Very unlikely. Core One Pro sits inside the ear canal, not behind the ear. Each one weighs 1.2 grams. Only a thin clear removal thread may show, and only if someone looks for it.

"They're virtually invisible they're so tiny."Verified buyer

If your hearing loss is mild to moderate, it's designed for you. Inside is a hearing-aid chip from Intricon, a U.S. company with 40 years in hearing technology. It brings voices forward, pushes background noise back, and stops whistling. Four programs cover everyday, restaurants, outdoors, and ringing in the ears.

"TV volume went from 35 to 18. Finally, I can hear great."Patricia W., verified buyer

And you don't have to take our word for it: you get 100 days to find out at home.

The most common signs:

• People seem to mumble
• Others say the TV is too loud
• Restaurants turn into a wall of noise
• You ask people to repeat themselves

If two or more sound familiar, a hearing aid may help. If your hearing loss is severe, or came on suddenly, please see a doctor or hearing professional first. We'll tell you that honestly on the phone too.

Fair question. It costs less because of how it's sold, not how it's made. Since 2022, hearing aids for mild to moderate loss can be sold over the counter. We ship direct, so there are no clinic visits and no clinic markup.

"I have paid $3,000 for IIC hearing aids that do not hold a candle to these."Rita G., verified buyer

And if it doesn't impress you, you get a full refund within 100 days.

You don't need to be. There's no app, no smartphone and no pairing. They switch on when you lift them out of the case. The volume button is on the case. You charge the case about once a week.

If you want help, a specialist will walk you through it on the phone, free.

Glasses are no problem: there's nothing behind the ear to get in the way. Four sizes of soft ear tips come in the box, and we'll send free extra tips in the size that fits you best after a quick fit call.

Of course. Here's one honest thought: the 100 days are the thinking time. Instead of guessing from a web page, you'd be deciding at home, with them in your ears, at your own dinner table.
