What people are saying
4.8 out of 5. Individual experiences may vary
Twenty minutes while I read, no buttons to work out. At my age that is exactly what I wanted from a gadget.

The last one I had only worked plugged into the wall. This one I charge once a week and forget about it.

The small tips were the ones that fit me. Comfortable enough that I stop noticing it after a minute.

Sound familiar?
If the last gadget you bought lives in a drawer...
It only worked plugged in
The battery stopped holding a charge within a month and it turned into something tethered to a wall socket.
The tips never fit
One hard size that either fell out when you moved or hurt after five minutes. So you stopped putting it in.
Too many buttons and modes
Three settings, a manual in six point type, and by the second week it was in the drawer with the rest of them.
Twenty Minutes a Day. Nothing Else to Do.
The full specification, the fit and how the daily session works. Individual experiences may vary.
650 nm
red light, at 5 mW per emitter
20 min
one session a day, hands free and button free
15 h
of use per charge, topped up over USB-C in about two hours
I put it in after dinner and read for twenty minutes. It is a comfortable, warm little routine and it has stuck, which is more than I can say for the last three things I bought.

Questions, answered
Everything you might be wondering
01What does this device actually do?
It runs a 20-minute session of 650 nm red light, at 5 mW per emitter, from two LEDs that sit in your ears. That is the full description of what it does, and we are deliberately not going further than that. You will find pages selling devices like this one with promises attached to them. We are not making any, because we have no evidence to put behind them. What you are buying is the device, the session and how it feels: warm, quiet and undemanding. If anything about your ears concerns you, please speak to a healthcare professional. That is worth more than anything on this page.
02How do I use it?
Choose the tip size that sits comfortably, put the device in, and let one session run for 20 minutes, once a day. There are no buttons, no modes and nothing to configure, which is the point: most people buying this do not want to learn a device, they want to put it in and read for twenty minutes.
03Will the tips fit my ears?
There are three sizes in the box: two pairs of universal silicone tips and one small pair. They are meant to rest gently in the outer part of the ear canal, not to seal it and not to go deep. If a tip only feels secure when you push it further in, it is the wrong tip. Try the next size instead.
04What about the battery and charging?
A 500 mAh battery, 12 to 15 hours of use per charge, and about two hours to charge fully over USB-C with the same kind of cable as most phones. It runs off the battery rather than needing to stay plugged in, which is the single most common complaint about the cheaper devices in this category.
05Who should not use it?
Do not use it if you have an ear infection, a perforated eardrum, ear pain, discharge or irritation, or if you have had ear surgery, unless a healthcare professional tells you it is fine. Never push the device deeper into the ear canal, do not look directly into the LEDs, and stop using it if you feel any discomfort. It is for adults, and it is not a toy: keep it away from children.
06Is this a medical device?
No. It is a consumer wellness device. It is not a medical device, it is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any condition, and it is not a substitute for professional care or for anything a professional has recommended to you. If you have a medical concern about your ears, see a professional first and buy this afterwards, if you still want it.
