About the brand
Eargo is one of the younger hearing aid manufacturers that was founded in 2010. The Eargo brand is known for its high-quality hearing aids, and innovative design. The Eargo hearing aids were modeled based on a fishing fly with soft silicone fibers holding the aid in place. Because the hearing aid is made from silicone fibers instead of traditionally shaped silicone, the design fits most ears, and it allows for air circulation that significantly increases comfort.

Our Verdict
Eargo has a limited product portfolio, but a powerful one. Each of the models is designed with different kinds of features and capabilities, with many essential features being common for all of the products. The design is simple, yet innovative, and the hearing aids are practically invisible. Not only do they improve quality of life, but they boost the user’s confidence by being so discreet.
What users love most about Eargo is that this brand offers lifetime support for each of their products, and a responsive customer support system. The only downside is that Eargo doesn’t offer hearing aids for users with severe and profound hearing issues.
Pros
- Innovative hearing technology
- Up to 2 years warranty
- Financing available
Cons
- Not designed for severe hearing issues
- Most devices are not waterproof

Features & Functionality
Being that hearing aid products such as the ones from Eargo play a significant role in improving quality of life, it’s expected they offer different features and functionality options. Each Eargo model offers a number of features that users find helpful.
Types of Models
All available Eargo models are fitted with rechargeable batteries. This eliminates the need for frequent battery replacements but also allows the user to charge their hearing aid on the go if needed.
Additional Accessories
Eargo offers a wide variety of additional accessories, both for current and previous Eargo models. Some of these include petals, flexis, mic caps, cleaning tools, chargers, cables, and adapters.
Petals and mic caps should be replaced around every two months, and ear wax and other debris should be cleaned from the hearing aid on a daily basis to maintain excellent sound quality.
How to Purchase
Purchasing Eargo hearing aids is possible in two different ways – online or by visiting one of the hundreds of showrooms that offer Eargo hearing aids. If you decide to purchase Eargo products online, it’s recommended to start with the fit and feel kit first to make sure you’ll be comfortable wearing them. Once you’re sure that the Eargo design is good for you, you can select one of a few options and order online. If you decide to go to a showroom, one of the hearing experts will make an assessment and recommend a specific Eargo model that will best suit your needs. Financing is available for both online and in-person purchases.
Brand App
There are currently two brand apps available from Eargo. The first app named “Eargo” is made specifically for the Eargo 7, 6, and 5 hearing aids, while the second one named “Eargo Neo HiFi” is made for the Neo HiFi hearing aids. Each offers specific adjustment options for the models they’re made for.
Ease of Use
Setting up and using your new Eargo hearing aids is simple – all you need to do is correctly insert the hearing aid and turn it on. Every package contains a guide, and you can also find them online. No prescription is required, however, you’ll need to do a hearing screening first.
Purchasing any Eargo hearing aid can be done either online or through one of many official distributors. The user needs to take a hearing screening first, either online via the Eargo website or in person. Once you have the results, one of the hearing experts will recommend the right Eargo model that will suit your needs. If you place an order online, your hearing aid will be shipped within one business day and delivered to your door within 2 to 5 business days via USPS First Class Service.
