Fio is Lucid's invisible-style product that offers rechargeable batteries and allows customization using the Lucid app. The Lucid Fio is a lot like the Eargo hearing aid (although slightly larger) at around 40% less price. Like Eargo (and most invisible hearing aids), Fio does not allow Bluetooth streaming. One notable feature in Fio is that in order to adjust programs or the volume, you will need to place the devices back in their recharge case.

Pros

Rechargeable and nearly invisible 

Easy to handle and comfortable in the ear 

Affordable compared to other invisible options 

Cons

Must place the product back in the case to recharge

Slightly larger than competing options from Eargo

How It Works
+

Lucid Fio is available over-the-counter, meaning you can purchase the hearing aids online or at a local retail store (some Walmart stores and Sam's Club). 

Once you receive your new hearing aids, you'll use the Lucid app to customize the amplification and frequency to match your hearing loss. Unlike some other OTC devices, Lucid does not administer a hearing test through their app; instead, they give you access to a control panel and an interactive chart called Lucid Shape. You will use those tools to customize the hearing aids to your comfort. 

If you have questions or issues along the way, you can call the Lucid support team for live troubleshooting and advice.

âœ”ī¸ Nearly invisible unless someone looks directly in your ear

The breakdown

If you are looking for an invisible hearing aid that doesn't require a doctor's visit or a custom mold, Fio should be on your shortlist.

The tech inside

Fio packs a lot of technology into a small space. Our team found that the sound quality is reasonably clear, and the app customizations are impressively flexible.

The rechargeable batteries last 16 hours (long enough for most days' wear).

The drawbacks? Fio doesn't allow streaming and requires users to place the device back in the case to adjust the volume.

Getting up close

You'll have to look closely to spot Fio in the ear. The device is impressively tiny and sits in the way of glasses and masks.

Fio is only available in metallic silver color at this time. Each device has a pull tab on the back to allow for easy removal.

Overall notes:

The field gets narrow pretty quickly if you are looking for an in-the-ear and OTC device. Most people compare Fio to its closest competitor Eargo. Fio is more affordable and more customizable. It's also slightly larger.
