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.

"People have no idea I'm even wearing them. I can tell they are helping me because, when I put them in when the TV is on, the TV is automatically louder. I've had issues with charging them."

— James G

"I can hear waaaaay better with closed petals and in ear canal aids than I did for 14 years with BTEs"

— Dianne K.

"Not much of a difference between programs noted - volume adjustment needs more up/down control"

— Roland R.

"I have used top brand hearing aids, and none have compared to Eargo in hearing quality and comfort. Eargo has hit a Home Run in the Hearing Aid Arena!!!"

— Ronnie K

"It takes awhile to get used to the ear buds in your ears. Also, it takes a bit to figure out just how to adjust the settings for the sound in each ear."

— Dara B

"They fit in the ear canal so nice you don't even know they are there so comfortable"

— James G.

"Beginning with Eargo 5 I found the fidelity to be outstanding. The progression from 5 through 7 in terms of filtering background is quite impressive. The devices are customized for my specific hearing loss using Sound Match on the Eargo application. The match I achieved is excellent. The system requires careful cleaning in order to function properly but I think it well worth the effort"

— Joyce

"I’m very happy with the Eargo hearing aids. I can hear the best I’ve been able to in 20 years. They were very easy to set up. I am very pleased at the sound quality while using them with my phone. I also appreciate that they are not as noticeable as traditional hearing aids and look like normal ear buds. I am very satisfied."

— Julia Dean

"Tried these out to replace my behind the ear kind. Really enjoying them. Only been 2 1/2 weeks but big difference in wind noise and clarity. Love being able to adjust with my phone. Customer service has been awesome also."

— Matt Smith

"The device is small and fit well in my ear. The sound quality is good, although I don't know what is considered perfect quality for a hearing aid, given that I have no other devices to compare against. Overall, I am satisfied with what I purchased (despite it relatively high price)."

— Benjamin W.

"I use them daily. People do not know I am using a hearing device. They are virtually invisible. The sound quality and noise cancellation are excellent. I charge them overnight and the charge lasts the entire day. I recommend the Eargo 7 without reservation."

— Renee Weiss

"I have been using my Eargo 7's for a full week now, and could not be happier! Works great, discreet, good app controls. My ears have adapted nicely, no problems so far. I recommend the Eargo 7. Good buy!"

— Bryan P Hyde

"These very expensive hearing aids work well, but have limitations in terms of fine-tuning and adjusting to various ambient conditions. I think they provided good amplification and excellent customer service and follow up."

— Dexter Ludlow

"I ordered these in January of 2024. I am so pleased I got them. They are easy to set up, easy to adjust and no one can see them!! I found the closed petals to be too itchy but the open petals work great."

— Kathryn Phipps

"I like everything about my EARGOS. They are easy to insert, virtually invisible, rechargeable and easy to clean. They work so well that the other day when my daughter (who has a very soft voice) visited, I was able to hear every word she said for the first time in years. I have nothing negative to say about this product."

— Laurie Sheldon

"Bought a set a few weeks ago, I like the small size. So far they have exceeded my expectations, as good as ones by other manufacturers at many times more expensive."

— Wesley St.John

"These are better than other hearing aids I have tried before. I particularly like the fact that they are easy to wear and discreetly invisible."

— Michael E Eggen

"I’m a 74-year-old man that has needed hearing aids for awhile. I read so much about hearing loss leading to dementia and other things that can affect your overall health and well-being. I tried the behind the ear hearing aids a couple of years ago and found them effective, but I never wore them because I didn’t want anyone to think I was old. I did a great deal of research and thought I would try out the Eargo because they are invisible and effective. After 2 months I can verify that they really work, and I wear them all the time without anybody knowing. Their customer service and support are the best I’ve ever seen. Would highly recommend these."

— Tony in Colorado

"Excellent device, hides well, and improves hearing in difficult situations like restaurants. Well done."

— Michael Kobernick

"I am new to hearing "helpers" and resisted the over the ear concept as being aging, I read an endorsement of Eargos in Wirecutter which I have used for other products and trust them. In the their review they said that their staff would choose Eargos if they wanted a discreet hearing helper. I ordered them and think that they are a great product. In fact, I was about to get in the shower to wash my hair last week and totally forgot they were in my ear. The directions and staff are very helpful and supportive with answering any questions I have had. I have no complaints and am 100% satisfied. Patricia"
