Have a little difficulty hearing in crowded spaces? Did you know you can get your hands on OTC hearing aids — over-the-counter hearing aids? You don’t need a prescription and they’re not inordinately expensive, making better hearing more affordable and accessible for everyone. Just to show you I’m not crazy, Audien’s most affordable pair — the ATOM 2 — is only $189 at full price. In comparison, the ATOM PRO 2 is just $100 more, $289 at full price. However, during the 12 Days of Christmas sale, you can sign up with your email to Audien’s newsletter and get up to $200 off.
Look, I’m not going to beat around the bush. What makes this sale so awesome is that you can save big, after sharing your email address with Audien, of course. You can get high-quality OTC earbuds for cheap, whether for yourself or someone else. They do make a really great gift for someone who has trouble hearing.
Give the gift of hearing this holiday season. It has a nice ring to it, doesn’t it? Don’t forget, that Audien did appear in our guide covering the best over-the-counter hearing aids.
Audien OTC hearing aids are varied:
Every model offers multiple listening modes, adheres to varying hearing loss levels, and offers extended battery life — up to 24 hours. Optional features like a portable charging case, UV cleaning, and background noise cancelation are available in some of the more expensive options. Be sure to review the features of each so you choose the right one.
New offers will also be available throughout the event, so be sure to check back regularly to see what kind of discounts you can score. Everyone deserves the joy of hearing during the holidays. Now’s our chance to make sure that happens.
Instagram is making its way to yet another screen, and this time, Apple TV is getting a taste of the Reels rabbit hole. The company has launched a dedicated Instagram app for Apple TV, bringing Reels, longer videos, and live shows to the big screen. So, if watching one quick clip on a phone somehow turns into an hour of scrolling, there's now a much larger screen for that.

Audio-Technica, a brand well known for making some of the best studio and professional headphones on the market, has just come out with the ATH-AWX7000, which the company itself claims to be its "finest headphones ever." The new flagship closed-back headphone has debuted at an eye-watering price of $3,799. It combines hand-finished Japanese woodwork with a newly developed 58mm driver.
The earcups are made from Kiso cypress, a prized wood historically used for Shinto shrines and Buddhist temples. Each housing is finished by hand with traditional Echizen lacquer, which brings out the grain and is expected to darken over time. The frame and sliders are finished in a deep navy kachi-iro shade traditionally associated with samurai.
