Elehear Beyond AI-Powered OTC Hearing Aids review – Hearing assistance at an accessible price

EBHA 01

REVIEW – A little over a year ago I reviewed the Alpha Pro, an Over-The-Counter hearing aid from Elehear. At the time, OTC hearing aids were still pretty new and the Alpha Pro at $999 was up to 5x less expensive than hearing aids bought through the traditional audiologist route. A lot has changed in […]

NSOM 09

REVIEW – Your phone is likely the last thing you use before going to bed and one of the first things you check after waking up. A good bedside charger is a must have. If you’re also running an Apple Watch and AirPods; well you’re going to want a 3-in-1 charger to keep things simple.
