<p>Hearing loss isn’t just frustrating; it’s also expensive. Most medical-grade hearing aids cost around $10k, and they’re

<p>Like premium hearing aids, the new Eargo 6 use an “invisible” complete-in-canal (CIC) design. They also pack a new “Sound Adjust” feature that automatically optimizes sound for your environment—this is a feature you rarely see in affordable hearing aids,
of course. (You can manually change your sound settings using pre-set “profiles” if you don’t want things to be automatic.)<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>And for those who have trouble understanding mask-wearers, the new Eargo 6 have a new “mask mode” that enhances muffled speech. It’s a neat feature, although it’s tucked within the Eargo app, which is a bit of a shame.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>Our Editor-In-Chief, Josh Hendrickson, had a chance to try the Eargo 6 hearing aids at CES 2022. Here’s a short snippet of his experience, which is fully detailed in our

<p>I stood in a noisy, crowded room filled with conversation, and yet I could hear with near-perfect clarity every word being spoken to me. It was amazing. Especially considering the Eargo 6 model is so discreet, it’s practically invisible. That might satisfy
anyone who refuses to be seen wearing hearing aids.<o:p></o:p></p>
</blockquote>
<p>I should also note that the Eargo 6 have an IPX7 water-resistance rating. While they aren’t exactly swim-proof, they should survive an accidental trip in the shower or an accidental dunk in a swimming pool.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p>All of these features come <a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fredirect.viglink.com%2f%3fkey%3d204a528a336ede4177fff0d84a044482%26u%3dhttps%253A%252F%252Fshop.eargo.com%252Feargo-6%3f&c=E,1,uz-e6j5DxFLFq_WOTk5UlqAf0WmPB7kC3M9E49bj5xoBfashtJGpujj1X4NO03tIuAdPFPcN9OBsddP3rR47cKCQzQNrj4OgD5Jz7DaCou_MAu1bM1vjaXn3&typo=1">
at just $2,950</a>, the same price that Eargo charged for flagship hearing aids <a href="https://linkprotect.cudasvc.com/url?a=https%3a%2f%2fwww.reviewgeek.com%2f32379%2flisten-up-eargos-neo-hifi-hearing-aids-will-make-your-ears-work-again%2f&c=E,1,8AO1obj5TcY1VAoz6ef9MMrRn1RZsv_01Deuk3LTIWX6-POloECHUFBP61aMlwhaDyBcF5OtSwPld8ZoocGHXahtrTAPv5F0-a0__OjCVg,,&typo=1">
in years past</a>. Eargo also offers a 36-month financing plan for these new earbuds, which should come in handy if you don’t have three grand laying around.<o:p></o:p></p>
