The devices, a charger and charging cord, a TV streaming box, firmware updates and device cleaning (they replace the wax guard, the outer bulb, and the tail that keeps the thing from falling off the back of my ear) every 3 months as needed, software updates for the remote app on my phone, customized program settings on my phone for different situations (driving my loud golf cart, listening to music through my phone music app, talking to friends while at a noisy restaurant, just sitting around the house not doing anything important, dancing in the squares, and one "automatic" which somehow knows what I'm listening to and self-adjusts for it). I also get another hearing test halfway through the 3-year warranty period at no extra charge (my insurance usually requires a co-pay with every visit to specialists - the cost of the devices covered ALL the co-pays).

It came with one battery change and, the best part - at the end of the three year warranty, I can tell them that I need that battery change and they will completely refurbish the devices in addition to just the battery. That will give me another 2-3 more years of use out of them before I need to replace them (assuming my hearing doesn't change drastically enough to need new ones earlier than that).

It also gives me all of this in the privacy of the audiologist's office. I don't have to go through a crowded store filled with music, announcements, people talking loudly to each other, the sound of a thousand shopping carts, kids whining at their parents, and all the other sounds that good hearing aids pick up for you when you walk through a warehouse store like that.

Appears to do everything except for what my wife says is my hearing problem. Does it fix selective hearing?
