About Audicus
Audicus has four hearing aid models in a variety of price ranges. It sells directly to consumers rather than through clinics, which can often lower costs for buyers. Audicus also offers a monthly membership program to help offset the initial cost of buying a hearing aid, allowing you to rent your hearing aids at a low monthly price instead of buying them outright.

I liked this company. Found them to be responsive in my needs and the product to be of high quality. I had a very challenging fit and they did their best to make the product work. I would suggest getting a local hearing test and submitting that to the company for a proper fit especially if this is your first hearing aid.
Hi Gary, thank you for taking the time to share your positive experience with us! We are so pleased to be able to help you find the right hearing solution.

Audicus' hearings aids are really hearing aids and not amplifiers. A lot of companies advertising online are just amplifiers. I bought a set of hearing aids about four years ago and I was pretty well-satisfied with them. I did my purchase over the phone and the person was very knowledgeable although there were a couple of questions that she really wasn't sure about. She got back to me with a later call.
My hearing loss is pretty bad, especially in the right ear. I scored two out of five on the hearing test. My hearing aids have changed my life somewhat. But sometimes, I would go a day without wearing them because when I'm around the house, they tend to make the inside of my ears a little sore. I tried other domes sizes and they didn't work as well as the medium domes. I have the Spirit model and I like the Bluetooth feature. When I'm driving, that's the most favorable thing about it.
The only negative I have with these hearing aids is there is a program you can put on your phone. It allows me to adjust the volume individually for the left or the hearing aid. That was what I really wanted but the phone just won't hold it. I checked comments and this seems to be a problem with a lot of people. Perhaps the problem is with my phone model, which is a Samsung. I tried the program on my iPad and the iPad will hold it. But I'm not gonna walk around with an iPad all the time.
Hi Bill, thank you so much for taking the time to leave this lovely, detailed review. We are delighted your hearing aids are working so well for you and that you love the Bluetooth feature.

My wife and I are on our fifth set of hearing aids--we have lots of experience. But this is our first set from Audicus. While our previous units were all satisfactory, these new "Spirit" aids from Audicus are significantly better. I can hear high fidelity music now that I haven't heard in twenty years. My wife is especially pleased with how much better she can hear and participate in conversations with a noisy background. The Bluetooth features are just outstanding. Using the Bluetooth TV connector we both get excellent audio sound quality directly into our ears so that we do not miss any words, even from old movies. And, coupling our cellphones directly to the hearing aids is such a luxury. We get crystal clear phone conversations all controlled with the push of a button. I stream music and podcasts while I'm outside riding my bicycle. We are very pleased. Dr. Orland **
Hi Orland, thank you so much for sharing your kind words! We are delighted you love your Spirit hearing aids and that the Bluetooth connectivity is such an asset to your life. We wish you all the best and are always here to help with anything you may need in the future.

I have been a customer with Audicus for about 3 years and they have supported me from day one with professional prompt service. I have the Clara hearing aids and they have been terrific. I thought I needed an upgrade and ordered the Wave aids and at the same time I sent my Clara aids back in for a reprograming after a fresh hearing test. The New Wave hearing aids were great but after the reprograming I realized I did not need to replace my Clara aids quite yet. Audicus was very understanding and they gave me a refund in a timely manner and said they will always be here for my hearing needs. When the time comes to replace my Clara hearing aids I am positive I will be buying from Audicus again. Totally trustworthy company with awesome products.
Hi Raymond, thank you so much for your kind words. We are always here to make sure you have everything you need for happy hearing.

Ordered the Wave hearing aids from Audicus. Because of a house fire I needed to get them fairly fast. I ordered them at 3pm on Thurs and had them by 5pm the next day. They could not have been nicer and more helpful. I told them they should write a book or make a video on customer service. They have also made follow up phone calls to make sure the aids were working good for me. I highly recommend them for anyone who needs hearing aids at a reasonable price.

I sent back the hearing aid because it has a hissing sound to it and they're going to try to correct that. But they've been more than accommodating. The people at customer service have all been very nice. I'm going to see if they can correct this. But if not, before my 45 days are up, I'll try the Clara, and see if that could be a little better for me. I deal with a person named Angela and she's wonderful.
Hi Larry, thank you for sharing your experience so far with Audicus! We will continue to work hard to find the perfect hearing solution for you.

I purchased a hearing aid in hopes of hearing. There was a 45 day trial, in which I thought was good so that I could try them and see how they work for me. They became a hassle with itching my ear, falling out, and not fitting correctly. It’s difficult with glasses and a hearing aid going behind your ear. I’ve called a couple of times trying to find a solution and didn’t. They wanted me to purchase other things for itching. I was disappointed when I called to return and they immediately tell me the 45 day trial was up and wanted me to take a picture with the hearing aid in my ear. I argued that 45 days was not up, that it would be the actual day that I’m speaking to them. They were friendly and tried to be helpful until I wanted to return them. Oh she told me it was the 46 day. They will not honor their policy. I advise DO NOT PURCHASE from Audicus Hearing, New York, NY.
Hi Shawn, we apologize for the situation with your trial period and that your Clara hearing aid wasn't the best fit. To make this right, someone from our team will reach out to issue you a refund.

They have really good hearing aids, but their customer service says and does the opposite. My insurance doesn't cover hearing aids so I'm leasing a pair until I can afford a set. I'm having to work with my bank to get an unauthorized charge reversed in less than 24 hours after talking with Audicus about said charge.
Hi Amy, we are extremely sorry about your experience. We want to make sure this is all sorted for you so we will reach out ASAP.

I had my ears checked and sent in a copy of what the results were. They helped me along and answered all my questions. The Audicus hearing aids are a lot better than I ever had. I have the ones that have the Bluetooth in them. If people are gonna get hearing aids, it’s best they go with the Bluetooth.

I love the Audicus hearing aids. It doesn't have a longer wire that goes from the receiver to the speaker piece. I wish they have a slightly longer one because I seem to have big ears so they sit in a weird place. But Audicus was good. I set up a trial for some initial pair that I did not like very well. And they quickly got me into a different kind which I've been happy with. The gentleman that helped me through this whole process with numerous phone calls and checked in on me multiple times was amazing.

Costco offers a little bit better warranty on their products but their technical service and their technicians is pretty poor. With Audicus, the cost is a little bit higher but it’s been good with them. I was a little skeptical at first because everything's done online. But it made it a lot more convenient to reach out to them and they were very responsive.

I'm appreciate everything that having hearing aids have done for me, but it isn't the lifechanging experience I imagined. First, I have severe loss. Everything I am about to say should be read with that understanding. These may work much better for someone with mild to moderate loss. The covers that fit in the ear canal are difficult to fit on your own. Never having worn hearing aids- it took quite a while to figure out what the best fit was. I recognize in person fittings are part of what is lost by using Audicus. These work well in certain situations like one on one conversations or small groupings.
Anything involving music, a bassline, or crowded areas, just doesn't sound right and makes them almost feel useless. As a teacher, they definitely help in the classroom, but again I still can't hear well if all the kids are working- it's hard to distinguish those close to me and the background sound. The aids definitely allow me to hear much more than I would without. The support is probably the thing keeping me the most. They are super responsive and unlike the doctor's office, do not require appointments or long waits. I think if I was able to afford prescription hearing aids, I would switch without question. This, however, is a good in-between for now.
Hi Michelle, thank you so much for taking the time to write about your experience. We are very sorry Audicus hearing aids haven't provided the hearing support you had hoped for.

I've sent the Audicus Wave aids back for repair, twice. It's possible that the first time, I could have fixed the problem -- one of the aids would not charge at all -- by doing a hard reset, but whoever I spoke with at Audicus didn't give me that information. The second time, there was persistent and extremely annoying static in the right hearing aid. Also, one or the other of the aids did not charge properly, or at all, while on the charger overnight.
After the second return (I do not know if there were the same hearing aids I had at the beginning, or replacements), there has been no trouble charging them. Regarding static: persistent static returned on the Thursday of Holy Week this spring. Using my Bluetooth-connected phone, I found that changing the default program, "Automatic," to "Conversation in noise 1," made the static stop, for as long as I was on the CIN 1 setting. Sending them back for repair or adjustment (again) is not acceptable, since it forced me to be without any hearing aid at all for the week to week and a half it takes for Audicus to get them back to me.
However, the quality of the aids in a noisy room while on "Conversation in noise 1) is not satisfactory. I returned to work, in a busy retail environment, on May 21, and have found that I often have trouble understanding people with whom I am speaking. The Audicus Wave does not have an "Mumbled or rapid speech through a mask" as a setting. I am uncertain whether I will renew my Audicus Wave subscription beyond the first 18 months. I see that I am required to waive certain right (see below) to send Audicus this comment.

I contacted Audicus through their "chat" link online. I was told that they couldn't help me. I was given a method of contact again online. I did contact them. I still have a broken right hearing aid. The ear "plugs" don't fit either. They were very attentive when I was ordering. I had a problem earlier and sent both aids in to see if they could be adjusted to work better. They were sent back but I noticed no difference. At this time, I am using an old hearing aid in my right ear and the Audicus one in my left ear.

I received my HAs on 10/5/20. I returned them for reprogramming on 10/8/20, and the turn-around time was fast. The reprogramming was to my satisfaction. The HAs have been working flawlessly. I think that because I have them linked to my iPhone via Bluetooth, they go through batteries pretty quickly, probably every three days. Fortunately, I am on the Audicus subscription plan, so they send me batteries every three months as part of the plan. At some point I may consider switching to rechargeable HAs. So far the experience, 9 months in, has been all positive.

I originally was pleased with the hearing aids, but I don’t think they are working well now. I am not sure I would purchase them again. I did have a reprogramming scheduled, but didn’t get them in the mail. I thought they could reprogram them remotely. The people that I talked to have been very nice to deal with, just not sure I love the product.

I like the hearing airds. But at one point, I started getting a lot of static in my last hearing aid, so I sent them back. Audicus just cleaned them and said that was a little speck of earwax, which I didn't fall for. I kept telling the reps what was wrong with it, but they kept reading the same thing off the card. I've had hearing aids many times. I know what can affect them and such. And I didn’t go for it.
I finally convinced them to send them back, but when they came back and it still had the noise, I was disappointed. But later, the fella called back to see how they were doing. And he said if it wasn't working, he got an okay from his supervisor to just swap it out with a new one. But I kept wearing it for a couple of days, and then the static went away and it hasn't been back since. The quality is lifelike. I've had four sets of hearing aids. I had one pair that was completely in the ear a long time ago, and they were $8,000 ones. I loved them, but I lost one. So, I was out. I've tried a couple of less expensive ones and they haven't come to my expectations. But these are working really well. I enjoy them.

I interacted with an Audicus the hearing specialist and my experience went smoothly. I'm still trying to get used to my hearing aids. I don't wear them a lot because I'm not around a whole lot of people. Sometimes, they're okay when I use them. I'm new to this and Audicus is geared more towards people that already have them. On the whole, I'd tell others to take a look at the company.

The product is a decent one, it helps hearing but not to the degree of the more expensive ones. It does a better job at the price point than anything else I've tried, which is in its own category of rental as all the others are purchase only. Insurance doesn't help unfortunately, and I had it available to spend. The customer service department, the sales department, and the shipping department did a poor job of coordinating, and it took forever to actually get the product--and the sales person could not be reached any longer. It's far from perfect, but still decent.
