I'm giving these a 5 star because they are a great value for the price. But if these were the expensive programmed type that cost $1600 at Costco, I'd give them a maybe 2 stars.
Cheap hearing aids leave a lot to be desired, but they have an important place for the hard of hearing who can't afford $1600 for even the 'cheap' Costco ones. I look at them like my Dollar Store reading glasses...I always keep several pair on hand, because I always lose them.
Pros:
If you put the rubber earpiece on as far as it will go, and remember to turn down the volume before putting them on, the aids don't whistle.
Sturdy and they don't look at all like cheap pieces of junk, like the $57 (for one hearing aid) Britzgo I bought.
They amplify sound well and have a variable volume control all the way from nothing to LOUD.
They aren't huge and they are pretty unobtrusive.
There are different size earbuds for different size ear canals.
They are pretty comfortable (but do take a bit getting used to, build up a bit at a time until you can wear them all day).
It’s easy to learn how to put them in, just needs a bit of practice at first.
Cons:
They are still bigger than my old Costco aids. (But I bet this would make them easier to handle for people with tremors)
While they amplify sound well, they amplify ALL sound. I can hear all the background sounds just fine, but I still have problems hearing voices, because these can’t be programmed to match the sound frequency I need to have amplified.
I don’t know where the decibel cut of is for the ‘noise reduction’ feature is…when someone yells, or the phone rings in my ear, it sure seems awful loud!
The description of the aids say, ‘…unique noise reduction feature and digital circuitry and control which means you have total control over what you hear and what you don’t.’ This is kind of misleading because you only have control over how quiet or how loud the sound is, there is no ‘total’ control, not when we can’t filter out high or low sounds.
Other items:
I hope the price on these don’t go up too much more, I bought mine for $15.99 and a week or two later they are almost $20 (which is still an excellent price, especially for 2 of them). I assume I got them at an introductory price. By the way, I bought two sets of them, right off the bat, even though there weren’t any reviews yet, but I figured they couldn’t be any worse than the stupid Britzgo I bought and I was tired of going ‘huh?’ all the time.
I don’t know anything about the battery life yet, I haven’t worn them long enough. EDIT 3/29/18: The battery life is pretty bad, I can get maybe a day and a half out of them. The battery just kind of runs out and I have to turn up the volume until I need to change out the battery. I'm still giving these a 5 star though, because over all, they are still a good deal for the price.
Overall: I can hear a lot better with these aids than without them. They’re not perfect, but they sure are great for the price. Buy a few pairs of them, if you lose things like I do.

Good sound but weird static/background noise
These are my first ever hearing aids so I wasn't sure what to expect but I did notice this weird static kind of sound and background noise but I can hear clearer which is really nice.
