The Eargo 8 has several innovative new features, including: ● Smart Sound Adjust: Analyzes your environment and automatically adjusts to the noise levels so you never miss a beat. When entering a noisy restaurant or crowded place, this new feature automatically utilizes fast-acting noise reduction without requiring the user to fuss with controls. ● Device Scan: An exclusive new feature that serves as a wellness check for your device. Device Scan helps users monitor Eargo 8 device health and identify maintenance needs to ensure long-term device performance. Eargo holds the patent for this technology, and Eargo 8 is the only device in the category to have this patented feature. ● Extended Life Charger: The Eargo 8 device is housed in a sleek, extended-life charging case that provides 2 weeks of full recharges. The Eargo 8 charger features the best total battery life in the category, according to the company, and is also wireless charging compatible. ● Eargo Support: Whether with live help or with the Eargo app, users can choose however much help or autonomy they desire. Eargo 8 comes with comprehensive support, including live assistance, tutorials, and an extended library of reference resources that the company says far surpass typical offerings for OTC hearing aids. According to the company, Eargo support is renowned for world-class response times, and Eargo hearing aid experts are industry veterans with an average of 18 years of experience. ● Two-Year Warranty: Eargo 8 also includes a two-year warranty, double the 1-year coverage typically offered by other OTC hearing aid brands. “We’re incredibly proud to unveil Eargo 8—this isn’t just another hearing aid, it’s a leap forward in technology, user experience, and accessibility,” says Tim Trine, chief technology officer of LXE Hearing, Eargo’s parent company. “With Eargo 8, we’ve achieved an extraordinary breakthrough in sound quality and user experience that redefines what OTC hearing aids should be. We’ve done the research, pushed the technology, and listened to our customers to deliver a smarter, sleeker, and more accessible model.” https://hearingreview.com/hearing-products/hearing-aids/otc/eargo-debuts-two-new-otc-hearing-devices “With the launch of Eargo 8, we pushed the boundaries of what is possible for such a small, compact, and nearly invisible design. We remain committed to raising the bar for hearing wellness while delivering incredible value for our customers,” says Nic Klopper, CEO of LXE Hearing. “Traditional prescription hearing aids and other nearly invisible options can be prohibitively expensive for consumers, costing upwards of $7,000. This puts quality, comfort, and support out of reach for many. “Eargo was founded on a mission to battle this and improve access and affordability for more people. And with Eargo 8, we’ve packed more advancements than ever in our OTC device and are proud to have successfully reduced our pricing to make premium hearing more accessible than ever."
