Receiver-in-canal design streams phone calls and music to both ears, fits smaller ear canals and includes a 90-day home trial
MIAMI, FL / ACCESS Newswire / October 24, 2026 / Certus Hearing today announced the launch of Certus Max, a certified rechargeable receiver-in-canal hearing aid for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. It is the first Certus device to stream phone calls and music from a smartphone directly into both ears.
Certus Max sits discreetly behind the ear and weighs approximately 4 grams per device. A thin clear wire carries sound to a small receiver and soft silicone dome in the ear canal, a design that also suits people whose ear canals are too small for in-canal hearing aids. The devices pair with iPhone and Android phones over Bluetooth in the same way as wireless earbuds.
The launch comes as hearing access remains a global challenge. The World Health Organization estimates that more than 430 million people require rehabilitation for disabling hearing loss and projects that nearly 2.5 billion people will have some degree of hearing loss by 2050.
For many adults, the telephone is where the difficulty shows first. A call from the doctor, a video call with grandchildren or a work call becomes something to avoid, and a partner is often asked to take the phone instead. Certus Hearing developed Certus Max around that moment,.
“Our customers told us two things again and again. They wanted a hearing aid that could take a phone call in both ears, and some of them could not wear an in-canal device because the fit was wrong for their ears,” said a Certus Hearing spokesperson. “Certus Max answers both. It streams calls and music directly, it sits behind the ear with a barely-there wire, and the touchscreen case lets you see and change both volumes without opening an app.”
A touchscreen case instead of guesswork
The charging case shows the left and right volume as percentages, the current listening mode and the remaining battery, and both volume and mode can be changed on the case with no phone required.
Inside each device, a 32-channel digital chip with background-noise reduction processes sound across four listening modes: Smart, Meeting, Outdoor and Universal. The free Certus app adds a five-minute guided hearing check that assesses each ear separately, along with per-ear volume control and mode selection from the phone.
Key Certus Max details include:
- Receiver-in-canal design at approximately 4 grams per device, with a thin clear wire and soft silicone dome
- Bluetooth streaming of phone calls, music, podcasts and video audio from an iPhone or Android phone
- Colour touchscreen charging case showing both volumes, the mode and the battery
- 32-channel digital chip with noise reduction and four listening modes
- Up to 15 hours of hearing per charge, with about 5 hours of calls or 6 hours of music; the USB-C case recharges the devices four to five times
- Five sizes of soft domes, two cleaning tools and a printed guide in the box
- 90-day money-back home trial and a two-year guarantee
Ninety days at home before deciding
The 90-day home trial lets users wear the devices on real phone calls, in meetings and restaurants and while listening to music before deciding whether to keep them. Customers who decide it is not right for them can return it within the trial period for a refund, and a two-year Certus guarantee covers the devices beyond the trial.
Certus Max is intended for adults with perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. It is not intended for children or for severe or profound hearing loss. People who experience sudden hearing loss, ear pain, discharge or marked dizziness should seek advice from a doctor or a qualified hearing-care professional rather than self-treating.
Availability
Full specifications, phone compatibility, current availability and local terms are published on the Certus Max product page, which reports a rating of 4.9 out of 5 across 2,309 verified customer reviews, with critical reviews published in full.
“A hearing aid should fit the life someone already has, not ask them to reorganize it,” the spokesperson added. “With Certus Max, the phone rings and you answer it. The music plays and you hear it in both ears. And if it does not earn its place in your routine within 90 days, you send it back.”
