Lexie Hearing, founded in 2020 and headquartered in Boston, has quickly become a recognizable name in the over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid space. Developed by health tech company hearX, Lexie focuses on making hearing care more accessible for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss. Their hearing aids are FDA-cleared, self-fitting, and fully customizable through a companion mobile app that allows users to adjust volume, treble, bass, and environment settings from their smartphone without needing in-person appointments. The company offers three models, including two powered by Bose Ventures, blending advanced acoustic engineering with Lexie’s intuitive software. All devices are sold directly to consumers through major retailers like Best Buy and Walgreens, or online, and come with remote support, environment presets, and flexible power options, including rechargeable and disposable batteries. Lexie stands out with their flexible payment structure, which gives users the choice between a one-time purchase or a monthly subscription. They also offer a 45-day risk-free trial, a one-year warranty, and optional protection plans. While feedback is mixed, praising support and ease of use, but noting occasional app or fit issues, Lexie maintains an A+ BBB rating and continues to grow their reputation as a user-friendly, tech-forward brand. Curious how they compare to traditional options? Read our review.
Luxato was a hearing aid brand founded in 2004, with research and development hubs in Chicago and China, and manufacturing operations based in Malaysia. They developed their own digital signal processing technology and held more than 50 patents related to hearing enhancement. Their product line included a small selection of rechargeable, over-the-counter hearing aids for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss. Luxato’s devices were available in behind-the-ear and receiver-in-canal styles and offered features such as preset listening modes, manual volume controls, and app compatibility on select models. All hearing aids were sold online without a prescription and bundled with portable charging cases and accessories for at-home setup. Pricing ranged from approximately $318 to $799 per pair, and customers could opt for financing during checkout. A 60-day return policy and one-year limited warranty were included with most purchases. However, their website and digital storefront are no longer accessible, and their operations appear to have ended without formal notice. While the exact cause is unclear, this review was prepared before their shutdown and is intended to serve as a detailed reference for readers researching hearing aid options with similar features or pricing models.
