Review: Kingwell’s Melodia hearing aids are a little rough around the edges, but they’re moderately effective and surprisingly comfortable for long-term wear

Melodia , Kingwell 's hearing aid newcomers, are disguising hearing aids as Bluetooth earbuds.

They carry an IP54 weatherproofing designation and FDA approval.

Kingwell has one of the most unique approaches to configuring your hearing settings of any hearing aid product I’ve encountered, particularly at this price.

While the Melodia hearing aids are a little rough around the edges, they're moderately effective and surprisingly comfortable for long-term wear.

Kingwell says that the nine-hour lifespan is valid for hearing aid mode only.

At the sub-$500 level, they’re not my favorite aids, but they're at least worth a listen.
