Oticon Zeal hearing aids offer excellent sound quality and smartphone connectivity in an ultra-compact design, but their tiny size makes them tricky to handle
Oticon Zeal Review: Omaha: I tested these tiny hearing aids for several days. The Oticon Zeal hearing aids surprised me with how well they worked despite their small size.
The sound quality while streaming music and phone calls was better than I expected. The app is very easy to use and lets me adjust the sound with a three-bar equalizer. I could also use my phone to find the hearing aids if I lost them.
These hearing aids are extremely small and hard to put in and take out of my ears. You have to twist them in just right, which can be frustrating. People with hand problems might find them very difficult to use.
They don’t block much noise, so they won’t help much on airplanes or in noisy gyms. The batteries lasted all day during my testing. While they cost more than many other hearing aids, the compact size makes them worth considering if you want barely visible hearing aids.
