back to Specsaver a few times. Last visit was begining sep.26 .> I don't want to use wifi and set it for me please. Which was done. In the small room it was resonable...but at home no good. In Oct.26 I have another 1 yearly check up. I guess paid by the Gov. I should have read Reviews before.....Not recomment to purchase these, they are no good ( in my Opinion) Hearing Aids. I'm watching TV now with undertitels, like other people I know

The hearing amplifier definitely makes things louder but there is an audibe background buzz when they are in use. I bought them to use at work. I… Read more

work in a noisy environment but the background buzz is too intrusive for comfortable use. I probably won't use them.

I knew I was losing my hearing but I have it all back with these excellent tiny aids. My opinion after reading all the reviews is it very much… Read more

depends on the audiologist. Jody Africa at Bairnsdale is an exceptionally helpful guy, very good manner and explained everything to an id*ot like me in a way I could understand. The aids are tuned precisely to where my hearing loss occurs. After only a couple of weeks i still can hardly credit the improvement. If you get Jody, you will be happy. If your Specsavers aren't doing the right thing - try elsewhere.

Exspensive Hearing aid businesses are finnished – Cheap Chinese made invisible hearing aids that rival the one I got that cost multi thousands. All of these hearing aid companies that sprang up using… Read more

well intentioned government subsidies for hearing aids , those days are over for that business model if the word gets out about these. Now to state clearly, this hearing aid cost about $30. Next let me be clear, this hearing aid has 1 type of sound that does distort, that sound being in the range of jingling coins or keys and the like. And very occasionally a very low electro interference from unidentified source, almost inaudible, though i have noticed it, however it's nothing really and very occasionally depending on location. That's it for the down sides. Been wearing for 1 month, get 5 days+ per size 10 battery. Nothing hanging over my ear, nothing to worry about getting wet in rain or sweat, nothing getting caught up in my glasses. No more problems with using phones or headphones. No more getting new tubes or ear domes that you need to store. Everyday sounds come through just as good sometimes better than my expensive thousands of dollars one. No more fronting up for a review from the audiologist no more co-payments for batteries. I just simply buy my own batteries from chemist warehouse or any number of places or even online. These hearing aids are so cheap I bought a few so have spares, at these prices why not? No more waiting days or weeks for repairs, just pop in a new one. If one only last a year, which is the warranty, it's only $30 a year even if that is the case. Can adjust the volume yourself easily without hassle, no one even notices my hearing aid anymore. Wear a motorcycle helmet without feedback or worry of it falling off everytime you remove your helmet. Will never be going back to those bricks you hang over your ear that get tangled with everything, not to mention cost thousands, If your not worried about the cons I mentioned, then do yourself a favour, buy them. Or at the least try them, at that cost what have you got to lose really. As a final note, these do come in a rechargeable model, however having tried them the battery life is up to 1 day at best. Purchase on aliexpress app.

I bought these hearing aids after seeing lots of positive reviews, but I found them terrible. First of all, they should be called hearing… Read more

amplifiers not hearing aids. All they do is amplify everything. So in a noisy environment you just hear lots of noise. As well, I think they are analogue rather than digital because sound quality was fuzzy and poor. There are several settings on the AIDS but they don't seem to make much difference, whichever one you use. Battery life is terrible. I would be lucky to get 2 days out of batteries. I compare them with base model Widex hearing aids which are nott much more expensive, but the comparison is dramatic. And the widex hearing aids are tuned to your ears by an audiologist which makes a huge difference. The pocket aid amplifiers were so bad I ended up throwing them away. Don't believe all the hype about them being better than some hearing aids costing up to $6,000. You can find similar products on Amazon for less than $150.

Wanted to give no stars. When you click on Ausania's tracking link: 'site can't be reached'. Contacted CBA & got full refund. Steer clear!

Very disappointing. These were much cheaper than my previous hearlng aids, but recommended by my Audiologist. They amplify sound but the sound… Read more

quality (especially speech) is very poor. I have had them adjusted by my audiologist but still frustrating that I can hear people talking 1-2 metres away but can't hear what they are actually saying! Edited to say mine are not rechargeable but that was my choice.

amplifying anything . There is absolutely no way to contact them, no email address, Contact Us link gets you nowhere , they just refuse to provide any warranty for a new item that was dead on arrival, no refund and no replacement . Be very careful if the price tempts you to purchase from them , from my experience it is a complete scam .

Didn't last long – Earsmate E16 Review So, after about 6 weeks one of them no longer connects to Bluetooth. I've left the original review, in case you're interested. … Read more

I was a bit worried about getting a cheap pair of off the shelf hearing aids. My last pair cost $6,000 in 2019 and these cost $189 in January 2025. I needn’t have worried as far as I can tell up to now. I bought them from a very helpful ebay seller called cherryout069.

I really like that I am now responsible for my own hearing aids and that I can carry out hearing tests at home and then let the app adjust the hearing aids. My ears need to be tested fairly often these days because my hearing is deteriorating quite quickly.

The app is free, or included in the price, and I installed it before I ordered these hearing aids so I could check it out first. It looked professional and comprehensive.

The hearing aids are comfortable after trying a couple of pairs of domes. Even before I did a hearing test and adjusted them they were very good. After connecting them to bluetooth, I tried the app. It was pretty easy to connect and use. When I had done the hearing tests and ‘used’ (applied) the results, things were even better.

Noise cancelling/reduction is better than any other in-ear device I have tried, including my latest earbuds.

They are still new so I can’t report on how well they will last. They claim to have a life of three years, which seems a bit short, but my expensive ones are considered worn out after five years.

Any bad things? Well, the charging case doesn’t show how much charge is left in either the charger/case or the hearing aids. The app refuses to show the charge in the hearing aids, but my phone shows that in the bluetooth notification, if I have them connected. Like any in-ear devices, I find them a bit fiddly to handle.

I just need to add that the seller and manufacturer were not at all helpful after I'd bought them.

Cheap product doesn’t live up to description – Cheap product sold for a fraction of the price on Amazon/eBay. It’s like having a child’s walkie talkie in your ear. Poor man pays twice. Next time… Read more

I’ll just go to a proper audiologist. Don’t be fooled by this rubbish site with no hearing provider number listed which is illegal I’ll have you know.

the hassle after almost a year, but they refused my refund request since a return is only possible for 45 days-not nearly long enough to determine the quality.

Chosgo - Disappointing Device and an Even Worse Refund Experience My experience with Chosgo has been one of the most frustrating, misleading, and… Read more

stressful refund processes I’ve ever dealt with. Their latest and greatest SmartU hearing aids were already a major disappointment, but the return process pushed it firmly into “never again” territory.

Poor Product Performance I had been using a basic red/blue hearing aids for about a year that were, affordable at 120AUD, they are reliable, do the job and chargeable batteries last all day. The Chosgo devices were the complete opposite: • Batteries flat after 8 to 10 hours • Constant high pitched squealing • Random feedback • Unstable Bluetooth that only worked if the charging case was held near my mouth • Voice recognition that amplified background noise instead of speech • An app so unstable that fine tuning was nearly impossible The worst discovery was that Bluetooth audio and phone calls only worked if the charging case was held near your face like a walkie talkie. This was never advertised and makes the feature completely impractical. Audio quality was distorted and laggy.

Misleading Purchase Location Chosgo’s advertising strongly implies they are US based. Only after requesting a refund was I told the product had to be returned to China, resulting in international postage costs, customs delays, extra fees, and months of unnecessary stress. Had this been disclosed upfront, I would never have purchased.

Refund Process: A Complete Runaround Their “45 day money back guarantee” was anything but. The process involved: • Five months and still no refund • Slow, repetitive communication • Requests for photos and proof already provided • Pressure to close my PayPal dispute • Attempts to intimidate me into cancelling the case It felt deliberately designed to stall, confuse, and exhaust customers.

Bribery Attempts & Inflated Fees Chosgo even offered incentives for a 5 star review instead of processing the refund, completely inappropriate. When they finally agreed to refund, they advised they would deduct: • $89 AUD “bank handling fee” • $135 AUD “customs clearance fee” Both were unreasonable and clearly inflated. I also paid $38.15 AUD to return the item with full tracking. In total, I would have out-layed approx $265AUD just trying to return a product that didn’t work as advertised.

PayPal Outcome Despite extensive evidence, PayPal decided in favour of Chosgo. We now have no product and a loss of $1,042.15 AUD. We chose PayPal for the buyer protection and learned the hard way that we had no buyer protection with Pay Pal, they failed us completely.

Threats Toward Reviewers Other customers report similar experiences, including waiting seven months with no refund, and even being threatened with slander or libel claims for posting negative reviews. If they attempt the same with me, everything stated here is factual, documented, and supported by evidence provided to PayPal.

Final Verdict The product didn’t work. The features were misleading. The return process was deceptive. The fees were inflated. Communication was manipulative. The stress was unnecessary. And the company has a history of threatening unhappy customers. I strongly advise avoiding Chosgo. Their “money back guarantee” is not what they claim — it’s a maze of delays, pressure tactics, and attempts to reduce your refund. A deeply disappointing experience from start to finish.
