Audien Hearing offers a wide selection of Over the Counter (OTC) hearing aids that are accessible, affordable, and reliable. From the ATOM ONE at $98 to the smart, app-enabled pair ION PRO for $689. They’re best suited for those with mild-to-moderate hearing loss.

Hearing loss is not what many of us think it is. Long believed to be mostly an aging-related concern, anyone can suffer from hearing loss at any age. More importantly, hearing loss happens gradually, and rarely suddenly. By the time you or someone around you recognizes the symptoms, you might be well on your way to a significant reduction in hearing capabilities. Over 50 million Americans suffer from hearing loss to some degree, but around 80% of those affected don’t use hearing aids. That’s why audio and hearing screenings are important for everyone. But also, making hearing support more accessible. You see, hearing aids used to be inordinately expensive, for a few reasons, but mostly because there were a lot of parties involved in their development and sale. Audien Hearing has eliminated that problem, making hearing support more available to all.

Making reliable hearing more accessible to everyone

How? With a relatively new but rapidly advancing tech category called Over the Counter (OTC) hearing aids. They’re designed with the same level, features, and support as pro-grade and prescription-based hearing aids, without the hassle. Audien Hearing is actually the first FDA-cleared OTC hearing aid brand available across major retailers. You can walk into a store that carries their devices, buy some, and walk right out, no prescriptions or doctors necessary. That’s because Audien cuts out the middlemen like expensive sales reps, hearing centers and audiologists. The involvement of these parties generally drives up the cost of hearing aids to consumers.

Audien offers a range of devices, from the ATOM ONE ultra-affordable set at just $98 to the advanced ION PRO, with smart app controls and adaptive noise filtration for $698. Don’t be scared by the tail end of that price range. These aids are absolutely affordable options, considering some prescription-grade hearing aids can cost in excess of $5,000. Plus, the wide range of options means you can find a set that matches your budget.

What can Audien Hearing OTC Aids do?

Let’s start with the ATOM ONE set, the most affordable of the bunch, at $98. They are similar to wireless earbuds, and feature one hearing mode, meant for mild-to-moderate hearing loss. They have a substantially powerful sound chip inside (A1) and offer up to 24 hours of battery life. That battery time is for just the buds alone, without any wireless charging cases. In fact, the ATOM ONE doesn’t even come with a charging case. That’s impressive. Especially since they sound great and have a discreet, almost-invisible design when in the ear.

The next step up is the ATOM 2 for $189. They offer four hearing modes for mild-to-moderate hearing loss with a more powerful sound chip (A2) and 24 hours of battery life, as well, but this time with a wireless charging case.

A step up from that is the Audien ATOM PRO 2 set. You get four hearing modes, support for mild-to-moderate hearing loss, and the powerful sound chip (A2). But you also get up to 48 hours of battery life, with the charging case, UV cleaning, and background noise cancellation technology.

From there, you can select the Audien ION ($489) or the Audien ION PRO ($689) and the latter includes smart app controls with Bluetooth streaming support for all compatible devices.

How well do the Audien Hearing OTC aids work?

According to Audien, thanks to its OTC hearing aids, 90% of users reported hearing better in conversations with multiple people, while 84% heard the TV or radio better at normal volumes. Moreover, 87% gained confidence from effective social communication, allowing them to be more engaged with those around them. A further 89% recommended the brand’s products to friends and family. By the numbers, they work and work well.

If you are suffering from mild hearing loss, or worse, it might be time to consider some OTC hearing aids. You’d be surprised how much the support will change your everyday experiences.
