Concha Labs has having been doing Free sale hearing aids Since 2017, marketing has only one product: El Concha Sol.
It hearing aid You have a family design, a classic configuration from the back of the ear with a simple rocking control at the back of each. Concha is particularly customized: the Sun has your choice of four colors and can be set up with lead cables of four different sizes, although it should be noted that many competitory hearing aids have lead cables that can be adjusted to the fly and replace them with larger or smaller ones.
At the time of your order, Concha works to convert hearing aids to the size of the ears, skin tone and hair color (if you are lucky enough to have something), maximizing the probability that they will mix and fit properly. I received the gray model with the longest cables available and measured the weight of these devices at 2.03 grams, which is very light for hearing aids behind the ear.
Replaceable batteries
The main reason for this lightweight is the largest disadvantage of the Sun: replaceable batteries. This is a bit of non -arter in the world of current hearing aids, and it is surprising that Concha Labs continues to affect a faded power model that requires the user to slide with a new pair of lowercase batteries every 5 to 7 days. Although replaceable batteries offer a much longer life than even the best rechargeable cells (as well as the lightest weight mentioned), it is still a nuisance that few enjoy. (The latest research I have seen since 2021 showed it 70 percent of hearing aids prefer rechargeable auditory systems.)
If we suppose it is OK with a replaceable battery system, the Concha Sol has many things to them. Begins with tuning. Concha does not use pre -established sound profiles like most OTC aids. Pre -established profiles are previous frequency wave forms based on thousands of historical auditory tests that people have made over the years. These audiograms are promoted and loaded with a handful of audiograms representing hardware. When you take a hearing test in the application, the application finds out which of these audiograms is closest to your and charges the appropriate corrections to the Hearing Hardware. It is not perfect, but for most users it is good enough.
Concha has an auditory test integrated into its application, but it is completely unlike the typical hearing test, where you listen to Pings at different frequencies and volumes until a complete image of your hearing loss is developed. After some initial levels, Concha’s system, called Soundscope, asks you to listen to (with each ear) in speech fragments, and then identify if the sample A or the B sample sounds better. It’s like an eye exam, only for the ears.
