Would HearYou hearing aids be a good fit for me?
HearYou-branded hearing aids are designed for adults suffering from mild to moderate hearing impairment. You need to be at least 18 years old. HearYou devices are not recommended for those encountering sudden alterations in their hearing, as this might necessitate a medical examination by an ENT specialist.

Are these real hearing aids ?
HearYou in the sale of Over-the-Counter (OTC) hearing aids. OTC hearing aids are devices designed to improve hearing for individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss. These devices can be purchased directly without the need for a prescription.
On the other hand, sound amplifiers, also known as Personal Sound Amplification Products (PSAPs), are devices intended to amplify environmental sound for non-hearing-impaired consumers. They are often used for activities such as bird watching or listening to lectures where the source of sound may be far away.

Hearing Health
How will hearing aids help me?
Hearing aids can improve more than just how much you hear – they can also improve your ability to understand others. If you find yourself constantly saying "what" or feeling frustrated in loud settings, hearing aids can make a big difference. Our customers have reported renewed enjoyment in restaurants, concerts, and family gatherings.
In addition to the everyday benefits, wearing hearing aids has been linked to long-term health benefits, such as healthier brain function. Studies have shown that treating hearing loss can improve cognitive abilities, reduce the risk of dementia, and improve overall brain health.
What does it feel like to wear hearing aids?
When wearing hearing aids for the first time, there will be an adjustment period as your ears and brain get used to the new sounds. You may hear sounds you haven't heard in a while, and some sounds may seem louder than before. But with practice and time, your brain will adapt. At HearYou, we offer a 30-day trial period and support to help you through the adjustment process. Try our hearing aids and experience the difference they can make in your life.
