The app for eargo 6 does NOT work with S22 SERIES phones!!
Buyer BEWARE
hallo i am a Lebanese women 78 years old .i brought an Eargo aid 6 from U S one month ago .
Can i have the videos in French language ?
Do you have a representATIV of the Eargo in Lebanon ?
I have had the Eargo Neos since they came out. They replaced the charger once and I had to buy another right unit after the warranty expired. Now the left one is no longer working and I am looking at the Eargo 6. I have had no trouble with the tap system but my dog can bark and change the channel sometimes. I think my hearing is right on the edge for the Eargos now and I am considering other providers. The trouble is that the Eargos are the most comfortable and invisible hearing aids on the market now that are also rechargable
I have to ask. Were you compensated for reviewing the eargo6 and was the compensation based on your review?
A great video, thanks. Question, are hearing aids affected by airport screening devices?
I just ordered a pair. They cost $2600 for the pair. I have qualified for a two year zero percent loaf from Bread Financial. It was an easy process to order and get their financing. I have 45 days to return them if I choose. I will update you when I have some time using them.
Can the eargo 6 help with severe hearing loss? I have great lows but no highs?
This is not a hearing aid. It is a sound enhancer. Do not waste your money or your insurance benefit on this garbage.
I had these on trial. The form factor is discrete. Battery life each day was awesome. None of the petals worked to keep the units in my ears, especially while eating or talking at length. The Eargos slid out of my ears and I had to keep pushing them back into place.
Feedback was an issue for me. I also experienced program changes that were triggered by noises in the environment.
The app could be improved to give you a better orientation to your settings for volume, treble, and bass. What does that mean? Well, from the default positions, you get two clicks up or two clicks down for a total of 5 positions. Your treble settings, for example, can be different in each of the programs (normal, meeting, restaurant, music). When you switch between programs, you can’t see what your treble settings are for each program. This increases your learning curve to find your sweet spots for different environments.
As for sound quality, it was OK for everyday situations. There were oddities. Turn signal clicks in my car had a tinny quality to them. A Steinway piano that a friend plays sounded like a saloon piano in a western movie. But for everyday situations where I talked with people, my hearing and understanding improved.
The staff were friendly and were genuinely helpful. My refund during the trial was processed without hassle or undue delay. I was glad to give these a try. I will continue to follow product development. If increasing the size of the form factor could accommodate circuitry for better sound processing, I’d recommend Eargo to do that.
It's all irrelevant now with the way management is operating I doubt Eargo will last the next 2 years.
🙏
Thank you for that. I'm trying to learn how these things work and perform. Yours was a thorough review, and at the end you revealed the price and I felt like I wasted my time.
I feel I only need help around family and friends, not at work, or anywhere else. Just where there are people in front of background noise.
I'll check out some more of your stuff as I muddle through.
i wish i could get someone to fix my eargo aids
Any problems with size? My earcanals are very small.
Doctor Cliff, I really appreciated your comments on the Eargo 6. i was seriously considering them. but i have a severe hearing loss, and those are for miled tomoderate .hearing loss. im interisted in the Cost go hearing aids, the premium 10.0t they also have a three year warentee good service, and a decient price, also thanks for recamending them, i took your advice three years ago, and bought the kirklands from cost go, was pleased with there service.. While adjusting my hat on a windy day, i lost an aid that fell off my ear, It was under warentee and they re placed it. Happy about that!..Anetas husband!.
Dr. Cliff- Some of the problems that I experienced with my Eargo 5 hearing aids were:
– The charging case seemed to discharge at random and I would be left with both dead aids and a dead case
– The app and connectivity was terrible. The 75%+ volume requirement because of the way the app communicates with the aids is just not great in my opinion. And changing the volume on the app as a remote control was clunky.
– Battery life of the aids was not as good as they claimed, and I would frequently see dead aids after about 8-10 hrs.
– Tap controls rarely worked.
– The fact that the aids didn't change both sides when you changed the program by tapping is so.dumb.
As my first pair of 'hearing aids', I thought that the aids themselves did their job for the most part, but the clunky, underdeveloped, and overpriced technology on the user interface side, and the hardware built into the case, were bad enough to make me return them. I'm hesitant to try the Eargo 6 for those reasons.
I received my Eargo 6 units yesterday and they were junk. I plugged them in for the recommended 4 hours charging. There were 4 solid lights showing for both L and R when I plugged them in, but I left them in for 4 hours. Then I proceeded to set them up with the phone app and all was great…for 3 hours. Then the L one shut off, indicating low charge. I left them in the charger, the charger plugged in, over night and now the R unit is only showing 25% charge and will not turn on. Phone support says it will take up to 2 days to initiate a return.
Thanks a lot Dr Cliff!
I was one of those asking for a review of this device …
You are very attentive to the requests your viewers make and it is well appreciated.
Thank you for the awesome videos, Dr. Cliff. I got my Widex 440 hearing aid for my left ear a few days ago and I'm really enjoying it so far. I'm so happy that music finally sounds good to me again. 🙂
Great video!!! Thank You!!!
You are professional and good person , thank you
I have had Eargo neo Hifi for 2 years. I like them but there have been problems. The main one was the microphone ports were too small so they clogged easily. Eargo service was good and there was some delay for replacements during the pandemic. Mine had a 2 year warranty when I purchased which has expired now. It seems like they have 2 year warranties on whatever is the current model (eargo 6) and 1 year on older models. I didn't have any feedback problems with mine. A problem was knowing how to adjust them for my moderate hearing loss. Just had to adjust them by ear. 😀. Thanks for your videos Dr. Cliff they have been informative and helpful in my hearing education.
these or the new Phonak Virto titanium P90?
I have a pair of hi fi eargos sadly I had constant issues feedback metallic noises in my ears when using different programs charging issues do to my personal experience sadly I do not recommend them to anybody
I use eargo 5 and it really helped me a lot. My tinnitus is reduced.. after a month I am addicted to them and there is feedback but only when microphone has some dirt or they are loose into ear
how many prices Saudi riyal,
I am Bangladeshi,
Stay in Saudi
Is There Any Hearing Aids Available For High Pitch loss ? I have Unilateral High-Pitched 70% loss In My left Ear With High Pitched Tinnitus , Right Ear Normal .
Could you please make a video on how to verify sound recover. Would really appreciate it.
I started with eargo about 3 years ago and sent them back since they didn’t solve the speech problem. By the way they charged me 100.00 fee to return as a “cleaning fee”. Since I was in construction, every nearby bang of a hammer or other loud noise caused them to change programs so they had to go.
When I look at my hearing test printout my hearing loss isn’t mild to moderate, rather mild to severe and still have difficulty understanding people from time to time using resound re961. Not sure what direction I’ll go when these are no longer serviceable.
I bought Eargo 6 this morning and only recently noticed the review. Thanks 🙏
Apples to apples, just curious—what could one get in the same price range (including any service charges) from a clinic like yours? Or at Costco or the VA?
Thanks for what you do Dr Cliff, I really believe you give us your unbiased opinions.
As this may be the year I first get hearing aids, I cannot say how much I appreciate your detailed videos, Dr. Cliff. You are providing a REAL service to those with hearing loss.
That was really interesting. You should do more test like this on real hearing aids as well and not just read the specs sheet like you usually do
Thank you for your information Dr. Cliff 💕👏🏼
I bought the eargo neo hi-fi late in 2020 and had nothing but issues with them. I used them for almost year after replacing the right device 6 times and the left twice. I finally worked out a refund with eargo and returned them. They did not work for me at all.
Dr. Clff, thank you a a very thorough review! I have used Eargo units since their first generation. In my own testing, I found results similar to yours and saw their significant technical improvements tended to skip a generation. For example, while owning and and using their Max aids, I tested their Neo aids and found only a slight benefit and returned them. When next testing Neo HiFi versus Max, I found significant inprovement and I upgraded. After testing the Neo 5 versus Neo HiFI, I saw little reason to make a switch. Unfortunately my hearing loss is now greater than Eargos are designed to treat, so no Neo 6 tests. I now use a custom ITE unit, but do miss some of Eargo's advatages. Being located further down in the ear they can localize sound better than my ITE's, their design has no occlusion, and their app is more robust than prescription aid's apps. Although my custom ITE's are an improvement versus Ergos, the hearing aid industry still has room for improvement as (other than Earlens) frequency cutout is ~8KHz limiting hearing range for music.
Cliff, your observations are spot on. I returned my pair because of feedback issues. My hearing loss is high frequency and I couldn’t stand the metallic sound and the echo. I also had trouble finding the string at times. I’m trying out the more ones now. It’s a superior product. But, as you say the sixes are actually quite good, it’s just that my needs are more demanding as a musician. Thank you for your honest review and your work in general.
Thank you for the review, Dr. Cliff!
Thanks, Dr. Cliff. The major downside here is the price. You and I know that we can go to Costco and get the KS10, which is a Phonak Paradise 90RT, complete with Real Ear Measurements and lifetime service for less than HALF of this price. I don't know how Eargo can justify this. Thank you for keeping us up to date!
How about a review of earlens hearing systems
