In the spirit of deals season, Best Buy is currently hosting a flash sale on a variety of OTC hearing aids. OTC hearing aids, if you’re not familiar, are an accessible and more affordable version of hearing devices meant for medium to mild hearing loss — nothing you’d need a prescription for. We’ve picked out some of the best offers for you. Take a look:
The Go Hearing Go Ultra OTC hearing aids offer up to 20 hours of use per charge, with a convenient charging case you can take with you. They’re Bluetooth-enabled, as well for streaming calls, music, and audio — they pair with Android and iOS devices. Moreover, you get on-device controls for volume adjustments and more with preset listening programs, noise reduction, and personalized product support. Not to mention they are HSA/FSA eligible. This deal saves you $100.

The 312 zinc-air batteries last for four to five days of use. No need to plan around recharging sessions, just replace the batteries as necessary. Telecoil connectivity allows them to connect directly to sound systems out in the world to improve hearing, too, like in local theaters, on public transit, churches, schools, and more.

These self-fitting, receiver-in-canal OTC hearing aids offer full personalization as Lexie Hearing is known for.

Adorned in a grey, as opposed to the common all-black finish on most OTC hearing aids, the Lexie Hearing Lexie B2 Plus are powered by Bose sound. They pair with the intuitive Lexie app to give you unbelievable controls and access. Noise management and directionality controls, on-device volume controls, Bluetooth streaming, and a self-fitting design round out the list of features.

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.
