In a recent feature for Forbes, writer Bart Astor opened up about his personal journey with hearing loss—something many people face but few talk about openly. Like millions of Americans, Bart had begun to notice signs: conversations were harder to follow, the TV seemed too quiet, and he often found himself asking people to repeat what they’d said.

‍

What set Bart’s story apart? He took action—and found a smart, accessible solution with Zepp Clarity.

A Modern Solution for a Common Problem

Traditional hearing aids can be expensive and require multiple in-person appointments before you even try a device. But Bart’s experience with Zepp Clarity was different.

‍

From the comfort of his home, he completed a simple online hearing test, followed by a virtual consultation with one of Zepp Clarity’s licensed audiologists. The process was quick, transparent, and affordable. Most importantly, he received a hearing aid tailored to his needs—without the long wait or the sticker shock.
