THE EMRBRACE X-SERIES Bluetooth™ | Rechargeable
Starting at $899 Shop Now
The software in the X-Series delivers the latest in hearing performance. The hearing aids are custom programmed to your hearing test by our Audiologists to meet your precise needs. In addition, the aids actually adjust automatically to your environment so you don’t have to. For example, if you move from a quiet car into a noisy restaurant, the hearing aids immediately detect the change in background noise and automatically adjust for it.
They operate like wireless earbuds. The X-Series hearing aids will connect directly with your android or apple smartphone for completely hands-free phone calls – you can be up to 15 feet away from your phone (it can even be in your pocket!). Your caller’s voice comes directly into your hearing aids and your voice is transferred back to your phone via the hearing aid’s Bluetooth system.
If you get a new hearing test or just need an adjustment, just call us and and our Audiologists will make the adjustment and upload it to your hearing aids through our free mobile phone app. No appointments or shipping required.
With our optional TV Streamer, the sound from your TV streams directly into your hearing aids with crystal clear, stereo sound. You can adjust your personal TV volume level without affecting the sound for others watching. The TV can even be on mute while you hear everything in full stereo.
The X-Series is designed to perform at the highest level despite it's compact and discreet design. The wire from the piece behind your ear is so thin it conforms to your ear making it almost invisible.
3-year warranty and 45-day trial period.

Rechargeable and disposable battery models available.
The X-Series is equipped with an innovative auto-surround feature. This technology allows the hearing aid software to detect changes in the environment (from a quiet car to a noisy restaurant for example) and adjust automatically to manage background noise. This feature significantly boosts clarity and is a tremendous convenience. While both X-Series models have this ability, it is significantly more effective on the X-950, versus the X-550.
Hearing aid sound clarity is in part driven by the number of available processing channels or programmable bands. Up to a point, a higher number of programmable bands/channels allows more specific programming and greater capability to digitally break down and re-construct incoming sounds to meet the specific needs defined by your hearing test. But there is a limit. Audiologists will program up to about 20 bands, after that the brain cannot detect a benefit. The X-550 has 12 programmable bands while X-950 has 20 bands.
In addition to the eight extra programmable bands, the X-950 uses binaural signal processing software to automatically focus on speech from the front, from behind, and from the side - enabling effortless 360° hearing, even in the most challenging and noisy environments. So, while the X-550 is a great hearing system, the X-950 is as good as it gets, anywhere.

This is the number of frequency bands we use to program your hearing aids to the results of your hearing test. The hearing aid then uses these bands to re-build sound to meet the needs of your hearing loss. The greater the number of bands, the more natural the sound and the better the performance in more challenging situations, like restaurants.

BiCROS hearing aid progamming is for people who have unaidable hearing loss in one ear but have some level of hearing in the other. You would wear hearing aids on both ears. We program them so a microphone picks up sounds from the weak ear and transmits them to wirelessly to the ear with better hearing.

I have near profound hearing loss at the higher frequencies. My existing hearing aids no longer worked with my deteriorating hearing loss. I bought the X-Series because I like to be able to control the volume from my phone. The people at Embrace are very responsive. I got a call from one of their doctors shortly after receiving them and another follow up from her three weeks later to confirm everything was working correctly. My last pair of aids from Embrace lasted 7 years and still work, they just need software updates. Embrace offered to do that for me but I decided to get new ones instead - they will be donated. Great hearing aids, great company, great prices. My primary needs are to hear in small groups (restaurants), movie theaters, private conversations, watch television without alerting the neighbors:-). I have channels for each of those and a setting for my tinnitus. I can hear birds again!!!
After wearing in-ear hearing aids for about 10 years my old pair were shot. Although the audiologist at the storefront hearing aid store was great I found after my hearing test I'd come home and the results didn't translate to real world. So I checked on-line. Embrace had excellent reviews. Looking further I was amazed at their prices, about half what the storefront company charged. I got the X-950s, and I'm thrilled. Very small and almost impossible to see when on. I'm especially happy with being able to adjust the volume and programs with a cell phone app. So if I'm in a noisy environment or dealing with one of those people who speak too softly, I have plenty of room to adjust the volume up. On a final note I want to mention that the people I've dealt with at Embrace are very patient and accommodating. They're genuinely concerned that you get the right product and that it works right.
After being impressed by the online reviews, I contacted Embrace Hearing, They responded quickly to email and within the week a technician phoned me to discuss my hearing profile and took my order, even though that was not his job. The order was placed Friday and the hearing aids were delivered Monday. I have worn hearing aids for ten years - first Beltones, then Phonaks. The Embrace hearing aids are FAR superior. They are smaller and lighter and the speaker in the ear, rather than in the hearing aid body behind the ear with its audio output fed to the ear through a sound tube. The tiny speaker cushioned with a flexible anti-feedback diaphragm surrounding it, is practically unnoticeable. No discomfort whatsoever. The surround- sound option is remarkable - it adjusts to its environment so hearing what's important is enhanced. The price is about 40% less than the competition, and they furnished insurance claim forms for reimbursement.
