  • Questioni AM A MUSICIAN(GUITARIST) and want natural sound of the guitar how is the musical quality

    Asked by fran.

    • Answer Hello! First, a little background. Eargo's 2nd headquarters is in Nashville and we've fit numerous musicians in the city. As the person responding, you should also know that I'm a semi-pro guitarist as well as an audiologist. There are few technical things I can mention. 1) The placement of Eargo at the entrance of your ear canal allows the outer ear to function normally to funnel sound into the microphone. This will give a more natural sound experience compared to a behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aid. 2) The use of Flexi Fibers allows the ear canal to remain "open" allowing lower frequency sounds to enter the ear canal unblocked. 3) The Neo HiFi has an extended frequency response which is helpful for speech understanding and listening to music. 4) Our audiologists can do remote programming of the hearing aids if needed for fine-tuning. We've worked with so many musicians who have tried traditional BTE hearing aids who love the sound and discreet fit. The in-canal fitting also allow for use of large cup style ear phones, All that being said, any hearing aids' performance will be highly subjective to the person wearing it. A guitar tone that sounds great to me may not be to your liking. Make sense? That's you have a 60-day trial period when you purchase through Best Buy to really evaluate Eargo in your real life and work closely with our team. I hope this helps!

  • QuestionDo Eargo hearing aids help with tinnitus?

    Asked by ChicagoEddie.

    • Answer Eargo hearing aids are not specifically designed to treat tinnitus. The sound amplification provided by medical-grade hearing aids like Eargo can provide some relief by "masking" the effect of tinnitus by amplifying speech and environmental sounds. Tinnitus is commonly perceived as ringing, hissing, buzzing, clicking or roaring in the ears. The description varies from person to person. Eargo does not offer any assurance that our hearing aid will provide relief from tinnitus.

  • QuestionCan these be worn 24/7 and in water

    Asked by Hear.

    • Answer Eargo hearing aids are designed to be worn about 16-18 hours a day and need to be recharged each evening. You do not want to submerge them in water or they will be ruined. They can be worn while exercising or out in the rain, but they cannot be saturated or submerged.

  • QuestionWhat adjustments or personalization can Eargo’s support team make to the hearing aids?

    Asked by Steven66.

    • Answer Eargo’s team of licensed hearing professionals are able to personalize the hearing devices on behalf of an Eargo user to customize the sound quality, alter device performance in noise and manage the programs. They can customize the number, order, and type of programs and help mitigate an issue like feedback (or whistling), should it occur. This is done remotely by using the Eargo app and Bluetooth connection in the charger. It's very easy to do.

  • QuestionWith device being in ear canal do you get a plugged up sound or echo sound.... Or something you have to get use to...

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Good question. Eargo hearing aids are designed with patented "Flexis" that come in different sizes and styles. Their design allows the ear canal to remain "open" so that certain sounds a person can hear well will pass through naturally and the Eargo design does NOT give the wearer a plugged feeling like traditional hard completely in-the-canal hearing aids.

  • QuestionCan I purchase only one? I have hearing loss in one ear only.

    Asked by Anonymous.

    • Answer Eargo hearing aid systems are only sold in pairs. There have been numerous people over the years who bought Eargos and only have one-sided hearing loss. They choose to use the other device as either a back-up or they rotate use to make both last longer in general. The cost of a pair of Eargo hearing aids may actually be the same or less than buying one traditional behind-the-ear hearing aid. If you want to discuss this with a hearing professional please call 800-615-9000.

  • QuestionWill they fit most ears?

    Asked by Bill.

    • Answer Eargo hearing aids fit approximately 80% of ears. The soft medical grade silicone Flexis come in different shapes and sizes to conform to the shape of your ear canal. In addition your 60-day trial period from Best Buy allows you to work closely with Eargo's team of licensed hearing professionals to ensure the best fit. If for any reason your Eargos do not fit your canals comfortably within the 60 day trial period, you are able to return them for a full refund.

  • QuestionI work construction will these cut high skill saw noise

    Asked by saws.

    • Answer Eargo hearing aids are an FDA registered exempt medical device designed to improve mild to moderately severe high frequency hearing loss. They are not hearing protection and therefore cannot lessen the sound damage from skill saws. Hearing protection should be used when operating machinery like this.

  • QuestionI have lost most of my hearing between 3,000 and 6,000 Hz. Do these hearing aids re-map the higher frequencies to lower frequencies so they can be heard?

    Asked by Dave.

Eargo provides a free consultation with one of their hearing professionals if you'd like your hearing test to be reviewed to see if Eargo may be an option. A second opinion never hurts.

  • QuestionI suffer with tinnitus and hearing loss of my left ear, 50% according to the audiologist. Can the Eargo help with the constant ringing?

    Asked by dirtinmypocket.

    • Answer All hearing aids, including Eargo, are designed to address speech clarity and hearing loss first. As a secondary benefit from wearing Eargo, some people report that their tinnitus becomes less noticeable. I wish we could tell you Eargo hearing aids can make tinnitus go away, but we can’t. Since you report unilateral hearing loss and constant tinnitus, we strongly suggest getting a copy of a recent hearing test from a local hearing professional and consulting with an Eargo licensed hearing professional about whether their hearing aids would be appropriate for you. To get started, please call them at 800-615-9000 and a sales team member can set up this consult.

  • QuestionI am allergic to latex, of what material are the Eargo Neo hifi made? 2nd question: have they come out w/ color other than black yet?

    Asked by MamaMac.

    • Answer Hi. Eargo hearing aids have no latex in their materials whatsoever. The following information is from the technical R&D team - The plastic enclosure material on the outside is PC+PBT. Specific resin is Sabic Xenoy 5220U. The metal contacts are Stainless Steel. Specific grade is 316L. Regarding the black color, there is a specific reason we will only ever make Eargos in black. The black color is designed for the hearing aid to be undetected when worn. Eargo devices fit completely in the ear canal. The microphone opening sits flush in the black shadow of the ear canal opening which helps it look virtually invisible. If it was any color on any skin type, you would see it. I hope this helps.
