And why your doctor never told you about it

For decades, the hearing aid industry has operated like a closed club. You lose your hearing. You visit a clinic. You sit through tests that make you feel ancient. Then comes the gut punch: $5,000 to $7,000 for devices that look like something from a hospital supply catalog.
But here's what changed in 2022: The FDA finally approved over-the-counter hearing aids. Translation? You no longer need a prescription, a doctor's visit, or a second mortgage to hear your grandkids again.
Over one million people have already made the switch. Here's why they're never looking back.
reason 1
They Finally Don't Look Like "Old Person" Hearing Aids
The Problem With Traditional Hearing Aids
You've probably seen hearing "amplifiers" on Amazon for $20-$40 and thought, "These can't work." You're right. Cheap amplifiers just make everything louder—including background noise—which can actually harm your hearing over time. They're not medical devices.
The Audien Difference
Audien Atom hearing aids are designed to look like premium earbuds—sleek, black, modern. They nestle completely inside your ear canal. Most people who see them think you're listening to music, not compensating for hearing loss.
One customer said it best: "I wore these to my daughter's wedding. Not a single person knew I had hearing aids in. For the first time in years, I felt like myself again."
The design matters because your dignity matters. You shouldn't have to broadcast your hearing loss to participate in conversations. With Atom, you don't.
reason 2
No Doctor's Appointment. No Prescription. No Being Treated Like a Patient.
What The Old System Put You Through
Remember how it used to work? You'd finally admit you needed help. Then came the parade of humiliation: scheduling appointments weeks out, sitting in waiting rooms surrounded by people decades older, getting talked down to by audiologists who treat you like a child, enduring expensive hearing tests that confirm what you already know.
Then they'd try to upsell you on $7,000 "medical-grade" devices with features you'd never use. The whole experience was designed to make you feel broken, old, and powerless.
Why Audien Changed Everything
Thanks to the FDA's 2022 ruling, you can now buy real hearing aids directly—no prescription, no appointment, no condescending clinic visit. Audien ships to your door in 2-3 days. You open the box, choose your dome size, and you're hearing clearly in under 5 minutes.
One grandfather wrote: "I avoided clinics for three years because I couldn't stomach being treated like a patient. With Audien, I ordered online like a normal purchase. My wife said it's the first time she's seen me excited about hearing aids."
This isn't about cutting corners—it's about cutting out the shame.
reason 3
The Price Doesn't Insult Your Intelligence
The $5,000 Scam Nobody Talks About
Let's address the elephant in the room. Why do prescription hearing aids cost $5,000 to $7,000 per pair? Are they made of gold? Do they cure hearing loss permanently?
No.
You're paying for the audiologist's time, the clinic's overhead, the multi-layered markup system, and the illusion that "medical-grade" automatically means "better." Most of that money never touches the actual device—it funds the bureaucracy around it.
Meanwhile, you're left choosing between your hearing and your savings account.
Audien S Honest Pricing
Audien Atom hearing aids start at $98 per pair. Not $98 per ear. Not $98 plus hidden fees. $98 total.
How? By cutting out clinics, prescriptions, and middlemen. You're buying directly from the people who make them—three grandsons who started this company to help their own grandparents hear again.
The technology inside is the same. The sound quality is the same. The only difference is you're not paying for someone's yacht.
As one retired teacher put it: "I spent $6,200 on prescription aids five years ago. These $98 Audien devices work just as well, if not better. I'm furious it took me this long to find them."
reason 4
They're Stupidly Simple to Use (Even If You "Aren't Tech-Savvy")
The Torture Of Complicated Hearing Aids
You know what traditional hearing aid companies love? Making you feel stupid. Tiny buttons you can't see. Smartphone apps with 47 settings. Bluetooth pairing that requires a master's degree. Volume controls so sensitive that one wrong tap sends feedback screaming through your skull.
They over-engineer these devices, then act surprised when you can't figure them out. It's not you—it's the design.
Audien S No Nonsense Approach
With Audien Atom One, there are no apps, no buttons, no pairing. You charge them overnight in the included case. You put them in your ears in the morning. They work.
With Audien Atom X (the upgraded model), you get the world's first touchscreen built into the case. Want more volume? Tap the screen. Need to switch modes? Tap the screen. Want to take a phone call? Tap the screen. No squinting at tiny buttons. No fumbling with apps.
One 73-year-old wrote: "I'm not good with technology. My kids set up my phone for me. But these? I figured them out in 30 seconds. Finally, something that doesn't make me feel incompetent."
Complicated hearing aids don't make you smarter—they make companies more money on support calls.
reason 5
You Can Hear Your Family Again Without the Stigma
What You Ve Been Missing
This is the part that hurts most, isn't it?
You've been missing punchlines at dinner. Asking people to repeat themselves until they give up and change the subject. Turning the TV so loud your spouse leaves the room. Watching your grandkids' mouths move during FaceTime but only catching half the words.
And the worst part? The look on their faces when you ask "what?" for the third time. That mix of pity and frustration. You see them start to pull away, stop including you, talk around you instead of to you.
Traditional hearing aids were supposed to fix this. But they came with their own stigma—the visible reminder that you're "not what you used to be."
The Relief Audien Customers Feel
With Audien, you get your hearing back and your dignity. You're not broadcasting your age with beige plastic. You're wearing sleek, discreet devices that let you re-enter conversations naturally.
Listen to what one grandmother said: "My grandson called me on FaceTime last week. For the first time in two years, I heard every word. He told me about his soccer game, his new teacher, his favorite dinosaur. I cried after we hung up—not because I was sad, but because I finally felt connected again."
Another customer wrote: "My wife stopped asking me to family dinners because I'd just sit there, smiling and nodding, missing everything. Since getting Audien, I'm back. She said, 'I have my husband back.' That's worth more than any amount of money."
You Deserve to Hear Without Shame
If Audien doesn't work for you—if you don't hear clearer, if they're not comfortable, if you're not thrilled—send them back within 45 days.
You Deserve to Hear Without Shame
Here's what nobody tells you about hearing loss: it's not just about your ears. It's about your identity, your relationships, your place in the world.
Traditional hearing aids forced you to choose between your hearing and your dignity. Audien finally gives you both.

The Questions You're Too Embarrassed to Ask
(But Everyone Wonders)
Will these actually work for MY hearing loss, or am I wasting $98?
Here's the honest answer: Audien Atom hearing aids are designed for mild-to-moderate hearing loss. That's about 85% of people over 60 who struggle to hear.
If you're asking "what?" in conversations, turning up the TV, missing words on phone calls, or struggling in restaurants—Audien will work for you.
If you have severe or profound hearing loss (meaning you can barely hear anything even when people shout), you need prescription hearing aids with custom programming.
But here's the thing: you get 45 days to try them risk-free. If they don't work for your specific hearing loss, send them back. No questions asked. You're out nothing.
Over 1 million people have tried them. Most never send them back.
How are these so cheap? What's the catch?
There's no catch. You're just not being robbed anymore.
Traditional hearing aids cost $5,000-$7,000 because you're paying for:
The audiologist's commission (30-40% of the price)
The clinic's rent and overhead
Multiple middlemen and distributors
The "prescription" system that kept you trapped
Audien cuts out all of that. You buy directly from the manufacturer. No clinic. No middleman. No markup.
The actual technology inside? It costs the same to make whether you buy it for $98 or $6,000. You're just not funding someone else's profit margin anymore.
The FDA's 2022 ruling made this legal. Audien made it possible.
What if they don't fit my ears or feel uncomfortable?
Every Audien order comes with multiple ear dome sizes (small, medium, large). 95% of people find a comfortable fit with one of the three sizes.
If you can wear earbuds, you can wear Audien.
And if for some reason none of the sizes work for you—that's what the 45-day trial is for. Send them back. Get your money back.
But here's what actually happens: Most people say they forget they're wearing them. They're lighter and smaller than traditional hearing aids. No hard plastic shells. No pressure points. Just a soft silicone dome that sits comfortably in your ear canal.
One customer wrote: "I've worn $6,000 prescription hearing aids. These are more comfortable. I can wear them all day without my ears hurting."
What about that whistling/feedback sound I've heard about with hearing aids?
Feedback happens when the seal between the dome and your ear canal isn't tight enough. It's not a defect—it's a fit issue.
Here's how to fix it in 30 seconds:
Try a different dome size (larger usually stops it)
Push the hearing aid slightly deeper into your ear canal
Make sure there's no earwax blocking the seal
If you still get feedback after trying this, Audien's lifetime support team will walk you through it. They've helped thousands of people fix this exact issue.
But most people never experience it once they find the right dome size.
Can I wear these all day, or will the battery die?
Audien Atom One: 16+ hours per charge Audien Atom X: 20+ hours per charge
That's a full day—from the time you wake up until you go to bed—without needing to recharge.
You charge them overnight in the included case (just like wireless earbuds). Takes about 4-6 hours for a full charge.
One user wrote: "I put them in at 7am. I'm still wearing them at 10pm. Battery's still going. I've never had them die on me mid-day.
What if I lose them or they break?
You can order replacements directly from Audien at any time.
And here's the brutal math: if you lose a $98 pair of Audien hearing aids, you're out $98. If you lose a $6,000 pair of prescription hearing aids, you're out $6,000.
Most insurance doesn't cover lost hearing aids—even the expensive ones.
With Audien, you can afford to replace them if something happens. With prescription aids, you're gambling $6,000 every time you leave the house.
Do I need to see a doctor first, or is this safe?
The FDA approved over-the-counter hearing aids in 2022 specifically for adults with mild-to-moderate hearing loss. You do not need a prescription or doctor's visit.
That said: if you've never had your hearing checked, or if you have sudden hearing loss in one ear, pain, or dizziness—see a doctor first to rule out medical issues.
But if you're like most people over 65 and your hearing has gradually gotten worse over the years—you don't need permission from a doctor to buy Audien. It's legal, safe, and FDA-registered.
What if my spouse/kids bought these for me and I don't want to admit I need them?
We get it. Someone who loves you sent you here because they're tired of repeating themselves—and you're pissed because it feels like they're calling you old.
Here's the truth: They're not calling you old. They're trying to get you back.
They miss you. They miss having real conversations with you. They miss you being present at family dinners instead of silently nodding along, pretending you heard.
Your pride is costing you your relationships. And everyone around you is too polite to say it.
Try them once. Just once. Put them in and call your grandkid. Hear their voice clearly—the tone, the excitement, the little details you've been missing.
If you still don't think you need them after that, fine. Send them back.
But you won't. Because you'll finally hear what you've been missing.
Why haven't I heard about Audien before?
Because the hearing aid industry spent decades making sure you didn't.
Until 2022, they had a legal monopoly. You HAD to go through audiologists. You HAD to pay their prices. They controlled the entire market.
When the FDA legalized over-the-counter hearing aids, it destroyed their business model. So they did what dying industries always do: they tried to bury the competition.
They told their patients that OTC hearing aids "don't work." They lobbied against the FDA ruling. They spread fear about "cheap devices that damage your hearing."
Meanwhile, over 1 million people have bought Audien. And they're not going back.
You haven't heard about Audien because the people who've been charging you $6,000 don't want you to know there's a $98 alternative.
Now you know.
