Reviews
After about 1 month of wearing them, the ringing in my left ear has subsided quite a bit. I have found that my hearing in loud environments such as restaurants and bars has also been noticeably improved.
Lyna
I have now had the Oticon Real for 1 month and they are excellent. Good sound quality, clear and comfortable to wear. The app is easy to use, even for a technically challenged person like me.
Hak
The sound quality is excellent and they are very comfortable. I had my hearing tested through my ENT provider and was able to test drive two hearing aids for comparison.
Anynomous
Love being able to connect them from an app on my iPhone. Love being able to charge them overnight with the charging station.
Mal
I hear things outside that I wasn't hearing before. Dogs barking, cars going by, those type of things
