Fio is Lucid's invisible-style product that offers rechargeable batteries and allows customization using the Lucid app. The Lucid Fio is a lot like the Eargo hearing aid (although slightly larger) at around 40% less price. Like Eargo (and most invisible hearing aids), Fio does not allow Bluetooth streaming. One notable feature in Fio is that in order to adjust programs or the volume, you will need to place the devices back in their recharge case.
Pros
Rechargeable and nearly invisible
Easy to handle and comfortable in the ear
Affordable compared to other invisible options
Cons
Must place the product back in the case to recharge
Slightly larger than competing options from Eargo

Lucid Fio is available over-the-counter, meaning you can purchase the hearing aids online or at a local retail store (some Walmart stores and Sam's Club).
Once you receive your new hearing aids, you'll use the Lucid app to customize the amplification and frequency to match your hearing loss. Unlike some other OTC devices, Lucid does not administer a hearing test through their app; instead, they give you access to a control panel and an interactive chart called Lucid Shape. You will use those tools to customize the hearing aids to your comfort.
If you have questions or issues along the way, you can call the Lucid support team for live troubleshooting and advice.

Fio uses multiple microphones to analyze the soundscape around you and converts that signal into amplified sound played through a tiny speaker placed directly in your ear. Fio isn't as high-tech as other hearing aids on the market but prioritizes clear sound in the smallest package possible.
