BlaidsX Neuro Rechargeable RIC + Programmable Hearing Aids for Seniors with Bluetooth Mobile App Hearing Test Audiogram & Noise Cancellation, Dual Mic & 48 DSP Channels | USA-Made Multi-Core Processor

Short version: fit, sound quality, battery life, and customer service all equal or better than my last prescription set. Only small issue is that with the larger earbuds on, the case doesn't like to close. Hasn't affected the charging performance at all though. Long version: So I have moderate hearing loss (+90 db in certain frequencies) and have had prescription hearing aids previously. They were top of the line Starkey with all the bells and whistles. They were great, but unfortunately I lost them in a customers vehicle (I run an auto repair shop). After running around with the insurance company, I ordered these just to have something. Wow. These are every bit as good as the much more expensive prescription hearing aids. The fit, the sound quality, 100% professional level. They give you several earbuds to match your ears. Go one larger than you think, they are very soft. The first ones I used fit well but slipped out of my ear canal throughout the day. Going up one size really helped, and are still super comfortable. The battery life seems amazing. I wear them for 12-15 hours a day, in a very noisy environment, and no issues at all. The app is great. Simple to use, easy to enter my hearing test results. I did not try their built in hearing test, but I suspect it would give me identical results as the professional test. One thing that I highly recommend is the smart fitment feature. It uses AI (I assume) to make minor adjustments with a few simple clicks. Getting feedback? Hit the button. Loud noises too loud? Hit the button. Voices too quiet? You guessed it - hit the button. You can hit each one up to three times for more adjustment. It works extremely well. If that doesn't work, you can request assistance and they will reach out to assist in the fitment. They reached out to me a few days after getting them to ensure everything was working well. Extremely good customer service, they even offered to send me different receivers (the part that goes in the ear) if I wanted the older style with the small plastic wire to help retain the receiver in the canal. Absolutely amazing, they definitely want happy customers. Case is nice, I like the fact that it has a built in battery to charge the hearing aids even when I'm not near a charger (standard usb-c cord). I'm not sure how many charges the case alone can do, but even once or twice is nice when off grid. Not everything is perfect: the case is small, and with the earbuds attached, it really doesn't want to close. Also since it is so small, there is no room for the (included) brush or wax guards. I have to keep the box to store those accessories. There is no volume adjustment (that I can find) unless you use the app on your phone. Not a big deal, just would have been nice. Overall though, I would absolutely buy these again. They were cheaper than my last set, even with insurance, and I can now hear conversations clearly again. They are nearly invisible, super lightweight, and I don't feel nearly as isolated. Hearing loss really can affect your mental health, and is a contributing factor to Alzheimer's, so the relief of being able to hear again is almost overwhelming.

Worked great right out of the box! I uploaded my prescription from my audiologist and sound quality is excellent. I hear voices clearly without feedback. The great thing about Blaids that other companies can’t do is the specialist remote fitting. I saved different audiograms in different modes. I wanted to change some settings in the outdoor mode for when I go hiking and submitted a remote fitting request right in the app. By the time I woke up I already received and downloaded the adjustment from the Blaids specialist and it worked perfectly. The best part is it’s included at no cost and I don’t have to drive to my expensive audiologist. I use them for streaming calls as well and find it works seamlessly. Previously I had a pair of Phonak hearing aids for $6,000 and find that my Neuro’s from Blaids work much better for 1/10th of the price. I had a quick question about which dome to use and called their customer service. On the 2nd ring I was already talking to a REAL person! Apparently they are open 7 days a week 9-6 EST which is great because I work during the week so being able to speak to someone on the weekend is very helpful. I found the closed fit dome works better for severe hearing loss, open fit with holes is better for more mild hearing loss as it lets in some natural sound as well. I tried other brands on amazon and found they were too basic with very little customization and no specialist remote fitting. The family member that originally recommended Blaids to me mentioned it is because of their professional hearing aid chip. He is an audio engineer so I trust his judgement. Highly Recommend!

I am new to hearing aids, so I have nothing to compare to. But these hearing aids have been wonderful. I can now hear my soft-spoken wife clearly and no longer need to say, "What?" The app is very good and allows me to customize the settings to match my hearing loss. Battery life is also very good. I am very pleased and would give these hearing aids five stars if it were not for the lack of customer support. So far, it is non-existent. I have had some questions and have never received a response to them. That is sad because the hearing aids are amazing. UPDATE: The hearing aids started giving me trouble. The right ear developed static, and I could not get any help from customer service. Terrible company! I will be returning them and giving them a one-star rating.

Very easy to initially set up though, as others have said, the bluetooth set up in their app is "very" slow to connect (and I have no problem with other bluetooth devices). That said, I'm not sure that this is the one for me. Definitely a good hearing improvement in the right ear but the left unit has a constant static noise --- no matter what adjustments I make, it doesn't go away so, either I'm doing something wrong or the left unit is defective. My experience with electronics is that if something arrives in less than perfect condition, chances are the overall quality is less than stellar. I have an appointment set up with someone at Blaids on Tuesday morning (it's currently Saturday) that was the first one available to see if they can rectify the situation. Beyond that, the ear plugs themselves (not the tube or the unit itself) are of less than great quality. We'll see how it goes Tuesday morning but I'm guessing they're going to tell me that the left unit is defective and will need to be replaced. If that's the case, the entire set is going back. UPDATE: After fiddling with it more, I decided to return it, bite the bullet, and go to an actual audiologist instead. The static in the left ear isn't my hearing as I can insert the right one in and it's just fine. The idea of spending $800 on something that comes in defective doesn't give much hope that it's going to last for the long term.

been on quite the hearing aid journey! Finding the right hearing aids can be a challenge, but it’s essential for improving your quality of life. Let’s break down some key points based on my experience: Amazon Hearing Aid Purchases: It’s common to explore different options, especially when buying online. However, the quality and effectiveness of hearing aids can vary significantly. Returning them when they don’t meet your expectations is a smart move. After all, you deserve the best for your hearing health. Professional Hearing Aids: The hearing aids i mentioned are available at Amazon and come with some impressive features: Prescription Upload: You can upload your prescription from your nose, throat and ear doctor. This personalized approach ensures that the hearing aids are tailored to your specific needs. Hearing Test App: The app is a valuable tool for fine-tuning your hearing aids. It helps optimize settings based on your hearing profile. Crystal Clear Sound: The absence of background noise is a game-changer. High-quality hearing aids can provide a natural listening experience without interference. Professional vs. Over-the-Counter (OTC) Hearing Aids: Professional hearing aids, like the ones i purchased, offer more advanced features and customization. OTC hearing aids are available without a prescription but may not provide the same level of precision or personalized care. Price Consideration: The $700 sale price at Amazon seems reasonable for professional-grade hearing aids. Remember that investing in your hearing health is crucial. Quality hearing aids can significantly impact your daily life. Audiologist Support: If you have any questions or need adjustments, consult an audiologist. They can fine-tune the settings to match your unique hearing requirements.

Was too optimistic, I guess. Only the left one works. The right one seems completely dead. Is there an on/off switch for them? No mention anywhere of that. But the left one powered up right away. The documentation that came up with the QR code on the card in the box describes the unit that has replaceable batteries. The PDF link on Amazon is better. Because the right one is dead, obviously the bluetooth connection to it fails, too. The problem seems to be there in the carrying case, the right spot is not working, so the right device doesn’t charge. I was able to charge it in the left slot but now whichever unit is in the right slot doesn’t turn off, so drains the battery and whistles in the case Compare to the Bose/Lexie B2 app quality and documentation and general fit. The Lexie holds together better but technically might not be as good. The app is pretty bad, too. Clearly not designed by professional Ux designers. Notification pop-ups all say "Hint" and they're not. There's an unlabeled toggle on the upper left that pops up one of these "Hint" boxes that is not useful. I’m a perfectionist when it comes to apps. But… I processed a return and ordered a new set. The vendor has been very helpful so far. Will update this later. Update: the second set performed poorly, so I returned them. Took a while to process the refund. They tested the second pair and found no problems, so I’m open to the possibility that I’m at fault. PhD in computer science, lifelong software developer. Must have slipped a a cog. All in all very good communication with the vendor despite me being a frustrated customer. They stuck with me.

This is my first venture into OTC hearing devices. My 7 year old Oticons aren't getting the job done and the $7000 replacement price is way more than I am willing to shell out. The hearing test went well and did a decent job for the first pass. While trying to enhance the sound, the devices kept going off line and in many cases the programming had to be reloaded. The programming and enhancement process would have gone quickly had the devices stayed paired. As for performance, sounds appear true but more faint than I would like. When the volume is cranked up, feedback becomes a problem (the main reason I wish to replace my Oticons). There are many options to tweak the sound and they are straight forward. They are almost too good at filtering out loud sounds and background. I hear my wife's voice better at home but not so much in the store. I can barely hear the clock ticking or high pitched electronic sounds. Everything was acceptable at this point so I had my wife call me and see how the phone call streaming did. I have an I phone and streaming does not work on I phone. That's a deal breaker for me If call streaming were not important to me, I would have been happy with these devices

Have had my BlaidsX Neuro Rechargeable RIC hearing aids almost one month. They are great! PRO: • Connection to smartphones via Bluetooth is automatic. • The “hearing self-test” feature is very good. I was surprised at how repeatable the audiograms are (although the volume steps are coarse). To satisfy curiosity, I put right and left aids in left and right ears and got almost the same results. Several audiograms are stored so those made at different times can be compared. • Several sizes of “domes” are included to accommodate various size ear canals. • The aids seem to be quite durable and well-made . • Several tools are included for maintaining the aids. CON: • The included “User Manual” is for a different (maybe older) model. • The “User Manual” is disappointing as it is sorely lacking in important information. For example, what the included tools are used for is not mentioned. After using the aids for almost a month, the right one went silent although it was fully charged. Called the support number and got a very knowledgeable lady who talked me through changing the “wax filter” which restored normal operation. There is no mention of a wax filter in the manual. Apparently, the filters must be replaced frequently and they are quite expensive. • The manual references several advanced features called “Smart Fitting” but smart fitting on my Android phone only lets me set the relative volume between right and left aids. Perhaps they are only available on iPhones. • There are two buttons on the aids. They are not mentioned in the manual but it is easy to determine they are volume controls. • The aids shut down well before the batteries still have more than 50% charge remaining; maybe get 10-12 hours use but the charging case is convenient to use without being plugged into a power source. • The sales literature shows the hearing test results to be a continuous curve when in actuality the results are just results at six frequencies (250, 500, 1000, 2000, 4000, & 8000 Hz). I have seen 3000 and 6000 Hz show up but if there is a way to consistently test at more than the six basic frequencies, I have not found it. (I am a retired engineer.) • There is an email address for support but I never received a reply when I emailed my concerns and questions.

I purchased this hearing aid for my father, and he absolutely loves it! He has been using it for the past two months without any issues. The setup was seamless, thanks to the support of Blaids' audiologist, who explained everything clearly in Hindi. I’m really grateful to Blaids for helping my father regain his hearing. Highly recommend this product for anyone in need of a reliable hearing aid!

Fancy item in the way that frequency can be controlled through mobile. Hearing does not improve. Voice clarity is very poor in all the adjusted frequencies. Waste of money.

The price is good for the configurations. The machine is making noise like a Sparrow sounds. The customer support is poor and not reachable.

After extensive research I bought this blades x neuro hearing aid for my Father. With the help of this hearing aid my Father can hear all sounds now. He can play with kids. He can listen to side talks. He can watch TV on normal volume. He can talk to my mother without any argument. He is back to life. He is very happy with this hearing aids. I am satisfied too. Many thanks to Blaids team. Pros: Many settings available for tunning It's rechargeable Good buid quality Economic price point Fits perfectly well Less weight almost it's hidden Inbuilt hearing test also works fairly well Online support team is great. Cons: Battery maximum it will come for up to 12 hours. But never saw it coming up to 18 to 24 hours as stated in the product description. App is little buggy Most of the time, either left or right hearing aid will get disconnected from app. We need to constantly reconnect it. The charging case box doesn't close completely.

Review of hearing aids Re-Edited Writing this review after almost 6 months of usage. I am a doctor myself and ordered these aids for my father who is himself a Dr. He has been already using high end heading aids of phonak company. Those aids had issue of jamming of switch and recharging mainly and also they needed to be frequently repaired. Those parts needed to be changed altogether by the company and were very costly. Also they happened despite using with utmost care. So I bought these aids in hope of getting good quality aids and helpful support. These aids have the option of resetting by the user which is theoretically very good. The problem is, the settings could not be saved by app on the machine. Everytime you took the machine for use they revert back and you have to reset it again. Now for last 1-2 months their battery is not charging well and one side is almost as good as dead. We contacted the customer support and initially they responded very well and tried to help. We followed every insturction and told about the problems we faced. I must say support was good and believe that they sincerely wanted to help. But this could not solve our problem. They tried to shift the support to someone here local also but they are not able/?? willing to help. The support also not contacting/helping appropriately now. I will say that the aids are not very good. May be there is lacking in the app, or their technology or their parts like battery. I do have to say that i definitely felt sincerity and genuineness in the character of one of the founders of company as he told me. They were very helpful sitting abroad. But that help couldn't be applied in their machines. Maybe our machine that we got has some problem or the quality is not at par. The intention of the company founder as stated in the details appears to be good and i really want them to succeed but our machine so far has been not good and now becoming a kind of frustration. Or they were just buying time so that the warranty period expires and they will be free. Because initially they offered to replace the piece but now they are not responding. So think well before buying. We hv recieved a new unit and i sincerely hope that it will be good. 🙏 Thanks. Will post further about the replaced unit after few days. Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for the best. 🙏
