Select 500 OTC Hearing Aids, Audiology Team Care Included, Bluetooth LE Audio & Bluetooth Streaming for Calls, Music, Media (iOS/Android), Nearly Invisible & Comfortable - Gold

I had a Stark pair of in the ear hearing aids that I had used for eight years. I had paid $5000 from them from a local audiologist. I’ve had these about 90 days and the hearing quality is better than other hearing aid I had.I have better hearing. I have more control over them because of the app I have on my phone to control the volume and environment. By environment, I mean, if I’m in a restaurant, I change it to restaurant mode and it cancels out the background noise and helps me focus on the sound in front of me. I can turn them up or down very simply from the app on my phone.The bad thing about them is that the Bluetooth part of them interferes with my bluetooth headset in the office and in the car. I’ve developed a workaround for this. Talking with clients through the hearing aids is not really good. But I found a solution to that.Just turn off the Bluetooth functioning of them while you’re in the car or in the office when I need to use other Bluetooth technology with which I have problems.This is how you do it. You turned it off from the phone instead of trying to work with it on the app. I have an iPhone 15. Open up settings and open up “Accessibility”. Then find “Hearing Devices”. Open up the hearing aids, which will come up at the very top of the page in blue. There are three buttons. “Stream to the right hearing device”. “Stream to the left hearing device“. “Adjust independently”. Turn these three buttons off. When I get in my car, I turn them off and they don’t interfere with my BMW’s Bluetooth. I do the same thing when I’m in the office. The rest of the time I have those three different buttons on because I like to listen to music or YouTube through my hearing aids.In summary, I really like the hearing aids. I enjoy the control I have over them with the app and then when I’m in a restaurant or walking outside. But I don’t want to talk to clients through the Bluetooth on the phone through the hearing aids or have them interfere with my cars Bluetooth. If I could not have turned that off, I would’ve returned them. My audiologist offered me a pair of hearing aids for $8,000. These costs $1,850 and work better than my last $5,000 hearing aids. But I had to find a workaround to the Bluetooth problem. It sounds like a win-win to me.

UPDATE 2/26/25STILL 5 STARSThese hearing aides are so worth it. I finally changed my wax filters and ear pieces FOR THE FIRST TIME. The receivers were CLEAN AS A WHISTLE. I finally after 3 months had a muffled sound and realized I had not changed out my earpiece or filter. Such a good product that the sound quality stood up to my wax level, and daily wear. CHANGE YOUR FILTERS AT LEAST ONCE A MONTH. I got lazy to be honest...but the sound quality of these aides is excellent.I did finally submit my hearing test that I did at an ENT physician hearing test from Jan 2024, I submitted this via scan and email and my hearing aides were fully dialed in at that time. That adjustment was done in December.I have worn hearing aides for 42 of my 47 years on this earth. I have bought many...many pairs of hearing aides, amplifiers, headphones, and bluetooth devices. I have bought hearing aides over the internet, gone to a hearing aide seller, and also been to an ear nose and throat doctor. THESE ARE THE EASIEST, MOST CONVENIENT, BEST VALUE I HAVE EVER BOUGHT. For reference my hearing level is severe, so I only hear at about 35-40% in both ears.My last hearing aide purchase was in 2020, through a hearing aide vendor. I spend $4000 for a pair of rechargeable fairly well respected aides...that wore out their charge in only 3.5 years. hence why I bought these.Jabra is a well known bluetooth and headset company. I was skeptical about hearing aides since the FDA deregulated and you can get them easier. I was skeptical about the price and the quality. I was skeptical if they would work with my hearing level and if I'd need to go get a physical hearing test.ALL OF MY SKEPTICISM IS GONE.The hearing aides come fully charged. The case is not fully charged but does not take long at all to charge. The case holds DAYS of charge. I wear hearing aides for 16-18 hours a day. The fact that my case is charging my hearing aides without them plugged into the wall IS A HUGE CONVENIENCE. The case also has a mag seal so the aides are well protected. THE CASE IS NOT WATERPROOF (which would be nice but it's not a dealbreaker.)The recommendation is to download the app and take the hearing test on the app. Not everyone has noise cancelling headphones and this will determine how the hearing aides are programmed. If you have a physical printout of a hearing test you can scan this and email it to the audiologist as well and they will adjust the hearing aide remotely. I highly recommend an in person hearing test via an ear nose and throat physician or audiologist if you have never had one. If you have not had a recent hearing test but have had one in the last 2 years you may be able to suffice using the hearing test on the app.I CANNOT STRESS ENOUGH HOW AMAZING IT IS TO HAVE AN AUDIOLOGIST UPDATE YOUR HEARING AIDES. Most hole in the wall mall plaza hearing aide shops have a "hearing specialist" that is not an audiologist...they follow prompts and use computer programs and most people have to go back and forth for their hearing aides to be adjusted.I had planned to send my last hearing test but didn't have the time so I took the app hearing test. I got a new program dowloaded to my aides within 12 hours to an improvement in sound quality.Then I worked and lived life for a week to get an idea of what further sound adjustments I'd need. I sent another request via the Jabra App to the audiologist. The Jabra program and audiologist support is so fast and so responsive I was blown away. My second adjustment came within 72 hours.The videos and orientation that come with the hearing aides is clear and concise. I have a 3 year warranty and audiologist support which is SO IMPORTANT.These are such a good value and a good product. I will update in 3 months.
