Received product from vendor within 26 hours of placing order! I had been using a competitor's rechargeable model with similar Db specs for moderate to moderate severe hearing loss. I was able to simply put the batteries in and start wearing them. Smaller and more comfortable than the rechargeable model I had been using and significantly better sound quality. I had worn the Otofonix Elite for over a year and had switched to a different model for better sound. The earpiece attachment is more secure and stable on the Encore versus the Elite.

I have been using the Otofonix Encore for one week now and I'm glad I purchased them.
These are replacing a very expensive set that I have had for four years and they no longer work.
The Encore aids, though one tenth the price, work every bit as well as my original expensive set, though they are not as high teck as my originals.
The Encores were very easy to set up to my liking with all the assorted ear pieces that come with the aids. I purchased one for each ear.
It took me a long time to decide on these aids but I made the right choice.
They are not perfect but neither were the top of the line aids I had originally purchased. No hearing aid could ever duplicate the sound quality that God originally designed for us.
But to be able to hear clearly when in a meeting, talking with the Grand kids or watching a movie makes life so much more relaxing.
I can again stop and talk with people and not avoid them because I can't carry on a conversation .
Thank you everyone at Otofonix for providing a very good product at an affordable price.

I've been wearing amplified aids for over twenty years. Tried numerous brands. These aids are by far the best I've ever owned (Encore). I had to use the included Ear Hook Kit to receive the best hearing. The Power One Batteries lasted 12 days. I've tried about every brand in my other aids and the best I could get them to last was 8 days. I waited 12 days before sending this review. If you buy them, give them a chance and try the different settings to tweek them to your liking. OH....Absolutely no squeal or feed back whatsoever even when I tip my head far left or right and touch my shoulder. That was one of the biggest problems I had with the other brands. If I was working on something and had to tip my head at that angle for awhile, I had to take the aids out. Try them...I think you will like them. Ron from Central Florida.

I first started noticing that my hearing was diminished in high school. After a battery of tests, I was told, "we don't know what's wrong, so we can't give you a hearing aid." I've dealt with it for over 30 years, choosing my seats carefully, positioning myself so that my stronger ear is toward the person who is speaking, reading lips, etc. Enter 2020, and everyone has their mouth covered, and all of a sudden, I can't read lips, and now I can't hear anyone. My father had me try his $$$ hearing aids, and the difference was immediate. I started researching, and discovered these. They arrived quickly, and were set to use right away. After 30 years of thinking that a cat's purr was simply a vibration to be felt, not heard, I heard my cat purr for the first time. My daughter says my speaking voice is quieter and I'm not saying, "what?" all the time. It's not perfect, but the difference is amazing. I plan to get a left aid as soon as I can afford it.

Hello to those wondering if they should buy Otofonix. I've had a pair of Otofonix Encore aids for two years and I think they are fantastic. Moreover, they are remarkable in that you can do your own maintenance (e.g., wax removal) when necessary. I'm on the site today because I am recommending Otofonix to my brother who, I noticed at a recent family gathering, is having trouble hearing. Personally, I can hear at family gatherings, restaurants, and, importantly, at business meetings thanks to my Encores. Previously, I found myself faking my way through those situations or simply isolating at restaurant functions. Otofonix changed all of that. The Encores are an all-around tremendous product and the company's service is remarkable and trustworthy. Oh, and the Encore is certainly much sturdier than the significantly more expensive device I had used before from another provder. So, should you try them out? There's nothing to lose with the company's 45-day trial. Just do it! I think you'll be as pleased as I am with Otofonix.
