“For years, I thought hearing aid technology had plateaued in handling speech in noisy, challenging environments—until I experienced Fortell’s AI in a busy New York café and realized it could be meaningfully better.”
"I joined Fortell because it brings together meaningful innovation, rigorous clinical thinking, and patient-centered care. Fortell is redefining what patients can expect from hearing care."
"I've spent 16 years in this field watching hearing aids fall short of what patients truly deserved. That's why I joined Fortell. This isn't incremental improvement, it's a fundamentally better approach to hearing care. This is the future of audiology, and I want to help build it."
"I was drawn not only to the quality of the hearing technology Fortell offered, but also to the company's commitment to exceptional patient care. Fortell recognizes that every patient deserves the time, attention, and individualized care needed to provide the best possible experience and outcomes."
What It Is
Fortell Anywhere is Fortell’s virtual audiology clinic, giving you access to licensed audiologists from the comfort of home. Your audiologist can fit and fine-tune your Fortell AI Hearing Aids, answer questions, and provide ongoing care, no clinic visit required.
The biggest difference is location — yours. You’ll meet with your audiologist over Zoom, and they’ll guide you through every step, from setup to fitting and fine-tuning. Your hearing aids can be adjusted in real time using the same fitting software we use in our clinics.
Eligibility
Virtual care works well for many people with straightforward hearing loss. To be eligible, you’ll need to:
- Have an iPhone or iPad that supports the Fortell app
- Provide a diagnostic audiogram completed within the last 6 months
- Not have severe-to-profound hearing loss or very poor word recognition (below 65%)
- Not have medical needs that require an in-person evaluation
It’s also helpful to be comfortable with basic video calls and able to handle small hearing-aid parts, like domes and wax guards.
Some symptoms or conditions are better evaluated in person, including sudden hearing loss, ear pain or drainage, dizziness, or visible ear blockage. If that applies to you, we’ll help you determine the right next step before moving forward.
Fortell Anywhere is available in most U.S. states. It isn’t currently offered in a few states, including Florida, Kansas, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, New Mexico, New York and Oregon. During your intro call, we'll confirm availability where you live.
Clinical Care
We require a diagnostic audiogram completed within the last 6 months. This is a full hearing test performed by a licensed hearing professional, not an online hearing screening.
Don’t have a recent one? No problem. Mention it during your intro call and we can help you find a provider near you.
Yes. You’ll meet with your audiologist over Zoom for a personalized fitting appointment. They’ll guide you through setup, check that your hearing aids fit properly and comfortably, and can run a fit test through the Fortell app to verify proper placement. Your audiologist will then program and fine-tune your hearing aids virtually using the same professional fitting software we use in our clinics. Adjustments can be delivered directly to your devices through the Fortell app.
Cost & Coverage
Fortell doesn’t bill insurance directly, but some plans may reimburse you for out-of-network hearing care. We’re happy to provide the paperwork you need to submit a claim. We recommend checking with your insurance provider to understand your specific coverage and requirements.
No. Your audiology care — virtual or in person — is included with your Fortell AI Hearing Aids for five years, with appointments as often as needed.

- A three-year comprehensive warranty

Full details are available here.
You have 100 days to experience Fortell in the places that matter most to you — at home, at restaurants, with family and friends, and everywhere in between. If they aren’t right for you, you can return them within the trial period for a refund. Full details are available here.
Getting Started & Ongoing Care
Your Fortell AI Hearing Aids are programmed to your audiogram before they ship, so they’ll already be calibrated to your hearing profile when they arrive.
Inside the box, you’ll find your hearing aids, charging case, and everything you need for your fitting. Charge your devices before your appointment, then your audiologist will walk you through the rest live on Zoom.
Most virtual visits take 30 to 60 minutes. You can schedule directly through the link on this page, and we’ll send you everything you need to prepare.
Just reach out to your care team. Follow-up adjustments can be discussed over Zoom and delivered directly to your devices through the Fortell app at your convenience. Follow-up care is included in the cost of your hearing aids for five years.
Absolutely. Fortell Anywhere patients are always welcome at any Fortell clinic. Virtual and in-person care work together, so you can move between the two however works best for you.
Absolutely. We encourage it. Having someone you trust on the call can be helpful, especially during your first fitting.
