Lexie B2 Plus Hearing Aids Powered by Bose + Free 6-Month Lexie Club Subscription – Rechargeable, Rechargeable Case, App-Controlled, Self-Fit, Noise Reduction, Bluetooth® for Calls & Streaming (Gray)

This is for the Lexie B2 Plus Powered by Bose hearing aids. I really like them, here is my story: I first purchased expensive hearing aids in 2009 when I had no clue what my soft-spoken female students were saying in my physics class. I have tinnitus and a frequency loss in the area of the female voice frequency range (no joke). I first went to the place that sends you mailers every day, will take you to lunch and will give you a free hearing test. The cost was 4 times what I paid for my first car. I did not purchase from that company; I purchased hearing aids from an Audiologist that said the amplified sound would help with the tinnitus and they cost around $6,000. Because my classroom was warm, sweat appeared in back of my ears and the batteries would short out midday. Teachers do not make a whole lot of money and these hearing aids lasted a couple days after the warranty lapsed. In 2017, I tried the Costco hearing aids they were also fitted by an Audiologist in South Florida for around $1,700 and they were rechargeable. Costco replaced parts but the hearing aids died after I ran out of warranty. In 2020, I attended a service fair for seniors, and they had an Audiologist that said she could beat the Costco price and fix my tinnitus with specially designed hearing aids. The price was good. The first set lasted a week, and they replaced them with a more expensive model. I declined the monthly fee to keep the hearing aids tuned up because I am pretty much an expert at cleaning hearing aids. They lasted until the warranty lapsed. Then at the end of 2025 after aggravating my wife for repeats of what she said and cranking up the TV to the point it vibrated the windows; I realized I had to do something. I had three criteria: · I wanted something rechargeable · I wanted something reasonably priced · I wanted control of ambient noise in the room to make voices clearer. Just like my Boise Quiet Comfort headphones. I read all the reviews, the best products recommended lists. The Lexi hearing aid reviews did not seem very good. But then I realized that the people reviewing had never worn hearing aids before. Hearing aids take some getting used to. And if your loss is more evident you must use the “closed dome” hearing speaker cover in your ear canal. Previous hearing aids did not pull in the full audio spectrum, they just pulled in the frequencies you were missing, so you needed holes in the hearing aid dome (the part that plugs your ear canal) to bring in the regular sound. That is not how the Lexi works. It takes in everything and because it is taking in everything, if you have significant loss you need to plug off your ear canal or it will create feedback, lots of feedback. To top it off they are made with Bose noise cancelling technology, the same as my favorite headphones. Still, I was skeptical, and since I have Amazon Prime, I knew I could return the hearing aids if they did not work. On 02/07/2026 I purchased my pair of Lexi hearing aids. I believe they arrived the next day. I had a little trouble pairing them and I called tech support. A very nice guy helped me pair them (I probably should have read the instructions). Then he said, just follow the prompts in the app (or something like that). I was skeptical still, and he stayed on the line with me while I worked through the app. It was so simple. Then the app gave me the SAME hearing test I had taken so many times with an Audiologist. I think it was a better test because it was through the hearing aids themselves instead of a set of headphones that the audiologist used. That way, how your hearing aid fits in your ear canal could change the results of your test and give you a better result. Then the app told me it was done. No kidding it WORKED. You turn them on and it pays a note. When it starts up, you hear all of the fan noise of computers and other noise; but then, it is gone, and what you hear is clear. Each ear is like that. With the app, you can control the amount of sound, the different modes for different surroundings. Sure, if you are in the car with the window rolled down you can turn off the left hearing aid and you don’t hear the wind noise, or you can change the environment in the app. However, the reality is that the native mode without using the app is just fine. Lessons learned: • Do not attempt to wear them all day on the first day. If you have been without hearing aids for a while, it will wear you out. • Make sure you have a good contact with the hearing aid seated properly in the charger when you place them on charge. I thought I had a problem because it ran out of charge quickly, but it turns out it was not seated in the charger correctly. I would highly recommend the Lexi, they were the least costly hearing aids I have bought and have worked the best.

This is my second pair of Lexie/Bose hearing aides. I have moderate, age related hearing loss. Before Bose introduced my first pair of my Lexie/Bose hearing aides, I had a pair of $6,000 prescription hearing aides. My Lexie/Bose hearing aides are better, last longer, are rechargeable and easier to maintain. My new pair stay paired with my iPhone, connect with incoming calls and the charging case will charge the hearing aides if the power is out or I’m on the road one night without the power cord. The hearing aids are difficult to see in my ears and are so compfortable I forget I’m wearing them.

These are the second brand of hearing aides I've tried. The first ones wouldn't hold a charge for me, but the hearing test was good and I liked them otherwise. The hearing test that came with these was awful. The sounds were way too loud and there was a lot of echo. I could hear my hair when I pushed it back and my glasses when I put them on. I'm wearing them now, after lowering the volume and treble. I'll try wearing them for a day and then decide if they should be returned or kept. I have a feeling that the hearing test I took at the audiologist was incorrect too. I'm never sure if I hear the little beeps or not. I'll update this after wearing these for a day. I'm adding another star. I can hear quite well with these, but I'm frequently turning the volume up and down and sometimes one or the other ear goes mute and I can't unmute it. it might just take more time to figure all of this out, but things are at least progressing. I've had these for less than a year and have downgraded my review. They worked well in the beginning and I didn't wear therm all of the time as I didn't feel I needed them except to watch tv or was out with a large group of people. After about 6 months, they started making weird, noises, mostly swishy sounds. At first this only happened when I was on my phone. I called for support and the person I spoke to was very helpful so I thought the problem was solved. But, a few days later, whenever I put the left one in my ear, as soon as I turned the aide on, the horrible noise started again. I tried several times but it was hopeless. I also had problems at times getting them connected by my phone. Like many other people who gave reviews, I bought them as I've always trusted Bose Speakers, It was a mistake. I wasted 1000 dollars. Btw, a local pharmacy is now selling these for 500 dollars, which makes me think they really never were worth as much as I paid. Don't waste your money. You might be better off buying a really cheap pair of hearing aides for about 100 dollars as they couldn't be more unreliable than these have been for me.

Overall, I am very happy I am using the Lexie B2 Plus all day, every day. I am more engaged with the people around me, and catch a lot more of what is going on. I feel that I made a good selection. After researching why it's important for mental health to get hearing aids when you have moderate hearing problems, and the fact that there is no perfect solution, I was convinced that getting hearing aids would be expensive, inconvenient, imperfect, forking annoying, and... useful. After 10 days of use, I agree on all points. Cons - The feedback problem that people are complaining about in reviews is real. I hear feedback several times a day (when hugging my wife, putting my hands near my ears, etc.). - To problems with comfort are real, specifically the place where the wire goes over your ear and inside the ear where the dome sits. I'm hoping that this is like the pain when you start playing guitar, that I will build up calluses with time. However, that hasn't happened yet. I also had itching from the dome the first few days, but that has gone away. - The problems with unimportant sounds grabbing all your attention is real. Silverware in restaurants, birds in trees when you are trying to hear a conversation, cards being shuffled, etc. can block out the sounds you really want to hear. My understanding after reading on the subject is that the brain will eventually auto-adjust and ignore what is not needed, but that hasn't happened yet, and even if it does not happen, I can live with it. Actually, I tend to laugh at the absurdity when it happens. - Bluetooth can be flakey, but I use a lot of bluetooth devices, and it's about the same as what I see in other devices. Pro - I can hear a lot more conversations, even when in groups. It's nowhere near "normal" levels, but I catch a lot more than I used to catch. - The sound quality is a bit metallic, but 100% acceptable for me. If you want to listen to music, use the music environment settings. For me at least, music was terrible till I did this. - The price of $999, vs. the $9,000 quote that I had for hearing aids here in Spain, is amazing. - I only use the manual mode for the app, and love being able to adjust things on the fly, something that I would not have had the ability to do with the $9,000 hearing aids. Having said that, more precise controls, and controls per ear rather than just overall, would be appreciated. - My tinnitus almost disappears while using the hearing aids. - I put the hearing aids in first thing in the morning, and take them out before going to bed, and have never run out of battery. - I love hearing all the sounds that I didn't realized had disappeared from my life. Birds when walking in the woods, waves on the beach, etc. A ton of subtle sounds that constantly make me smile now. Things that I had not noticed that I lost, that are now found. - I will spend time with learning more about the hearing aids, but so far, I'm getting a lot of use out of it without "reading the user's manual". ----------------------------------- 14 MONTHS LATER ----------------------- - I still believe it was a great buy. I really did need hearing aids, and I believe this was a good price / performance option - There have been around a dozen times when one of the two hearing aids dropped to very close to zero volume (unrelated to settings). Shaking and/or cleaning and/or putting them in the charger case for a while solves it every time, but a couple of those times were when I was really counting on the hearing aids and they let me down. - After over a year of use, the batteries now start to run out before my day does. My wife and I start laughing when I say "I'm hearing voices again!" ("battery low"). - They are still painful. I could try a smaller earbud size, but I'm afraid of losing them. - I've wandered into the sea or into a shower with them a couple of dozen times, catching my error very quickly but still getting the hearing aids totally wet, but they have survived. - To listen to an audible book while walking, I can't keep the phone in my pocket.. .I need to have it up and close to the hearing aids. Bummer. - I'm surprised there have been no software updates. I can't complain, but constant improvements would have kept me with your brand. - "Noisy restaurants" (there are a lot of them here in Spain) render the hearing aids almost useless. Every time, I miss >50% (sometimes closer to 100%) of what is going on, and walk out of the restaurants with my head pounding from raising the volume. It sucks.

Updated review August 2025. The hearing aids worked well until Lexie introduced a new app that controls the product. First, the app deleted all my environments which worked well, took some time to develop and test. Reestablished two new environments on the new app only to have them deleted spontaneously as well. Several times the hearing aids simply stopped working. Once while I was driving and unable to address the spontaneous failure. Customer Service is not helpful. Clueless human or AI. Either go back to the previous simple, intuitive app or repair the new app. Meantime, I change my recommendation to DO NOT BUY. After four years of searching, three audiologists, two otolaryngologists, four hearing aids, I finally found this Lexie Bose product. Less expensive than the audiologist Rx hearing aids. The app administers a hearing test then customizes amplification based on your individual needs. Similar to work the audiologist does. Devices are comfortable and my open dome choice allows me to hear my own voice without the conductive distortions you get from in canal aids. My own speaking voice sounds normal. Hearing music from base to treble. Hearing birds for the first time in years. Product description accurately advises that music streaming is poor quality, but my experience is that spoken word streaming like talk radio or audiobooks is acceptably clear. By experimenting with the environments settings, I was able to establish an "Earbuds" setting that produces acceptable music sound. Seller correctly points out these devices do not produce a high fidelity music sound, but I found with a little experimentation with the volume, bass and treble settings, the music acceptable and convenient to set up. More bass tones reduce the tinny sound quality.

How patient are you with set ups and registrations? If you have some patience, then by all means find your best magnifying glass. The registration says enter SN for right ear and for left ear. The box shows an FCC ID for left and right ears but only one serial number. Turns out that one SN works for both ears. There's more to do but skip to connecting to the app on the phone. You're supposed to turn on the aids. How do you know if they are on? No lights as on other aids, but a tiny sound. Of course, you bought these because you have trouble hearing such sounds. Mine made the sounds but my phone 2 inches away didn't connect. Oh, it says make sure they are sufficiently charged. Our of the box apparently not though I did hear a tiny sound when I pressed the on/off button. How do I know if I turned them on or turned them off? By now you understand why only 3 stars. When I get them working maybe 4 or maybe 1. Stay tuned.

I previously used the original Bose hearing aids. These are much clearer and seem better at amplifying the sounds I want to hear (speech) and not the annoying creaks of eg footsteps etc. I have deducted one star because I found the Lexie app much harder to use than the Bose one and the instructions in my package showed a previous version of the app. I was forced to call the helpline which was excellent, because nowhere did it tell me I needed to change my phone settings to connect even though I didn’t want to use the streaming functionality. This would be an easy fix in the app or the booklet or both! Update: after a few days use I noticed that the right hearing aid lost charge at almost twice the rate of the left, does not charge above 96% and if set above 25 runs out in less than 12 hours. I contacted the support by chat and was told they would email a shipping label for return and replacement. Nothing happened. I contacted support again, nothing happened. I telephoned support and was again promised an email. Still nothing. I now have no choice but to return to Amazon while I still can. Very disappointed as I really like them in principle.

I’ve been using my Lexie B2plus hearing aid's for 2 months now, started wearing them a few hours a day to get use to something in my ear which only took a couple of weeks, they are very comfortable, sometimes forgetting i have them on. Very nice to control the bass & treble to suit your preferable sound you hear, very great product, shipping was very fast. Customer service is a real person.
