About Soundly
i

Soundly is an independently owned hearing health research tool. Our reviews are conducted by hearing aid wearers and audiologists. We physically review the leading hearing aids on the market for sound quality, comfort, durability, and more. Our review process starts with hands-on unboxing and days, weeks, or months of wear. We also record live sound demos using a calibrated binaural microphone (read more here). We experiment with backend fitting software for prescription products and use test box measures to measure prescriptive accuracy and flexibility. Our work is funded through reader support. When you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Read more about our story here.

A New Invisible-Style Hearing Aid For 2025

Eargo 8 is on our shortlist for anyone looking for a virtually invisible hearing aid that blends comfort, technology, and smart automation. Designed specifically for people with mild to moderate hearing loss, Eargo 8 delivers strong sound processing in a completely-in-the-canal design.

Eargo 8 is the new flagship from Eargo and now comes with Smart Sound Adjust, which automatically adapts settings based on your environment, and Device Scan, which helps you keep tabs on performance and maintenance. The result: clear sound, less hassle, and one of the most discreet solutions available today.

Eargo 8 Background

Eargo has spent the last decade rethinking how hearing aids should look and feel. Their signature form factor fits entirely inside the ear canal, making it virtually invisible during daily wear. Unlike many traditional hearing aids, Eargo doesn’t require an in-person fitting. You can purchase Eargo 8 directly through Soundly and receive a complimentary setup call with a licensed audiologist - all from home.

The Eargo 8 is the brand's newest and smartest product to date. It comes with improved sound fidelity, enhanced water resistance (IP68 rated), and a redesigned charging case that supports up to two weeks of use. All great upgrades for an already strong product line.

What We Like

  • Invisible Design: Eargo 8 sits completely in the ear canal and is nearly invisible, even up close. Ideal for users who want a discreet hearing solution.
  • Smart Sound Adjust: The new automatic environmental detection system tunes your settings based on whether you're in a quiet room, on a walk, or in a noisy restaurant—no manual input needed.
  • All-Day Comfort: The soft eartips (available in multiple sizes) make Eargo 8 one of the most comfortable hearing aids we’ve tested.
  • Upgraded Sound Quality: With 16 bands and 8 channels, Eargo 8 delivers clearer highs, richer lows than previous generations.
  • Water and Sweat Resistant: With an IP68 rating, Eargo 8 can handle pretty much any level of moisture short of lap swimming.
  • Wireless and USB-C Charging: The magnetic case is pocket-sized, USB-C compatible, and includes wireless charging. It holds up to 14 full charges.
  • No Office Visit Needed: Eargo’s team offers remote support from licensed hearing professionals to help you adjust and personalize your settings, all from the comfort of home.

How Programming Works

Eargo 8 is a self-fitting hearing aid that begins with a built-in hearing test delivered through the devices themselves. Based on your results, the hearing aids automatically adjust to your specific hearing profile. Other notable features include:

  • Smart Sound Adjust: Automatically classifies your environment and changes settings to reduce background noise and amplify speech in real time.
  • Ongoing App-Based Customization: Adjust volume, bass/treble, and listening mode using the intuitive Eargo app (iPhone and Android).
  • Device Scan: Run performance checks through the app to ensure your hearing aids stay in top condition.
  • Support From Real Professionals: Eargo includes remote setup and adjustment help from their team of licensed hearing professionals.

Who Is a Candidate?

Eargo 8 is a good choice for individuals looking for a discreet, high-tech hearing aid without the need for in-person clinic visits. Key traits of ideal users include:

  • Mild to Moderate Hearing Loss: Take our free hearing test to assess your hearing loss level.
  • Invisible Preference: Many users choose Eargo because they don’t want their hearing aids to show. The CIC design makes Eargo 8 virtually undetectable.
  • Tech-Comfortable: The app experience is simple, but users will benefit from being comfortable using a smartphone.
  • Remote Setup Over Office Visits: Eargo’s model is built for people who prefer to manage their care from home, with professional support available on-demand.

Overall Thoughts

Eargo 8 is the invisible OTC hearing aid we recommend to anyone who wants a subtle solution with powerful performance. The combination of comfort, intelligent automation, and high-quality audio makes it a standout in the over-the-counter category—especially for users who value discretion.

While this model doesn’t offer Bluetooth music streaming or call handling, it more than makes up for it with smart features, great sound, and unmatched invisibility.

If you’ve been hesitant to try hearing aids, Eargo 8 is one of the most approachable ways to get started.

Pros 👍
  • Excellent Background Noise Control: Eargo 8 handles background noise better than past models, and the adjustable noise filter in the app noticeably improves overall listening comfort.
  • Automatic Program Switching: The device intelligently switches programs as your environment changes—like moving from a quiet room to a restaurant—putting it on par with premium hearing aids.
  • Clear Listening Mode Labels: Unlike previous models that used numbers, Eargo 8 announces modes like “Mask,” “Restaurant,” or “Meeting,” making it easier to know what setting you’re in.
  • Ultra-Discreet Design: Eargo 8 remains one of the smallest rechargeable hearing aids on the market. It’s nearly invisible, even up close.
Cons 👎
  • The app and setup are intuitive for most users, but not foolproof—those uncomfortable with smartphone controls may find it challenging.
  • Eargo 8 does not support Bluetooth streaming for music or phone calls due to its completely-in-the-canal design.
  • It's also priced higher than some OTC alternatives.
