Reviews
I have had my Philips Hear Link 9050 for two weeks and am clearly frustrated. I cannot get the right one to charge most of the time. I take them back they get them to work and the next night they won’t charge again.

The technology is there BUT everyone is different... access to efficient EQs and access to low and high volume limit adjustments... seems to be the only way to use this hearing-aids capabilities in full.

I got my Hear Link 9050's about two weeks ago... I like the TV streamer allot. I have had the Phillips hearing aids for 11 months. The warranty is only 180 days.

I just got these Phillips 9050s yesterday at Costco... The app is no where near as good as the Phonaks... but they are a good value compared to getting ripped off in a hearing specialist store.
