The call you dread
A call comes in, and you already know you will miss half of it.
You press the phone hard against your good ear, then switch to speaker and turn it all the way up. You still miss the name, the time, the callback number. Then you hang up and guess at what was said.
Face to face you can read lips and fill in the gaps. On the phone there is nothing to read. So calls go to voicemail, and your wife or daughter calls the doctor’s office for you. FaceTime with the grandkids turns into smiling and nodding.
Certus Max puts the call in both ears. Your phone sends the voice straight to both hearing aids over Bluetooth. It works on iPhone or Android. No speakerphone, and no phone pressed to your head.
You’ve probably tried these already. Here’s why they let you down:
✕
Speakerphone, turned all the way up
The whole house hears your call, and the words still run together.
✕
Cheap $99 “hearing aids” from online ads
Most are amplifiers that turn every sound up at once. “Bluetooth” on the box often means an app, not your calls. And getting your money back can be a fight.
✕
Tiny in-ear aids that won’t stay put
If your ear canals are small, in-ear aids pinch, work loose and fall out. Most end up in a kitchen drawer.
✓
What actually works: calls in both ears, on iPhone or Android
Certus Max pairs with your phone like earbuds. Calls, music and videos go straight into both hearing aids. And it sits behind the ear, so it fits ears that in-ear aids don’t.
How it works
How Certus Max puts the call in both ears
A real digital hearing aid with Bluetooth built in, not an amplifier. Its chip splits sound into 32 bands, so it can lift voices and keep the background noise down. One pair does two jobs: clearer conversation in the room, and calls and music from your phone.
1
Hear: the room, clearer
Microphones behind each ear pick up the voices around you. The 32-channel chip lifts speech and turns background noise down.
2
Pair: once, like earbuds
Pair Certus Max with your iPhone or Android phone over Bluetooth once. After that it connects by itself when you take the aids out of the case.
3
Stream: calls and music, both ears
Phone calls, FaceTime, music, podcasts and audiobooks play straight into both hearing aids, through the soft dome in each ear.
A certified OTC (over-the-counter) hearing aid for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss. Bluetooth calls and music are built in. No prescription and no appointment. A real hearing aid, not an amplifier.
Life after Certus
Answer the phone without thinking twice and hear every word
The calls you used to dread become easy again.
Calls in both ears
The voice plays in both ears at once. It is night and day next to holding a phone to one ear. No speakerphone, no phone pressed to your head.
The grandkids on FaceTime
Video calls with the kids and grandkids come through clearly, so you join in instead of nodding along.
Music and audiobooks on the go
Your playlist, the ballgame or an audiobook, on a walk, in the car or while you cook. About 6 hours of music per charge.
Clearer in the room too
Off the phone, Certus Max works as a hearing aid all day. That is up to 15 hours of clearer conversation.
What to expect
From your first call to your first month
Here is what it feels like, with 90 days at home to be sure.
Day 1
Pair once, take a call
Pick a dome size, pair with your phone, run the five-minute hearing check, and call someone. Their voice is in both ears.
Week 1
You stop letting it go to voicemail
Your daughter calls, the doctor’s office calls back, the grandkids FaceTime, and you hear all of it. You stop asking someone else to make the call.
Week 2
You forget they’re there
The thin wire and the small body behind the ear stop feeling new.
Month 1
Music comes back into your day
You listen to audiobooks on walks and music while you cook. And talk with the people around you is clearer.
Everything you want from a Bluetooth hearing aid
Calls · Music · Every word
Calls and music in both ears
Pairs with iPhone or Android like earbuds. Phone calls, FaceTime, music, podcasts and audiobooks play straight into both hearing aids.
A touchscreen on the case
See the left and right volume, the mode and the battery on the case. Change the volume and mode right there, no phone needed.
Fits small ear canals
The body sits behind the ear and only a soft dome (the small tip) goes in the ear. Five dome sizes in the box, so it fits ears that in-ear aids don’t.
Up to 15 hours a day
Up to 15 hours of hearing, or about 5 hours of calls or 6 hours of music. The case recharges the aids 4 to 5 times.
Independent product review
An audiologist on Certus Max
An audiologist who fits hearing aids at her clinic looked at Certus Max for people who struggle on the phone.
On the phone there is no face to read. That is why calls get hard first.
“Most people manage face to face long after the phone has become hard work. There is no face to read on a call, so the phone is where it shows first. I see it in people whose kids live across the country. I also see it in Android users whose last hearing aids would not stream a call. Hearing the caller in both ears, instead of one phone pressed to one ear, is the change people notice fastest. And a behind-the-ear fit with a soft dome suits plenty of ears that in-ear aids never sat in comfortably.”
MD
Marisa DelgadoAudiologist, independent reviewer
“Won’t it be a big plastic thing behind my ear?”
Fair question. It does show a little. Here is what it really looks like.
Small and light: 4 grams
The part behind the ear is about an inch long and weighs 4 grams, less than a nickel. A thin clear wire runs to a soft dome in the ear.
Hidden by hair or glasses
It tucks behind the ear, under your hair or beside the arm of your glasses. Most people only notice if you tell them.
Silver-white, not beige
Not the beige kind your dad wore. No thick tube and no molded earpiece. Just a small silver-white body and a thin clear wire.
Still unsure?
Wear Certus Max at home for 90 days: three months of calls, dinners out and music. If it is not right for you, send it back for a full refund.
What it really costs
What Bluetooth hearing aids actually cost in the US
Three ways to get hearing aids that stream calls. Here is what each one costs for a pair.
Option 1
An audiologist
$4,000–$7,500 a pair
What clinics quote for a pair that streams calls, with the hearing test, fittings and follow-up visits. Medicare doesn’t cover hearing aids, so the bill is yours. The right choice for severe or complex hearing loss.
Option 2
Costco
About $1,400–$1,800 a pair, plus the membership
Good hearing aids at a fair price. You still book a hearing test and fitting visits. You drive to the warehouse for each one. A Medicare Advantage plan helps only through its own network.
Option 3
Certus Max
$649.99 for the pair
OTC hearing aids that put calls and music into both ears, on iPhone or Android, with a touchscreen case. No appointment, no membership, no salesperson. It comes to your door, with 90 days at home to be sure.

My heavy days
My routine since I got these: podcast on the morning walk, about an hour and a half. Golf with a couple of calls in the middle. Ballgame on the radio app in the evening. On those days the case screen shows them in the low twenties by nine at night, so I drop them in during dinner for twenty minutes. On quiet days I don't think about it at all.

Four months, my honest take
Four months with these and here is my honest take. Calls are the best part. My daughter in Huntsville sounds like she's in the room, both ears, and my Android connected on the first try, which no aid I tried before managed. Music and sermons are good, not earbud good on the low end. The case is bigger than the pictures, it lives on my nightstand, not my pocket. Long call days I need a top up by supper. Four stars, keeping them.

Our fiftieth at the Polish hall
My daughters rented the hall for our fiftieth and invited about ninety people, plus a polka band that does not believe in playing quietly. Two years ago I'd have smiled at everyone and understood nothing. This time I stood by the door and talked with every person who came in, my old foreman, the neighbors from Cheektowaga, my wife's cousins from Lackawanna. I caught the toast my oldest gave. I turned them down a little when the band started and it was fine.

Notes after four months
Things I'd tell anyone getting these. Try the domes before you decide on fit, I went down a size. Pair them to your phone before you do anything else, then run the hearing check in a quiet room with the TV off. If you stream calls all day, plan on topping up at lunch, a long call day will run them down by supper. Outdoor mode helps with wind but does not fix it, a ball cap brim helps more than you'd think. The case is too big for a shirt pocket, it lives on my kitchen counter. And they're for mild to moderate loss, so be honest with yourself about that.

Running the business phone
My wife and I have been married thirty one years and she runs our business phone line from the kitchen. I take the calls she can't. For years I asked customers to spell everything twice. Now the calls come through my Android into both ears and I write the order down once. She says I sound less grumpy on the phone. I didn't know I sounded grumpy.

Seed sales on the phone all day
I sell seed for a living and I'm on the phone in the pickup six hours a day. For two years I was getting numbers wrong, a 40 that was a 14, and I lost an order over it. These take my calls in both ears off my Android and I quit pressing the phone into my head. Battery is the catch on heavy days, so I charge the case off the truck at lunch. ❤️

Still deciding if Certus Max fits your day?
Will I really hear phone calls in both ears?
Yes. It pairs with your phone over Bluetooth, like earbuds. When a call comes in, you hear the caller in both ears. No speakerphone, and no phone pressed to your ear.
I have an Android phone. Will it work?
Yes. It pairs with iPhone and Android phones over Bluetooth, the same way earbuds do. Calls and music come into both ears on either one. Older phones work too, as long as they have Bluetooth. If you get a new phone, just pair it again. If it will not pair, email us and a real person will walk you through it. If it still won’t, send it back for a full refund.
What if I want my money back?
You have 90 days from delivery. Wear them for at least 21 days first, unless they are faulty or hurt. Then email us. We will ask you to try one fix, like a different dome size. There is no phone interview, no video call and no restocking fee. You mail the pair back with tracking and pay the return shipping. We refund you within 14 days of getting it back, the same way you paid.
Will they whistle?
Only if the dome does not sit snugly. That is why five dome sizes come in the box. If you hear a whistle, try one size up. On a call the voice goes from the phone straight into your ears. So holding the phone near your ear won’t make them squeal.
Can I hear the TV through them?
Anything you watch on your phone or tablet plays in your ears: FaceTime, YouTube, streaming shows, movies. Certus Max does not connect to the TV on its own. In the room, it works as a hearing aid and makes voices on the TV clearer. So you don’t have to turn the TV up as loud.
How long does the battery last?
Up to 15 hours a day of hearing. Streaming uses more power: about 5 hours of calls or about 6 hours of music. The case recharges the aids 4 to 5 times, so a long day out is covered.
My ear canals are small. Will these fit?
That is exactly who Certus Max is for. The aid sits behind the ear, and only a soft dome goes in the ear. Five dome sizes come in the box. If in-ear aids hurt or fell out, start with a smaller dome.
Will people see it?
It does show a little, but it is small. A 4-gram silver-white body sits behind the ear with a thin clear wire. Your hair or glasses usually hide it. If you want a pair that sits fully inside the ear, look at Certus One or Certus Pro.
Can I set it up for my mom or dad?
Yes. Pair it once to their phone and run the hearing check with them: about ten minutes. After that it connects by itself whenever they take the aids out of the case. They can change the volume on the case screen without touching the phone.
Why not just use AirPods?
Lots of people try AirPods first, and they are good for calls. But the hearing feature needs an iPhone, and the battery lasts about 5 to 6 hours. Everyone can see them, too. Certus Max works with iPhone or Android and gives up to 15 hours a day of hearing. Its case screen shows the left and right volume.
Do I have to use the app?
No. You can change the volume and mode on the touchscreen case, and on the aids. The free app adds the five-minute hearing check and the volume for each ear. Pairing for calls is done in your phone’s Bluetooth settings.
Will you still be around if I need help?
Certus Max does not depend on the app: the volume and mode are on the case and on the aids. Your 2-year warranty covers faults, and a real person answers email 7 days a week. 1,489 verified buyers have reviewed it on this page, including critical reviews.
Does Medicare or my insurance pay for these?
Medicare doesn’t cover hearing aids. Medicare Advantage plans that help usually do it only through their own network of clinics. So most people pay for hearing aids themselves.
Can I use my HSA or FSA?
Yes. Hearing aids are an eligible medical expense, and you don’t need a doctor’s note. You can pay with your HSA or FSA card. We email an itemized receipt for your HSA or FSA.
Is this a real hearing aid or just an amplifier?
A real hearing aid. Certus Max is a certified OTC hearing aid for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss. Cheap amplifiers turn every sound up at once. Certus Max lifts voices, turns background noise down, and streams calls and music into both ears.
Are they suitable for severe hearing loss?
No. Certus Max is for mild to moderate hearing loss and everyday situations: conversation, calls, music. For severe or profound loss, hearing aids fitted by an audiologist are the right choice.
How can it cost so much less than an audiologist?
Because you are not paying for a clinic. Audiologists quote $4,000 to $7,500 for a pair that streams calls. Much of that pays for the office, the appointments and the fitting fees. Costco is about $1,400 to $1,800 a pair, plus the membership and the trips to the warehouse. Certus Max comes straight to your door, with 90 days at home to be sure it does the job.
How does shipping work?
Every order ships free, tracked and insured, to your door. Your tracking link arrives by email as soon as it ships.
What if one stops working?
Email us. A real person replies within 24 hours. If it develops a fault in the first two years, it is repaired or replaced free under your 2-year warranty.
What if they’re not right for me?
Wear them for 21 days, then email us within 90 days of delivery for a full refund. No restocking fee. Faults are covered by the 2-year warranty.
