Reviews
Got these to replace my old over the ear hearing aids for moderate hearing loss. The set up was fairly easy. Had no problem with the app on my android phone. Fit in my ears using the medium seal. Hardly know that I am wearing them.
Queen
The Sony self-fitting hearing aids came on the market at the perfect time! While slightly more visible than my old custom set, there is nothing obvious about them. The set up was relatively easy.
Wil
Sound quality excellent; nothing too tinny or harsh, some occlusion effects but not as bad as other choices. Overall I am thrilled with these aids and think they are going to be a great help.
Fredy
I appreciate being able to adjust the bass/treble balance — many environments have loud trebly background noise and I can filter some of that out.
Remus
They are small and fit into my ear nicely. It did take some time to get used to them, but after while my ears got used to them and were no longer sore. I feel they were worth the price.
