Allison interviews Lauren Reynolds from Sony about their new self-fitting, over-the-counter hearing aids. Since these hearing aids do not require an evaluation and fitting from an audiologist, they are much less expensive and are easier to purchase than traditional hearing aids. Sony’s hearing aids come in a couple form factors.
The CRE-C10 self-fitting hearing aids are small enough to be inserted directly into the ear canal so they are very discrete. The C10s are powered by removable hearing aid batteries and provide 80 hours of continuous use.
The CRE-E10 self-fitting hearing aids are similar to regular earbuds and have flexible, removable nibs of various sizes to fit your ear. The E-10s are rechargeable and come with a charging case. A full charge provides 26 hours of continuous use.
Sony provides the free Sony Hearing mobile app available on Android and iOS. The app is used to perform a hearing profile test to adjust your hearing aids according to your profile. You can adjust your hearing aid profile and sensitivity at any time and you can control the volume through the app.
