Audien Hearing ION Wireless Rechargeable OTC Hearing Aid, Premium Comfort Design & Nearly Invisible

The ION Hearing Aid is very compatible to my expensive prescription Hearing Aids (HAs). I like how comfortable they are when I am wearing them. Other thing I like are the double dome ear domes which ensures that the earlobe is seal for no feedback (squeal) from the HAs. I like to longer delay in powering up the Has so I can properly seat them in my ears. The charging case is very compact and well design as well has portable and can charge the HAs at least 3X before you need to plug it in. As for hearing, the ION performs remarkably well. I can hear near the same as my Costco brand HAs. Some other observations is the you need to take off the tape (it says REMOVE) so you can begin charging the new HAs. The wire can be adjusted and flex to your liken. The instuctions are clear and easy to follow. If you are looking to try Has for the first time, I would definitely go with the Audien Brand great support and excellent quality. You will save a lot of money and I really think you will be very satisfied.

Work Very well! Good sound quality, long battery life, slightly smaller than many too. Just remember to switch Off when putting in the charger case.

I have been wearing my ION OTC hearing aids for 10 days. Are they as good as the $2450 pair purchased 5 years ago? Not quite. However, they are very close for a tenth the cost if you add in audiograms, fittings and setup fees. You only have to take the ION hearing aids out of the box, take a few minutes to read the instructions, place them in your ears and begin hearing every sound around you. Just like the expensive brand I can adjust ION hearing aids for different sound conditions. I dine out frequently and really appreciate the directional sound setting. I prefer to use setting 3 for TV. It seems to brighten the voices inside or outdoors. Since I live in a quiet area, I hardly require the fourth setting. Setting one or three works for me. I am sure that some ION users require the setting as our hearing problems are all different. Finally, the charger. I only have to put the hearing aids in the charger night and put them back in my ear canal when I arise in the morning. I am extremely happy with this purchase.

I have tried other brands in the past and had to send them back because of very poor quality sound, back ground noises and whistling. These Audien ION hearing aids seem to work great for me and I've only had them on for 30 minutes. I can listen to my TV now at less then half the normal volume and my wife doesn't have to yell at me or repeat everything twice. I couldn't be more pleased with the quality and I know it takes time to get used to them. I'm hearing sounds now that I haven't heard in years. I'm 87 years old and have had hearing issues for at least 20 years. I'm so happy with these hearing aids and I highly recommend them to anyone with mild to severe hearing loss.

I ordered these as a cheaper option for my father in law who is no in nursing care as we didn't want his $4200 hearing aids to get lost of stolen. They worked great for the price. lasted all day and easy to use. Then the left unit stopped working about 40 days after purchase so we could not return them. I contacted Audien and explained my situation. They responded wanting to help. They sent me a new set quickly and stayed in contact with me until they got to me. Thanks you so much Audien...

These work well but aren't able to produce quality sound. They do allow me to hear again and the battery allows me to wear them all day. Would recommend, just don't expect the quality to be great.

Be sure to buy Ion Pro 2. I have them both and give Ion 2 four stars. Probably one of the best OTC BTE HEARING AIDS out there.

These hearing aids work very well for conversations. It feels like whoever is speaking just got closer to me when I turn them on. Having to say "what?" a lot less often. The controls are easy to find by feel and fairly intuitive. There are 4 modes of operation which are accessed by pressing and holding volume button. I have a hard time remembering which mode is which so I wrote the modes down on the case of the hearing aids. Conversation and driving modes work well. Music sounds pretty good with minimal distortion. I'm not as impressed by the noise cancellation in a noisy bar or outdoor (cicadas) environment. I would imagine for this to be better there would need to be a lot more compute power in the device or some sort of tunable settings (like a phone app). Battery life is excellent as I don't wear them for long periods, only when I anticipate conversations.
