The transition to wearing hearing aids is never easy, and the stratospheric pricing traditionally associated with most of these medical devices has not helped. However, as of 2017, legislation allowed more affordable hearing aids to be sold directly to consumers, and Eargo has been at the forefront of that effort. Equally important is that the Eargo hearing aid family is more like consumer earphones than class 1 medical devices: They are easy to use, can be customized via a mobile app thanks to Bluetooth, and are charged in a friendly, attractive case. And from now until September 8th The Eargo Neo HiFi model is available for $ 2,700 when you use the coupon code LABORDAY20 at checkout. That's $ 250 less than the list price.
To be clear, that's $ 2,700 for the pair and all of the accessories. Thinking in earbuds it might sound like a lot of money, but hearing aid users are used to seeing much higher prices. In fact, it's not uncommon to pay as much for each individual earbud as you would for the entire set. Despite the far lower price, the Neo HiFi devices offer a really high sound quality with functions such as wind noise reduction and feedback suppression.
