Elehear’s $599 Beyond Pro is a feature-packed, self-fitting OTC hearing aid that delivers clear, natural sound and strong speech-in-noise performance for the price—and in my opinion, while it’s not flawless, I was genuinely impressed by how much value and real-world performance it offers for the money.

The Elehear app has a user-friendly interface and modern, appealing design. It includes practical features like volume control and a tone balance from Brighter to Deeper. At this time, Beyond are "preset-based", though you can get a more customized fit using their ElePro feature.
I found the Jabra app easy to use and filled with useful features, though it lacks health and fitness tracking.
I found Beyond Pro fairly comfortable in spite of their larger body size. Be sure to test various ear tips to find optimal comfort and hearing benefit. You may want to try the included tulip domes as the default closed domes plug your ear significantly.
Jabra Enhance Pro 20 were extremely comfortable and lightweight in my ears. In general, hearing care providers can make numerous physical changes to prescription hearing aids like Real to improve comfort.
Beyond have a more modern receiver-in-canal design, although the body size is larger than many other hearing aids. While this should not effect comfort much, it may make them more noticeable based on your ear size and hairstyle.
Jabra Enhance Pro 20 are sleek, smaller than ever, and modern looking prescription hearing aids. They also allow you to customize the look of your hearing aids with an array of color options.

I did not run into any issues while using Beyond Pro or the Elehear mobile app. First-time users may need some practice to get accustomed to inserting the receiver-in-ear style properly.
Jabra Enhance Pro 20 are easy to use and adjust using either the multi-function button or the Jabra app. I had no issues making adjustments with either.
Unlike many OTC devices, remote support from licensed audiologists is available through the ElePro app feature. This offers several benefits, but one we particularly liked was the ability for Elehear providers to recommend program settings based on their app or web based hearing assessment.
Prescription hearing aids like Jabra Enhance Pro 20 are fit by hearing care providers so you should receive quality care. The Jabra app also opens the possibility for remote programming and virtual follow-up appointments.
