Audien Atom One OTC Hearing Aids - Wireless, Rechargeable, and Comfortable | Clear Sound in a Small, Discreet Design for Seniors & Adults with Hearing Loss

I am amazed at the sound quality of these hearing aids. I am very happy with my purchase. I was able to hear more easily the people in my life who I think talk quietly. I don’t have to ask them to repeat as often. I can have the car radio volume lower and hear it well. The sound quality is good, not tinny. They are easy to insert and remove and so far they stay put. The battery life seems plenty long for my use. The volume and frequency can be adjusted. They come with various sizes of plastic ear domes. Their charging case and maintenance are convenient and not complicated. Audien has proactive customer service. A few days after delivery, Carlo from Audien called to find out how my experience has been using Atom One. I think if I had issues, Audien would give me a credit toward more expensive and newer versions but for now I am happy with what I have. I had the usual good purchase experience and delivery with Amazon. The listing had a $10 Amazon coupon. The Atom One is a worthwhile expense for me to see if hearing aids would be comfortable for me and would make a difference. A few days after delivery, there was a 20% Amazon discount and the only way Amazon would have given me the price adjustment was if I returned the aids I received and ordered new ones using the better discount. That seemed short-sighted given that: the items had been in my ears; I wanted to keep them; and Amazon would have to pay for return shipping. But that is Amazon’s policy. I didn’t return and reorder. I have mild hearing loss due to age/damage, not fluid buildup, and for me the Atom One hearing aids are a great quality and low-cost option.

Bought these for my mother who was putting off hearing aids despite hearing decline, esp in one ear. She absolutely loves them and can hear! For $100 I figured why not try them and we are amazed at how clearly she can hear. Set up was a non issue. They work well in crowded areas too. They do have squealing feedback if they are not seated properly, but easily fixed when they are fitted. Discrete as well.

So far this is the best of a number of OTC aids I’ve tried. The lack of Bluetooth and an app to test your hearing are drawbacks but understandable at this price point so I’m awarding 5 stars. A few things you may not figure out right away: --The cleaning brush has a mini screwdriver at one end used to adjust volume and frequency. You can also use a screwdriver or (carefully) the tip of a paring knife. --Contrary to descriptions here, the case does NOT have its own battery and must be plugged in to charge. This is confusing if you’re used to AirPods etc with self-charging cases. --I found it useful to turn the volume up all the way then crank it back till it stops whistling. The second adjustment is for frequency and you’ll need to use trial and error to find what works for you. --The “ear guard” is a thin cylinder at the outer edge of the body of the aid that keeps ear wax from getting lodged deeper where it can’t be removed. Your accessory pack includes 5 sticks used to change the ear guards; the dark end is used to remove the existing guard and the light end is the new ear guard which you will then insert.

The Product works to a degree. When everything is to the optimum, it gives good amplification. However, it's tricky to make it work. It gives a lot of constant beeping noise. You can maneuver it to take the noise off, but sometimes it is hard. When the amplification is on, you can hear almost nicely, except some resonance. The worst part of resonance is when you talk, your ear feels uncomfortable from it. So, when your main purpose is talking, it's better not to have it on. I only need it for one ear, but you can imagine when you have them for both ears. It says once the devices are in the charging box, they are turned off. However, very often the beeping noise is still on. You have to maneuver it again to have the noise off.

After many hours of searching and wanting to not break the bank, I chose these. My hearing loss is a bit more than most, with one ear having overall moderate-to-severe hearing loss, and the other having only a few frequencies in that moderate-to-severe loss. With that background, I know that my need is more than can be met by this device. But choosing this Audien Atom One was the best choice for me. I figured that out because I also purchased the Atom X at the same time. I thought that the Atom X, since it had more features, might provide me with better hearing. For me, it wasn't the best option. I found that the Atom One can be adjusted to a suitable volume with the dial directly on each hearing aid. It seemed to me that I was able to turn it up louder on the Atom One. One other important thing about these devices: I had previously had a hearing device that was more of an amplifier. With this type, everything is louder, including the ambient noise (rooms with tile floors are the worst!). The Atom One is better than the amplifier style of hearing device since it apparently does noise cancellation with the ambient noise. It's a little hard for me to discern the noise cancellation since my hearing need exceeds the usual use of this device. Even so, I get a sufficient amount of help from this hearing aid. However, I'm not a fan of the rechargeable aspect of this device. I would much rather have a battery that lasts a few days, and after replacing the battery (3 minutes later), I have full use of the device. With a rechargeable device, I have to wait at least an hour or more to get full use of the device again. So, I have to charge it every night to make sure I get the full day's use. I suspect I have to charge it daily since I have it turned up quite loud. Right out of the box, the Atom One was very easy to use. One more observation: the use of the frequency dial seems to be an adjustment on the sound you actually hear. I had hoped I could increase the dial to hear better in the frequencies that I'm most deficient in. Wishful thinking. But now that I understand the device better, of course it's adjusting the sound you hear. Overall, I think it's a great product for those with the hearing loss this is designed for since I'm getting a good amount of use from it, and I'm really stretching the limits. Who wants to pay thousands of dollars for a hearing aid?

Purchased these for an elderly family member who seems to be able to hear at all frequencies but just needs things said or played a little louder than most people. Hearing evaluations and hearing aids are not covered by Medicare (parts A and B), so getting him an audio exam and paying for hearing aids ($1500+ usually) did not make a lot of sense for his mild hearing loss needs. Did some research and found these on Amazon. They amplify sounds well and are easy to use right out of the box. My family member also likes to listen to music and videos on his phone. So, after looking through reviews I found that this same company also makes a product that is an amplifier with Bluetooth (Atom X)—in essence amplifiers and earbuds in one (the earbuds connect to the phone for everything, so they also serve as a headset for calls). Since some reviews mentioned that the company is easy to work with, I called them to see whether returning the product to them or Amazon was the best route to get the other model. They offered me an upgrade fee from the Atom One to the Atom X that was significantly better than the price difference on Amazon, and the customer service agent (Kendel) was thoughtful enough to authorize for me to ship the Atom Ones back after the Atom Xs arrived so my family member wouldn’t be without an amplifier at any point. The Atom Xs are awesome. Same great sound amplification with the added function of also converting into earbuds. The case is very light weight, the buttons on the screen are big—solid design overall. Very user friendly for my elderly family member and all he required help with was the initial set up of the Bluetooth to the device. Very happy to have found these, would definitely recommend.

For the price they're not bad at all. Im around multiple different environments from loud to quiet so the lack of practical adjustments are quite hindering. The adjustment of frequency and volume are good for the fine tuning. Having to use a specific tool to adjust and set levels are not very practical in my day to day operations. The case is nice, but lack of internal batteries and ability to charge on the go wireless is also a major setback for me. Had to take them out several times due to environmental changes and no ability to adjust on the fly. Again for the price they're decent. Just would love to see more user friendly features on them without a major jump in price. Will continue to use them, just not as frequently as I would like due to the adjustability issues spoken about.

First impressions: The Atom One is the lowest priced of the Audien hearing aids/amplifiers and seems worthy of the name. The in-the-ear devices are small and inconspicuous, and with the furnished multiple earbuds should fit most customers well and eliminate feedback. The sound quality is good for a device at this price point, and the devices can be adjusted both for volume level and pitch. The devices automatically turn on and off when removed from or replaced in the case. There are no adjustment buttons, only small screws. They are a bit awkward, but can be rotated with a tiny plastic screwdriver attached to the wax brush. (Look carefully in the accessories box or you will miss it.) Adjustment is easier with one of those longer metal screwdrivers in a kit designed to replace screws in eyeglasses. Once most people have set the desired levels, further changes should not be needed often. Unlike button volume adjustment on other Audien hearing devices, the tiny screws need a flat surface to rest the case with good light for adjustments. Perhaps an assistant could help with in-ear adjustments; otherwise it would be very difficult or impossible. The case seems secure, with colored indicator lights to show charging levels. The biggest drawback (and difference compared to many competitors and other Audien models) is the lack in the case of a charging battery, presumably to save money. This means that the devices can ONLY be recharged when the case is plugged in to a (included) wall charger. The devices have sufficient internal battery power for a full day's use, which is fortunate since when they run down you will need an ac outlet for recharging. They might last for two 12 hour days without charging; I haven't tried. If you are used to charging your smartphone and Apple Watch every evening, adding the Atom One shouldn't be much of a convenience. Otherwise, it is more of ann inconvenience. In my view it would have been more desirable to omit the included ac charger and instead include a battery built into the case. The devices must be placed properly in the case, as the manual warns, or they will whistle faintly when in the case. The instruction manual is well-written and Audien has a reputation for very good customer service. No app is necessary for operation.
