Ceretone Fusion is an in-the-ear OTC hearing aid that Ceretone says is designed to resemble earbuds, which helps for people who would rather not look like they wear a hearing device. A single multi-function button switches between four programs (Standard, Restaurant, Outdoor and Music) and sets the volume, and there is no app to learn. Ceretone lists noise reduction, adaptive feedback cancellation and wide dynamic range compression with Knowles components. Battery life is the strongest point: up to 25 hours per charge, 100 hours with the charging case and a 2-hour full charge. It is rated IP54 against dust and water. At the $129.99 sale price it costs less than any amplifier here except the Audien models, and the 100-day trial is the longest on this list. The product page does not state whether that price is for one ear or a pair, so confirm in the cart before you buy.
