Audicus hearing aids

Audicus sells over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aids direct to consumers through its website. These devices are intended for adults 18 and over with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss and can be purchased without a prescription, hearing exam, or professional fitting. Audicus partners with manufacturers and offers tele-audiology support alongside its devices.

For what OTC means, how it differs from prescription hearing aids, and who these devices are suited for, see OTC vs. prescription hearing aids. For a broader look at the OTC market and how Audicus compares with other OTC brands, see Best OTC hearing aids 2026.

Audicus's OTC models

Audicus offers five primary models:

• Beam – A premium receiver-in-canal (RIC) model featuring BiCore speech clarity technology and Bluetooth streaming. Audicus markets this as its flagship model for group conversations and challenging listening environments.
• Omni 2 – An advanced RIC model with adaptive noise control and Bluetooth connectivity. Designed for clear speech understanding in noisy situations.
• Spirit 2 – A mid-range RIC model offering reliable all-around performance. Includes Bluetooth streaming and is available in both rechargeable and battery-powered configurations.
• Mini 2 – A completely-in-canal (CIC) model designed for discreet wear. This is Audicus's only in-the-ear option and does not include Bluetooth connectivity.
• Wave 2 – An entry-level RIC model for basic amplification needs. The most affordable option in the Audicus lineup.

All Audicus models are FDA-registered over-the-counter hearing aids. FDA registration means the company and its facility are listed with the FDA; it does not mean the devices themselves are FDA-approved or cleared. OTC hearing aids are regulated under the framework established in 2022.

Who Audicus is for

Audicus targets adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss who are looking for a direct-to-consumer option. The devices are self-fitted, meaning you adjust them yourself rather than working with a hearing care professional in person. Audicus offers lifetime tele-audiology support, which allows remote consultation with licensed specialists as needed.

If you have more than moderate hearing loss, asymmetric loss, or ear anatomy that makes fitting difficult, a prescription hearing aid fitted by a licensed professional is usually the better path. The prescription hearing aid catalog covers the full range of prescription manufacturers.

What you give up with OTC

OTC hearing aids are sold without in-person professional fitting, real-ear measurement, or ongoing clinical support at a physical location. You get a lower price and remote support options, but you also take on the work of determining fit and programming. For people with straightforward mild to moderate loss who are comfortable with self-adjustment and remote support, that trade-off can work well. For more complex cases, it usually does not.

Audicus includes a trial period and warranty with its devices. The company offers a 100-day risk-free trial and a two-year warranty. Check the current terms on the company's website before purchasing, as return windows and coverage vary by model.

Price and where to buy

Audicus hearing aids are sold exclusively through the company's website at audicus.com. Audicus publishes fixed list prices on its site and also offers a leasing program called Audicus Premier.
