Audien’s Atom Pro 2 is an easy-to-use, budget-friendly OTC option with excellent battery life, but our hands-on experience and HearAdvisor lab results show weak speech clarity—especially in noise—leaving it a “you get what you pay for” choice for mild needs rather than a true disruptor.
Read full reviewZepp Pixie are a unique OTC hearing aid offering useful wireless app features, a discrete size, near all-day battery life, and more. From a price and performance perspective, Pixie beats Eargo, its closest competitor, on both counts.
Read full reviewAudien Atom Pro 2 achieved a SoundScore of 2.48/5 and a SoundGrade of C in HearAdvisor lab testing. It ranked #45 of 61 OTC Hearing Aid devices tested. The OTC Hearing Aid category average SoundScore was 3.47/5.

Audien Atom Pro 2 hearing aids lack an IP rating, so they might not be the best against moisture or dust. While using them they feel decently built and they do come with an excellent portable charging case.
Zepp Pixie appear to be well built although their IP rating of X7 suggests regular cleaning and maintenance will be key to long-term protection from dust and debris.
They boast a 24-hour battery life, which is impressive for their small size. Recharging is on the longer end and can take up to 5 hours.
With a battery life of 17 hours, Zepp Clarity should last your entire day without needing to recharge. The portable charger is also robust and the added on-the-go power is a nice addition.
The Zepp app offers useful features for customizing the sound quality to your preferences. Be sure to complete the on-ear assessment within the More tab.
I did not find Atom Pro 2 to be the most comfortable OTC in-ear hearing aids. This was likely due to their larger size and not being tailored to a standard ear shape.
I found Zepp Clarity comfortable however, they sit deeper in your ear which may not suit everyone's preferences or needs.
The design of Atom Pro 2 falls between a custom hearing aid and wireless earbud. They are only available in a medical beige color, which is meant to match skin color, but will not suit everyone. The case does include a UV cleaning light which is a nice touch.
Clarity are small and sit almost completely in your ear canals. This can make them very desirable if you are looking for a discrete hearing aid option.
Audien Atom Pro 2 has a value score of 3.6/5 based on lab performance and public display price.
Zepp Clarity Pixie has a value score of 3.1/5 based on lab performance and public display price.
I found Atom easy to use though they can be more challenging to insert and remove due to the small pull tab. Two features I really liked were the larger program buttons and easy to use portable charger.
Some may find the smaller size of Pixie more difficult to handle and see, especially if you have limited finger dexterity and or low vision.
Like many OTC products, Audien does not offer remote assistance from hearing experts, support is limited to email and phone customer support.
Zepp currently offers technical assistance via phone, email, or directly through the Zepp mobile app. Additionally, the Support tab provides a helpful Q&A section should you need assistance.
