Check out our comparison of the Jabra Enhance Select 500 vs Lucid Hearing Tala. Listen to audio samples and see how the two hearing aids differ in terms of sound performance, features, accessories, and more.
Summary
The Jabra Enhance Select 500 earned a SoundGrade of A and ranked in the top 5% of devices tested by HearAdvisor. With GN Resound technology, it has an IP68 rating, 30-hour battery life, and reliable Bluetooth. While streaming audio quality was not high-fidelity, the Jabra Enhance App offers good audio personalization. The device includes telehealth and remote programming, though support response times were slower than expected. Lightweight and compact, with larger buttons for ease of use, the receiver-in-canal design may take some adjustment.
The Lucid Tala is a new over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid priced at $1,299.99 per pair, designed to enhance speech clarity and offer wireless streaming for both iOS and Android devices. While it features customizable sound settings through the Lucid Hearing app and boasts a 16-hour battery life, it lacks ear-level controls and has subpar Bluetooth audio quality, making it a mixed bag for users.
