I started losing my hearing about 10 years ago and it got worse every year. My doctors prescribed me hearing aids that were very expensive and I couldn't afford them. Luckily, my sister gave me these Atom hearing aids as a birthday present. This was the most emotional gift I have ever received. As soon as I put them on, I was able to hear everything as if I had never lost any hearing. They are comfortable and I love them. Recommended!
