BlaidsX Pro Programmable Hearing Aids for Adults with Mobile App Hearing Test & Noise Cancellation, Hearing Aids for Seniors with Bluetooth, Dual Mic & 48 DSP Channels | USA-Made Multi Core Processor

I have worked professionally with public speakers for nearly 40 years on conventions, political rallies and meetings of all sorts. During that time I have listened to the presenters on monitors provided by the best audio technicians in the meeting and convention business. I know what good audio sounds like. The BlaidsX Pro BTE were the hearing aids I selected to try, and they have gone beyond my expectations. The sound quality is spot on. The directional source of sound is precise. I chose the replaceable battery model because of my experience with professional sound technicians and their preferred use of batteries. I get six days from the batteries, and have two batteries always nearby so I don't miss a sound. At current prices I figure about $25.00 a year for batteries.The fact is this review should have been written weeks ago, but I've been too busy listening. The quality takes you by surprise. It sounds natural, not amplified, which is the goal of professional audio reinforcement. Since I do a fair amount of public speaking, I was delighted that I sounded like I always have to myself and to others.The television volume has been turned up for several years. With these aids the volume is turned way down. That did create a curious issue. Being used to loud TV, the notion that the volume should be increased was an early reaction, but every word was clear, so with some change of habit, the sound remains much lower.The various settings for different conditions are very helpful, especially "Indoor" for noisy restaurants, and "outdoor" for noisy stadiums. I've used both and could hold a conversation with someone three or four people separated from me. The noise cancellation is terrific.I live in a big city so there was some difficulty using app's hearing test. The first was interrupted by Mister Softee, a few others by loud car radios or just plain loud cars. On a visit to friends in a rural area I got the quiet I needed to get the best test.Other things which may concern you. Great technical support, literally 24/7. I wear glasses, these are relatively small and don't cause a problem with glasses. If vanity is a concern for you, these are not likely to be noticed by very many people. The price is outstanding. They come nicely packaged. It would have been helpful for some help in how to choose the piece that goes in your ear (there are 5 ends included) especially for first-timers like me, but I settled quickly on the ones I have stuck with.Now why the title for this review. It goes back to the familiar saying, "Happy wife, happy life." For several years my response to virtually everything my wife said was , "what"? That went away the moment I put on these hearing aids. This sound investment leads to a "happy life." If you're not hearing what you should, make a sound investment and get Blaids today.

UPDATED! SEE BELOW I recently purchased a pair of Blaids X Pro hearing aids from Amazon. I have at least two problems with them.First, the left one doesn't work. I can hear the beeping sound when changing modes, such as from everyday to TV, suggesting that the path from the hearing aid's electronics to my ear is ok. But I can't hear any external sounds, as if the microphone isn't working. I've tried all the controls available to me via the app, but nothing makes sounds come through the hearing aid.Second, they do not appear as advertised. "BlaidsX Pro Programmable Hearing Aids for Adults with Mobile App Hearing Test & Noise Cancellation, Hearing Aids for Seniors with Bluetooth, Dual Mic & 48 DSP Channels", as it appears on Amazon, where I purchased them, appears to indicate that 48 channels are adjustable with the mobile app. Nowhere on the web page where they are sold does it indicate a far more limited number of "channels" the user can adjust. I think that is grossly misrepresenting what users can actually control.Also, perhaps as a part of the first problem, the battery in the left hearing aid lasts less than half as long as in the right one even though it is the right one that I need the most volume on.We'll see how customer support responds.UPDATE: You've heard or used the term "like pulling teeth" to indicate something was difficult, maybe a bit painful, but ultimately successful. Well, dealing with this outfit was more like a botched root canal; time-consuming, painful, and unsuccessful. I started by telling them I'd like to return the hearing aids. They were determined to not let that happen. I sent one back (it quit working, just about 35 days old), and they either repaired it or replaced it, but no luck on return for refund. I'm very dissatisfied with them. I recommend going somewhere else. If you decide to get these, good luck with your root canal.
