Made for everyday hearing loss

Audien hearing aids are made for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss who want a simple device without a clinic visit or a prescription.

Clearer voices where it matters

They amplify everyday sounds — conversation, television, phone calls — so voices come through clearer in the situations that matter most.

A fraction of the usual price

Prices start at $98 a pair, a fraction of the thousands that traditional prescription hearing aids usually cost.

Reconnect

Rejoin the conversations you have been missing

Straining to follow a story at the dinner table is exhausting — and slowly, many people stop trying. Clearer hearing brings back the small moments: a grandchild’s joke, a quiet aside, the punchline everyone else already caught.

  • Follow group conversations without asking people to repeat themselves
  • Enjoy family dinners, calls, and gatherings again
  • Feel present instead of nodding along

Stay sharp & independent

Better hearing supports a fuller, healthier life

Research links untreated hearing loss to social isolation, fatigue, and faster cognitive decline. Treating it early helps you stay confident, active, and independent — on the phone, on a walk, or out with friends.

  • Stay safe and aware outdoors and on the go
  • Reduce the mental fatigue of constant straining
  • Keep doing the activities you love with confidence

Questions & answers
