Eargo Inc.

Eargo Inc. is a direct-to-consumer hearing aid manufacturer founded in 2010 and headquartered in San Jose, California. The company designs, manufactures, and sells completely-in-the-canal (CIC) hearing aids that emphasize discretion, comfort, and user autonomy. Eargo's current product line includes the Eargo 8, Eargo SE, and Link by Eargo models, featuring rechargeable batteries, Bluetooth connectivity (select models), adjustable noise reduction, automatic sound environment detection, and app-based personalization. All Eargo hearing aids are FDA-regulated medical devices subject to manufacturer registration, device listing, and FDA standards for performance, manufacturing, labeling, and safety—distinguishing them from over-the-counter sound amplifiers (PSAPs). The company offers self-fit capabilities allowing consumers to personalize devices from home, a 45-day return policy, up to two years warranty, and lifetime professional support. Eargo delivers a complete hearing wellness experience including free hearing screenings, guided video support for setup and maintenance, free phone consultations with hearing professionals, and ongoing customer support. The product line has evolved since 2010 from the original design inspired by fly-fishing lure fibers to modern devices with advanced features such as Sound Match (introduced 2021), Sound Adjust and Sound Adjust+ (2022–2023), and device self-check functionality (2025). The company markets primarily to consumers seeking discreet, accessible hearing aids without traditional hearing aid retailer visits, targeting mild to moderate hearing loss populations. Eargo holds multiple consumer awards including BBB, Google, and Consumer Reports recognition.
