Key Takeaways
- Some OTC hearing aid brands offer 100-day trial periods, giving you ample time to test their effectiveness.
- These trial periods require one to invest in the aids; they are not free of charge.
- Users not satisfied after the trial period can return the aids for a refund.
- These trial periods offer a risk-free way to assess the device’s performance in various conditions and how comfortable they are when worn.
Why is a 100-Day Trial Period Important When Selecting Your OTC Hearing Aids?
The trial period is a great opportunity to test the hearing aids in various environments to see how they perform. Our ears take time before they adjust to the new sounds they're receiving, so a 100-day trial period is more than enough for you to make a decision if you want to keep your device or send them back for a refund.

OTC Hearing Aids with a 100-Day Trial Period
The truth is that not many brands offer a generous 100-day trial period. Most just give potential buyers 30-45 days to try a device with the promise of a refund.
These two brands give you more than that:
Jabra
Jabra Hearing is a Minnesota-based company under the audio equipment manufacturer GN Group. The company is known for its Enhance Select series, which starts at $995 and comes standard with Bluetooth and rechargeable batteries.
You can try any Jabra device for 100 days risk-free. Options to extend the product's warranty to up to three years are also available—for a fee, of course.

Audicus
The Omni Series 2 by Audicus was named CNET's "best overall" hearing aids this year, but if you're still not convinced, you can try them risk-free for 100 days. At $949 per ear, the Omni is not the most budget-friendly device around, so that trial period will really come in handy.

Gratitude Protocol
Gratitude Protocol is a US-based family-owned business, which manufactures the GP Muse Rechargeable Hearing Aid line. Its mission is to provide Americans with an extremely affordable device that doesn't scrimp on essential features like rechargeability--and they seemed to succeed with the GP Muse, which only costs $197.00 for a pair of aids that you can also try risk-free for within a hundred days.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What Makes a 100-Day Trial Period Beneficial for OTC Hearing Aids Users?
A 100-day trial period gives you enough time for a thorough assessment in various listening environments—and the time you need to adjust to the hearing aids, which can sometimes take several weeks.
Are There Any Hidden Costs with OTC Hearing Aids Trials?
Most companies offering 100-day trials on OTC hearing aids do so without hidden fees. But do read the terms and conditions and look out for restocking fees or non-refundable deposits.
How Do I Determine the Hearing Aids’ Effectiveness During the Trial Period?
To determine the effectiveness of your OTC hearing aids during the trial, consider the following:
- Are you asking people to repeat themselves less frequently?
- Can you follow conversations in noisy environments better?
- Are you able to enjoy television or music at lower volumes?
You can also document instances where the hearing aids improved your hearing or any challenges you encountered for a clear picture of their performance.
Ideally, you should experience a noticeable improvement in understanding speech and the richness of sounds around you. If you're not seeing these changes, reach out to the manufacturer for support or consider trying a different model.
Can I Extend the Trial Period if Needed?
Extension of the trial period depends on the company's policy—some may offer extensions under certain circumstances. If you feel you need more time, you can always contact customer service and discuss your options.
What Should I Do if I'm Not Satisfied with My OTC Hearing Aids After the Trial Period?
If you're not satisfied with your OTC hearing aids after the trial, the first step is to contact the manufacturer and inform them about your concerns and experiences. Many companies will offer a full refund or exchange for a different model.
Communicate openly and give them the chance to address your needs.
Does NANO Offer a Trial Period?
Yes, NANO offers a trial period with a money-back guarantee. All devices also come with a one-year manufacturer warranty.
