Editor’s Note: Connection is so important for all of us — especially during the holidays. But what if a loved one is growing increasingly isolated due to hearing loss? That’s what happened with Mom. Keep reading to find out how Audien changed her life…
What Talking With Mom Was Like Before Audien:
It was this Thanksgiving and Mom wasn’t answering questions, passing the sweet potatoes instead of my cranberry sauce. And — most painful of all — she couldn’t hear Rory, her favorite grandkid, bragging about how he’d made the swim team.
Hearing loss affects 1 in 3 individuals over 65. And Mom’s hearing problem was too obvious to ignore…and too painful. It felt like she was slipping away from us. So, just before Christmas, I gently broached the subject. Doctor’s appointments, hearing tests, the price of hearing aids, the stigma…was overwhelming and a bit embarrassing, for her.
I wanted to help her figure out her hearing issues and give her back her life. Rory researched and sent me a link to Audien Hearing saying that USA Today rated Audien’s 5-star hearing aids the “BEST HEARING AIDS OF 2024.”
Audien provides discreet, prescription-free hearing solutions for individuals with mild to moderate hearing loss. Registered with the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Audien’s a trustworthy, easy-to-use, over-the-counter (OTC) option that simplifies setup and care.
What Audien Offers:
Prescription hearing aids can run upwards of $5,000 — or more. In comparison, Audien Hearing’s high-quality hearing aids only cost between $189 – $689, offering crystal-clear sound without needing a hearing test. Given the value, we figured it was worth taking the chance with Audien. But which model?
Well, Audien has a bestselling Atom 2 Series that is super-compact and features a sleek, contoured design that’s now the industry standard. Small in-canal styles minimize visibility. Both Atom 2 Series models have rechargeable batteries (generally last 24 hours) and offer wired and wireless charging options.
The Atom 2 ($189) features the advanced A2 chip and four versatile listening modes: Conversation, Noisy Environment, Road Vehicle, and Outdoor.
The Atom Pro 2 ($289) is smaller but delivers big-time quality. It even comes with its own UV-cleaning and charging case.
The ION Series raises the bar with the ION ($489), featuring the A2 Max™ chip, noise cancellation, and directional microphones, so Mom could identify the source of incoming sounds. The ION Pro ($689) adds Bluetooth, app control, streaming, and call answering. All ION models have a 24-hour battery life.
When I shared my findings with Mom — she was truly touched. Although she was hesitant, she agreed to give the Atom Pro 2 a chance.
What Talking With Mom’s Like With Audien:
The difference is like night and day. Watching Mom chatting with the kids, laughing, joking, enjoying their stories — she’s thrilled to hear about Rory’s swim team victories —it has brought us all closer.
Mom’s hearing loss had affected us more than we’d realized. But now? We’re a family again. Thanks to the Atom Pro 2. Plus, they’re so discreet she’s never self-conscious or uncomfortable.
Audien includes a 45-day, 100% money-back guarantee so you can order the right device for you with absolute peace of mind. There’s a 1-year warranty for defective hearing aids and guaranteeing a replacement.
Customer service is readily available via phone, chat, or email. Their help center also shares informative videos on setting up, wearing, and cleaning your Audien hearing aid.
