Eargo is a revolutionary hearing device designed for people who experience, mild to moderate, hearing loss and don’t want to use normal hearing aids.
Eargo devices are easy-to-use, work right out of the box, are sold as a pair and are rechargeable.
The Eargo hearing devices, are virtually invisible. Combining high-end consumer electronics aesthetics with medical device engineering, Eargo devices are packed with technology, yet tiny enough to hide inside the ear.
ENT surgeon, Dr. Florent Michel, was inspired by the feathers of a fishing fly to create the patented Flexi Fibres, that are soft and self-adjusting, and used for the device. Flexi Fibres make Eargo devices comfortable and breathable, and they allow some natural bass sounds to pass right through, since they don't plug the ear canal.

Dr. Florent Michel, Eargo inventor and co-founder, said: “I found that many of my patients were frustrated with existing hearing devices, so I set out to reinvent them. I decided to use my 30 years of experience as an ENT surgeon to develop the innovative hearing solution that my patients have been asking for: a virtually invisible, comfortable, in-ear device that is easy to try, easy to buy, and easy to use.”
Raphael Michel, co-founder and CEO Eargo, said: “Eargo will enable consumers to live and feel better. Everyone's hearing degrades over time; it typically starts in your 30s. Until now, millions of people have had trouble hearing from time to time, but have done nothing about it because of the high cost and unattractiveness of current offerings. We believe that caring for your hearing health should not compromise your lifestyle, appearance or checkbook.”
Eargo devices are easy-to-use, work right out of the box, are sold as a pair and are rechargeable. They are designed to be comfortable all day long and can last a full day on a single charge as they feature an innovative charging solution focused on users' on-the-go lifestyle.
They come with four pre-set sound profiles, which are designed to work for the majority of people with mild to moderate hearing loss. The company's in-house audiologists and dispensers will also custom-program devices for users who send their audiograms to Eargo.
