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, the Eargo hearing aid family is more like consumer earbuds 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 the end of October the The Eargo Neo HiFi model is available for $ 2,655 when you apply the exclusive promo code CNETSAVE10 at checkout. That's $ 295 less than list price and one of the lowest prices I can remember.
To be clear, that's a 10% discount for the pair and all 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 for you 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.
