Over the years, I’ve tested a variety of over-the-counter hearing assistive devices, some actual FDA-approved hearing aids, others so-called personal sound amplification products (PSAP). Until recently, I believed the best relatively low-cost non-prescription over-the-counter hearing aid available was Eargo’s Neo HiFi, which I reviewed 18 months ago. That is until I tested the Neo HiFi’s replacement, the Eargo 5, the fifth-generation hearing aid from the company.
