How Eargo Helps Me Live My Best Life

The most beautiful, valid choice we can make for ourselves is to say yes to the things that bring us closer to our happiest selves. For me, that’s setting aside any shame that might stem from postpartum hearing loss and saying yes to a hearing aid. When I took to the internet to search for the right one, all signs pointed to the Eargo 7.

I was hesitant to wear hearing aids at my young age because of the stigma around them and I’ve seen my grandma fiddle with her hearing aid, forever adjusting it in her ear and nudging the volume dial when she enters a room. So when I learned that the Eargo 7 automatically adjusts to the soundscape I’m in, I thought I’d give it a try. Turns out it’s super comfortable, extremely subtle, and makes my days go so much more smoothly.

The innovative hearing aid that adjusts to my environment

As a boy mom of a baby and a toddler, my days are undeniably loud. That is until they’re not. As my little ones move between high-energy play, quiet focused time, little spontaneous parades, and naps, I can move with them knowing that my Eargo 7 has me covered. I really appreciate the Eargo 7’s Sound Adjust feature. I find that it helps amplify the nearest little voice as it whispers a request, while also preventing my ears from being blasted if there’s an outburst.

Having Eargo has made me focus and feel so much more engaged with my kids in a way that I don’t think I would be had it not been for the hearing loss. And when the house is quiet for that one precious hour when both boys are napping each day, the Eargo’s fast-acting noise reduction really helps so that the sounds of my tidying and sitting down to lunch aren’t clanging in my ears.

No aspects of Motherhood are off-limits

If there’s one thing I’ve come to expect from my toddler, it’s the need for spontaneous baths. And then subsequent splashing. I can’t imagine having to choose between meeting my son’s needs and hearing what he’s saying. The Eargo is water-resistant, so I don’t have to worry about a momentary, accidental splash during his bath.

The support is huge

Since having my first son, I’ve been shouting from the rooftops that mothers need more support. The Eargo might not be delivering home-cooked meals, but its trustworthy customer support does go a long way. When I first received my device, I had some questions about fit, and I was easily able to get ahold of a real person through the app and have my concerns addressed in real time. As I juggle the demands of motherhood, I usually have only a narrow window to take care of tasks like that. All I can say is I wish every product had the same type of reliable help.

Here’s your sign to help yourself

Simply put, the Eargo offers hearing made simple. If you experience hearing loss for any reason at all, you owe it to yourself to resolve it. And, rather than sitting in doctor’s appointments only to wind up with a big, clunky, uncomfortable hearing aid, you should give Eargo a try. It’s virtually invisible, it's comfortable, it uses cutting-edge technology that works, and the customer care is the best of the best. Here’s to hearing every little thing!
