Lexie B2 OTC Hearing Aids Powered by Bose - Bluetooth Call Enabled for iOS, Rechargeable with App Control, all day Comfort. Self-Fit Solution, Noise Reduction, for Mild to Moderate Hearing Loss (Gray)

I am completely satisfied with these hearing aids. They can only be bought in pairs, because they are designed to work together. The price is very attractive compared to the overpriced hearing aids on the market. When the Lexie B2 are used for what they are designed for they work great! However, they will not work for everyone. I was fortunate that my hearing impairment was in the correct range of these hearing aids. I have mild hearing loss in one ear and moderate in the other. If you have more than moderate hearing loss in either ear, these hearing aids will not satisfy you. (Get or take online a hearing test). Most people loose high frequency hearing first and it keeps getting worse over time. They usually notice it when it starts to affect speech and TV watching. Things like gun fire, explosions, loud head phones, loud music etc. can start the hearing loss process. Looking back, I should have protected my hearing more. I hope those of you with good hearing now, will take heed to this. The settings on the Lexie B2 hearing aids are designed to be easy to use and you do not have to be an audiologist to adjust them. The frequency loss settings are hidden in the Tone (high frequency) and Base (Low frequency) settings. The App has one slider for Tone/Bass. Many people have more loss in one ear than the other so there is a balance setting to adjust for the weaker ear. This setting works great and is easy to adjust by trial and error. Most people with hearing loss have trouble in noisy environments and I do also. There is a focus setting that lets you focus forward for conversations in noisy environments and an everywhere setting for normal environments. This works for me and I see great improvement when using this. The World volume raises and lowers the amplification and keeps your balance, focus and Tone/Base settings as previously set. The world volume works with the app or the volume button on either ear. Raising or lowering world volume on either ear set it on both ears. The last very handy feature is the saved settings one. You can save up to ten different named settings and switch between them using the phone app. One is labelled Everyday and this one is the normal setting to use most of the time. The phone app uses Bluetooth to communicate to the hearing aids. This will disconnect sometimes and unfortunately may be difficult to reconnect. I have found that if I turn off Bluetooth on the phone and then turn it back on, I can reconnect without having to put the hearing aids in to the charging dock or turning them off/on . Both of these last two methods are more difficult than just recycling the Bluetooth setting on the phone. The world volume setting I use for everyday is 40% of the max setting. They can definitely amply sound for seniors. I raise the world volume setting to 60% for watching TV so I can have the TV volume very low. The Tone setting for me is at max due to my high frequency hearing loss. Since mine is at max I can see these hearing aids will not work for people with more than moderate hearing loss. Unfortunately, those with severe hearing loss will have to select another hearing aid.

I bought these a few months ago and wanted to give them a fair shot before leaving a review. I am 32 years old and have had to wear hearing aids since I was 6 years old. I never actually wore my hearing aides much when I was younger cause I hated how bulky they were and I was always active. Obviously that was years ago and I’m comparing these new Lexie hearing aides to very old technology. I work outside a lot and drive heavy machinery so I’m around loud noises most of the time. But the reason I needed them was when I would be doing office work or communicating with customers.First off I think the company takes good pride in their products. They called me a week after I registered my hearing aides and made sure I was getting along with them and if I needed any assistance with the fittings or connecting to my phone.I’ve noticed other reviews on Amazon saying they’ve had to disconnect them or turn them off and reconnect them to the phone to change the hearing aide settings. I tried to recreate this issue and only experienced that problem when I exited the app. I couldn’t reconnect the hearing aides to the app BUT I went into my settings (iPhone) and clicked on hearing devices and just reconnected them. Super easy and quick. I found that leaving the app running in the background allowed me change settings and save them whenever I wanted with no hassle. I haven’t noticed any battery drain cause of this. Also, being able to connect to the phone and adjust the volume of my audiobook or music separately from the actual hearing aide volume blew me away! What’s even better is I can choose to have the music/ audiobook in one ear or both. Which I usually let it play in one.I haven’t really messed with talking on the phone but I’ve tried a few times. I didn’t think it was great. All of the noises were competing with each other whenever someone on the other line talked. This wasn’t a huge deal for me as I have a separate headset I like to use for talking. Which I’m able to connect at the same time as the hearing aides so I just push a button to answer.I have three issues with these. One being my ear gets really sweaty so the fitting tends to slide around. But I really wouldn’t call that an issue with the product but I didn’t think it would be this bad. The other is certain higher pitch clapping sound nearly the same. It was hard for me to distinguish between someone slapping a wall or clapping hands. Which leads me to my next issue. Occasionally the voices of people talking to me sound electronic. It usually only happens if there is a lot of noises around such as being outside and it’s windy. It’s not aggressive or anything, I had to focus to hear it but it happens. Overall I love these. I would recommend them to anyone who is interested in hearing aides but don’t wanna blow 7grand right off the bat. give them a shot, spend time to get to know the hearing aides and how they work on your phone!
