Audicus model reviews

Mini

What you should know about the Audicus Mini

The Mini is the only completely-in-canal (CIC) model Audicus offers for those with mild to moderate hearing loss. It comes with disposable batteries (size 10), which you will need to replace every five to seven days. For those with dexterity issues, poor vision, or arthritis, frequently changing small and hard-to-handle batteries could be a significant challenge. Even our testers, without any dexterity or vision concerns, struggled slightly when replacing the tiny device’s batteries.

The Mini is the lightest of the four models and has 12 processing channels. It also only comes in one color option: red and blue hearing aids (red for the right ear and blue for the left), which can be helpful for someone with impaired eyesight. If having a discreet hearing aid is a concern for you, this device is still small enough to fit entirely in your ear, so the colors aren’t noticeable.

While this is the only Audicus model without Bluetooth capabilities, it does connect to the Rexton app (via Apple Store and Google Play). When our team clarified with Audicus support how this works, they informed us that the hearing aids communicate with the app via little chirps and beeps, which can be heard when pairing the devices. The hearing aids also connect to a small remote to change the volume and programs (auto, noise/party, music, and outdoors).

Spirit 2

What you should know about the Audicus Spirit 2

Like all Audicus receiver-in-canal options, the Spirit 2 comes with either rechargeable or disposable battery options, with the rechargeable battery costing an additional $50 per hearing aid, or an extra $100 for the pair.

The Spirit 2 is 10% smaller than its predecessor, the Spirit 1, while still offering more memory, quicker scanning technology—thanks to the Series 2 chip—and further improvements in sound quality, environmental adaptation, noise reduction, clarity, and overall performance. It also has 16 processing channels and an option to add telecoil technology. 

Some other notable features in the Spirit 2 are the device’s remote adjustment options and compatibility with the Remote Hearing app. You can connect the Spirit 2 with two Bluetooth devices at once, seamlessly switching via a tap control feature. For example, you can easily switch between streaming a show on your TV and taking a call. The Spirit 2 Series offers a state-of-the-art hearing aid option for under $2,000, and you can choose from four color options: amber, silver, black, and gray.

Omni 2

What you should know about the Audicus Omni 2

The Omni 2 is the newest and most advanced hearing aid offered by Audicus. It’s a RIC-style device designed to treat mild to moderate hearing loss. The Omni 2 offers Bluetooth streaming capabilities and includes enhanced Speech Finder technology. Users can choose a disposable battery or upgrade to a rechargeable battery for $100.

The Omni 2 has two directional microphones and offers telecoil and a tinnitus masker by request. It also includes 20 channels with Speech Finder, four more processing channels than the Spirit 2.

Other Omni 2 features are similar to the Spirit 2. These include connecting two Bluetooth devices to the hearing aids at once with seamless switching thanks to a tap control feature. This new circuit offers larger memory and faster scanning technology for quicker environment detection and an overall sound experience improvement. The Omni 2 is also 10% smaller than the Omni 1.

You can choose from four color options in the Omni 2: amber, silver, black, and gray, and it’s compatible with the Audicus Hearing Remote app.

Wave 2

What you should know about the Audicus Wave 2

At $1,398 for the pair, the Wave 2 is the least expensive Audicus hearing aid model, but it still has many desirable features included with the Spirit 2 and Omni 2. Another RIC device, the Wave 2 treats mild to moderate hearing loss, offers Bluetooth streaming capabilities, and includes enhanced speech-in-noise technology. You can upgrade the Wave 2 to rechargeable batteries for an additional $100.

Audicus describes Wave 2 as best for people with causal lifestyles who enjoy hosting friends and family. At the same time, the more powerful Omni 2 and Spirit 2 are designed for more complex and challenging listening situations. However, it still includes similar functionality, like two Bluetooth pairings at once, auto-optimizing technology to switch between six different environmental settings automatically, and the ability to use the app to customize your hearing experience.

The Wave 2 is available in four colors: amber, silver, black, and gray. You also have the option to add telecoil and tinnitus maskers to the device.

How much do Audicus hearing aids cost?

Audicus hearing aids cost $1,398–$2,498 per pair. The price varies based on a few factors, such as the style: receiver-in-canal (RIC) or completely-canal (CIC), and the battery type: disposable or rechargeable. It also depends on the technology level. For example, the Spirit 2 and Omni 2 have more processing channels and higher prices.

When purchasing Audicus hearing aids, you can select overnight delivery ($60), standard shipping ($4), or free shipping. 

How to save money on Audicus hearing aids

One way to save money on Audicus hearing aids is to opt for the Audicus Premier monthly membership plan. With the plan, you get a new hearing aid replacement every 18 months, an unlimited warranty and unlimited cleaning supplies, and loss and damage insurance are included.

However, the Audicus Premier membership is only available when you purchase the Spirit 2 and Omni 2. The plan comes with a one-time signup fee of $249 and costs $99 per month for the Spirit 2 and $119 per month for the Omni 2. If you opt in to Audicus Premier, you can cancel your monthly subscription at any time.

Audicus hearing aids mobile app

Audicus offers a mobile app that connects with the Spirit and Omni models. The app (Hearing Remote) is on the Apple Store and Google Play, allowing you to make several adjustments to your hearing aids.

Here are a handful of ways to adjust your Audicus hearing aids using the app:

• Control volume, reduce noise, and enhance speech
• Change programs according to your activity, such as watching television or listening to conversations in a restaurant
• Receive remote adjustments from your hearing aid professional
• Adjust the tinnitus masker (if applicable)
• Check the battery charge status

The Mini doesn’t connect with the Hearing Remote app, but it does connect to the Rexton app (Apple Store and Google Play) via little chirps and beeps, which can be heard when pairing the hearing aids.

Audicus also has a customer support center on its website, where you can access frequently asked questions (FAQ), video tutorials, product manuals, supplies and services, and returns and reprogrammings. The FAQ is easy to read and is broken down by the hearing aid model and other common hearing aid questions.

What to look for in the best hearing aids

Determining which hearing aid is best for you depends on aligning the devices’ style and technology with your personal preferences, lifestyle, and hearing needs. You should also consider your budget, hearing loss type, and preferred style.
