Founded in 2018,<\/span> Orka Labs feels like a bigger and more established hearing aid company<\/a> than it is, with polished hardware that\u2019s now on its second edition.<\/p>\n

The Orka Two is something of a hybrid between prescription and over-the-counter hearing aids<\/a>. The devices are registered as prescription-class aids but are sold online as OTC products. Professional medical consultations and adjustments are available (and included in the price) but are not required if you decide to go it alone.<\/p>\n

The hardware is traditional in form, a behind-the-ear model with receivers that snake into the ear canal via flexible wires. But while they are a bit oversized in comparison to similar designs (and rather heavy at 3.8 grams each), they are distinguished by their glossy AirPod-white color and curvy, teardrop design. The units carry no physical controls, which further improves their sleekness. For behind-the-ear hearing aids, these look about as good as you could expect\u2014and much better than the usual industrial-gray aids that are now so commonplace.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

As with most over-ear aids, I found the units a little clumsy to fit and in need of significant fidgeting to situate them properly in my ears. The usual collection of open and closed tips is included in the box. While I normally find that medium-sized tips fit perfectly for me, I found all but the smallest uncomfortably large.<\/p>\n
