    Detailed Test Results

    Ease of Use: Overall, we found the MDHearing VOLT MAX 2 to be very easy to use. Setting up the hearing aids is easy and intuitive with good directions. There is a self fitting test available to customize your personal hearing profile, which is part of the setup process. Help is available from online, phone and email or chat. The left and right hearing aids are not as easily identified as other models. There are preset programs available to select an ideal hearing situation, which can be chosen from the app and the device itself. Volume can be controlled from the app and easily from the device itself. These hearing aids do not support streaming music or phone calls directly to the device. This model is not water resistant.

    Performance: Performance is good for daily use. It has a rechargeable case that uses a USB-C cable. The battery runtime should last 15 hours. Charging the device should take 4 hours and charging the case should take 4 hours. In tests, this model was able to reduce noise fairly well. In practice, some found a lot of improvement in understanding dialog in movie and TV programs compared to when not wearing hearing aids, and a lot of improvement in hearing speech in a noisy environment. They disagreed that they could wear this model more frequently, but agreed that they had confidence wearing it. We found it generally comfortable to wear. It seemed more discreet than other models.

    Sound quality: This model showed very good sound quality in tests. It exceeded FDA requirements for amplifying lower-pitched sounds. It was far unable to meet FDA requirements for amplifying lower-pitched sounds. There was much more harmonic distortion and noisy interference created in loud environments. Sound delays during hearing aid processing were minimal. Audibility evaluations suggest this model can provide the right amount of amplification at the lowest or highest volumes.
