2. Product Questions

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.

To determine if HearYou hearing aids could be the optimal solution for your needs, consider taking our swift, non-obligatory hearing quiz.

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.

The primary difference between the two is their intended user. OTC hearing aids are designed for people with hearing loss, while sound amplifiers are not intended to correct impaired hearing but rather to amplify sound for those with normal hearing.

What are conditions and guidelines for using OTC Hearing Aids?

Please carefully review the following conditions and guidelines for using HearYou hearing aids:
