Why We Recommend the Eargo 7

Advisory opinion
Let the automatic scene switching do its job for the first two weeks.** Resist the urge to manually switch programs constantly. The Eargo 7 is designed to learn your environments — give it time before concluding it isn't working.
  • Clean the petals every single night.** The floating petal design that makes it so comfortable is also the part most vulnerable to earwax buildup. A 30-second clean before bed dramatically extends the life of the device and maintains sound quality.
  • Use it in combination with a TV streaming accessory.** Eargo 7 doesn't stream Bluetooth audio (too small for it), but pairing it with a Bluetooth TV transmitter connected to your television means you can still get clean, amplified sound without turning up the volume for everyone else.
  • Take advantage of the telehealth support.** You never need to go into a clinic — but don't skip the remote check-ins either. A quick telehealth session at the 30-day mark can fine-tune your settings based on real-world feedback.
Our honest caveat: Several users have reported charging issues, and at $1,595 that's simply not acceptable. Before relying on it daily, establish a consistent charging routine and test the case thoroughly in the first two weeks while you're still within the return window. Don't wait until you're dependent on them to discover a hardware problem.

Reviews

People have no idea Im even wearing them. I can tell they are helping me because when I put them in when the TV is on the TV is automatically louder. Ive had issues with charging them.

James G

I can hear waaaaay better with closed petals and in ear canal aids than I did for 14 years with BTEs.

Dianne K

Not much of a difference between programs noted volume adjustment needs more updown control.

Roland R

I have used top brand hearing aids and none have compared to Eargo in hearing quality and comfort. Eargo has hit a Home Run in the Hearing Aid Arena.

Ronnie K

It takes awhile to get used to the ear buds in your ears. Also it takes a bit to figure out just how to adjust the settings for the sound in each ear.
