The Fast Facts: Eargo Hearing Aid Cost and Features

A Closer Look at Eargo’s Hearing Aid Lineup

Eargo’s lineup consists of four hearing aid models, each with varying levels of technology and features. All Eargo in-ear devices are rechargeable and designed with Flexi Fibers made of medical-grade silicone. This provides airflow into the ear canal which permits natural low frequencies — creating a complete sound experience for the wearer. They also include free shipping and access to their team of licensed professionals for all hearing aids.

LINK is Eargo’s most affordable OTC option. It is an earbud-style hearing aid, priced at $799 per pair. It’s ideal for older adults with mild hearing loss who are looking for a discreet option at a low price. The hearing aid is equipped with Bluetooth 5.3, so you can stream phone calls and music directly into your hearing aids from your iOS or Android phone. LINK by Eargo offers active noise and feedback cancellation, so it’s an excellent OTC option if you want to try out hearing aids without the steep cost.

LINK arrives with open and closed ear tips in multiple sizes. They also come with a cleaning brush that is meant to be used daily. This keeps your hearing aids free of debris, prolonging their life.

The battery holds up to nine hours of power. Users also benefit from a one-year warranty and Eargo’s standard 45-day money-back guarantee. All in all, LINK by Eargo offers solid technology at a great price. Financing is also available, starting at $26 per month.

Eargo SE

Eargo SE hearing aids are small and fit in the canal, making them very discreet.

Eargo SE is the company’s most affordable in-ear hearing aid option at $1,650 per pair, or $54 a month, with financing. This model is best for seniors looking for small and comfortable, mid-range devices for daily wear. It has all the signature features of Eargo’s in-ear devices, including a rechargeable battery and a completely in-canal fit.

The hearing aid is equipped with Eargo’s Sound Match technology, which allows you to create a custom hearing profile. Sound Match gives personalized adjustment recommendations for each ear, so you can fine-tune your hearing aids in various environments for optimal sound.

Eargo SE also offers 16 hours of power and can be fully charged in four hours or less. These hearing aids come with a one-year warranty. Eargo SE provides users with essential features like noise reduction and program options for listening environments like restaurants, TV, and music. They also connect to the Eargo app. Through the app, you can adjust your listening preferences, plus get access to professional hearing care support.

Eargo SE doesn’t have Bluetooth streaming. If hands-free phone calls and audio streaming are important to you, you may be better off with Link by Eargo. You may also wish to consider other OTC options, like Jabra Enhance.

Eargo 7

Eargo 7 in the charging case

Eargo 7 is the most technologically advanced model of Eargo hearing aids. Priced at $2,950, Eargo 7 touts itself to be virtually invisible, water- and sweat-resistant, and rechargeable. Its most notable feature is Sound Adjust+, which includes Clarity Mode for crisp, clear sound. This feature would be helpful in many complicated listening situations, such as in a busy restaurant or party. Clarity Mode determines how much to reduce the background noise and how much to amplify the sounds of those nearby. Like the Eargo 6, Eargo 7 has a run time of 16 hours before it needs to be recharged. This means you’ll be able to access your hearing aid from the time you wake up until the time you go to sleep. It also includes a portable carrying case that can charge your hearing aids for up to two days.

It’s hard to tell, but I’m wearing the Eargo 7.

If you’re looking for a discreet hearing aid with advanced features and water-resistant capabilities, we recommend upgrading to this model. Financing for this model starts at $87 per month if that works better for your budget. Eargo 7 also comes with an upgraded two-year warranty for ongoing support.

Are Eargo Hearing Aids Worth the Cost?

Medical-grade hearing aids on the market can range anywhere from $599 to $4,000 — per device, meaning each earpiece is sold separately! Eargo’s product line provides value in featuring their devices as a pair. The company’s highest-priced pair — the Eargo 7 — comes out to $2,950, which can be hundreds or thousands of dollars less than the price of just one device from other leading manufacturers.

For instance, we reviewed Widex devices and found they have similar capabilities to Eargo, but can cost up to $3,500 per device or $7,000 for a pair. Miracle-Ear, another popular manufacturer we tested, provides high-quality hearing aids, but be prepared to shell out anywhere from $2,000 to $8,000 for a pair.

We’ve compared Eargo to other leading in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aid providers in the same class. Here is how they held up to the competition in terms of price, ease of use, customer support, and warranties.

*Prices will vary by local provider and are not available online. These prices are based on estimates from our hearing experts and research team.

To top it off, Eargo’s customers receive support for the life of their hearing aids from a group of hearing specialists. That alone is worth thousands of dollars in saved time and energy hassling with appointments and call centers to fix issues or ask questions. They even supply you with extra replacement accessories in every package to guarantee that you get the longest use of their product before you have to pay for replacements — customer care at its finest!

Are Eargo Hearing Aids Right for Me?

Eargo’s hearing aids are FDA-cleared for those who are experiencing mild to moderate high-frequency hearing loss.2 The company does not recommend its devices for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss, since its hearing aids provide an increase in sound clarity versus volume.

Eargo’s hearing aids are class one medical devices, the same class as those that you find in doctor’s offices and hearing aid retailers. Keep in mind that Medicare does not currently cover the cost of any hearing aids.

Eargo hearing aids are engineered to provide amplification as well as feedback reduction and noise cancellation. Feedback reduction is helpful for seniors who enjoy the use of other devices such as cell phones or tablets for entertainment like listening to music and watching movies. Noise cancellation can help make conversations with friends and family more clear during large gatherings and in public spaces.

Eargo also provides its clients with lifetime support from its team of licensed audiologists and hearing professionals. This is valuable to all hearing aid users, especially if you’re new to hearing aids. Lifetime support means that even if your preferences and needs change, your hearing professional will assist you in making certain that your device meets your needs along the way.
