HP Hearing PRO

The HP Hearing PRO is a self-fitting OTC hearing aid branded by Hewlett-Packard and developed and manufactured by Australian audio device maker Nuheara. Now at a reduced price of $499 per pair, the HP Hearing PRO bears a strong resemblance to one of HearingTracker’s favorite hearables, the Nuheara IQbuds2 MAX—a smart, rechargeable, Apple and Android compatible earbud that comes with a great self-fitting app.

Unfortunately, Nuheara ran into financial trouble over payments to a large chip supplier, and it has recently entered voluntary administration. We're waiting to hear how this may affect the future of both of these otherwise very good OTC products.
