Latest Eargo Reviews
I brought my second Eargo (Eargo 7) on May 31st 2024. It is a good product, however I had to have the right ear piece replaced because the original failed. A second was sent and that right ear piece also failed shortly thereafter. Called company and had them try to repair with no success. This week they tell me the right ear pieces are back ordered and they don't know when they will be available. I am 84 and this is a disadvantage for me at my age. Another complaint is that the charge should last 16 hours. This is not true! Please Eargo honor your warranty ASAP.
I'm a first-time user of any type of hearing aids. After researching multiple OTC and prescription brands I decided to buy the EARGO 7 based on reviews and ratings from users and hearing care professionals. I've had my EARGO 7's for just over six weeks and I'm very happy with my purchase. In addition to noticing sounds that I haven't heard for several years, I am getting feedback from my partner that I seem to be more attentive. One other benefit I've noticed is an improvement in the level of attention I was giving to my tinnitus, to the point now I seldom notice it when wearing my Eargo devices. I've found that by following the guidance provided by the EARGO staff and the video... Read More
These are great!
You don't even know you have them on. The controls are easy (using my phone) and super easy to clean!
I have been wearing Eargo hearing aids for 18 months now. I definitely can hear better now. I no longer need to turn the volume up high on the TV and have less difficulty hearing other people when they speak. I find the Eargos very comfortable to wear. All of my communication with Eargo Customer Care staff has been very positive. I happily tell everyone about them and definitely would recommend them to anyone who has mild to moderate hearing loss. It does take time to get used to wearing them at first but the videos the company provides in their app offer guidance from the moment you open the box through all the steps you need to take to have a successful experience of wearing them...

I feel like I was ripped off by these folks. I bought my Neo hi-fi hearing aids($2650.00) four years ago and the little petals that goes inside my ear was itching me like crazy and I couldn't find a way to cure it. I would put them in my drawer and pulled them out periodically but I could never really get them to be comfortable in my ears. I saw some new petals in an ergo add and called themTo see if those petals would somehow fit my Ergos. The ergo assistant said that model is been discontinued and we have no aftermarket products for it. What? I asked him "so you mean I paid $2650 for these items and four years later there are no ways of maintaining them?" I asked him if they had a... Read More
Best quality CIC (completely in canal) hearing aide available that is sold directly to the consumer. I’ve tried a couple of other popular options for less money and they were useless. I’ve had the Eargo 5 and now have the 7. I’m so happy with them, they have improved my quality of life and the customer service is first-rate.

I recommend the Eargo 7's
I’ve had my Eargo hearing devices for five months, and I have had the best experience using them! Not only is my hearing much better, but no one knows that I am wearing them (I sometimes forget myself), and I feel more confident in participating in conversations I used to shy away from. I would also like to note that if I had any issues or questions with the devices, the Eargo support team has been very reachable, helpful and have always followed up to ensure my devices work properly with helpful insights on firmware updates and proper usage, etc. I’ve learned to resolve some of my own issues by changing the preset programs.🙂 I highly recommend Ergo for a better hearing experience!
Upon receiving my Eargo 7s [purchased directly] I was, and still am, very impressed with the overall ingenuity of their design. Having previously used, sporadically, a reprogrammed, recycled pair of older Miracle Ear devices, I especially appreciate Eargo’s nearly invisible in-ear design, rechargeability, smartphone interface and user-adjustability. Even before employing the Sound Match feature, I immediately noticed a welcome improvement in both the quality and clarity of my hearing. The Live Support is particularly outstanding; and in all its forms, the help available is extraordinary.
I love the product and was very impressed with the customer service.
Outstanding products. I started out in 2020 with the Eargo 5's to help with my mild to moderate hearing loss and tinnitus. Significantly improved my hearing and even reduced the tinnitus. I upgraded to the Eargo 7's, which have even more technology, in January 2024 and absolutely love them. The Customer Service Department at Eargo is Fantastic! They have real people that really care. They go out of their way to answer questions, resolve issues or simply help you make adjustments or understand your hearing devices. Great value compared to traditional hearing aids that may or may not work as well as Eargos! I have found them to be a first rate company with honest people who make a... Read More
I am completely satisfied with my EARGO devices. I am hearing so much better. They are easy to use and so comfortable I forget they are there. I would highly recommend them.
I am extremely satisfied with my Eargo 7 hearing aids! I find them to be highly effective. It’s a relief to be able to hear people speaking without thinking that they’re mumbling, and outdoors, the sound of birds singing is delightful. I have to say that I am a bit vain. I know that I have been suffering from hearing loss for several years now, but I have been stubborn, I didn’t want to get behind-the-ear hearing aids. Whenever I see someone wearing hearing aids, my first thought is, “that person is old, that’s not for me”. The beauty of my Eargo 7 hearing aids is that they are truly invisible. I don’t feel self-conscious using them. I put them in my ears first thing in the... Read More
I've been wearing the Eargo 7's for about 2 months. I'm 63 and they are my first hearing aids. I had no idea how bad my hearing had gotten. I absolutely love the custom zones. In addition to the normal setting, I have mine set for "Restaurant, TV and Music." I was stunned when I used the 'Music' setting to listen to a very expensive stereo system. I felt the music took me back to what it sounded like in high school. Yeah, they are expensive, but they are worth every penny.
I love my Eargo 7's! I'm amazed that they help me to hear everyone at the table in a noisy restaurant, which is what frustrated me (and my family!) before I wore hearing aids. They are very comfortable, I can happily wear them all day when I need to. Battery lasts best part of a full day before needing a recharge.
I wish it was possible to replace the battery, because as it stands I'm looking at buying a replacement set in about 3 years' time, but all things considered these are a miracle for the price. My family didn't even know I was wearing them at first, they are almost invisible! Also, their pre AND after-sales support is great too. Buy with confidence.
My new EARGO hearing aids are outstanding. The ability to make program and background noise adjustments as well as volume, makes the experience an exceptional one. I tried cheaper brands. It was a waste of time. Eargo is the should be the first choice.

I'm very pleased. I'm actually surprised at how well they work. I expected improved hearing, but the directional aspect of the sounds is the eye-opener. I'm having no issues with charging or length of time they hold a charge. The continued follow-up by the staff and emails is icing on the cake.
I do appreciate being able to hear in Court as an attorney.
The problem I am having however, is that the left ear device in particular clogs up very easily. There may be a solution to keeping it clear. I do clean them every day and have done the deep clean and they work, but the left can become clogged (with wax) at the very tip in less than a day, even though I cleaned it prior and it worked fine in the morning, by late afternoon it may be clogged again. I may just have waxy ears. any suggestions?
As we age so unfortunately so do our parents. My father was having trouble hearing. We even thought he was not processing correctly because of the hearing issue. The grandkids felt he was yelling at them. They often avoided talking to him. His great grandson loved him but ran when he spoke. I could see he was isolating himself. He was not having the same fun conversations with the family. I finally convinced him to go to Best Buy to purchase hearing aids. When he saw how small the device was, he agreed to try them. I did the hearing test with him that prove to him he needed them. He put them on and now only takes them off to recharge them. He can have conversations! I just spoke to him... Read More
If you were tired of saying, watch all the time and family members are frustrated repeating themselves because you cannot hear them clearly, the Eargo 7 might just be the product for you. I know it was for me.
I have been using it for over a year now, and I'm completely satisfied. The fact that they are nearly invisible, is a huge bonus no clunky over the ear hearing aids for me!
I highly suggest you give it a try satisfaction guaranteed, or your money back, so what the heck. The online support is great you will get your own audiologist who will contact you after the purchase. It was smooth sailing for me. I believe it will be for you as well.
Good luck!

I have been wearing my Eargo 7s for 9 months now and they have been all that I hoped they would be AND MORE. Comfortable, invisible, excellent quality normal hearing and super adjustable by either tapping my ear to switch modes or finer control with the app. In social situations, parties, restaurants, etc.. I am very comfortable hearing others clearly and can participate in conversations I felt I was left out of before hearing was restored with Eargo aids. Also TV volume is not only down by more than 1/2 but I can understand dialogue clearly. Also I no longer have to constantly ask my wife what she said, or speak louder, which was bothersome to us both. The technology in these tiny... Read More
As a newcomer to hearing aids, I researched the new OTC varieties. I was interested in an “in the ear device” and wanted one that was “self fitting”. I read about and decided to go with the EARGO 7. These were more expensive than many other OTC devices. But they had what I wanted and they also came with hearing specialists serving as support. I have not been disappointed. At first I worried that my ear canals were too small for the devices, but my hearing support person was outstanding in offering suggestions to me, and was even able to modify the info coming into my particular devices based on my comment to her regarding high pitched sounds I was hearing. She gave suggestions and... Read More
Hey there! I wanted to have a little chat with you about something pretty important that I've been consistently talking about in my Eargo product reviews. It's all about how Eargo has had a profound impact on my life and brought about some major improvements. I genuinely believe that connecting with our friends and the world around us is key to our overall well-being, and Eargo has played a huge role in helping me stay involved as an active CEO, even in my 70s. And let me tell you, as I head into retirement, I have full confidence that Eargo will keep on being effective in the new year of 2024. Now, being a proud USC alumni with MS and PhD degrees, I always keep a close eye on the... Read More
I have well not good hearing, but not terrible either. I use the aids when going out to hear conversations in restaurants and other venues, I now can go out to dinner at a dinner with a show venue I can hear my friends. These hearing aids are by far the best ones in terms of sound quality and background noise reduction. I like the different volume levels for different situations. Plus, they are amazingly comfortable. After a bit, I do not even notice them. Worth the investment for me. The small portable case also acts as charging base and it also helps carry and store the pieces safely, but the top comes off too easily and needs a small redesign to provide a latch to ensure...
