Audien Hearing ATOM PRO Hearing Aid -- REVIEW

[@itstherecit17]

I am now 76 and never have had any type of hearing devise before I got the Audien Pro2 pair an hour ago. It came fully charged and I put both in. So far they're amazing. I even hear the keyboard better as I type. I am excited about the prospect of hearing normally again. I plan on following the directions fully, and within 3 weeks I hope I will be acclimated to the sounds and the foreign object in both of my ears. In the 2 years since this video was produced the price has gone up slightly to $299. When I ordered I entered a bonus code and the price dropped $25 to $264. There is a 45 day return option beginning to day you accept delivery. I sure hope they work as advertised.

[@seniorpatriot]

Just ordered today Will give my review I'm 73 and hoping it helps

[@ZenithClarity]

Did it work well for you?

[@robertharo2017]

I really like this sound enhancement hearing aid. I purchased them but returned them for two reasons. First, my left ear had been injured and then reinjured when hard wax was removed. Ear surgeon had to remove hard wax and scab that formed, and used surgical technique to properly seal ear wall to prevent future scabing. Second problem was occlusion. The solid dome tips aggravate occlusion. Have purchased a less expensive set of invisible sound enhancers with both perforated and open dome tips. They do a great job with occlusion. Now, if Audien had open or perforated dome tips for the Atom Pro hearing aid, I'd buy a pair and keep them.

I'm 90 -I have no ear wax thats visible. I feel like I have a blockage..everything is muffled. Was your hearing loss from the blockage? Should I see a specialist to clean?Local doctor did not help with ear wash. I have trou ble with hearing aids. please rsvp-.

I just bought the audien 3 buds and they upgraded my order to the Pro for free! They’re a gift for my partner so I’m really hoping she likes them. Thank you for this review.

This was very helpful. Thank you! Have bought a pair and will report back when they arrive.

I absolutely couldnt believe how much i was missing. Even the sound of my purse zipper zipping. I didnt even know it sounded like that. Its the simple things and being hear those is pretty amazing and a shock to me. I had trouble taking a break from them. I got s bit emotional hearing the sound of my voice.

My Audien hearing aids stopped working still under warranty. I have emailed and called knowone will relply

[@MaryTSheehan]

can they be worn when speaking on a a cell phone

[@tl2913]

FYI - that's not an antenna, it's a small wire handle to remove the hearing aid.

[@kimcyrusm8995]

Is this good for mild to moderate hearing loss?

[@AskDaveTaylor]

Ostensibly, that's what Audien says. If you're experiencing hearing loss, however, I would start by going to a doctor for a proper assessment so you can figure out next steps. Good luck.

[@Fraliupro]

Nice review. Hoping these will eliminate tinitus also. Thanks again✌️

[@earsmatechina123]

Great introduction about this hearing aid.That's right,there are many people(most of seniors with aging hearing loss problem) have hearing loss problem who need hearing aid assistant.The Audien hearing aid is OK,and the earsmate hearing aid will be optional too.

[@jeanreed1975]

I like the Audien Atom performance but the smallest of the three sizes in the kit is too big for me. Does Audien sell smaller ear cones ?

[@AskDaveTaylor]

That's a great question to ask their customer service team!

[@SherryEldridge-f1r]

I bought my hearing aides in 2021 but they were just called Audien there was no Atom or pro or pro 2 and really I like the ones I received because I could adjust the sound with my phone, it is bluetooth . What happened to those did they stop making those and if so do you know how I can get an In ear bluetooth I mean the one I have still works, I just was looking for any updates.

[@AskDaveTaylor]

I would reach out to the company directly for the information you seek. Good luck!

[@sailr]

I have had my new atom pro 2 aids for about 8 days. I have tried several times to insert them but keep getting terrible feedback. I've changed the position, turned down the volume, etc. to no avail. When it seems I have them inserted correctly, the little retrieval cable is so far down into my lower ear that I can hardly get hold of them. HELP. What the heck am I doing wrong?

[@AskDaveTaylor]

I would reach out to Audien and see if they can help you, perhaps via a video chat. Good luck!

[@tedpiepho6804]

Does the antenna stay in one aid while in your ear?

[@AskDaveTaylor]

I'm unsure what you're asking, sorry.

[@williamwaters4506]

Great review, thanks.

[@EricMartinSmithOfficial]

What if I just want to use one? Is what you hear pretty equal to the good ear with the exception of the missing frequencies

[@AskDaveTaylor]

That question is beyond what I can test and ascertain. Sounds like you might need to consult an audiologist to correct for specific hearing loss in one ear. Good luck!

[@bking0220]

Dave I took an online hearing test that indicates I have mild to moderate loss in one ear but none in the other. Do you think I could become accustomed to popping one of these in my bad ear when I watch tv or am around other people but not wear all the time?

[@AskDaveTaylor]

I really can't say, that might be something to talk with your audiologist (or GP) about. They're expensive just to try out but you could also give it a few weeks and see how it goes too. Good luck,!

[@hypnosiscenternyc]

I have them .... Does anyone know if you can replace the batteries and what size. Otherwise, mine are dead in the water after a year.

[@AskDaveTaylor]

That's surprising. Please reach out to Audien to explore replacement or repair options.

[@godswrath1244]

I have a little hearing loss so I have been told, however, I know that my hearing loss is going to progress as time goes on. But I have always had a problem with ear buds of any kind. They just don't stay in my ears, eventually they will fall out, and of course I am afraid of investing and losing one of them because it falls out and I am unable to retrieve it from where it falls. How good are they at remaining in your ears?

Very interesting review. Is there a volume control at all? Thanks for the video.

[@AskDaveTaylor]

Nope, no volume control feature.

@@AskDaveTaylor There is a volume adjustment with a hardware tool

[@AskDaveTaylor]

Ah, well, if you need a special tool, I'm not sure I'd call it a "volume adjustment" :-)

[@suntha]

@@AskDaveTaylor Agree. It is for setting up and the recommendation is to start from lowest setting. Also, it takes about a week or so to settle on the one that's best for you.

[@Spiritlabradors1]

Does the hardware tool, referred to by San Runtha, come with the Atom Pro or do you have to get that separately?

[@bruceallen6016]

How does the Atom Pro compare to the Atom?

[@AskDaveTaylor]

I haven't tested both to answer that, but the Audien site itself should give you the difference in specs and details.

[@MarkJones-w5m]

Great video !

[@davidfrey5654]

Almost bought. But 50% of Amazon reviews are 3 stars or less. Not get for a product.

[@AskDaveTaylor]

If the reviews are legit and not from scammers or competitors. If you can, try buying them from a channel where you can return the unit if it doesn't work for you?

[@JTEC2]

my suggestion why make a color black so it will look like a bluetooth not a hearing aid . That color gives it away as a hearing aid

[@AskDaveTaylor]

That's a great point. Many companies are starting to create black units for just this reason.

They are 99 today

[@spi_890]

The hearing doctor wanted like 3500 for a pair from them, just seems like a completely ridiculous price just to be able to hear a little better! So I'm hoping these help with that extra boost to hear people better? Will see? But I'm certainly not going to pay that much for hearing aids!

[@AskDaveTaylor]

Good luck. Please come back and let us know how they work out for you after a week or two!

[@humdrummed]

I purchased a pair of these. They are basically ear plugs with sound. They block out most all ambient sound and is very annoying when you talk or you rub against the aids while in the ear. If you want to know what I'm talking about, get yourself some hearing protection earplugs and put them in and talk. This is something I can't deal with and if all hearing aids are like this, well I'll just be deaf....

[@AskDaveTaylor]

Sounds like you definitely need to try out some different options to find a pair that works for you, HD! There are a lot of different designs in the marketplace, for sure, at a wide range of price points...

[@RPMac]

Good presentation !!

[@AskDaveTaylor]

Thanks!

[@DA-jw6nm]

he forgo his disclaimer or I missed it. I have them and assure you a volume control is far from the adjustability a hearing aid requires.

[@AskDaveTaylor]

I don't have a hearing aid so I was doing my best to share my experience. Glad to hear your experience too; can you be a bit more specific about what you mean that it's "far from the adjustability a hearing aid requires"?

[@cynthia889]

wow, great review! Very interesting. How would these compare to like a miracle ear type of device?

Thanks. I haven't really had much time working with Miracle Ear or similar, unfortunately, so I can't offer any response.

[@decent2681]

[@wgrillojr]

Can't find one truthful review or reviewer that isn't sponsored by them that will be honest about any Audien hearing product. I've read they are completely horrible and break within weeks or a month. Also that not one person has said anything good about the customer service and pretty much says you're on your own if they break or don't work. I even saw one's delivered with ear wax included. I really hate companies that do this kind of thing to anyone let alone someone having medical issues expecting to get what the ad claims.

[@AskDaveTaylor]

Reviewers don't interact with customer service, nor do most customers. Are they "completely horrible"? I found them really pretty solid, as I detailed in my review. And here's the thing: posts like yours are hard to believe because you're citing unknown people with unknown experiences who might be fake or might have abused or misused their gear. So are your comments legit and credible? Important for a potential buyer to read? What do you think, Bill? You aren't even willing to have your last name on your profile...

Just my opinion,but What a con job, Wear this type of amplifier too long and you’ll destroy some of the frequencies that you already hear. Just like working in a factory or going to an extremely loud concert. Your taking a chance, good luck.

So you have scientific backing for your opinion? Have you tried a variety of hearing aids to understand how they work and how people tend to rely on them for many, many hours each day? Or are you just pontificating, George?

If I'm working with loud machines , I simply just take hearing aid out till I'm done doing what I'm doing, then reinsert it. Works for me 😉

[@Gigi714]

@@tracysmith9934 and @Dave Taylor I have found when in a situation that is loud and music or broadcast media is playing it is better to remove the Audien devices as the sound is too loud, the base is somewhat lost and the higher tones are more prominent. I tend to use them when in small groups where conversation without the aids is to low and muffled for me to hear. I had been tested by an audiologist several years ago and was told my hearing loss was age related and minimal at that time. I began using the Audien devices this year as we began going out socially more often and I find them quite helpful.

This is a hearing aid, not an amplifier. It won't harm your hearing like hearing amplifiers will. These are FDA registered as OTC hearing aids.
