Audicus was one of the first brands to program hearing aids remotely and ship them to your door. When the brand launched nearly 10 years ago, Audicus was dubbed the Warby Parker of hearing aids. They make their service simple to use and offer a range of simple but effective products.
What makes Audicus special
Unlike over-the-counter devices like Eargo and Lexie, you do not need to program your hearing aids. The Audicus team of hearing specialists walks you through an online test or accepts an existing audiogram. With the results in hand, they program your hearing aids before shipping. This streamlined process saves you time and cuts the cost by about 50%-70% compared to traditional options.
Omni 2 is Audicus's newest and most feature-rich hearing aid to date. Omni 2 comes with Bluetooth streaming from both Apple and Android devices (plus up to one additional Bluetooth device), an optional rechargeable battery (costs an additional $100/pair), auto adjustments to your environment, and feedback reduction.
Our Take
Audicus is a fantastic option for budget seekers who prefer online services and lower prices. Audicus prices are still higher than over-the-counter devices, but the underlying technology is nearly identical to top prescription devices.
