Elehear Alpha Pro OTC Hearing Aids Review: Elevating Everyday Sound Quality with Customizable, High-Tech Features

When Judie, my mother-in-law, asked me to check out the Elehear Alpha Pro Over the Counter (OTC) hearing aids she had received, I wasn’t sure what to expect. Thanks to the doctors who fixed my ears when I was younger, I have always had better-than-average hearing. After decades of shooting sports, hunting, working around heavy equipment, and a couple of years being deployed, I still have normal hearing, more or less. However, I tested them and came to a surprising conclusion: Even though I can hear relatively well, I had no clue I was missing out on so much!

GrandPad Review: Stay in Touch with Loved Ones No Matter Their Tech-Savvyness

Technology has made a huge leap forward in the intervening 20 years, and now people have significantly more options for keeping in touch with elderly relatives.
