NEW YORK, NY –– Audicus today has today announced the launch of its new line of hearing aids, the Series 2, featuring enhanced sound processing and new features. Additionally, they introduced an innovative monthly subscription program, Audicus Premier, aimed at reducing cost and increasing convenience for individuals with hearing loss.
According to Patrick Freuler, founder and CEO of Audicus, the company’s mission is to improve hearing and communication for as many people as possible.
“Our goal is to help as many people hear and communicate better as possible, and our subscription offering has helped thousands of people access hearing aids with low monthly payments for more than the past 3 years. With Audicus Premier and the Series 2 line, we hope to extend that impact further than ever before, especially at a time when untreated hearing loss is about more than just feeling disconnected. Research shows that it may be detrimental to our overall health.”

Recent research has indicated that untreated hearing loss may be linked to health risks such as dementia, depression, anxiety, social isolation, and falls in the elderly. A landmark study published in The Lancet found that hearing aids might reduce the risk of developing dementia by 50 percent.
Unique Subscription Offering
According to the company announcement, Audicus was the first to offer fully customizable hearing aids through a subscription model in 2020.
With the introduction of Audicus Premier, they are retiring their Audicus Plus program to offer a more flexible subscription option. Audicus Premier requires a low upfront fee of $249, with monthly payments of $99 for Spirit Series 2 hearing aids and $149 for Omni Series 2 hearing aids. Customers are not bound by any contract and may cancel at any time.
The program is also said to include free upgrades to the latest generation product every 18 months, care packages for cleaning and maintenance supplies, and priority service from a dedicated team of Hearing Aid Specialists.
Audicus Spirit and Omni Series 2 Hearing Aids
Alongside Audicus Premier, Audicus has unveiled its new line of hearing aids, the Spirit Series 2 and Omni Series 2. The new hearing aids feature the latest technology for an improved sound experience, with new circuits that offer increased memory and faster scanning and processing of the environment.
According to the company, the new devices perform better in background noise and have the ability to connect to and switch between two Bluetooth devices simultaneously. The Series 2 hearing aids are 10 percent smaller compared to Audicus’ previous Series 1 products.
The hearing aids from the Mini, Spirit Series 1, and Omni Series 1 now include remote adjustments, providing users with more convenience and control over their hearing health.
“We’re thrilled to introduce these new hearing aids and subscription offering, with the hope that we’ll continue to improve access to healthy hearing for those living with untreated hearing loss due to cost and other convenience barriers. These innovations reflect our commitment to bringing advanced hearing aid technology and unparalleled support to the millions of people living with mild to moderate hearing loss.”
