Everything people ask before their first pair.
Is this really a hearing aid, or just an amplifier?
It's a real hearing aid. AUDISOLE NovaClip is an FDA-regulated over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid for adults 18+ with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. Unlike a simple sound amplifier — which just makes everything louder — NovaClip uses Adaptive Hearing Technology to emphasize speech and adapt to your environment.
Do I need a hearing test or prescription?
No. Since the FDA established the OTC hearing aid category, adults with perceived mild-to-moderate hearing loss can buy hearing aids directly — no exam, no prescription, no clinic visit.
What does "open-ear clip" mean? Will it block my ear?
NovaClip clips onto your ear, and the soft silicone sound guide sits lightly at the opening of your ear canal — shallow and unsealed, not pushed in deep. Because the fit stays open and unsealed, you'll hear your own voice naturally, stay aware of your surroundings, and avoid the plugged-up, occluded feeling of sealed in-ear devices.
Will people notice it?
They'll notice your style, not your device. NovaClip is designed like a piece of jewelry — a clean matte black finish and a form that reads as a modern accessory. That's the whole point: hearing help without the stigma.
Is it comfortable for all-day wear?
Yes — that's the core benefit of the open-ear clip design. No in-ear pressure, no soreness after hours of use, and no earwax buildup from blocked ear canals.
Do I need the app?
No. NovaClip adapts automatically out of the box. The Audisole app (iPhone & Android) is optional — use it to fine-tune volume, check your Hearing Profile, and switch modes.
How is this different from $5,000 clinic hearing aids?
Prescription hearing aids are fitted and programmed in person for severe loss and complex needs — and priced accordingly. OTC devices like NovaClip serve the far larger group of adults with mild-to-moderate loss, at a fraction of the price. The FDA's own estimate: OTC buyers save about $2,876 per pair.
Am I too young for hearing aids?
NovaClip is intended for adults 18 and older. If following conversations in meetings, cafés, or dinners out takes more effort than it used to, you're exactly who we built this for — the average OTC hearing aid owner in the US is 52, and nearly half are still working.
I'm buying for a parent or partner. What should I know?
The question that matters most isn't which device has the best specs — it's what will they actually wear? NovaClip was designed around exactly that: it clips on like an earring, charges in a case like wireless earbuds, and works automatically with no settings to learn. Every pair includes a 45-day home trial, so if it isn't right for them, you can return it for a full refund.
Does it work with my phone?
NovaClip works with iPhone and Android. Music, hands-free calls, and TV listening are built in — one pair that moves with your day. Use the Audisole app to fine-tune volume and switch sound modes on modern iOS and Android devices.
How much is shipping?
