Eargo

Eargo was a San Jose, California direct-to-consumer medical device company that designed and sold rechargeable, virtually invisible in-canal hearing aids for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss, founded in 2010 as Aria Innovations and listed on Nasdaq in 2020. In 2025 Eargo merged with South Africa's hearX Group to form LXE Hearing, combining Eargo's direct-to-consumer platform with the Lexie and Go Hearing over-the-counter brands. In 2026 LXE Hearing began winding down its US operations after restructuring efforts failed, and the eargo.com website has been reduced to a single wind-down notice page. Eargo never operated a public developer program, developer portal, or documented API: the hearing aids paired with a consumer mobile application backed by a private, undocumented service host at api.eargo.com.

Eargo is profiled on the APIs.io network. Tagged areas include Company, Hearing Aids, Medical Devices, Consumer Health, and Direct to Consumer.

Eargo’s developer surface includes support and 9 more developer resources.

Regulatory Posture applies to this provider. Its tags matched the Health regime, so Regulatory Posture carries 15 points of the composite. If this regime is wrong for your business, say so on your provider repo — the applicability map is public and we will correct it.

The six quality facets above are damped to 85 points between them, because the conditional facet above carries the other 15. That is why each facet's contribution is shown against a damped maximum: raising a quality facet moves the composite by 85% of its nominal weight, not 100%. The full arithmetic is at apis.io/rating/.
