Surprised. Figured I would be sending these back like others I have had. Think they are keepers. Received hearing aids, gave them a charge and put them on. Went to eat with neighbors, surprised by how well they worked. Only had them a week and I am sure I will keep them. Only one bad experience. Went out to eat at a restaurant that was very noisy. Had to take them out. If I had ear plugs I would of put them in! So far I would recommend you give them a try.

The first thing I noticed was the ability to hear each source of sound individually. The fireplace is to my right and district.
The TV is to my left and again occupied a different range of my aural levels.
Amazing.
They weigh little and are comfortable for long periods of time.
I find it easier to adjust the on/off switch (or program) when the unit is in my hand and not on my ear. Volume is not an issue.
I do wish it had the recharge case as the B10. Storage and charging in one form and not two.
The price is more than reasonable compared to what else is offered.
Overall I consider the mx-ric a good buy with interesting technological touches to make them five stars.

I have worn both cheap and expensive hearing aids for about 4 years. The cheap ones didn't cover the high frequency sounds. Neither did the expensive one. I bought these out of frustration but my expectations were very low. I've only had these for two days but I am hearing sounds that I don't think I've heard for ten years or so. I'm still experimenting with setting, but I think I love them. My audiologist for the single expensive one assured me I would never be able to hear the sounds I'm hearing right now. Surprise!

I bought these for my husband after he tried other inexpensive hearing aids and he has thanked me many times over for the wonderful gift. He said the sound is so clean and he has directional hearing again for the 1st time in years. Other cheap hearing aids had a canned sound and didn't last for more than a few months, since I have a soft speaking voice we both became frustrated with the crappy products available in our budget. I really hope they last.

This product is working really well for my wife. As expected - and as noted by the seller -there is a period of adjustment to the device (usually three weeks or so) while your ears become accustomed to it, and we are just at the start of that period. However, we're really impressed so far:
- The sound amplification is dramatic, and there is little feedback or "screeching". Before using them, she couldn't hear the television when it was turned up as high as possible, and now has asked me to turn the TV volume down since beginning use of the amplifiers.
- The units are easy to place in the ears, and they're very inconspicuous when worn.
- Possibly most important, Neosonic customer service has been highly responsive. I had a question about cleaning the units, and the video they provided didn't answer it. Kevin, the customer service representative, worked with me to resolve it. I wasn't sure how well the seller would support this product after purchase, but I didn't need to be.
Again, we're just beginning to use these, but I'm greatly encouraged by what's happened so far and confident it'll continue.

why would i pay an extra $100. f0r RIC ?

This hearing aid provides as much quality as those that are four times the cost, so far. If they hold up over the years they would truly be a great buy, I always hate having to pay for two when I can only use one, but, who knows, maybe at one point someone can use the one for the right ear. I look forward to using it frequently hoping that it continues to provide excellent service.
