Summary
Product Description
The Audien Atom is an over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid designed for individuals with mild hearing loss, featuring manual volume adjustment and rechargeability with up to 20 hours of battery life. Priced at $99 per pair, it lacks advanced features such as moisture resistance, wireless connectivity, and noise reduction, making it a basic, low-cost option for minimal hearing enhancement in quiet environments.
