How to choose which Nano Hearing Aids are right for you

Below is buyers guide specifically for NANO type hearing aids plus 5 easy steps to get them to your door today.

Recently, several news sources tipped NANO as some of the most innovative devices in "Med Tech" where some zoomed-in specifically on hearing aid reviews based on more than 300 specific cases. Does this mean choosing a hearing aid has become easier? Perhaps not because choosing which hearing aids are best suited has always been a challenging task. From the features to prices, to the warranties, the information overload can put a spanner in the works when picking a pair online. On top of this, dealing with topics of hearing aids, in general, is often a sensitive issue. Part of Nano's mission is to restore dignity to those needing hearing aids. Read this guide to Nano's Hearing Aid products to make the choosing process a little bit easier for all.

What is Nano Hearing Aids about?

Nano has a truly inspirational origin story. Wanting to make family dinners easier to hear for his grandmother (and more affordable), Nano's young founder set out on a mission. The hearing aid devices are near invisible, are optimized with the latest hearing aid technology, and fit comfortably in the ear. Since its launch in 2017, Nano Hearing Aids has taken off and become one of America's top-selling hearing aid brands online.

What products does Nano Hearing Aids offer?

Currently, there are a few Nano Hearing Aids products on the market. Nano focuses on and shines in terms of offering high-quality products (rather than a large number of options). This makes choosing your ideal hearing aids that bit easier. We will explore Nano's top four Hearing Aid products which are:

1.X2 Rechargeable

2.Sigma Wireless

3.X2.0 Digital

4.RX2000 Rechargeable

If you are looking for a thorough guide to Nano's latest Hearing Aids as well as the steps to take for ordering one, consider doing a comparison.

A comparison and analysis of Nano's Hearing Aids:

X2 Rechargeable

This comes with a rechargeable battery. Users are given 16 hours of battery life per charge. Of course, this depends on length and frequency of product use.

Hearing nothing but background noise can be extremely frustrating. It makes conversations difficult to follow and distracts from the intended focus. What helps improve the sound quality is for hearing aids to reduce background noise. The X2 Rechargeable features a background noise reduction add-on to improve the clarity and crispness of sounds (as do all of Nano's products).

Nano's products are what are referred to as 'digital hearing aids.' With this technology, a microphone will pick up sounds that are subsequently converted into digital signals. These signals are then interpreted by the computer chip in the hearing aid to ultimately convert it into acoustic sound. Unlike passive protection, the digital sound processor suppresses noise without entirely blocking out speech. This helps improve overall sound quality.

Feedback cancellation technologies have been implemented to lessen feedback noise and high-frequency whistling. It can be an incredible (and painful) shock when feedback builds up to high-frequency whistling in the ear. Naturally, hearing aids users require their hearing aids to cancel feedback to restore clear hearing.

Sound environment settings have been included with all Nano products. This is a particularly useful feature when, for example, you are chatting in the TV room to someone with the TV on. It would be very irritating if your hearing aids focused on the sounds coming from the TV instead of paying attention to the person with whom you are having a conversation.

A directional microphone has been built into this particular device. Included are two microphones. This is a single microphone to achieve directivity.

This pair also makes use of adaptive technology which is known to improve the hearing quality of many users. This feature bridges the gap between the user and the source of the sound.

The price for this product is $797 per pair.

Did you know that Nano offers discount codes, welcome codes, and more to its customers? If you follow their social pages, you can keep up to date with any special offers, sales, and discounts to help you get your dream Nano Hearing Aid product.

Sigma Wireless

Although the battery is not rechargeable, the A13 battery that is built-in lasts an average of 6 to 14 days. This depends on how often you use the product of course. If you find that you do not require hearing aids too often, you may not have to change the A13 batteries too regularly (still making them an inviting option).

This is the only product offered that comes with a wireless app control feature. You are able to control and adapt settings to your taste easily by controlling your hearing aids on your chosen device. Imagine sitting at a noisy dinner table unable to hear the conversation next to you. Simply whip out your smartphone, log into Nano's system, adjust the settings to correct the issue and enjoy it.

The Sigma Wireless features a background noise reduction add-on to improve the quality of sound.

With this digital hearing aid, a microphone will pick up sounds that are subsequently converted into digital signals. A computer chip in the hearing aid interprets the signals and finally converts it into acoustic sound. Unlike passive protection, the digital sound processor suppresses noise without entirely blocking out speech.

Feedback cancellation technologies have been implemented to lessen feedback noise and high-frequency whistling which can be extremely harsh on the ears.

Sound environment settings have been included with all Nano products. You can set up your Nano product to your liking in order to pick up the environment sounds easy and block out intruding sounds.

A directional microphone has been built into this particular device. Included are two microphones. This is a single microphone to achieve directivity.

This pair also makes use of adaptive technology. This helps improve the user's hearing ability by a considerable amount. You can think of this feature as a link between the user and the source of the sound.

The price for this product is $797 per pair. It falls within Nano's top-priced products.

X2.0 Digital

Although the battery is not rechargeable, the 312 battery lasts an average of 5 days. The battery life can also last between 3-10 days depending on the length of use and with which device the product is paired.

The X2.0 Digital features a background noise reduction feature to improve the overall clarity and quality of the sounds from the hearing aids.

With this digital hearing aid, a microphone will pick up sounds that are subsequently converted into digital signals. Eventually, these signals are converted into acoustic sound which is what enables the user to hear. Unlike passive protection, the digital sound processor suppresses noise without entirely blocking out speech.

Feedback cancellation technologies have been implemented to lessen feedback noise and high-frequency whistling. This whistle can be a shock to its users and damaging in more ways than one. Therefore, implementing this feature is essential for most hearing aid users.

Sound environment settings have been included with all Nano products.

A directional microphone has been built into this particular device. Included are two microphones. This is a single microphone to achieve directivity.

This pair also makes use of adaptive technology which is known to improve the hearing quality of man users. This feature bridges the gap between the user and the source of the sound.

The price for this product is $697 per pair.

Read their creative infographics or watch an informative video tutorial. The options are available to you.

RX2000 Rechargeable

This comes with a rechargeable battery and gives your 16 hours of battery life per charge. Of course, this depends on how often the Nano Hearing Aids are switched on and for how long.

The RX2000 Rechargeable features a background noise reduction add-on to better overall sound quality by filtering out intruding and irrelevant background noises.

With this digital hearing aid, a microphone will pick up sounds (switched to digital signals which are then interpreted by the computer chip in the hearing aid) to ultimately convert it into acoustic sound. The digital sound processor suppresses noise without entirely blocking out speech.

Sound environment settings have been included with all Nano products. This has been recognized as a useful feature among its users.

A directional microphone has not been built into this particular device.

This pair does not make use of adaptive technology. If this feature is important for your needs, Nano suggests investigating their other products.

The price for this product is $397 per pair.

How to know which one is right for you

Our recommended way is to examine the features that each product has to offer and then ask the right questions. For example with the laid out information above, you can begin to investigate which product is ideal for you. We suggest that you make note of what product is recommended to you based on each question. In the end, you can tally up which Nano Hearing Aid product was your result the most times and make your final decision. Questions to ask yourself about the products would be along the lines of:

Battery: Do I need to have hearing aids that are rechargeable? Can I afford a rechargeable product or would I simply prefer it? Do I mind (or can I afford) to change the batteries regularly (depending on use)? Will changing batteries often be an inconvenience for me? If so, then the X2 Rechargeable or RX2000 Rechargeable would be suitable for you. Or perhaps you do not use your hearing aids regularly and changing the batteries when needed will not be an issue for you. It will not become a chore for you. The ideal products of choice for you can be either Sigma Wireless or X2.0 Digital. Why not remind yourself of their other features to help make your decision?

Wireless app control: Can I see myself using this feature? Am I tech savvy with my smartphone? If not, perhaps it will become a frustration rather than a benefit. Can I afford this feature? Is it a feature I am willing to raise my price for? If the answer to most of these questions is 'yes' then the Sigma Wireless is the most suitable option for you. Here is a situation where the wireless app control feature will be useful to users. Can you recognize yourself in this scenario? If so, Sigma Wireless is a great match:

You are at a family dinner celebrating your child's birthday. The atmosphere is warm and happy as squeals from your grandchildren become louder as more birthday cake is consumed. With many attendees, multiple conversations occurring at once, and numerous background noises filling the room, you find you need to adjust your volume setting. You log into Nano's Hearing Aids system and with your personal profile ready and waiting for you, you are able to alter any setting to your preference.

Background noise reduction: Does background normally bother me? Is it an issue for me that I would need the device to reduce it? No item comes without this feature, therefore, all Nano customers benefit from this. When a hearing aid focuses on the wrong sounds, it can be quite irritating. The Nano team wanted to help develop a product that would lessen this issue for its customers.

Digital sound processing: Consider the importance of digital sound processing with digital hearing aids on offer. Is it a quality of hearing that you are alright with lowering a bit? If not, choosing either the X2 Rechargeable or Sigma Wireless or X2.0 Digital would be ideal.

Feedback cancellation: Feedback happens when the amplified sound from the hearing aid is picked up by the hearing aid's microphone and allowed to pass through the hearing aid once again. If the amplification is large enough, this may result in the shuttering high-frequency whistling sound. Nano Hearing Aids has developed three products to combat this issue: X2 Rechargeable, Sigma Wireless, and X2.0 Digital. However, if the feedback is not a concern high up on your list (or perhaps it does not suit your budget) then RX2000 Rechargeable would be suitable for you.

Sound environment settings: Being able to adjust your hearing from room to room needs to be quick and easy. It must not be a hassle. With the ability to change features such as volume control, adapting the sounds of your different environments may be easier when using Nan products. You can ask yourself, "Have I had trouble with my hearing aids adapting to the different environments in the past? Do I need hearing aids that adapt quickly as I change rooms or am I predominantly stationary throughout my day (and therefore do not need it)?" If this feature ranks highly in your books, we suggest looking into Nano's X2 Rechargeable, Sigma Wireless, and X2.0 Digital products.

Directional Microphone: This helps improve the accuracy and clarity of sound. You can find this feature in the X2 Rechargeable, Sigma Wireless, and X2.0 Digital.

Adaptive technology: Hearing aids need to utilize technology that adapts to their surroundings. Nano's Hearing Aid advanced technology provides its customers with high-quality sound. Should this feature not be too important to you, you may be interested in RX2000 Rechargeable.

Price: Nano Hearing Aids has commented that combating the traditionally expensive prices of hearing aids as part of their mission. Nano's most expensive hearing aids are one-twentieth of the traditional price. Depending on your personal budget, Nano's products range from $397 a pair to $797 a pair.

A major benefit of purchasing a Nano Hearing Aid product is that it provides its customers with secure online checkout. Nano makes use of encrypted SSL security to make sure that a customer's information is 100% protected.

The ordering and shipping process

Now that you have decided which product is right for you, it is time to check out and get it delivered to your door. Nano makes the process seamless and quick. When purchasing a Nano product, you will follow these easy 5 steps:

1. Choose your Nano Hearing Aid product by clicking on it. You will be redirected to a page that provides you with further information on the chosen product.

2. Next, you can choose your color. Choices are typically beige or silver. You must also fill out the quantity of the product you would like and finish this step by clicking, "Buy It Now!"

3. You will be shown the final description of your order. Check that the description is to your satisfaction. If not, return and make edits. If it is, then proceed by clicking, "Proceed to Checkout."

4. Proceed to complete fully the "Information, Shipping and Payment" pages. Here you will need to fill in information such as the delivery address, choose a shipping option, and make the payment via one of the offered channels.

5. You are finished! What to do next? Simply wait for it to be delivered and keep an eye on it with "Track My Order."

Tracking your order

Once your order has been placed, it does not simply fall into the abyss. It can be extremely frustrating when (after the transaction is complete) the company seems to disappear from all communication. Nano provides its customers with a "Track My Order" feature to enable customers to keep an eye on their purchases whenever they choose. It has proven to be useful to customers. Simply log on to Nano's website. Click on the "Track My Order" tab. Log in with your email address and/or your order number. And the information will be provided.

Most people will be pleased to know that Nano offers a 45-day money-back guarantee. Should you be dissatisfied with your product, if you return it within 45 days of receiving your Nano purchase, the company may provide you with a full refund.

Shipping

The channels Nano uses to deliver its products to customers are USPS, FedEx, UPS, and possibly other carriers. The general delivery time expectancy is that your Nano product will be delivered between 7-14 days. Nano is known for its reliable and speedy delivery. One happy customer commented, "They were delivered so quickly. I am enjoying them so much!"

Returns and exchanges

Sometimes you think you have found your perfect match when in reality, it does not work. This is a possibility. To help make this process less frustrating, Nano has set out specific guides for returns and exchanges. It should be noted that the company recommends a trial period of 21 days of use. Scientific evidence shows that the brain can take up to three weeks to adjust your hearing sense accordingly to match your new hearing aids.

If all of the set-out return instructions are followed and a refund is due, you can expect to wait up to four weeks after the package is delivered to Nano's warehouse. From there, the Nano team needs to inspect and verify your refund in order to complete your refund request. It should be noted that generally, this will be completed in less than the stated time.

What warranties can customers expect from Nano?

When dealing with a considerable amount of money, having a concrete warranty is a non-negotiable must-have. Nano offers a limited manufacturing warranty which lasts one year starting from the date of purchase. The Nano team cements itself that it offers high-quality products to its customers stating in the warranty that the product, "Shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of one (1) year from the date of purchase."

However, we all know that strange things can happen that cause us to lean on these warranties. Should the request to use the warranty be accepted by Nano (according to their terms and conditions) you can expect the company to either:

1. Repair the product free of charge, using new or reconditioned replacement parts or,

2. Replace the product with a new or reconditioned product.

Final take:

Americans surf the web daily to search for "Costco hearing aid reviews", MD hearing aids, Eargo, Lively, Phonak, and a range of other brands. Always compare hearing aids before making your final purchase and try to treat yourself to a high-quality device for best results.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here.
