Eargo Smart Hearing Aids ($2,995)

One in eight people in the United States over the age of 12 suffers from hearing loss, but many people shy away from bulky hearing aids. Eargo creates award-winning hearing aids that are comfortable and discreet, letting you say hello to a world of sound without shouting it from the rooftops. Eargo hearing aids have rechargeable batteries that charge in their case, just like AirPods. Plus, the iPhone-compatible app lets you personalize settings for different listening environments with the tap of a button.

The Withings ScanWatch isn’t just a smart watch, it’s a compact health tracker with FDA-cleared features.
