Your Ears are not telling you the whole story!
So, for the last year and a half I have been attempting to figure out if I have some level of hearing loss. One on one with another person I do fine, put me in a room with others and the sound I want to hear gets lost. Notice I wrote, Want to hear.. What to do? Like 99 percent of the world I head over to a hearing center. They perform testing at what I will call “The high Range”. No sweat! After being subjected to 15 minutes off Press the button when you hear the sound and Release the button when you don’t” I’m told my hearing is fine. Really? Fast forward a year. After being told over and over by my lovely wife I took the plunge and purchased Eargo. Prior to ordering a read up on all the functions, ease of use Ect.
Best investment to myself I have ever made. The real test was Thanksgiving Dinner. If your place is like mine it’s non stop talking. My Eargo did exactly what I hoped for, you see, it’s not about volume, it’s about hearing to understand. That is where Eargo excels. Talking is Mid range sound, not high not low. Your brain(if you have been married nor then ten minutes) knows what your better halfs voice sounds like, Without my Eargo’s my wife’s voice was absorbed by all the other sound coming at me. I’m hearing but not pulling her voice out. Eargo makes it easy for me to hear what’s important. Of course, everyone is different.
On to the after purchase welcome phone call.
My personal hearing helper is “Randy”. Prior to the call I was emailed a picture and short bio on Randy. I felt I already knew him. We spoke for about 30 minutes and went over a few questions. Needless to say. I feel I made a great investment to myself. Do yourself a favor, Do like I did, Perform an honest self evaluation of your hearing needs, read the articles contained on the Eargo we site. If you can relate or find yourself thinking, hey, that’s me! Then go for it! You have a 45 day trail period.
One more thing. I’m a retired Vet, I’m grateful the people at Eargo understand and acknowledge or service and sacrifice. Don’t forget to ask for the discount.
Thanks to the entire Eargo Team!
