As we know, along with the time human's hearing quality will
decrease. Certainly no one who wants to wear a hearing aid, but when we often
get hearing difficulty, the hearing aid is the only choice we have. There are so many hearing aids on the market,
but in general most of them only use a microphone that's placed at the back of
the ears, this can sometimes cause users to get difficulty in recognizing the
position of the interlocutor.
A startup named Eargo wants to offer solution to such
problems. After finalizing their research for about five years, they finally
introduce a hearing aid with the same name, Eargo. The form of Eargo is
completely different from the other conventional hearing aids. Its dimension is
very small, and when used, it's almost invisible, thus the users can be more
confident when interacting with others in public places.
One of Eargo secrets lies in the white-colored fibers called
Flexi Fibers. Made of medical standard silicone, Flexi Fibers serve to hold
Eargo position in the ear canal, but at the same time, it doesn't block the
canal completely.
Thus, the low-frequency sound (bass) around the users can
still be heard, and Eargo only needs to harden the mid and treble sound. And
the result? The voice can be heard more naturally than using the conventional
hearing aids. At the same time, Eargo also packs four different sound profiles.
Users can change the profile just by touching their ears twice.
Furthermore, one of Eargo advantages lies in the position of
its microphone. Eargo microphone is located directly inside the users’ ears. It
means the sound that's amplified comes from in front of the users, as the nature
has designed it.
Related to its comfort, Eargo development team claims that a
number of consumers even said that they sometimes forget if they are wearing
this hearing aid. Eargo also comes with a carrying case which also serves as a
charger. Yes, Eargo is equipped with a rechargeable battery.
Eargo is now ready to be marketed widely. This hearing aid
is offered at a price of $ 1,980 per pair. This price is quite expensive
indeed, but Eargo also offers installment program of $ 96 per month.
