Title: I wish I had these for the past 10 years
Review: Almost two weeks have passed since my Lexie B1 aids arrived and I could not be happier. They’re not uncomfortable at all, and I can hear! I am 68, and worked in a very noisy environment during my state trooper firearms instructor and siren above my head career. Sounds that I have not perceived in years are clear to me now…the turn indicator actually makes a blinking sound, the toaster actually dings when done, and my slippers are really noisy on linoleum floors. Ha. I have not had to utter HUH very much at all lately …had to ask the wife not to talk to me so loud, and I can hear and UNDERSTAND the dialogue on TV without closed captions. I found that the smaller ear bits are more comfortable and efficient than the larger bits. I purchased a dehumidifier gadget for these babies as I am going to take real good care of them, and apparently moisture is a demon to them eventually. At night before bed, in the dehumidifier they go. I learned that if I leave the battery doors open when I take them out for the night that the batteries last quite longer. The other evening a pleasant female voice said Low Battery in my ear which kept me from replacing batteries prematurely. I bought a pack of 48 quality batteries for less than $20. I put one of the smaller packs in the car in case I’m out and get a low battery warning. It is important to leave the battery door open with a fresh battery for 5 minutes before closing and using the aids, in order to substantially increase battery life. The iPhone app is great and easy to use…sometimes they might not connect but simply recycling the Bluetooth on the phone sorts that issue out. I only need the app if there is a significant sound environment change. I was in an auditorium last night at an eulogy and could easily hear and understand the speakers rather than just a lot of roar background sound around me. I was surprised to learn that I have to ADD some bass in the sound adjustment to keep things from sounding tinny. Bass has been my enemy for a while but no more. I wish I had been able to use these for the past ten years, as I have obviously missed a lot in conversation and surroundings. I am impressed with the quality and support. After all, they’re Bose! Color me ecstatic.

Title: DO NOT PURCHASE until you have had an audiology exam/test
Review: I though these units might help a recent hearing loss in one ear. I made the error of thinking that I didn’t need testing to see how great my hearing loss is. While the hearing aids MAY HELP minor hearing loss, they do nothing but increase the irritation of amplified sound if hearing loss is moderate to severe (which mine is). My advice is to get an audiology test FIRST, then go from there.The return to Amazon has been a nightmare. Starting with the return label from an OFFICIAL UPS Store, I had nothing to track the return package except the UPS tracking number. I was never able to determine the class of service the return package was receiving, but I do know that it took over a week to make its way out of Ontario CA (a UPS Hub) enroute to Amazon’s Las Vegas Return Center. I received a verified delivery receipt from UPS saying they delivered the package on 9/13/23 @ 7:30 PM. I can drive to Las Vegas in a day. UPS and Amazon team up to deliver a return IN 9 days with no official acknowledgement from AMAZON that they received the item. Then comes the phone “Help” BS with the return and no one ever answered the question: “HAVE YOU RECEIVED MY RETURN.” — not even their HELP TEAM headquartered in a non-USA country. This whole incident prompted me NEVER TO DO BUSINESS with Amazon again. PURE, UNADULTERATED crooked business model. EVER!!!!! Fortunately, I used a majorcredit card for this $900 purchase and they have gone to bat for me. We’ll see. Will update if possible.

Title: Good start for OTC, yet seems a bit overpriced for what you get
Review: The good – you can adjust for different volume levels in each ear;; You can adjust global treble vs. base level;; you can program it by connecting to your cell phone with bluetooth;; you can save environment profiles;;The bad – No adjustment on treble – base for each ear;; the “battery low” warning is a loud and distracting voice rather than a discrete chirp;; The battery dies without a “power down” chime and then the hearing device emits an odd ‘shoop’ noise after it has stopped working, but battery is apparently not quite dead.;; These burn through batteries quickly (about every 3 days) compared to similar Oticon hearing aids at about every 7 days.;; on-device adjustment is for volume which should NOT be changed on a whim for optimal hearing health;; adjustment between environments is very inconvenient, requiring using a connected cell phone – This switch between environments should be on the device itself. (How many of us can — or want –to mess around with our phones when we’re changing environments many times a day and sometimes in situations when cell phones are prohibited??). Aids handle high frequency sounds poorly – sometimes with a loud screech;; devices are poor for hearing those close to you in noisy inside environments, like a trivia night;; only one color is offered – gray (who has gray skin??) So, this is a good start for an OTC hearing aid and it is cheaper than a prescription set of aids, yet it seems a bit over priced for its performance and design. On-device environment switches, device shut down with chime when battery is too low for operation, better handling of high frequency sounds, better handling of background sounds in noisy environments, and a more user friendly low battery notice would be a great improvements.
