- EarCentric High Performance Mini BTE Hearing Aid: JOY
High Performance Hearing Aids Designed by Audiologists
Designed by audiologists to help 95% of the most common hearing issue, the EarCentric™ JOY hearing aid is specifically created to provide you with full control of your hearing while simplifying tedious traditional fitting processes. Combining the same digital technology as much more costly devices with universal pre-programmed settings, the JOY mini BTE can help you enjoy all the sounds you've been missing, in both quiet and especially noisy situations, all with a simple click.

Enhancing Speech Recognition
With an intelligent 12-band digital sound processing core, EarCentric™ JOY identify sound pattern on realtime, selectively recognize and amplify high-frequency sound associated with human speech; Its 10-band layered noise reduction algorithm reduces unwanted background noise.
Telecoil Mode
New JOY comes with telecoil (t-switch) to wirelessly stream sound in compatible theaters, auditoriums, as well as telephone conversation. Compatible with smart phones and traditional landline.
Comfort, Natural Sound, Minimal Occlusion
The miniature size of the behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aid is a lightweight, medical-grade design and construction. The tiny body provides a comfortable, secure fit and accentuates the premium sound quality. The unique ear domes, combining open fit comfort and closed tip reliability, allow natural sounds to pass through without being amplified, leave your ear canal unblocked, eliminate any "tunnel" or "echoing" sensations, and minimize occlusion (hearing the sound of your own voice louder than you are normally used to).
Automatic Feedback cancellation
Annoying feedback or whistling noises are a common side effect with hearing aids. As soon as you place the thin tube in your ear canal, the EarCentric JOY BTE's automatic feedback cancellation system will protect against feedback. An adaptive noise reduction system improves the hearing comfort in noisy environments.
10 bands Layered Noise Reduction
All sounds are not amplified equally. JOY Mini BTE hearing aid provides 10 bands of layered noise reduction, reconstructing natural sound and human voices by eliminating undesired noise while retaining the richness of nature Hi-Fi.
Multi-channel Wide-Dynamic-Range Compression (WDRC)
Multi-channel compression allows the appropriate amount of compression to be applied at different frequencies. It improves the audibility of soft speech sounds by applying more gain (or amplification) to soft sounds. On the other hand, loud sounds, which may be uncomfortable, are reduced. JOY hearing aids selectively boost the low-level, high-frequency sounds associated with human speech recognition.
Low-Level Expansion
With WDRC compression, the hearing aid wearer may find that many low-level environmental noises such as air conditioners, fridges and computer noises are now audible to them. With digital expansion processing, the JOY BTE suppresses these noises to minimal levels.
New JOY hearing aids come with 4 hearing presets for various listening environments:
| # | Hearing Program | Switch Tone |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Quiet setting | 1 beep |
| 2 | Meeting/Restaurant | 2 beeps |
| 3 | Speech Enhancement | 3 beeps |
| 4 | Telephone mode | 4 beeps |
12 Band Frequency Shaping
Generally speaking, for flat or slightly sloping hearing loss, 4 bands provide adequate flexibility for frequency shaping; however, for steeply sloping losses, a greater number of adjustment bands is required. The JOY hearing aid comes with 12 adjustment bands to improve matched target while preventing the occurrence of feedback.
Dirt and Moisture-repellent Surface
JOY is perfect for people who spend time in demanding environments because it keeps the delicate inner workings of your hearing aids safe from dust, perspiration, and humidity. Watertight housing and battery door safeguard against corrosion. Sealed housing. Repels dust, perspiration, and dirt. Shock resistant.
Never Miss the Sound you Love
Sound is always on! The EarCentric JOY will detect low battery conditions and provide a low battery warning signal. A warning signal will sound every 10 minutes, indicating that the battery needs to be replaced to avoid poor performance and device failure.
Uses size #10 hearing aid battery. 5-7 days battery life for normal use based on 8-10 hours each day.

Totally satisfied Review by Roselee Mi...
Rating I got my Joy from MediNinja. It arrived on Easter day and I was to attend an Easter party in a friend’s place. Throughout the day, the device performed wonderfully, and when I got to the party, I was elated. Despite the noisy environment created by the cling of the dozens of people in attendance, and the cutleries and glass cups, the device performed exceptionally well. It produced clear human voice while cancelling out other noise. I don’t know it happened to do this and I don’t care to know. I’m another one for my granddad later today. Thank you!

Wonderful product! Review by Luisa Pitt...
Rating My doctor can read what's on my mind, which is that my hearing was shot. Due to financial difficulties, I couldn't afford even a single one because of the price. but I desperately needed them. I googled and found Medininja while searching on the web. The price was more than fair. After reading all the reviews I thought it was worth the chance. Why not? So, I decided to give them a shot. Well all I can tell you is that it is so nice to hear again! .
And shout-out to Lara who helped me all the way (I caused her so much pain hahaha) in a timely manner. This is a five star product with five star customer service

Wow Review by Elena Emps...
Rating I dedicate my hearing aid to Amy, my granddaughter, who repeats herself no more for me to hear. This is cool and it’s worth it… every single dime! (Posted on 4/18/2016)

I’m in awe Review by Kristel Di...
Rating EarCentric Joy beats my $2300 hearing aid hands down. I came across MediNinja when my previous hearing aid malfunctioned 2 times out of warranty and I was to pay $900 for the repair cost. But who pays that when there is a less expensive option. Thank you (Posted on 4/12/2016)

Life sounds better Review by Silva Grif...
Rating Unlike the previous years, I now eat with my family at the dining table without having to tell anyone to repeat they say. It’s like I’m now part of the family again. I hear the bird sing, no one scream at me again, I watch the late night shows with the family without the need for increased TV volume. Life is back to normal for me. (Posted on 4/5/2016)

I’m hearing better Review by Fae Hoffin...
Rating My audiologist don’t know about this. If he does, he wouldn’t have quoted a bogus price for a unit. When I couldn’t afford the price, I opted for Joy hearing aid after reading about the product reviews I saw online. This is excellent. My bad days of poor hearing are now behind me. Thank you!

Brilliant invention! 100% Invisible 100% Amazing Review by Janet Haug...
Rating My Joy aids got a big upgrade with telephone mode, new tubing and tips. Thank you very much! I’ve been wearing my aids for 2 ½ years now but I couldn’t stand the tails of the tubing that stuck out of my ears, so I cut them off. Because they were uncomfortable, I didn’t wear them as regularly as I should have, but with this new tubing and tips, they fit snugly into my ear with no tails protruding! I have no problem wearing this Behind-the-Ear (BTE) hearing aid the entire day because they are so light and comfortable. This brilliant invention drastically improved my Joy hearing aids.

Rich, crystal-clear sound in a custom design. Review by Darrell Mc...

What hearing loss centres don’t share with their customers! Review by Dianna Spu...
Rating Can you imagine paying $5,000 for a new innovative hearing aid? I couldn’t and even though I did the free trial and they did a fairly good job, they paled in comparison to EarCentric Joy. When I got the correct volume, they were in a class of their own! In settings that are challenging for hearing like auditoriums, restaurants etc., just the standard 1st channel setting on the JOY performed much better compared to the overpriced competition and the overall sound quality is far superior. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! (Posted on 3/20/2016)

Satisfactory! Review by Annice May...
Rating A very nice investment for the money I paid. My 12-year old daughter now hear family members wherever she might be at home. At school, her teacher testified about her improved hearing ability. I’m so happy! (Posted on 3/15/2016)

No more “Whats”! Review by Charlie Sw...
Rating My EarCentric Hearing aids are making my life, and my job, so much easier! As a car salesman, always having to ask the customer to repeat themselves wasn’t selling many cars. Now that I can hear better, I sell more cars and have more fun at work without all of the anxiety and stress of angry customers who couldn’t be heard. I hear them now and am back in the game. Even my boss likes my new hearing aids without the “What’s” any more!It took me a bit to get used to them, but I kept at it and wore them every day. Soon enough, they were like second nature.

After 30 years, we now communicate on phone Review by Neil Chute...
Rating My cousin now has every detail of life added back to him after he was diagnosed with ALS 30 years ago. I somehow got to read some reviews about EarCentric hearing aids product on MediNinja last month. I made the move to order one of the models for him. The product was delivered to him in record time and I could only shed tears of joy when he called me to appreciate me. I don’t know how well to thank you guys! (Posted on 3/8/2016)

Your world alive with the sound! Review by Denise Cam...
Rating The customer service along with the lightning quick shipping has made me a very happy customer! Life is filled with sounds. Soft and loud. Pleasant and some less so. Now I hear all the cheers and can talk and not have to yell. Thanks a million. (Posted on 3/5/2016)

It tackles my severe hearing loss. It’s 100% Amazing! Review by Brent Meik...
Rating Every time I have to tell people that I can’t hear them due to my severe hearing loss, I feel terrible. I never really enjoyed life even during periods when I have purchase expensive hearing aids to help me. Most of them would get damaged even from minimal usage and some did not sound well. I decided to take things into my own hands when my family doctor recommended a $3800 hearing aid. Deep down in me I knew he will still have to recommend another when that one gets damaged. I wouldn’t blame him though. He was only trying to help. After months of surfing the internet and reading countless number of reviews about hearing aids, I opted for Joy 2016. In all honesty, the reason why I bought the Fit model was its affordable price. I knew I have less to lose if it happened to be like those I’ve been using before. I am happy to say EarCentric is 100% amazing. I can now hear what I’ve been missing. I now enjoy life as much as I enjoy hearing. EarCentric, you are the best! (Posted on 3/5/2016)

After making a wrong choice, Joy got me back on my feet! Review by Lucile Dub...
Rating Right from my childhood, my dad taught me to always discard off damaged properties and move on. But now, I know better.
Couple of years ago, I bought an EarCentric Joy hearing aid and could only return the favor it has been showing with bad maintenance. I didn’t keep them dry and was duly rewarded. Going by the philosophy I was taught, I got another hearing aid – not an EarCentric brand this time around! After spending $4000 on another brand of hearing aid, I had to return it because it wasn’t anywhere near what JOY offered. Like the prodigal son, I picked up my damaged Joy and sent it over for repair. And like always before, I am a happy mother whose children don’t have to yell, but talk.

It reignited my love life Review by Raymon Fin...
Rating My girlfriend was getting pissed by my hearing loss. I don’t hear what she says at once. Sometimes, my hearing loss makes my looks as if I was ignoring her intentionally and she was getting tired of this. Our relationship was getting boring and if I don’t profane solution fast, it will evaporate into thin air even before I call “Jack Sparrow!”
The EarCentric Joy was a perfect fit for me considering my budget. As a bartender in a local bar, I dare not chase the class of thousand dollar hearing aid.

I can now hear! Review by Clint Crim...
Rating Had a free hearing exam, I was diagnosed to have moderate loss in one ear, and moderately severe in the other. Suggested I buy two aids for an outrageous price. When I was able to quit laughing I thanked him and left. I already knew I probably needed aids, but have only a small Social Security income. So I ordered the Earcentric Joy about 2 months ago, they took about 10 minutes to get comfortable with, and I have never looked back. Had forgotten that silverware clinks, birds sing, kitchen stuff clanks! I can hear on the phone, have quit saying “What?” I can now hear one person in a roomful of people, which is relieving the isolation that had begun to come from being lost in the unintelligible noise. Thank you so much! (Posted on 2/9/2016)

A Side by Side Comparison Review by Donnie Law...
Rating My previous hearing aids finally succumbed to humidity on a recent vacation we took so I looked into finding a new pair that would work better and give me the level of hearing. I looked into EarCentric and was skeptical as they were inexpensive and that usually means poor quality. My skepticism was unfounded as I received my EarCentric-Joy hearing aids and they worked much better than expected. Shortly after they arrived, my previous pair that had the humidity damage arrived and gave me an opportunity to compare the two pairs side by side. My expensive hearing aids versus my new EarCentric hearing aids. The EarCentric pair won out on price, clarity, comfort and advanced features. My old pair won in terms of smaller size, less feedback and the surround sound feature. With all of these positives for both models, I would still choose my EarCentric hearing aids over any other brand at any cost. It is good to see products like this being offered by a company as good as MediNinja. (Posted on 2/4/2016)
