At Eara, we believe that better hearing should be simple, empowering, and accessible without the hassle of appointments, confusing technology, or unaffordable price tags. That belief is what brought us together; A team of experienced health professionals with a shared mission to close the gap between advanced hearing technology and everyday accessibility.
We saw firsthand how traditional hearing solutions often placed unnecessary barriers between people and the care they needed. High prices, insurance red tape, and frequent trips to audiologist offices made hearing health feel out of reach for many. Even after the FDA approved over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids in 2022, the market quickly filled with low-cost, low-quality products, leaving people frustrated and unsupported.
That’s where Eara comes in.
We launched Eara to do things differently, to offer premium hearing aids that combine cutting-edge Bluetooth technology with the freedom and affordability of an online-only model. By going direct-to-consumer, we cut out the middlemen and pass those savings directly to our customers, without compromising on quality, comfort, or care.
Our Mission
To make hearing health affordable, modern, and accessible through innovative, over-the-counter solutions designed with comfort, clarity, and care in mind.
Our Vision
We envision a world where no one is left out of the conversation due to hearing loss. Our goal is to become a trusted global leader in direct-to-consumer hearing wellness, helping people take control of their hearing on their terms.
Eara isn’t just about hearing aids, it’s about restoring connections, confidence, and quality of life. That’s what drives us every day, and it’s the reason we’re committed to creating hearing solutions that truly make a difference.
Why is Eara the best OTC Hearing Aids provider?
