Lexie Lumen hearing aids boast a good IP67 ingress rating, with a build that's better than other OTC products but not as robust as newer prescription models. The buttons are reliable, though the slimtube design feels a bit outdated.
All Day Clear have an ingress protection rating of 68, meaning they offer impressive protection against moisture and debris. They feel well built in hand and the case, while on the larger side, offers good storage protection and should hold up to daily use.
You may be disappointed that Lumen are not rechargeable and require a disposable 312 battery. However, the batteries should last you several days, and can offer greater convenience at times, though this makes them more susceptible to water damage.
All Day Clear last up to 20 hours per charge, meaning they should last your entire day.

I found All Day Clear to offer easy and stable wireless connection. Their audio quality while streaming music, and during hands-free calling, was decent and comparable to other hearing aids in this price range.
The Lexie app provides good features without being too complicated. Personalizing Lumen with the in-app hearing test is also a nice touch and highly recommended.
The All-Day Clear app is straightforward and offers useful customization like volume control, programs, and a 3-Band EQ. It is missing more advanced features commonly found in other products like directional microphone controls and health tracking.
I found Lexie comfortable though the slimtubes are more noticeable than the newer earwire receivers. The body is also larger than many new hearing aids though this did not drastically effect comfort.
I found All Day Clear comfortable, even with prolonged wear times, and did not experience any retention issues.
The design is slightly older, featuring slimtubes and disposable batteries. Despite this, the hearing aids, multi-function buttons, and app function well together.
Sennheiser All Day Clear look and feel like modern prescription hearing aids in an OTC package.
Lexie Lumen has a value score of 4.2/5 based on lab performance and public display price.
Sennheiser All Day Clear has a value score of 4.6/5 based on lab performance and public display price.
Behind-the-ear hearing aids like the Lumen can be tricky to handle at first, but most people can use them without issue with practice. Some users might find changing disposable batteries inconvenient compared to rechargeable options.
All Day Clear are fairly easy to use receiver-in-canal style hearing aids and I did not run into any usability issues while trying them. One things worth noting is that, while the case works well, it does not have an internal battery and must be plugged in to charge.
Like most OTC products, Lumen do not include in-person care. However, Lexie does offer remote support from their hearing experts along with a unique incentivizing reward system.
All Day Clear are self-fit OTC hearing aids, intended to be by you in the comforts of your home. However, Sennheiser offers an in-office option where they can be programmed by a provider like more traditional prescription devices.
