Non-Prescription Over the Counter Hearing Aids

I have tried a Hue Hearing, hearing aid online and found it to be not very good. I am looking at what my options might be without spending thousands of dollars. At the moment I am using Apple Air Pods hooked up to my cell phone. They really work quite well and cost me $179 on Amazon. They recharge easily and although they can be seen by others, I don't feel that I look much different from all the public walking around with air pods in their ears for music.
I do want to find something else that is more invisible but these ear pods work well for the time being.
Would love to hear from others who have found a good hearing aid solution.

My first question is why do you want them to be invisible? Are you afraid of what people will think ?
The hearing aid industry always mentions aids that are so small no one will know you are wearing them. That’s a great disservice to the millions of us who have hearing loss. I think they are less noticeable than eyeglasses if that is a concern. People wear cochlear implants. I wear powerful behind the ear aids because they are what I need and what works for me. I would rather people notice them and believe me, 9 times out of ten, they don’t.
Don’t focus on that aspect and tell us more about what you are experiencing, have you had your hearing tested, how long and what type of problems do you seem to be having. Don’t waste your money on online amplifiers or OTC hearing aids if you are self diagnosing .
Please get a hearing test and talk to a qualified Audiologist.
