- Are these real hearing aids or just amplifiers?
- They are personal sound amplifiers, not prescription hearing aids. They boost volume broadly and are not programmed to your hearing test.
- Who should not use them?
- People with severe or profound hearing loss, sudden hearing loss, or one-sided loss should see an audiologist first. Children need a proper pediatric fitting.
- How long does the charge last?
- MEDca states a full charge covers a day of typical use, with charging through the supplied cable. Heavy use at high volume shortens that.
- Can I wear them in both ears?
- Yes. They are sold as a pair, and wearing both gives balanced sound for conversation and TV.
- Do they work with phones or Bluetooth?
- No. There is no Bluetooth, app or streaming. They only amplify ambient sound through the tube and dome.
- What comes in the box?
- A pair of aids, ear domes, a charging cable and cleaning tools. Check the fit of the domes before first use to reduce whistling.
- Where is the MEDca Rechargeable Hearing Aids BTE Digital Amplifiers cheapest?
- At Best Buy, for $79.99, as of our latest check.
