Dr. Jessica Hinson, AuD: “The ATOM ITE style is sticking out of the ear pretty far in every photo advertised. Also, the ATOM does not designate a right and left aid, therefore, they do not fit snugly in the ear. Overall, Audien is a very cost-efficient economy hearing device geared towards those with mild hearing loss. I wouldn’t recommend them for noise reduction or speech clarity functions, considering the devices do not take your hearing test into account; however, they could be a good option for those who simply need a little volume. Unless you have large, straight, ear canals, I would not recommend the Atom, but would steer you towards the BTE model. The charging station is straight forward, which is great for those with poor dexterity who hate to change batteries weekly; however, to make adjustments to your Audien devices, you’ll have to use a small screwdriver or learn the push-and-hold button functionality.”, We reviewed audiologist recommended hearing aids to find the top devices for seniors.
