Jabra Enhance Plus Self-Fitting OTC Hearing Aids

Overview

Beamforming microphones in each earbud capture speech and feed it through powerful speakers, while an app on the iPhone handles self-fitting. The Jabra Enhance Plus doubles as wireless earbuds for calls and music, and a charging case tops them up between wears.

Two jobs in one pair make the case for it: hearing help in conversation and streamed audio from the phone, in a shell small enough to pass for regular earbuds. Phone lock-in is the limit, since it needs an iPhone and does not work with Android at all.

Who it's for

Adults who notice speech getting lost in restaurants or meetings and already carry a recent iPhone. People with severe loss, or who want a professionally fitted device, should see an audiologist instead.

Pros and cons

Performance notes

Speech clarity depends on the mode: Focus aims the beamforming microphones at sounds close to you, Adaptive shifts on its own as the room changes, and Surround lets ambient sound through. Fit governs the rest, because a closed EarGel blocks outside noise while a vented one lets some in, so trying each size matters.
