Handling
I found M3 easy to use, though receiver-in-canal devices can take practice at the start. Pro support can assist, and the charging case is one of the best on the market.

Pro Support
Jabra has arguably the best pro support offering among OTC devices. They provide 3 years of telehealth audiologic services including remote programming and video appointments. While I'd prefer in-person appointments, Jabra continues to bridge the gap given the limitations of remote care.

Accessories
Compatible accessories for each hearing aid
Charging Station
A plug-in charger for everyday use at home, with magnetic slots that hold your Reach R Plus hearing aids in place. It provides a full charge in around four hours and supports 30-minute top-ups. The hearing aids switch off when inserted and on when removed; the charging cable is fixed.
Travel Charger+1
A portable charging case with a built-in battery that provides up to three hearing aid charges away from a power outlet. It charges Reach R Plus in around four hours, supports 30-minute top-ups, and automatically switches the hearing aids off and on as you insert and remove them. The case recharges via USB-C.
Charging+ Station
A charger with built-in drying and UV cleaning to help care for your Reach R Plus hearing aids between uses. It supports 30-minute top-ups and automatically switches the hearing aids off when you insert them and back on when you remove them.
Universal Cable Charger
A compact, lightweight charger that connects directly to the charging contacts on your hearing aids. Removable sleeves make it easier to clean the contacts, and an optional stand helps keep the charger steady. Compatible with Reach R Plus and several other rechargeable Rexton models.
Reach CROS R-Li T BC
A rechargeable CROS transmitter designed to pair with Reach R Plus for people whose hearing in one ear cannot benefit from a conventional hearing aid. Worn on that side, it picks up sound and sends it wirelessly to the hearing aid on the better-hearing ear. In a BiCROS fitting, that hearing aid also amplifies sound to address hearing loss in the better ear.
Unite Phone Clip++2
Small enough to clip onto your shirt collar, it streams phone calls and audio to your hearing aids from any Bluetooth-enabled mobile phone or smartphone.
Smart Key
Smart Key is a pocket-sized remote with dedicated buttons for changing volume and listening programs without using a smartphone. A keyring keeps it handy, and a lock switch prevents accidental button presses in a pocket or bag. Rexton advises against pairing Smart Key and the Rexton App to the same hearing aids, because the app can erase the remote pairing.
Multi Mic+3
A flexible remote microphone that can either be clipped to clothes or used as a tabletop mic for meetings. Use the mini-jack input for streaming audio from a music player to your hearing aids.
Rexton App+1
The free Rexton App for iPhone and Android lets you adjust volume, switch listening programs, fine-tune sound balance, and check hearing aid battery levels from your phone. Rexton Assist offers personalized sound adjustments based on your feedback, while TeleCare enables remote support and adjustments from participating hearing care providers. Available controls depend on your hearing aid settings; Rexton Assist does not support CROS fittings.
Unite TV Streamer 2
Streams stereo sound from the television directly to your hearing aids from up to 22 feet away.
TV Sound
TV Sound sends stereo audio from a television or sound system directly to your Reach R Plus hearing aids. It connects to the audio source through an optical or analog output and supports several hearing aid users listening at once. LED indicators show pairing and streaming status, and the Rexton App lets you adjust streaming volume.
