What You Should Know About Eargo’s Hearing Aids
Eargo offers four digital in-canal hearing aids, and all Eargo hearing aids are sold in pairs. The Max is Eargo’s entry-level device, and it’s designed to be user-friendly, comfortable and highly effective for those living with mild to moderate hearing loss.
The HiFi Neo is Eargo’s next step up, designed to provide an even clearer hearing experience. This model features enhanced noise and feedback reduction and amplifies mid and high frequencies for a natural sound. The Eargo 5 boasts a unique Sound Match feature, which enables remote hearing screenings and tunings so users’ devices can be custom-adjusted without needing to visit a hearing specialist. The newest design, Eargo 6, uses Sound Adjust technology to automatically optimize the soundscape as wearers move between different environments.

Eargo Max
The Eargo Max is Eargo’s most affordable hearing aid, and like all Eargo devices, it’s a digital, in-canal device geared toward individuals who have mild to moderate hearing loss.
Active noise cancellation and dynamic feedback reduction are included on the Eargo Max. Users can select between the four preset sound profiles by simply double-tapping on their hearing aid. The Eargo Max is powered by built-in rechargeable batteries that are charged in the included charging case, and the silicone Flexi earpieces should be replaced every three months.
The Eargo Max costs $1,450 per pair, and qualified consumers can finance their hearing aids for as little as $67 per month. A set of three pairs of Flexis costs $25, or about $8.33 per pair.
Eargo Neo HiFi
Eargo Neo HiFi is designed to provide an even clearer hearing experience than the Eargo Max. As with all other Eargo devices, the Neo HiFi is a discrete in-canal device powered by a built-in battery. It’s designed for individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss who are seeking premium-quality sound processing.
The Neo HiFi is compatible with Eargo’s app, which allows users to personalize their hearing profile, adjust the volume and video chat with Eargo’s team of licensed hearing professionals. These hearing aids feature noise reduction in noisy indoor and outdoor settings, and the four-layer Flexi TetraPalms are designed to deliver all-day comfort and superior sound actuation.
A pair of Eargo Neo HiFi hearing aids costs $1,950, and monthly payments start at $90. The warranty period for the Neo HiFi is one year, which is shorter than the warranty included with the latest Eargo 6 model.
Eargo 5
The Eargo 5 incorporates several advanced digital sound features into a practically invisible hearing aid. Like Eargo’s other models, it is a small, completely-in-canal device with a rechargeable battery. Top features include a lithium-ion battery, a magnetic charging case for contactless charging and Sound Match technology. Sound Match enables remote hearing screenings and tunings, so wearers’ devices can be custom-adjusted without visiting a hearing specialist.
The Eargo 5 costs $2,450 for a pair and accessories. The cost also includes a one-year warranty and 45-day risk-free trial.
Eargo 6
The Eargo 6 showcases a new Sound Adjust feature that automatically optimizes the soundscape as wearers move between different environments. The result is clearer speech and less unwanted background noise. This model is also Eargo’s first water resistant device and comes equipped with medical-grade, silicone petal tips in two sizes and styles so customers can find their most comfortable fit.
A pair of Eargo 6 hearing aids costs $2,950, and financing is available at $94 per month for 36 months. In addition to the devices, this price includes tips and caps, a portable charging case that provides on-the-go recharging power for up to 3 days, telecare access, and more.
Eargo’s Warranties and Return Policy
Warranties
Eargo Max, Neo HiFi and Eargo 5 hearing aids come with a one-year warranty that covers unlimited repairs for issues related to manufacturing defects. There’s also single-claim coverage against loss or damage caused by the user, although this coverage only comes into effect 46 days after the initial purchase, following the lapse of the 45-day return period. The Eargo 6 includes the same coverage as the other Eargo hearing aids, except the warranty period on this model is two years, rather than one year.
Eargo’s warranty covers the hearing aids, charging case and USB charging cords. Devices may be either repaired or replaced with a new or refurbished device at the sole discretion of the company. Once the warranty period has lapsed, Eargo may repair or replace a defective device for a cost of $295 per device. Replacement devices can either be new or refurbished, and these devices are covered by a one-year warranty.
Excluded from Eargo’s warranty coverage are devices bought through unauthorized distributors; damage caused by unauthorized service or repairs and damage due to water penetration, exposure to chemicals or misuse.
Return Policy
Eargo customers can return their hearing aids within 45 days of purchase during the Right to Return Period. To qualify for a full refund, all original components must be provided by the consumer in good working order.
