3. I got a set

From Hear.Com . I loved them from the start . I can hear things that I had missed for years . They send a Microsoft Surface tablet and the hearing aids to your home and do the hearing test with that which is a good thing with covid going around . They program them at that time. They are bluetooth which will work through an Iphone. You can get your audio straight from your phone to the hearing aids for calls or streaming. You can adjust them with the Iphone or an android for volume and tone or change programs. Mine came with a charger which will charge them three full times or charge for thirty minutes for five hours use in a pinch. I also received a pocket remote which allows you to change programs or adjust volume. My wife and kids like them because I went from 50 on the tv volume to their range of 25. The phone app also has a setting to help hear mask wearing people better. They are available for help all the time and have a great warranty and replacement if lost for three years and a very low cost for replacement after the warranty expires. Mine are Signia brand behind the ear. they are easy with a mask if you remove the mask straps a certain way. Mine are used about 16 hrs per day before recharging. as far as glasses i learned to let them rest on top of the glasses arms with no problem. They talk to you when you contact them about your hearing problems and match you with a set for your type of hearing problem and not just try to sell a much more costly aid. If you need payments they will do that when you contact them. I payed 46 hundred for them and would do it again if need be. If you have a copy of a recent hearing test they will ask you for that. I got used to mine quickly with no ear canal soreness with the extra small domes. They send me 2 packs of domes and wax guards and a dehumidifier every six months. If they need adjustment because of more hearing loss or you want something to sound better they can do that on the phone or through telecare program in the app. You also get to try them for 45 days to see if you like them before they charge you or your insurance for them. I know this was long but just offering info based on my experience. Oh and I gave them my debit card # when I contacted them without any problems as it is a requirement with them before they send the aids and equipment. If you are like me and wonder if they would help,yes real hearing aids work.Dont buy the cheap ones that are advertised as they only amplify sound and don't process what you hear.
