"The Delight hearing aids come preconfigured with four additional environmental modes in addition to the default setting, with room for four extra modes you can create yourself. Unfortunately, none of these made any real difference for my overall hearing clarity, no matter what kind of setting I found myself in. Streaming media comes across as fair but largely devoid of bass and unusable in loud environments."
"The app has some interesting extras waiting for the user, including a simple language translator, an environmental noise measuring system, and a remote sound capture system that lets you place your phone in front of an audio source so you can pipe sound directly to your hearing aids from its microphone. Elehear's "Serene" soundscapes can also be used to generate various meditative background noises directly within the hearing aids, with a massive 26 track types available, including Waterfall, Cicadas, and even Cat."
The Delight hearing aids include four preconfigured environmental modes plus space for four user-created modes, but those modes produced no meaningful improvement in hearing clarity across different settings. Streaming audio is fair but largely devoid of bass and becomes unusable in loud environments. The system provided only minimal support even during quiet television viewing and failed in noisy situations where amplified ambient sound overwhelmed conversation. The Elehear app adds extras such as a language translator, environmental noise meter, remote sound capture, and 26 'Serene' soundscape tracks, but the app requires manual reconnection and experienced difficult pairing that required factory resets.
