AuraLink · Bluetooth & app
Take the call. Hear the music.

- IP68 protection from sweat, rain and dust
- Up to 16 hours from a 2-hour charge in its specs (another part of the page says 20), plus a UV-sanitizing charging case

Afterpay or Klarna: pay in 4 over 6 weeks interest-free, or monthly for up to 12 months with interest.
Accessories
Keep them fitting and charged
Ear domes and wax guards wear out, and a spare charging case is useful for travel. Each one says which models it fits.
In their words
Back in the conversation
“Now, I can join conversations without asking people to repeat themselves.”

Before you buy
Six things worth knowing first
What we found in the store's policies and small print.
OTC means mild to moderate
Over-the-counter hearing aids are meant for adults 18 and over with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. AuraLink's page describes it as suited to loss up to severe, so if yours feels more than moderate, see an audiologist first.
"FDA-registered" isn't approval
The store describes its devices as FDA-registered. Registration means they're listed with the FDA; it isn't an FDA clearance or approval of the product.
The trial has conditions
The 45 days run from delivery. Contact the store before sending anything, as unauthorised parcels are refused, and expect a short call or video consultation. The parcel must be scanned by the carrier by day 45 with all its packaging and accessories. Damage from impact, water or wax build-up rules out a refund. You pay return postage unless the item arrived damaged or wrong.
Ignore the "compare at" prices
The struck-through prices differ between the store's own pages. Edge shows $2,397 on the home page and $1,599 on its product page, and product pages carry a "24-Hour Flash Sale" label. Judge the price you'll pay.
Phone support is weekdays
Product pages mention 24/7 support online, but the phone line is listed as Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm ET. Outside those hours, use email.
No Hawaii, Alaska or Puerto Rico
Free shipping covers the rest of the US. The warehouse works Monday to Friday, so weekend orders can take a little longer to ship.
Questions
Asked before buying
Which model should I choose?
For calls and music streamed to your ears, AuraLink is the only Bluetooth model of the four. For sweat, rain and outdoor use, Edge is rated IP67. For the least visible fit, Nova sits completely in the canal. For the lowest price and no ear domes, the Sensley S01 is $159 a pair.
Do I need a hearing test first?
Not to buy. The store says you don't need an audiogram, because you set the mode and volume yourself, and AuraLink includes a hearing test in its app. A professional test is still a good idea if you've never had one.
What if they don't fit?
They come with several ear-tip sizes. If none fit, the store says it will send more or help you switch to another model. Replacement dome kits cost $14.99 to $29.99.
Can I buy just one hearing aid?
Yes, for some models. A single left or right Edge is $149, and a single Sensley S01 or S02 without a charging case is $59. Prices on this page are for a pair.
What's the warranty?
A standard 12-month warranty, on top of the 45-day money-back trial. Keep the original packaging during the trial, as returns need it.
Does the PRIME15 code still work?
It was in the store's banner on 6 October 2026, with no end date shown. Codes change with each sale, so enter it at checkout and check the discount before you pay.
