My wife was recently diagnosed with hearing loss and when we found out how much hearing aids cost from the doctor we immediately went to Amazon to look and found these. She says they work great and lets her hear stuff she hasnt heard in years and it has been great not having to repeat everything I say to her a couple time before she hears me.. As long as you charge them overnight every day the battery lasts all day. We have a set of the Bose ones that somebody gave us and they have a smaller reciever but my wife does not mind that there are little bigger and are not as sensitive to things getting near them like sunglasses or just moving her hair, the Bose ones screech really bad when you get near them.

I have major hearing loss and these hearing aids work well! I have tried many over-the-counter hearing aids, and these are the best so far. I had to return a set from another brand that failed immediately, and I bought another brand at the same time as this set and it was nowhere near as good. I may buy a second set of these just to have “in stock” for when this set eventually breaks. The instructions to use these are simple and clear, and the price for this set was excellent too. I highly recomment the EarCentric EasyCharge Rechargeable Behind-the-Ear Hearing Aids.

These are obviously much less expensive than many such devices and around 1/10 of the cost from an audiologist (including their fees). I have some significant loss in the upper frequency’s of my hearing. I am male, age 72 – It’s about typical. It means that high voiced, soft spoken female speakers are hard to understand, especially if there is a noise like the TV on.
The Good:
The sound quality is pretty good and the noise level isn’t objectionable.
I can better understand people’s voices with these.
They are relatively easy to set up and control – There are few settings.
Although, as you would expect the high (treble) notes are accentuated, music is still enjoyable – the bass notes still come through.
I still have decent directionality of my hearing – I can tell what direction the sounds I hear are coming from.
The Bad:
The default earpieces (red card photo) are small and the tube it attaches to is very small. I had used these a few weeks and one night on taking off my hearing devices, one of the little silicone ear buds that goes into the ear canal came off and stayed in the ear canal. Perhaps I pushed it in too far. In any case I couldn’t get it out, nor could my wife see it. I had to go to an urgent care facility the next morning to have it removed from my ear. While I admit I may have inserted the bud too far into my ear canal, this was kind of scary until it was removed. The root problem seems to me that the default earbud needs to be in fairly deeply to work well, but it can go in easier that it comes out if you go in too far.
After I had the ear bud removed, I waited a day and then used the larger tubes and earpieces (yellow background photo) that also come with the device (aparantly for those with more serious hearing loss). These have the advantages of an ear bud that doesn’t have to go all the way into the ear canal to get decent results and the tubes are bigger and easier to work with. (By the way a common pipe cleaner does a good job of cleaning out these tubes).
After changing over to the larger earpiece tubes and buds, the devices are a bit more visible than with the default tiny tubes, but it looks to me like hopefully I won’t have to take another trip to the urgent care facility again to get the bud removed from my ear canal.
By the way – earwax can be a problem with any hearing device. I carefully clean my ears every night with a Q-Tip (be very cautious) and even so, a little earwax can get into the earbud and tubes and if it does, it will block the sound – especially with the default tiny tubes unless you clean them daily.
Update ~ 1 1/2 years Later:
I have had no real problems with these since I switched over to the larger hearing tubes and earbuds. They work and are simple to use. I have wanted a Bluetooth version like this and have tried a couple of competing products with Bluetooth. I wanted that to be able to listen directly to my phone for calls or music and to be able to set up the hearing aid response via Bluetooth. One worked pretty well aside from sounding bad on music from my phone (no bass at all) and physically hurt my ear at the end of the day because the shape was not adjustable. The other one didn’t work at all to receive Bluetooth audio from my phone and was comfortable enough but because it didn’t really fit properly it was prone to squeals (feedback). Compared to those, these hearing aids are great – No Bluetooth but they just work. This has caused me to raise my review by 1 star. Having 3 buttons instead a miserable single button makes them much easier to adjust (On/OFF and Up/Down Volume)
The battery life continues to be good. It recharges in an hour or two and I I use it all day and into the evening with no issues.
By the way, the larger tubes are 2mm ID X 3mm OD and Amazon sells those cheaply in both silicone and PVC tubing. The earbuds are pretty much standard and Amazon sells those too. Those simple little tubes that go to your earbud allow you to adjust the spacing to your ear canal from your outer ear for your particulars ears. Being able to use a variety of earbuds lets you find a size and style that works best for you. If this manufacturer made a version like this with Bluetooth I would buy them in a heartbeat.
And, BTW – When I want to read I just turn off the hearing aids. I think my grandad did that when he was tired of hearing grandma. It is not complete silence but it’s a feature.

I have had hearing loss gradually over the last 20 or so years primarily due to tinnitus. I had a pair of those $4000 hearing aids and they never fit well, I had consistent buzzing/ringing etc and batteries nearly every day had to be replaced. I tried a set of the big sellers as well and got no satisfaction either. I had my doubts about this set but had nothing to lose by trying and figured I would end up returning them as well, but I couldn’t be more surprised. They were comfortable right out of the box, charge lasts all day into the night and best is no obnoxious buzzing/ringing. I sometimes forget I have them on. So happy I found these and I highly recommend them.
