Go Prime Hearing Aids

Last year: paid over $3500 (well: Healthcare did) for the Dr visit/prescription/high-priced versions and never could get them to work wotrth a flying..., anyway: first day with the Go-Primes and I'm happy as a clam!Never could get the 'made-for-my-ears' pair to stop sounding like they were talking to one another, in some alien language. What a rip!

I work for a charity that works with a lot of senior clients who need hearing aids. We purchased these for a client as a trial of OTC hearing aids based on a review by the National Council on Aging. Here is our client's review.************Out of the box,It came with two color coded OTC hearing aids.One Charging Adapter, One Charging Case and One Charging Cable.Six Domes two each Small, Medium and Large.Four Spare Wax Guards and One Cleaning Brush.User Manual.After Charging,The units looked nice but the part that showed When Installed is black and very noticeable to others. They were able to be seen from a few feet away. I know this may seem vain but we all want to be at our best and not want others to point out our faults especially when we get older.DomesThe units come with three sizes of domes. The medium size comes on the unit so this was the first one I tried. It took a bit to get them adjusted but this was my first time with hearing aids so it might have been my inexperience that made it harder. After wearing them for a day I tried the smaller ones but soon found out that they keep falling out of my ears. They fit similar to air pods but are not as comfortable. It felt as if I had heavy cotton stuffed in my ears. The domes are to be replaced every month and sometimes sooner so along with the wax guards they will be purchased separately. The domes were very hard to put onto the Hearing Aid. It took several tries to get them on.Adjusting the Unit.The units, which have to be adjusted separately, have eight volume levels and three different program levels all controlled by one small black button on each earpiece. Both ear pieces must be adjusted separately. Given the size of a person's finger and the small button it is very hard to adjust the volume and the program levels. While Adjusting the volume level, there is a great deal of electrical noise. (If you are a Star Wars Fan it was like R2 D2 on steroids) During this you must listen for a small beep. Remembering this is for people who are hard of hearing and probably have fingers that are a bit numb, I would have thought they could have done better with the adjustment design. I could not use them while on the phone because of the previously mentioned electrical sounds.Sound Quality,First impression they were loud. Even at the lowest level, anything I did sounded like an amplifier was turned up. Example when I opened a bag of chips it sounded like the bag was right next to my ear. The quality of the sound was unnatural like the tinny, slightly echoing sound of a cheap radio. I did use the three programs to test it but I didn't see it improving that much.Final Comments,Because these units are going mostly to the elderly, I cannot recommend them. They are too hard to work with. After several days I still haven't adjusted them to a working level. The sound was harsh and the adjustment was confusing.

Received the order on time. After close inspection, it appeared that the left ear piece had been used, as it wasn't as clean as the right. If it hadn't been an almost emergency to get them as fast as possible,as one of my other pair died on me, so I was without, I would have sent them back. The sound control system is easy to use, but you need to use caution inserting them in your ears as it's easy to accidentally touch the operation button. I don't notice any noise cancellation nor do they give you any relief from the ringing in your ears. Once you chose the correct plastic ear piece, they'll fit pretty good, however, they're larger than the photo shows.I gave them 4 stars overall, having used less expensive sound amplifiers They are a little better

These were unsatisfactory for my specific needs. I found that even the lowest volume setting was at times, too much for me. Snapping and clacking noises were very sharp. Noise reduction suppresses all sound, including the foreground I want to hear. Applause on TV, crowd noise, etc. brings the total volume down and then it remains down for about three seconds after the noise is gone. So I miss some of the foreground speech. None of the three ear "domes" was good fit. They fell out a few times even with the best fit. They do amplify the sound and in some cases were good for my hearing profile, and the price is good. They are just not for me.

I purchased the Go Prime hearing aids as a replacement for my 94 yr-old Dad's "In-The Ear" brand, not knowing what to expect and we were so pleased, my Dad is smiling again!! There are 3-channels (Normal-High-Low frequency and (8) volumes. My Dad settled on the Low with #4 volume. Very nice quality. Definitely need someone with a steady hand to make the adjustments and you can only cycle up but there is a 'beep' when you hit the highest volume, so you can keep track of the setting. We started out with the 'Miracle Ear' $3,000 ones but after they broke, we began trying these online ones. Supposedly can hold a 30hr charge but I just put them in every night but the charger seems to know what to do. The charger has magnets so no need to fumble with each holder, they drop right in. Definitely worth the money so far.......

To adjust volume higher is a simple click of the button, but to adjust to a lower volume you must click all the to the highest volume before it starts over at the lowest miss the one you want and 8 more clicks to try again Also the extra sizes of domes was not in the box, a call to the seller got a call amazon response and calling amazon i got a call the seller, so no resolution for missing parts!

it worked for a while then one hearing piece stopped working, contacted customer support, first very argumentative then tried to do some over the phone trouble shoot when it didn’t work told me to send the defective piece, told me because I purchased it from amazon i have to pay for the shipping, again after an argument they sent me the return label, I sent the defective piece, after couple of weeks received call saying I have to send everything including the working piece I told them I cannot until I buy another hearing aid I was told nothing can be done until I send charging box and working piece, no resolution yet its going on since May of this year.waste of time and its a bad product it does not perform as advertised and terrible after sales support! I will not buy this product again and will not recommend it either!

Work great for the price!
