Run the in-app hearing test in a quiet room, not in the kitchen. Background noise during setup skews your hearing profile. Give it 10 minutes of complete quiet to get a calibration that actually reflects your ears. Use the Front microphone mode in restaurants. Switching from Everywhere to Front mode focuses the hearing aid on whoever is sitting across from you. This single setting change can make noisy meals feel manageable again. Buy from Walgreens if you want a no-pressure return option. In-store purchase gives you the ability to return it locally if the fit isn't right, without shipping logistics. |
