Eargo 6 Hearing Aid Reviews

I hardly know they are in my ears when I wear them.

Still working on getting used to it, but very pleased!!

music is distorted. when I play an instrument there is a tinny background echo. the echo is stilI there after I installed a "fix" to the music program. I need to turn the Eargo off when I play. 

there is no easy way to turn Eargo on and off without using the app. 

I am getting a little itchy feeling after several hours of use. If I take them out, it resolves. 

I have the Eargo 7 so this might be irrelevant. That said i am very happy with my Eargo 7 hearing aids.

Just getting used to them . But enjoy the constant backup.

I didn’t realize how much I couldn’t hear. I only got them because my husband said I couldn’t hear. When I put them in, I thought WOW listen to all the sounds I had been missing out on. 

It takes time to become accustomed to them. 

Great product, love the size, outstanding customer service, very good operation.       Thanks.     Jim

its comfortable, easy to insert, definitely improves my hearing, and easy to adjust. Rechargeable is a big plus also  

Easy to use. Little or no feedback. Clear sound. 

I had to speak with the audiologist to correct the way I was inserting my Eargo's.  One of them had fallen out.  I found it thank God.

Absolutely love them!

Changed the closed petals to open petals today and it is even more amazing! 

I’m very pleased with my purchase of Eargo which has given me the ability to hear clearly again.

I am working on the fit,  still trying to get that correct. But I can hear better by far . Working on a picture for my advisor.  

At first they kept falling out.   I think that has been fixed.  They surely take some getting used to as it sounds like you are in a tin can.  They do "amplify" sounds but do not provide sound "clairity". 

I have an Eargo 7 !  It has so far exceeded expectations.

I love it. Staff very helpful  answers all my questions. Loves the way fits in ears and the small size not xeen in ears and my hearing  is much improved

A bit tinny on the drum percussion when listening to music

Easy to use but the left hearing aid is a bit difficult to get into ear canal

It has not helped in my left ear which is the one I am having trouble with. If thinks don't improve in that ear I will be returning them for a refund.

The quality of the sound is good except at the higher frequencies. Have used sound match twice to address that but the sound remains poor for things like the beep from the microwave and the washer. They are comfortable to the point I forget they are in my ears!

I like the Eargo 6.  They are easy to use, easy to maintain, and the sound quality is excellent.

I love almost everything about them. My only concern is that at times when I take the volume down to minimum, it’s still too high.

I really enjoy the Eargo 7 hearing aids. The adjustments made by your audiologist Ashley during my orientation conference call really made a huge difference. I am starting to adjust to many of the new sounds I didn’t hear before. I strongly recommend regular cleaning of both the hearing aids ( including petals and mic caps) and the inside of the charger unit. I had a problem with 1 unit telling me it’s battery was low after about 12 hours. I gave the unit a thorough cleaning and haven’t had the problem since.

Overall I am very happy I made the decision to by the Eargo 7 and sois my wife 😂.

I am not sure I am hearing any better. Certain sounds come across as "tinny" or metallic at times

My Eargo 7's are my first try at hearing aids.  I'm 74 and they really help me hear things much more clearly, especially speech!  I'm hearing things I have not really heard in years.  These things are really great!  I find the open pedals work for me much better than the closed pedals.  I have tried both the medium and large version of each style of pedal.  For me the large open ones seem to work the best.  But even with the large pedal size, I'm still having a minor issue where the the Eargo 7 devices very gradually slip further out of my ear.  They work great the whole time, until one of the devices will actually fall out.  So I've gotten into the habit of feeling for the position of the ball on the end of the removal thread, and if it seems to be working out, just pushing the device back in every now and then.  But even with that minor caveat, overall it is great to be able to hear better without having to have a larger device behind my ear in the same place where my glasses rest.

I like everything about it. I can hear now. The unit are comfortable in my ear and I am very pleased.

So far I really like them. They fit so well in the ears and I can’t even feel them! Compared to my last hearing aid (over the ear) these are far superior

I was told I have the Eargo7. I'm getting used to hearing my voice and I've discovered how to use the volume and sound. The only thing I'm disappointed in so far is that you don't have smaller petals. My ear canals are quite small and the device can be seen. I feel them in my ears and it is uncomfortable at times.

However I'm going to soldier on and hope I get used to them. It's nice to hear little things like birds singing and soft whispers! 👍

Back ground noise in a large group is bad hard to hear

Still adjusting to having something in my ear. When I go to the restaurant setting it seems to pickup more of the background noises instead of the conversation in front of me. My volume adjustment from the app doesn’t seem to work. Maybe I’m not using it correctly. Seems my tinnitus is more noticeable now when I don’t have Eargos in. Overall they are helping my hearing but have nothing to compare them to since eargo7 is the only hearing aid I have used 

It's the Eargo 7, and it's invisible.  (The question is referring to Eargo 6!)

My mother still needs to use her TV ears otherwise they have helped to join in conversation with others

Like the sound and hearing improvements that I’m getting. Still having some fit problems.

I like the Eargo 7, haven’t figured everything out yet, however am able to hear and understand more clearly now. Waiting for my check in call to get more answers.

They are going good and I know I love him.

They are comfortable and my hearing is a lot clearer

I have had my eargo 6 for a year and a half at this point, and while I like the fit and and the sound quality, I find they just don't last long enough to justify the cost. When I originally purchased them, they would last around 15.5 - 16 hours per charge, as advertised. Within 6 months that changed to roughly 13 hours per charge, which was annoying as the would cut out each evening when I was watch tv, when I really needed them the most. I complained and they sent me a new set, of which I promptly needed to return one of them (left ear), because it wouldn't hold a charge for more than 12 hours. Once I received the 2nd replacement on the left ear I was back to 16 hours, that was about 9 months ago. At this point, neither will hold a charge more than 12 hours, with one down to about 10 hours, so I have to wait until mid day to put them in if I want them to last until I go to bed, a real pain, would not purchase again.

First, the small size is easy to use & the hearing is great! I've worn typical aids that hang on your ears & ones that insert in your ears that block outside sound. You can make settings in your home so don't need to go to a dealer.

Second is the fantastic support from all staff at Eargo.  Lots of email & on- line support but if you have a question they are there for you. You have 45 days to return them if you are not satisfied but I knew within 3 days that I would not return them.

Getting feedback whistle  n when eating they move out of ear canal.

Discreet 

Comfortable 

Good value 

Good communication 

Likes: compact size, almost invisible in the ear, responsive customer service, clarity of sound.

Dislikes: occasional acoustic feedback, minimum effect of volume controls & sound tuning, ear canals can feel fatigued when in prolonged use.

IM HAVING TROUBLE KEEPING THEM SET ON 1 PROGRAM. 

Like:

Improve my hearing.  Invisible.  Comfortable.  Charge last all day.

Don’t like:

Too much feedback.  Unreliable control of features while in my hears using the iphone app.  Manual needs to be improved describing how the devices work and what the app features do.

App phone radio connection to aids is sometimes inconsistent due to interference. 

Hearing aids sound to ears is good. 

I've had issues with pain and itching, but have found commercial items to deal with it. I'm getting better with my Eargos all the time, and I'm happy with my progress. Your daily emails have also helped me learn how they work. AND - I can now hear the tv without blasting my husband out of the room!

No complaints at this time, still adjusting to wearing the devices. I use them mostly in loud restaurants to communicate with my spouse.

I wear them about 6 hours a day.

Good clarity with most voices , I think I am on the very edge of the hearing range  . I do like the fact that wind doesn’t bother them like my BHE . I do get some chirping when our grand father clock chimes . I must remember that no hearing aids are perfect . Amazing product for the size 

So far I like everything. Easy to use. Great cus

Good fit, great speech recognition, easy to setup, fantastic battery life.  And invisible for me in my ears.  Only downsides--can be a bit uncomfortable for all day wear, no blutooth (which I don't know if I miss or not), and still a bit pricey.  

But I'm keeping them and I'm happy!

Comfortable and work well.  App  and videos very useful.  

The benefits of the Eargo 6 were immediate: I could hear people, TV and phone calls better, and the hearing aids were virtually invisible. And the Eargo 6 is reasonably priced compared to other similar completely-in-the-ear aids. While some users have reported that the hearing aids itch, I did not experience this. For those reasons, I have chosen to keep them rather than return them at the end of the 45-day trial period. However, the Eargo 6 experience is disappointing in many ways. The restaurant program function does absolutely nothing, so when I'm in a noisy room, I don't get much benefit from the hearing aids unless I spend time manually adjusting the volume and the noise filter. The customer/owner support, which Eargo touts as one of its selling points, is simply awful. I had a good experience with the audiologist who conducted my welcome call, but other than that, I have found the customer service to be abysmal. For example, I have called twice in the last 5 days to ask to have an audiologist (ANY audiologist) call me back and have been assured I would be contacted within 24-48 hours. Yet I have not been called back by anyone. Had I known this a few weeks ago, I might have chosen to return the hearing aids. 

Pluses: nearly invisible, comfortable (after getting used to them), they do improve my hearing, very good support articles and videos, convenient 

Minuses: voices sound strange (like they’re coming through a pipe), sustained high frequency sounds cause feedback when listening to music, mic caps keep coming off and getting lost (had to order a new set after two weeks—could get expensive)

Buyer beware! Eargo's technology behind the sound amplification may be OK, but the app that controls the devices doesn't work with many smart phones -- yet that fact is not mentioned in any of their advertisements or sales-focused website! 
High frequency sound (NOT Bluetooth) is used for communication between the app and the earpieces for all functions -- initial configuration, volume, sound "programs" (which have no apparent effect), etc.  
I spent several hours alone and on the phone with a customer representatives trying to get the app to work. Eventually it was revealed that the app doesn't work with many phones!!  The suggested workarounds were complete non-starters.  
The only good thing I have to say about the company at this point is their 45-day money-back return policy.

Excellent sound enhancement, cellphone app does a good job

Hard to locate pulls for removal but it may take a week or so for me to become more proficient at locating them.

Still working to fine tune. Finally got feedback reduced. Have a problem with device in my ear, itching and disvom

I really can’t tell the difference wearing them and not

App is not as stable as I expected especially the frustration of not hearing beeps or announcements when I change programs. 

I like the choice of program settings & the customization of the Eargos to my particular hearing issues, Still having some trouble adjusting volume by tapping my ear.

As my ears (and brain) adjust to the sounds I haven't heard for awhile, every day just seems to get better and better.

One suggestion on the app under sound tuning for the programs - it would be great to have a bar showing the level of bass/treble/volume plus or minus on these settings.

Extremely comfortable and invisible allowing me to hear much better in a discreet manner.

Nothing so far they are perfect I highly recommend them

So far so good. My hearing loss isn't too bad but I can already tell that I don't need people to repeat themselves now. Good communication is my primary goal. Between glasses and masks I appreciate the in-ear design. 

My Eargo6 hearing aid is excellent.  It works very well, and it is very comfortable.  It is very easy to forget that you even have them in!  It is virtually invisible and does not interfere with my glasses.       
And just as important, the Eargo company is both very responsive and very helpful.  I highly recommend both the Eargo company and the Eargo6 equipment.  
Both the Eargo company and the Eargo6 get 5 stars from me.

Like:

• no around the ear wires
• self-adjusting with the app
• no changing batteries

Dislike:

• No complaints thus far

The devices are pretty comfortable to wear, especially after I while I don’t notice them.  Easy to adjust volume and switch programs. 

I am a happy puppy

Best hearing aids I have ever had. Wear them all day with comfort and don't worry about not  hearing what's being said whether it's the radio, phone or talking to a customer. I drive truck and this is by far one of the best investments I've done.

Not very easy to get out of the ear. Have sporadic feedback.

Raquel is taking SUPER care of helping me adapt and I like it - she makes me SMILE & think I am SPECIAL -:))))

Love that it is nearly invisible.

Hate that with proper care I can only expect 2 or 3 years use before they must be replaced.

Not sure I'm getting what I want yet. I'll need to adjust settings, I think, to hear better in environments with lots of ambient noise.

I hear things that I haven’t heard in years. The volume settings on my tv and radio are now one third of what they use to be.

I have been wearing the new EARGO-6 hearing aids for the last several weeks. They are, by far, the best hearing aids I have ever worn (and I have been wearing hearing aids for about 20 years). They are very comfortable in the ears and the sound quality is very natural. I particularly like the ability to adjust the volume and the bass/treble using the app on my phone. In addition, being totally within the ear I do not get wind noise associated with behind the ear types and they don't get tangled with my glasses and mask. All in all, I would recommend these hearing aids without hesitation.

Very easy to use. The only difficulty

 I've had is with the app but that is apparently due to my phone. These really do work great.

I will have admit,my pair of Eargo6 has greatly changed how I hear my surroundings. The built in programs allow me to hear sounds that seem more natural. You do need to keep them clean from wax buildup in order to maintain the best hearing benefits.

I really like the comfort.   hearing quality is excellent. The support has been very helpful.

I TRIED 3 OTHER $2-3,000 OVER THE EAR ONES TO NO AVAIL.  THESE ARE GREAT

How can something so tiny make such a positive change in your life ? These little devices are absolutely life changing - virtually invisible in your ear and the service and support from Eargo has been amazing. After having my new Eargo 6's for a week I went to Sunday church and for the first time in about 5 years actually clearly heard every word my pastor had to say. And no one could tell I was wearing top notch state of the art hearing devices. These are really life changing and Eargo really goes out of its way to help you succeed and get the most out of these miracle devices. The staff at Eargo before my purchase and after have been fantastic being knowledgeable - kind - professional and really wanting you to succeed in life changing new hearing. I just cannot more highly recommend any product more.

I have a pair of Eargo 6, i was really happy with them. Turns out that by mistake someone throw away my cleaning tool that came with the kit, i said to my self, don’t worry, you just need to call and order a new one.

Wrong, they don’t carry that little tool… 

When i called in to ask, because it wasn’t on the web page, they told me “buy a soft toothbrush and it will work better”. There are some tiny holes that needs to be cleaned and the tool was marvelous to do the job.

Now I don’t have anything proper to do it, and for a devices that cost almost $3000 what i spect is to have full back up from the factory.

I was about to order new petals and mic caps, but i will use the ones that i have until they don’t work anymore and then i will switch to another brand. It’s a shame because the devices work fine if your hearing loss it’s not severe, but what can we expect from a company that doesn’t have the cheapest part of a kit when it comes the moment that you need the expensive ones?

Honestly I don’t recommend this brand, not because the product doesn’t work, it does, but there aren’t any warranty that they will have the parts when you need them.

Update: eargo contacted me and send the cleaning tool at no cost, turns out that it was a misunderstood of the service guy that received my call.

He feels like a lot of first but I do like the options of being able to control the environment 

I like the fact that no one knows if I'm wearing them or not. Also love the different programming features, they work as advertised. I'm very pleased with them so far.

They are compact, and State of the art, Have been surprised at the features, the technology, quality and support.  Being my first hearing aid, I feel I made the right choice

Too much feedback for my high frequency loss.  would be perfect for someone with mild to moderate loss

I'm picking up occasional squawks or squeaks (feedback).  I think repositioning the Eargo's makes a differnce.  In general, I'm pleased.  Thank you.

The fact that batteries are contained, and the Eargo 6 units charge via the main battery modual overnight.

Like: invisibility, quality, customer service

dislike: cost

I liked the instructions, they were easy enough to follow. When I put them in with the open petals, it was so amazing. 

Not having any trials to make these discussions and my use efficiently

We were able to to select the best fitting petals.

Still trying the product, have only had them for a couple of days.  Making sure they are the right thing for me.

Once you get used to inserting them the process becomes very easy. They are almost invisible when placed properly in your ear. The sound quality is very good in most situations. They are especially easy to use if one needs to use a mask or glasses since there’s nothing sitting on top of your ear. They’re great for use in athletic activities such as tennis baseball or Pickleball. No need to worry about them falling off as one would with the behind the ear types. Eargo you should consider changing the tabs on the outside of your ear to increase volume instead of changing programs. All in all and outstanding technology.

Technology to change programs is very poor. You never know when or how to make it work. 

Biggest drawback to ptoduct

Simple to use, great customer service. I'm in my first week. Syncing to your phone makes for easy adjusting. You have the power to customize each device individually. If you need help to hear and are cautious about overspending, concerned about quality, or comfort and fit. This is the product for you. In the past I purchased external hearing aids that picked up more noise than anything else. The Eargo 6 sits comfortably in the ear and helps me to distinguish between conversation and unnecessary chatter. This is a game changer in my work environment. Thank You Eargo 6.

I like being able to hear better in conversations, but some people I still have trouble hearing because they speak so softly. As a beginner I am getting used to how far into the ear canal to put them. For me there is a "sweet spot" to hit for my comfort.

Very helpful and professional people.  Highly recommend Eargo

Easy to use and has so many technical advances.

Great service. 

So far. Noises around me are loud & tinny. Chelsea encouraged I would get used to it.

Does not work with my Samsung Galaxy s22 plus... yet

Insufficiently robust. Short warranty shows you have no faith in the durability of your product. Unable to survive in the ear canal environment without failure.

Eargo 6 are fantastic. I hear well from tv to phone to everyday conversation. I even understand people with masks on. And unlike my last hearing aids, the sound levels are nicely separated so everything isn’t on blast. They are comfortable and mostly I forget I have them in, and when I have a question or need help,  the support from Eargo has been great. Anyone with mild/mod hearing loss should trial them. Watch the videos, do the welcome call, set up your account and you will have a great experience. Highly recommend. 

The best hearing aid I have had. Having an app to fine tune each hearing aid is a huge plus. Ease of maintance is also a plus. The down side, I would say the removal stem, like most in the ear devices will break off sooner or later. I would like the charger to show a light while charging, and the app to show percentage of charge.

Just getting used to the hollow sound of my voice when I speak.

I have been very impressed by how much it has improved my hearing. My husband is more impressed.  

This is my 3rd set of eargos, I both like them more, for sound quality; and less, for poor customer service and build quality, than my previous sets!

The customer service previously was stellar. This time around in my 1st year Eargo stopped working completely, And  then the little string to remove them came off. Customer service replaced the non functioning one. But when I asked how to fix the removal tag I was quickly brushed off and ignored.

Haven't found any better devices for clear hearing though. But I rarely wear them now. Don't know why the removal difficulty makes me nervoys, but it does!

Adjustability, and sound quality along with the warranty.

Did my homework. I am 1 of many who have slight hearing issues and need to turn my TV up a notch to hear it. Been trying cheaper options in the last year and had not found happiness. Seen the Eargo6 and looked into it. And placed the order. Upon receiving I followed all the simple steps and had them in my ears with app on phone , taking sound tests to get them set up precisely for me. 20 minutes and I could hear things in a whole new world. I found that, patients in fitting and getting the correct petals was priority, Which also found comfort when wearing for long periods of time. I knew I was missing out, but never really understood until getting this product. Like anything it takes time ( 3-4 weeks) to understand and realize all the changes. But is worth it, and has changed my life...  Thank you. 

I like that there was nothing what disappointed me. I’m very satisfied about the hearing aids and about the customer support 

I very much liked the way the eargos are seated in the ear. Comfortable, barely noticeable, and excellent sound. I also enjoy how easy it is to maintain the eargo 6's charge in the chargebable case. These are exactly what I was hoping for when I first started shopping for hearing aids to assist me in any and all talking situations. I've worked as a musician all my living, trumpet player, and have developed hearing troubles, but the ergo's have helped me to feel comfortable in any social or business setting. 

Certainly appreciate that Andrea was friendly, knowledgeable, a great listener and made purchasing EARGO a comfortable step!

The way you can set them and the ease of doing it

It’s nice to hear a conversation again with family and friends. More confidence in my abilities. Thanks everyone for my Eargo’s.

Very comfortable, effective, and easy to manage and maintain. Great online support

PRO: Comfortable and very all day wearable. Don't need to e concerned to be caught outside in a rain storm. Can wear under a helmet. 

CON: So far, none. Still under trial. 

I like the technology, ease of charging in their case, how comfortable they are in my ears and the awesome customer service! I am still getting used to all the new sounds, but they are certainly helping my hearing and my wife is particularly happy!

Still in 45 day trial, but likes: 

• comfort and fit
• Sound quality beyond expectations (best if professional sonograph is provided)
• Rechargeable
• Great video tutorials
• Flexible payment plans
• Intuitive and useful smart phone app
• Impressive customer support

There is a continuous sound at the end of the day.  It was still charged.

They far exceeded my expectations. Best hearing aids I have ever had in 15 years. 

I like the fact that I can hear what I'd been missing for quite a few years.  My wife is happy to retire as my hearing aid.  Battery life is also good on the hearing aids.  After a few days of getting accustom to wearing them (and getting them to charge correctly), I have been wearing them 12-16 hours a day without getting a low battery indicator. The case will charge the hearing aids at least 2 times before it needs to be charged again.

I do get a little feedback from time to time when watching TV or listening to the radio but my hearing is really bad so the amplification set when doing the Sound Match is probably pushing the limits of the device.  After several runs through Sound Match the results have improved.

The case can be hard to close sometimes as the Removal Thread Grip catches when putting the cover on the charger causing one or both of the hearing aids not to charge.  Once I figured out the issue and carefully installed the case lid, not a problem.

Also, the lid does not always close entirely (a gap on one side or the  other) and I have to "jiggle" the lid around to get it to seat without disconnecting the hearing aids from charging.

After one week my only complaint would be charging the hearing aids.  Not sure if I just got a fickle case or if the design needs to be addressed.

More comfortable than expected works surprisingly well

I have been really impressed with the Eargo 6.  I love the fact that they are nearly invisible, very comfortable and I can hear so much better.  I also like the different programs and the water resistance.  The batteries last all day and they charge wirelessly inside the case, kind of like Apple Air pods. I previously had behind the ear hearing aids and the Eargo 6 works so much better and are more comfortable especially when wearing glasses and/or a mask.  

I Feel like there not even there, wow. My dads always had his glasses pull his hearing aids out of his ears. And now the Masks that every one uses today, pulls off hearing aids all the time. Both my father and father in law had this same trouble. Now Eargo's totally in the ear is such a great feature. Thanks:)

I like the water distance aspect and the new / improved app that allows for personal settings for my hearing needs.  The customer service has been and continues to be top shelf.

My experience with Eargo started last November and I have nothing but positive input for the company and employees. Everyone is so patient and customer centric, the way a company should be!!

The Eargo 6’s are fantastic!!! They fit so naturally that I forget I have them in. These hearing aids have returned the mid level and high tones to my hearing I’ve lost over the years. 

I do not hesitate in recommending your product to anyone that asks. Please keep up the good work and innovation. You have a customer for life here!

Rechargeable, easy to use, right fit and function without audiologist intervention, and equal quality to other more expensive hearing aids requiring audiologist for fitting and calibration.

As a person who has a problem. People wearing masks did not help. So having a set of Eargos made life easier for me. 

I don't know. I haven't received them yet. Survey me in a couple of weeks. 

These they work really well,  are very comfortable,  and are pretty much invisible.  Mine needed a slight adjustment and Eargo was able to do that quickly.
