Standard 2.0 Hearing Aids for Seniors - Oricle Hearing Aids for Adults with Advanced Noise Cancellation - Easy Volume Control with Portable Charging Case

I know the five stars speak for themselves, but I do think some of my thoughts might be useful. First, I do have experience with other hearing aids/amplifiers. In 2008 I got a Bernafon unit from Costco (I'm using the singular because I'm deaf in my left ear, so I only need one device for my 'good' ear). It was OK but I stopped using it soon after because I got a job in construction and the two don't mix. When I retired I tried it again but when I went to Costco to ask them to adjust it, they literally laughed at me because it was so 'old.' They no longer had the software to do even a simple volume increase. Then I learned that Costco usually LOCKS their hearing aids so no one else can adjust them. I tried one of those PockeTalker things for the 'aimability' of the microphone, but that was not the fix I'd hoped it would be. Then in late '25 I was researching OTC devices. Most websites had similar lists of recommended brands, but I stumbled on the Oricle in a list from Forbes. I decided that for $100 it was worth a try before I went down the $$$$ rabbit hole. A bit about me: I'm 77, live alone, and really just wanted something to help in social situations. I wasn't expecting anything great, but my prior experience is that NO hearing aid gives you something 'great.' It's not like a pair of glasses. Anyway, these have really surprised me. They have their shortcomings ($100 after all) but for someone like me, I think they do the job. I find the device quite comfortable and easy to adjust on the fly. The build quality seems quite upmarket for the price, and the owner's manual, while pretty pedantic, is pocketable and clear, with exactly ONE typo (a remarkable achievement for a Chinese product). There is a learning curve but that's the norm. Perhaps the best surprise for me is that I can use the left one in my functional right ear, so I always have a backup. So I'd say that unless you need refined adjustability or have the dexterity of someone in mittens, give these a try. I'm very glad I did.

I purchased similar ones about 9 months ago and they are amplifiers, which are really hard on my hearing because they are so loud. These Oricle hearing aids are 100 times better, still have a little bit of an amplifier sound at times but I use these as a backup when the batteries go dead on my over the ear hearing aids. For me, I have to pump up the hearing to the loudest setting, but they work well, distortion is very low and sound is clear. Also very comfortable to wear. Great price for these.

I am using these hearing aids for backup while my Phonak R are in for battery replacement. They worked pretty well. I have trouble with them squawking at me too often because I have a small ear canal, and the Oricle doesn't fit well. I would say that for the price, they provide a sufficient backup for me at their price point.

Easy to set up and insert if you've got small fingers. But if you've got big fingers, it's hard to insert and hard to set up. I've only had them 3 days and they're comfortable and the sound is good. I like these much better than my over the ear hearing aids that I spent $1400 on. I would recommend.

Five stars, my only complaints are the feedback or the noise, and kind of lack of good instructions! Definitely improved my hearing better then the commercial one I paid thousands for!

These hearing aids may not have all the whistles and bells that my $4000 pair has but for $100 they are an amazing bargain. I’ve only been using them for a couple of days, but the convenience of overnight charging without worry of batteries running down outweigh the slight negative factors they have. (No iPhone app to adjust volume or other settings.) overnight charging give me a full day of use easily. Overall, these hearing aids are a true bargain. UPDATE I had high hopes for this product, but unfortunately, it has proven to be unreliable. My first purchase resulted in the left hearing aid failing in 10 days. Since it was purchased through Amazon, it was replaced very quickly and put back into service. I was hoping these hearing aids would be a standby when my seven year-old Resounds start to fail. My old hearing aids cost $4000 so I was thinking a $100 expenditure for a standby was a good deal. At any rate the second set of hearing aids failed after about three months and since it was beyond the warranty period I apparently had no recourse. I never heard back from Amazon when Oricle referred my request to them. This unreliability is a pity because I really liked the convenience of rechargeable batteries, and of course, the fact that these units were so inexpensive. Regrettably because they simply are not reliable, I cannot recommend the hearing aids.

Just today returned these Oricle aids back to Amazon. I was looking forward to an advertised great quality and affordable hearing product when I purchased it. Didn't turn out that way. I'm not a new hearing aid customer. Been wearing them for some years now. First off the Oricle aids I received were not in the anticipated red/blue color style as in the ad but both were a totally dull flesh tone with no markings for left and right receivers. This made for some confusion when the aids were mixed up and I didn't know which ones were which. These things also were HUGE - slightly larger than my thumb. I cannot stress this enough! This made ear insertion and removals quite the challenge. Made my stretched ear channels sore after a couple of hours too. There was no attached "tab" on the devices that would have made removal some what easier. Sound quality was a disappointing 'meh' for such a positively advertised product. Still could not hear the turn signals in my car. I am not recommending to avoid a purchase. However the buyer needs to be aware of my recent issues. Your experience might be quite different.
