Sennheiser All-Day Clear Bluetooth Hearing Aids - OTC Hearing Aids with Bluetooth - Self-Fitting, Programmable Sound - FDA Cleared - Light Grey

I acquired this hearing aids as part of a campaign from #Reviewclub. I needed to buy these ones twice because Amazon sent me laundry product instead of the HAs due to a problem in their warehouse and still waiting for my refund (I will update my review if I don't receive my refund). As a prescription hearing aids user since 2019, My goal is to find a better option for much less price as second or emergency HAs, but surprisingly I can say I can use these ones as primary ones. PROS - Sound quality is exceptional. Including bluetooth audio streaming for phone calls and music from the phone (iphone user). Comparable with my ReSound same RIC style) and Starkey ITE I have. Obviously you won't have the bass as earbuds because the dome. Also the mic sound for phone calls and bluetooth distance range are really good. - Customizable by your own on 3 easy steps thru the app. The app plays a conversation streaming to the HAs and you select the clarity and volume level that fits you and that's it. - App usability, very simple and easy. You can adjust volume and Equalize bass, Mid and Treble. Also activate wind noise reduction. - Noise reduction, I didn't detect yet bad things here. They work very well doing it automatically. - Battery, surprisingly last more than my day entire day, sometimes I don't charge them at night and last till next mid day. CONS - You are not able to upload your own custom hearing profile from your audiologist. And the option for 250usd is not available because there is no audiologist in my area, which is odd not having one in Clarlotte NC area. - Domes. 3 domes size are delivered. The best sound is the bigger dome but I got occlusion effect (you hear your own voice and body internal sound louder) but you get the best sound in terms of clarity and bass. I needed to change to a smaller one to avoid occlusion effect but loosing the full benefit. - Sound Profiles, You can only select 2 profiles: Automatic and Live Music. And you can't create your own sound profiles in the app. - With the app you can't customize other advanced settings that are available for prescription HAs. Like AI or focused on any direction. - The charger need to be connected to the power. I have seen others with battery to recharge it giving you flexibility. - Sometimes if you are using your phone for music or videos, the phone automatically change the sound output to the HAs automatically. There is no way to configure this behavior, you need to shutdown the Bluetooth. Overall these OTCs are really good and at good price. I would ask for a little discounted price just because you can't upload your own hearing profile and need to pay for it going to an specific audiologist when you could do it by your own thru the app. Otherwise I can live with these for daily use and replace my prescription ones entirely.

My 74-year-old father-in-law has been dealing with hearing loss, and it's different in each ear. We checked with doctors, but the options they suggested were pretty expensive. I came across the All-Day Clear hearing aid and thought it was worth a try since we could set it up ourselves using just a smartphone—whether iPhone or Android. The setup was easy, and one of the best things is that the volume for each ear can be adjusted separately. My father-in-law has been able to tweak the settings himself depending on where he is—keeping it lower when he's at home and turning it up when he's in noisier places. He also likes that it's very discreet and not easily noticeable, which was important to him. Sound quality has been great so far. Voices come through clearly without too much background noise, making conversations much easier for him. He also finds it really comfortable and can wear it all day without any issues. The battery life is another big plus—it lasts all day without needing to be recharged constantly. The only thing I wish was different is the charging port—it still uses micro USB instead of USB-C. If it had a more modern charging option, I’d have no complaints at all. This has been a solid purchase, and I’d definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a good hearing aid without spending a fortune.

Update: EVEN WORSE, one year later, barely out of warranty and one hearing aid stopped working. Off, on, off, on. Called "Support", they said replace wax filter, earpiece and clean microphones. I already had but did it again just to please them. Nothing changed and remember, those would probably cause a less effective hearing aid, but not repeating entirely off and on. I found that with the receiver in my ear, if I fiddled (moved/touched) the part that goes behind the ear, that's when it would go off and on. If you deal a lot with cords, you know this symptom is likely a cord failing from flexing where it connects. These belong to my wife and she is very, very careful when handling them. On these hearing aids the "receiver" (the part in the ear) has a thin wire that plugs into the part that sits behind the ear. I called support to see whether Sennheiser could recommend some place for repairs. "No" was their answer. I asked if I could buy a new one to replace the bad one and the answer was "No, but you can buy a new pair and we'll give you $200 off!" Gee thanks! Will I have to do this every year? Also, I'm sure people do lose them occasionally. Then I checked a few other brands and found that some will sell you a single hearing aid to replace a lost or broken one. Also, searching internet I found that places that sell hearing aid parts do sell the part I need for $45, but I can't see how to unplug the old one and don't want to rip the wire off trying. When reading reviews, remember that buyers are probably reviewing an item that they haven't had for very long. Wait until they've had it for awhile, like when the warranty has just ended. Previous review (also negative): Ear tips must be replaced periodically, no matter what. Also, one could easily be lost when removing ear tip to install new wax filter every 3 to 4 months per instructions. I've been trying to get replacements (which are such an obvious necessity) for over 2 months. Their website says not in stock on all ear tips regardless of size. There is a "Notify" me when available button, but have heard nothing. Called the official "Support" number on the website, but they couldn't help, didn't know when or if they would have them, but offered me names and numbers of hearing aid centers that maybe could help, but maybe can't. So far I only get msg machines, without return calls. This is really bad for a $1,000 device of such importance!!! Sooner or later, we may find out that we wasted $1,000. I would think very hard before purchasing.
