Embrace Hearing is a hearing aids company that offers options for customers with mild to severe and profound hearing loss. The company sources its products directly from two of the top European manufacturers and is thus able to offer them at less than half of the price you might find elsewhere. 

The company was founded in 2011 and has been ranked the #1 highest-rated hearing aid company by Consumer Affairs for the past three years (2018, 2019, and 2020). Its current CEO Tim Wright has plenty of experience in the consumer healthcare industry.

The Good

  • Custom Programming
  • Design Options
  • Affordability
  • Customer Service
  • Trial and Warranty
  • Ships Internationally

Custom Programming

While some online companies offer products that come "pre-fitted" with a generic hearing profile, Embrace Hearing’s high-performance hearing aids are custom programmed by its audiologists to meet the precise needs of your hearing test. You can provide a test from a local audiologist or do an online test on Embrace Hearing's website.

Design Options

Embrace Hearing’s devices are designed to be discreet and easy to use, with the most recent software available. They are custom programmed by the company’s U.S. board-certified audiologists, so you can trust that the devices are correctly programmed, reliable, and sturdy.

The company’s website says that its "behind-the-ear" A and X series are the most comfortable for most users, but its "completely-in-canal" C Series is almost invisible. The X-Series includes Bluetooth to connect to your phone and comes in both rechargeable and regular battery options. If you regularly wear face masks, hard-hats, hearing protection, stethoscopes, and/or large rimmed eye-glasses, then the C Series is also a good option for you.

Affordability

Because Embrace Hearing buys its products directly from leading European manufacturers and then sells them online, the company is able to price them at a more affordable cost to you as the consumer. 

The company also sells only a limited selection of devices that are proven to meet its high standards of performance, so it doesn’t spend unnecessary money on lower-quality inventory.

Customer Service

Embrace Hearing offers a number of helpful services to its customers. One such service is its 24/7 toll free customer hotline that is available for any questions or concerns you may encounter with its products or services. There are also many helpful maintenance videos on the company's website.

In addition to its refund and warranty policies, Embrace Hearing offers lifetime access to professional audiologists and other experienced customer support representatives. Its repair process (if necessary) is quite simple, and your product will be returned to you within 48 hours if you end up having to send it in for a major repair.

Plus, Embrace Hearing’s website has a number of instructional videos and answered FAQs for your reference, in hopes that you will be able to solve many of your own questions and concerns without having to spend the money for simple repairs.

Trial and Warranty

Embrace Hearing offers a 45-day free trial where you can try out your new hearing aids, and if necessary, you can return them for a full refund. There are no restocking or programming charges — Embrace Hearing refunds 100 percent of what you paid within 24 hours of receiving your return.

After the trial period has expired, Embrace Hearing’s warranty is three years for its C and X Series, and two years for its A Series. During this time, manufacturer defects and replacements for rechargeable batteries and worn-out receivers are covered at no cost to you.

Once your warranty has expired, repairs and replacements may no longer be free, but the company offers a lifetime support from its professional audiologists that you can contact at any time with questions or concerns.

Ships Internationally

Embrace Hearing ships to Canada and most countries around the world.

The Bad

  • Hearing Test Required

Hearing Test Required

Some of Embrace Hearing’s competitors do not require you to have completed a hearing test before purchasing their products, but this is a requirement with Embrace Hearing. This is because Embrace Hearing's hearing aids are custom programmed by audiologists to meet the precise needs of your personal hearing loss. However, Embrace Hearing does offer a free online test on its website.

The Bottom Line

Embrace Hearing is a top-rated hearing aids brand with custom programming, affordable prices, and reliably designed products. If you have completed a hearing test, you can get in touch with one of the company’s audiologists today and find the perfect fit for your needs.

Mark G.

I am very happy with my purchase. I have been unable to test my hearing aids in a public setting due to the pandemic. I am semi retired and have been working from home exclusively. I am tempted but unable to provide a 5 star review due to the limited public exposure. I can provide a solid 5 stars on the Bluetooth telephone feature. I previously struggled hearing on the phone and I can now hear extremely well.

I replaced my former hearing aids so I could have Bluetooth connectivity and I'm happy with the overall functionality of these. I think the design of the battery door could be better (I liked the design of my old Moxi hearing aid best.) I also wish the case was textured so that it would be easier to hold onto. The smooth case is too slick/slippery.

Overall I really like how well they work for me. The blue tooth technology needs a little more tweaking for phone calls. Works well with music and videos.
