help me get familiar and how to best use the Eargos. The pre-recorded online videos are great and the live webinar that is offered helps when you first get your Eargos. If after you try your Eargos you have futher questions they offer a one on one personal telephone call to address any concerns which I also took advantage of and was very helpful. Anyone interested in a high quality hearing device that meets the standards of a doctor prescribed hearing aid would do well to give the Eargo8 a try.
