Audien Hearing Aids Review: Hidden Pros and Cons After 6 Months

Hearing aids from traditional sources often cost thousands of dollars, making them out of reach for many people. Audien has sold over a million pairs by keeping prices low—starting at just $98 per pair. But do these inexpensive over-the-counter devices actually work?

I tested Audien's rechargeable hearing aids for six months to assess their real-world performance, battery life, and daily usability. Trustpilot reviews average 4 out of 5 stars, with many users drawn to the low cost and straightforward operation. Understanding how different Audien models perform in various situations will help you figure out if they're right for your hearing.

This review focuses on the Audien Atom Pro 2, a rechargeable over-the-counter hearing aid that sits inside the ear canal. Despite its small size, it delivers 24-hour battery life—uncommon for budget hearing aids, which usually sacrifice power for price.

You'll find details on comfort, sound quality, frequent complaints, and how Audien stacks up against competitors. By the end, you'll know whether Audien's budget option makes sense for you.

• What is Audien and who is it for?
  • Overview of Audien as a brand
  • Arthur Garber founded Audien Hearing in 2016 to help his grandmother find affordable hearing aids. Traditional prescription models often cost $5,000 per pair, leaving about 80% of people unable to afford them. Audien set out to change that.
  • Audien is a direct-to-consumer company that manufactures FDA-compliant hearing aids in-house and ships them straight to customers. Since its founding, it has sold over half a million units of its original ATOM and BTE series. By skipping doctor visits, office overhead, and prescription markups, Audien keeps prices up to 90% lower than traditional hearing aids.
• In 2023, Audien expanded into retail. Walmart launched the ATOM ONE as the first FDA-compliant hearing aid available over-the-counter in-store for under $100. Audien later announced availability in nearly 2,000 Walgreens locations, growing to over 4,400 stores by mid-November. The brand is now led by co-founders Dylan Garber and Zack Hubbard alongside the original founder, positioning itself as an FDA-registered over-the-counter hearing aid company rather than a simple sound amplifier.
  • Target audience: mild to moderate hearing loss
  • Audien hearing aids suit adults with mild to moderate hearing loss. The FDA defines this level as trouble hearing speech in noisy rooms, difficulty following group conversations, fatigue after listening, and needing the TV louder than others prefer.
  • These devices work best for budget-conscious buyers who don't need smartphone apps or Bluetooth (except in newer models). Audien's products fit:
  • People seeking basic, reliable sound amplification
• Those new to hearing aids
  • Anyone wanting nearly invisible devices
  • Users who value simplicity over advanced customization
  • Many audiologists support over-the-counter hearing aids for early-stage or moderate hearing loss, noting that early intervention can prevent cognitive and social decline.
• Where Audien fits in the OTC market
  • The FDA's over-the-counter hearing aid category has opened access for millions of Americans seeking affordable options. Audien is among the cheapest, starting at $98 per pair. Compare that to an average of $4,600 for traditional prescription hearing aids.
  • Audien prioritizes affordability, accessibility, and simplicity. Most models skip advanced features like Bluetooth and smartphone apps (the Atom X and Ion Pro are exceptions), which keeps prices down.
  • The company occupies the "budget essentials" space: basic functions to improve hearing, no extras. Audien's website states: "We don't have all the bells and whistles of $5,000 hearing aids, but we provide what you need to improve your hearing. And we cost 95% less."
• Audien is the top-selling over-the-counter hearing aid brand, serving over 1 million online customers. Its products suit those seeking simple, discreet amplification at entry-level prices, especially people who value affordability over advanced customization.
  • Audien hearing aid models explained
  • Audien offers six hearing aid models at different price points and designs. As you move up in price, you get more technical features, letting you choose what fits your needs and budget.
  • Audien Atom vs Atom 2: Entry-level options
• The Audien Atom is the cheapest option at $98 per pair. This basic in-ear model delivers 24-hour battery life with wireless charging but lacks advanced features. The original Atom uses a simple on/off switch and requires a screwdriver to adjust the volume dial—potentially difficult if you have dexterity concerns.
  • The Atom 2 ($189 per pair) improves on the original. It includes Audien's A2 sound chip for clearer audio and less background noise, plus four hearing modes (Conversation, Noisy Environment, Vehicle, and Outdoor) instead of one. The Atom 2 is 28% smaller than its predecessor, keeps the 24-hour battery, and adds convenient button controls.
  • Audien Atom Pro 2: Mid-tier with UV case
  • The Atom Pro 2 ($289 per pair) is Audien's mid-range option with several practical upgrades. It includes the Atom 2's four hearing modes plus background noise cancellation and improved feedback prevention. The standout feature is a portable charging case with built-in UV sanitization that kills up to 99.9% of bacteria.
• The Atom Pro 2 is 15% smaller than the Atom 2 and maintains a discreet in-ear design. The rechargeable case holds up to four days of charges, useful for travel. Lab testing showed mixed results: strong feedback handling and good occlusion management, but weak performance on speech clarity in quiet and noisy environments.
  • Audien Atom X: Touchscreen and Bluetooth
  • Released in September 2025, the Atom X ($389) represents a major step forward for Audien. It's the world's first touchscreen-controlled hearing aid, letting you adjust volume, switch between four listening modes (Comfort, Conversation, Crowd, and TV), and manage Bluetooth directly from the charging case.
  • CaseControl™ technology eliminates the need for tiny buttons or smartphone apps, which helps seniors or people with dexterity issues. The Atom X uses the A2™ Max chip for improved sound quality and supports Bluetooth streaming for calls and music, including transparency mode. Battery lasts 12 hours per charge, extending to over 48 hours with the case.
• Audien Ion and Ion Pro: BTE with advanced features
  • For people needing more powerful amplification, Audien offers two behind-the-ear models. The Ion ($489) has the A2 MAX chip, four hearing modes, and directional microphones. The design is compact, even for a behind-the-ear style. Its rechargeable battery lasts 24 hours, with the charging case adding 20 more hours.
  • The Ion Pro ($689) adds Bluetooth and smartphone app control—available only in this model until the Atom X launched. The companion app (Android and Apple) lets you adjust volume, check battery, and select from six personalized hearing profiles created by audiologists. The Ion Pro also streams phone calls directly from your smartphone.
  • 6-month experience with Audien Atom Pro 2
• Six months of testing revealed how the Audien Atom Pro 2 performs in real situations, along with both unexpected strengths and clear limitations worth knowing.
• Comfort and fit over time
• The Atom Pro 2's lightweight design surprised me. The "Comfort+" design lived up to its name—I often forgot I was wearing them. The package includes six ear domes (small, medium, and large sizes) to find your fit.

During 6-8 hours of daily wear, the Atom Pro 2 stayed comfortable without irritation. That said, experiences vary. Some users report the devices working loose after just minutes, causing feedback. The occlusion effect (that boomy, echo sensation when hearing your own voice) affects some depending on ear canal shape.

These small devices need careful handling. The tiny pull tab makes insertion and removal challenging—a real problem for seniors or anyone with dexterity issues. The program buttons are larger than on older Audien models, making them reasonably accessible.

Battery performance and charging habits

The Atom Pro 2 has excellent battery life. These hearing aids last about 24 hours on a charge, impressive for their size. I could use them for three consecutive days without recharging. Some users report losing only one battery indicator light after 6-8 hours of daily use.

The main drawback is charging time: 4-6 hours for a full charge. The portable charging case helps by providing:

UV sanitization that kills up to 99.9% of bacteria while charging

Capacity for up to three additional full charges before needing to plug in

Compact design ideal for travel

The UV sanitization is an unusual feature at this price, addressing hygiene concerns with in-ear devices.

• Durability and wear-and-tear observations
• These devices aren't built for heavy physical use—they lack official water or dust ratings. You need to be careful around moisture. Six months of testing showed the need for caution with sweat, humidity, and light rain.
• The hearing aids feel adequately built but lack the robustness of more expensive models. They work best indoors or in low-activity settings rather than for outdoor adventures or intense physical activities.
• Maintenance is straightforward. The included cleaning brush and wax guard tool make upkeep easy. The charging case's UV sanitization automatically disinfects the devices during charging.

Feedback is a concern. Both devices typically squeal when handled, which could stress internal parts over time. This was more noticeable during testing but didn't significantly affect functionality.

After six months, I found no major failures or performance decline. However, some online reviews mention charging issues appearing early, suggesting inconsistent quality control.

Sound quality and listening modes

A hearing aid's value comes from sound quality, not price. The Audien Atom Pro 2 delivers mixed results. How well it works depends on your listening environment and hearing needs.

Speech clarity in quiet vs noisy environments

The Atom Pro 2 handles basic conversations in quiet settings well. The A2 sound chip offers clearer sound than earlier models, making voices distinct and reducing distortion. Audien reports that 90% of users experienced better hearing in conversations with multiple people, and 84% enjoyed improved TV and radio sound at normal volumes.

Noisy environments are harder for budget devices. Premium hearing aids use sophisticated digital processing to separate speech from background noise. Most Audien models rely on simpler technology. The original Atom series amplifies all sounds equally, which can overwhelm you in noisy spaces. The Atom Pro 2 offers preset listening modes that help but struggle compared to pricier devices that adapt automatically.

The newer Atom X includes more advanced processing with "Crowd Mode" that reduces background noise while keeping speech clear. It enhances high-frequency consonants for easier understanding and filters out distracting sounds.

Effectiveness of background noise cancellation

Background noise performance varies across Audien's models. The Atom Pro 2 advertises noise cancellation that "reduces background noise and eliminates whistling." In moderately noisy settings like restaurants or small gatherings, this works reasonably well, though it doesn't match pricier devices.

For heavy background noise, the company recommends "Mode 4, Outdoor mode," which has the most noise reduction. The device also manages the occlusion effect (hearing your own voice amplified) well.

Newer models improve on this. The Atom X offers better noise reduction with its specialized Crowd Mode. The Ion uses four directional microphones and noise reduction technology for clearer listening in noisy environments.

Switching between listening modes

Current Audien models have four listening modes for different environments. The Atom Pro 2 offers:

Conversation Mode (1 boop): For one-on-one conversations and watching television

Restaurant/Noisy Environment Mode (2 boops): For crowded settings like churches or restaurants

Road/Vehicle Mode (3 boops): For driving or riding as a passenger

Outdoor Mode (4 boops): For parks and walks with maximum background noise reduction

On the Atom Pro 2, changing modes means pressing and holding the volume button until you hear a low-pitched "boop." The number of boops tells you which mode is active. The Atom X simplifies this with its touchscreen case—just tap to switch modes.

These preset modes differ from "self-fitting" hearing aids that customize to your unique hearing profile. Audien's presets offer standardized settings for typical hearing loss but lack true personalization.

Common complaints and limitations

Audien hearing aids are affordable with basic functions. But many user reviews mention the same issues repeatedly, and six months of testing confirmed them. Buyers should understand these limitations before purchasing.

Feedback and squealing issues

Feedback is a frequent problem across most Audien models. These devices squeal when handled, especially during insertion and removal. Audien's manual dedicates significant space to feedback management, showing it's a known issue.

Whistling happens because of:

Volume set too high (especially above level 2)

Pressure on the microphone during handling

Poor seal between ear tip and ear canal

Sound escaping and reentering the microphone

• You can reduce feedback by starting at volume level 1 or 2, avoiding microphone pressure by grasping the device from its sides, and ensuring proper seal with the right ear tip size. Clear ears of excessive wax too, since blockages cause sound to bounce back into the microphone.
• This issue persists across most budget hearing aids, including newer Audien models. Feedback remains one of the most common complaints in user reviews.
• Limited connectivity and app control

Most Audien models lack Bluetooth and smartphone app control. Only the Ion Pro ($689) had these features until the Atom X launched. For other models, this creates practical challenges.

Volume and program adjustments require manual buttons that can be hard to operate. Beep sounds indicate which mode is active, which feels confusing at first.

Advanced customization common in competing devices isn't available without app control. You can't create custom sound profiles or adjust specific frequencies with most Audien models.

Audien sees this as intentional. App-controlled hearing aids can create problems when phone batteries die, phones get forgotten, or Bluetooth drains battery power. App crashes, compatibility issues with phone updates, and reconnection difficulties add complexity that Audien avoids.

Handling challenges for older adults

Audien's small size creates real difficulties for many users, particularly seniors or those with dexterity limitations. Adjusting volume may be hard for people with arthritis or limited finger mobility.

The Atom Pro 2's volume button requires precise pressure and timing to switch modes. With tiny devices, careful microphone placement matters to avoid feedback.

These aren't minor inconveniences for aging users. Many seniors need family help adjusting volume, which undermines the independence hearing aids are meant to provide.

Audien addressed this with the Atom X and its touchscreen charging case. This model eliminates tiny buttons by moving controls to the case. But this solution appears only in their newer, pricier model.

How Audien compares to other budget brands

The affordable hearing aid market is crowded. Comparing Audien to competitors means looking beyond price at features, customer support, and overall value. Independent testing shows real performance differences among budget models that affect how useful they are day-to-day.

Audien vs ELEHEAR Beyond

ELEHEAR Beyond costs $399 per pair and includes more features than similarly-priced Audien models. The difference is clear: ELEHEAR offers app-based adjustments, rechargeable batteries, Bluetooth streaming, and tinnitus masking—features usually found in much pricier devices.

Direct comparison testing shows ELEHEAR Beyond ahead in several areas:

Speech in quiet environments: ELEHEAR 4.3/5 versus Audien 1.5/5

Speech in noisy settings: ELEHEAR 1.7/5 compared to Audien 0.4/5

Audien handles feedback better with 5.0/5 compared to ELEHEAR's 4.5/5. ELEHEAR Beyond works well for people wanting advanced noise reduction, app customization, and long-term comfort.

Audien vs Apple AirPods Pro 2

Apple's AirPods Pro 2 ($249.95) offer FDA-cleared hearing assistance built into wireless earbuds. They're not traditional hearing aids but provide effective amplification for mild to moderate hearing loss.

• Lab testing shows Apple's advantages over Audien:
• Speech clarity in quiet: AirPods 3.8/5 versus Audien Atom Pro 2 0.7/5
• Performance in noisy environments: AirPods 2.6/5 compared to Audien 0.5/5
• Apple's adaptive sound reduces background noise while enhancing speech. But the system requires app use and constant phone connectivity, which may challenge older adults who prefer simple technology.

Audien vs Sony C10 and Lucid Tala

The Sony CRE-C10 is an invisible hearing aid with strong lab performance. A comparison showed Sony significantly ahead of Audien:

Speech in quiet environments: Sony 4.4/5 versus Audien 1.5/5

Speech in noisy settings: Sony 3.1/5 compared to Audien 0.4/5

The Lucid Tala ($1,299.99) earned an "A" SoundGrade compared to the Audien Atom Pro 2's "C." Lucid ranked in the top 10% of over-the-counter devices tested, while Audien was in the bottom 10%.

The performance gap is largest for speech clarity. Lucid scored 4.5/5 for speech in quiet versus Audien's 0.7/5. Audien's feedback handling (5.0/5) beats Lucid's (1.7/5).

Consumer Reports notes substantial variation in sound quality, ease of adjustment, and price across over-the-counter hearing aid types. For absolute affordability, Audien is competitive. Those able to spend more will typically get better performance from these alternatives.
