1.Nobody at the table knows you are wearing them

Sits inside the ear canal. No tube, no hook.

The Comfort sits inside the ear canal, not behind the ear. No tube, no plastic hook, nothing to catch on glasses.

Five dome sizes, XS to XL, come in the box, so it seats flush and stays put.

The difference: your grandchildren see you, not a device.

"Amazing hearing aids, they're so tiny, you don't even see them! Better than my $5k ones"

See how small the Comfort is

2.It turns down the room, not just up the volume

Cheap amplifiers make everything louder, the dishwasher included.

The Comfort runs 16 channels of digital processing tuned to speech, a noise-reduction mode for restaurants and family dinners, and feedback control so it does not whistle.

Where customers use it most: the restaurant, the TV, the phone, and church.

"My wife says ive stopped shouting at the television. That alone is worth the money!!"

3.No tiny batteries. Charge it like your phone.

Two hours in the case, 30+ hours of wear

Drop the pair in the case at night. Two hours of charging gives 30+ hours of wear.

The case fits in a pocket, so the spare charge travels with you.

The difference: no fiddly button cells, no running out halfway through dinner.

7.The price: you were paying for the clinic, not the hearing aid

A clinic pair costs $2,000 to $5,000. The parts inside are not the reason.

Modern Hearing publishes the breakdown. The hearing-aid technology is about $450. The rest is rent, sales commissions, marketing and repeat appointments.

What a $5,000 clinic pair is made of

Hearing aid technology$450
Premium clinic rent$1,150
Sales commissions$950
Marketing overhead$900
Multiple appointments$750
Audiologist fees$800
You pay$5,000

What Modern Hearing charges for

Same class of hearing technology$450
Shipping from the US warehouse$8
US phone and email support$42
Clinic rent, commissions, appointments~$2,850
Regular price$500.00
National Hearing Week$249.99

Clinic figures are Modern Hearing's published breakdown of a typical $5,000 clinic pair. Your local quotes may differ.

The Modern Hearing difference: it ships direct from a New Jersey warehouse, so none of that is in the price. $249.99 during National Hearing Week.

"I went to three different clinics. Miracle-ear wanted $4,200, Costco wanted $2,000. Then I found Modern Hearing for $249. Same technology, fraction of the price. The markup these companies charge is criminal."

Questions people ask before they order

Will it work for my kind of hearing loss?

The Comfort is made for mild to moderate hearing loss, whether it is age-related or from years of noise. If you ask people to repeat themselves, struggle with softer voices, or turn the TV up past what the household likes, that is the range it is built for.

Not sure? That is what the 45 days at home are for.

How can it cost $249.99 when a clinic charges thousands?

Because there is no clinic in the price. No rent, no sales commissions, no appointment fees. Modern Hearing ships direct from its New Jersey warehouse and supports you by phone and email.

Will it fit my ears?

Five pairs of soft silicone domes, XS to XL, come in the box. Most people find a comfortable fit within minutes, and the video guide shows how.

What if it does not help me?

Arrange a refund within the 45-day home trial (see the refund policy for the terms). If a pair develops a fault inside 12 months, a replacement ships in 3 to 7 days.

I have tinnitus. Does this help?

The Comfort is a hearing aid, not a tinnitus treatment, and Modern Hearing does not claim it is one. Some customers say the ringing is less noticeable while they wear it because there is more sound to listen to. If tinnitus is your main concern, talk to a hearing professional first.

How fast does it arrive?

Orders ship from New Jersey. Allow 1 to 2 business days for processing and 1 to 3 for delivery, so usually 2 to 5 business days in total.
