As the accessibility marketplace continues to grow, more brands than ever continue to find new and exciting ways to design products with adaptive living in mind. In the world of toys, makeup, and over-the-counter hearing aids, former frustrations with dexterity, hearing loss, mobility, and other conditions melt away to allow anyone and everyone to enjoy the best parts of life.
The hard truth is that much of the accessibility landscape relies on costly medical devices that never drop in price, but these Amazon Prime Day deals this October offer great savings on some of the best adaptive gear we’ve tested this year.
Are you prepared to scoop up some serious deals (we've hunted through the whole Amazon site to find the best big deals across the board of this biannual event?
Below you’ll find lowest-ever price cuts on 2023’s best-sounding OTC hearing aid and sweet savings on one of the best social learning toys we’ve ever tried.
These accessible and adaptive products allow people to reach new heights with no stress on your wallet.
1. Eargo 7 OTC Hearing Aids
The Eargo 7 are somewhat expensive compared to other similar products, so saving 14% is huge.
There are lots of new over-the-counter hearing aids on the market, but the flagship Eargo 7 hearing aids are some of the best we’ve ever tested.
After charging these devices, simply run through the supremely effective Sound Match hearing test to tailor these discreet devices to your hearing profile. These OTC hearing aids aren’t the cheapest you’ll find, but their Sound Adjust+ noise reduction offers incredible sound clarity that’s well worth the price.
2. Vibes Earplugs
These virtually invisible ear plugs sit comfortably within the ear canal to reduce loud noise levels during work, focused learning, and more.
People with noise sensitivity or those prone to sensory overload can benefit greatly from a nice pair of earplugs. With regard to comfort and value especially, Vibes High-Fidelity earplugs are among our favorites. They offer about 22 decibels of noise reduction, which works well for providing silence during work hours. Though these plugs may be a little too strong for use during conversation, their lightweight and soft design will make you feel cozy in the most hectic of environments.
3. Nettch Sony RM-EZ4 2 Universal Remote
Save 40% on the Nettch Sony RM-EZ4 2-Device Universal Remote with this Prime Day deal.
Between cable boxes, Blu-ray players, and a wide variety of streaming devices, it’s no secret that the TV remotes we use every day have begun to feel a bit unwieldy. If there’s someone in your house who’s easily confused by an endless sea of buttons, the Nettch Sony RM-EZ4 2 universal remote is one of the better universal alternatives. In our testing, we found the product best suited for those who prefer to manipulate a small-size remote. It’s got a simplified, accessible design tailored to those who only use their TV for basic functions.
4. Hand2Mind See My Feelings Mirror
Save 54% on the Hand2mind See My Feelings Mirror with this October Prime Day deal
The brilliantly designed Hand2Mind See My Feelings mirror is an excellent social learning toy for toddlers who struggle to understand emotions and social cues. While the product looks like a standard salon mirror, it’s outfitted with six colorful tabs that, when pulled, display large photos of children expressing specific emotions. After observing other kids who are feeling happy, sad, angry, or silly, your little one can practice their own expressions in the mirror.
5. Stride Rite Journey 2 Adaptable Sneakers
Discounts depend on the size you need for the Stride Rite's Journey 2 Adaptable Sneakers with this limited-time Amazon deal
Finding shoes that can easily and comfortably fit over a brace or AFO can be a daunting task. Instead of leaving customers to buy shoes that are way too big, Stride Rite has designed a shoe made specifically for this exact use case. The Journey 2 adaptable sneakers can be customized by removing a layer of the sole or cutting the Velcro closures to the perfect length. These shoes are durable and come in a style that doesn’t scream, “ADAPTIVE ITEM,” which goes a long way toward making both kids and adults alike feel included.
6. Lego Friends Organic Grocery Store
The Lego Friends grocery store comes with 2023 series characters Leo, Autumn, Jordin and Isaac mini-dolls, plus a younger sister Alba, and a Churro the cat figurine.
It’s huge for kids to be able to see themselves in the media they watch and the toys they play with. While we are seeing more diversity across the board, finding disability representation in toys can be tough. Lego has introduced several disabled characters to the lineup, and their disabilities include ADHD, limb difference, anxiety, Down syndrome, vitiligo, and more. In the Lego Friends Organic Grocery Store set, characters of all abilities go about their daily lives buying, selling, and delivering healthy food for the community.
7. Migraine Relief Cap
The All Sett Health Migraine Relief Cap has a one-piece wrap design that offers soothing positive compression to alleviate pounding headaches.
Anyone who's ever had a migraine knows how debilitating these headaches can be. There are many supposed migraine remedies out there, but this Migraine Relief Cap that we tried actually did make a dent in our pain. The cap fits over your entire head and covers your face down to your nose. It can be heated or cooled to deliver whichever treatment is most effective for you. It may do a number on your hair, but at well under $20, it’s worth a try for any migraine sufferer.
8. Threshold Ramp
Save 20% on the Rampit Empower Series Rubber Threshold Ramp with this Amazon Prime Day deal
Adapting a home to someone with a disability can be an expensive affair, but there are also modifications that make a huge difference without costing an arm and a leg. Thresholds in particular can be difficult for those with mobility struggles and/or wheelchairs. Thresholds can be safety hazards, but with the right products, this problem is an easy fix. These threshold ramps come in a variety of widths, depths, and thicknesses, and they can be easily installed in doorways to enable smoother transitions between rooms. If raised surfaces are causing a problem for you or your loved one, a threshold ramp is definitely worth trying.
