Olive Pro

I am very very grateful to you for your product. For many years I have been looking for a qualyti hearing aid that would look like regular headphones and would not attract additional attention from others. I am not yet 40 years old, and I am complex about hearing problems. In-the-ear devices are very tedious, and you can see them all the same. They are also difficult to maintain and prohibitively expensive. I was willing to pay thousands of dollars for this solution. But I never found a suitable solution in the professional hearing aid environment. I don’t know why manufacturers of hearing aids design their devices with a design emphasis to identify the hearing aid. You gave me a miracle and I cannot get enough of it. Thanks. I love you. I will follow your development. I will be your regular customer. Sorry for my English. I'm from Ukraine.

Let me start by saying I've had these for a while, and I've gone back and forth with CS trying to get them to perform as described. With that being said, they absolutely don't come through on their promises of improving hearing.
I'm 55 and have mild haring loss according to my ENT doctor, so I figured these would be great for watching TV and conversing with my friends in a crowded environment. I can honestly hear better without them in than with them, and this is after the latest firmware update that was supposed to improve performance. I've tried all the settings the CS rep asked me to, and they just don't perform as promised. It seems to me that in spite of noise reduction in the hearing aid mode, the background noises still overpowers voices.
On top of that, listening to music is just meh. They sound decent but, nothing that will impress you.
On a positive note, these do have a premium look and feel to them, and their CS has been quite responsive to my email and tried to help to the best of their ability.

An audiologist confirmed my hearing loss and tried to sell me a hearing aide that cost $6000. I demoed the pair and was very impressed. I could finally hear again. Rechargeable, smartphone, and Bluetooth connectivity! I was very impressed. But $6000! When the Olive Pro came along, I figured I had nothing to lose and figured I'd give them a try. Wow! I just saved almost $6000! The Olive Pro are amazing. Truthfully, they seem to work as well as the audiologist's $6000 pair. They may not be as unobtrusive as the behind the ear pair at the audiologist, but they seem to work as well otherwise, and have all the same features! Thank you, Olive Pro!!! Amazing.

After pairing I did the test and selected pass through and the obnoxious crackling noise in the right ear bud had me taking it out immediately. I tried to manually adjust it with the app but still the same. The left one works ok. Still too much background noise for my liking but infinitely better than the right. Also the touch button feature on both buds only works occasionally. I was really hoping for better quality but this might be what you get as a guinea pig.

I have moderate to profound hearing loss in one ear. I have 3 challenges. 1). I seem to have weirdly shaped ear canals as every single "ear bud" style earphone I have tried will not stay in, not even Apple airpods. For most any movement whatsoever and they fall out. For some they'll stay in as long as I don't exercise or move around a lot. 2). With the hearing loss, even when I have my hearing aid in, in noisy situations, especially restaurants and conferences halls I can't hear people talking. I have even considered getting a hearing aid for my good ear to boost it's ability to hear in those settings. 3). If I use over the ear headphones I get a lot of feedback from my hearing aid. If I listen without the hearing aid, its a pretty mono experience.
So, while Olive Pro did warn me that they aren't for severe hearing loss I decided to try them to see if they at least could help in combination with my hearing aid with hearing with a lot of background noise. So far I am very happy. One, they have different size tips, and they actually stay in my ear even when exercising. While I don't hear well from the ear pod on my bad side, I hear enough to make it a much less "mono" experience when listening to music, and I don't have to deal with uncomfortable over the ear headphones or feedback. And for the situation of not hearing in background noise, with my hearing aid in on one side and the Olive pro on the other it makes a huge difference. I wish they could reduce background noise a bit better, but even without that it makes a huge difference in being able to hear.
One criticism would be sound quality. The sound is a bit tinny, and I wish it had better base. But these are a game changer for me. Thanks Olive Pro
