Customer Ratings & Reviews

The device is a good start but it lacks everything else. Jabra maybe a renowned Danish offshoot of GN but the danish did not get it right. He prodcut allows an increase in normal volume enhancements but the product broke down and didn’t charge after a month. Unacceptably so I cant give them my support as a consumer for the shoddy manufacturing and quality control. Good bye Enhance plus!

My hearing has been steadily declining for several years. The tell was when a friend invited me out for coffee and I made excuses because I just can't hear properly any more in a Starbucks or restaurant. I knew I needed to do something, but my only experience with hearing aids is either those worn by my Grandparents or they are prohibitively expensive. Enter the Jabra Enhance Plus. These things are small, incredibly small. People would struggle to see you are wearing because the fit very well into your ear. Pairing was a little more complicated than usual, because you're pairing this as an assistive hearing device not as a normal Bluetooth headset. The free Jabra Enhance app walks you through the process. The Enhance app is critical to getting the best results out of the Jabra Enhance, as it does hearing tests and checks you have the proper earbud seal. You also use the Enhance app to modify the microphones (Adaptive, Focus, Surround). As a personal preference, I prefer focus. What's great about the Jabra Enhance is double as assistive hearing aids and a Bluetooth earphones. In my tests, voice calls were good, as were podcasts but when it comes to music they sound wasn't right - hard to know if that's because my hearing isn't great (ha!) or that the speakers are just better tuned to voice. In terms of battery life, I'm getting about a day, I put them on when I get to work and take them out when I head home. The case does charge them and Jabra claim 12+ hours of use and 30+ hours if you charge throughout the day. I see no reason to doubt that based on my use. For what it's worth, the case does charge using USB C. Comfort was also great. I didn't need to change the tips, but if you do, Jabra include many different sizes. Overall, impressed, happy, and would recommend. Now I can finally eat out at restaurants again and have a conversation instead of just smiling and nodding!

Amplified sound and noise . Didn’t act like a hearing aid!

I will start by saying that I have moderate tinnitus due to many years of going to loud concerts and playing drums. If I am one on one with someone, I usually don't have a lot of problem hearing. But if there is any ambient noise in the room or I'm in a crowded space, it is nearly impossible for me to have a conversation with someone because I simply can't hear them. So, I was very excited to give these new hearing aids a try to see if they helped me out. I will also say I have never used any kind of hearing aids in the past so I don't really have anything to compare these to. Right out of the box they look and feel just like an average pair of earbuds. Although they are a bit smaller than the earbuds I have worn in the past. I guess they try to keep them as low profile as possible so they aren't very noticeable. They come in a case with a battery in it so even if you are on the go and you're not anywhere near an outlet, you can still put them back in their case and they will recharge (as long as the case is charged). They claim up to 12 hours on a single charge and up to 35 hours when charging them in the case as well. I can tell you that I wore them for the majority of a day (probably 8 hours) and had no problems with the battery life. They worked perfectly and I didnt notice any decrease in volume or performance as the day went on. Setting them up was fairly easy. At the time of writing this, you need to have an iPhone in order to use them, so check out the spec sheet carefully before buying to make sure your phone and operating system is compatible. Getting them paired with your phone is very straightforward. You just download the app and go through the steps on the screen and you will be ready to go in no time. The app helps customize the hearing aids to your needs and there are a few different modes you can use it in based on your needs. You can always go through the setup process again if you find they aren't quite meeting your needs. They come with a few different size ear tips to make sure you get the best fit for your ears. You don't want them too loose or they might fall out, or too tight which can cause ear pain with extended use. I was able to find ones that fit perfectly. I will say, if you have never used hearing aids before, there is definitely an adjustment period. You won't be able to wear them for extended periods right out of the gate. Maybe wear them for a couple hours, take them out for a bit, then wear them again for a while. Eventually you will get used to it and be able to wear them all day. Now I will get into the sound. Right off the bat you will definitely notice a huge improvement in your hearing. I started out using it in the focus mode with a TV and radio on in the room since that's what I usually have the most problems with. I am happy to report that while its not perfect, it definitely helped me to be able to hear a person I was talking to a LOT better! I was kind of shocked at how it was able to focus on that person and let me hear them better. So as far as the hearing aid part goes, they definitely work as advertised! Another cool feature is that these connect to your bluetooth devices. Meaning you can take phone calls through them as well as listen to music and podcasts. This is great if you struggle hearing on the phone. These definitely make the sound clearer than regular earbuds do. The music quality through them is good. It didn't blow me away, but it was definitely listenable. Overall, I am very impressed with these hearing aids. Definitely cheaper than prescription ones, and they worked great for me. Obviously your results may vary based on your level of hearing loss. But I would definitely give them a try before going the prescription route!

So i gave this the best try. First, I did the test following the instructions to the letter. I know from experience low tones are the most difficult for me to hear. I did not have low tones enhanced, but the clicks of a computer mouse was enhanced as well as other high pitched background sounds. Next, I could hear my own voice and chewing despite using a vented gel. I reached out to support and obviously received a response from a bot

They sound good when they work properly. But not worth it to me. First problem I ran into was trying to set them up with the app and getting it personalized. When you first get started, the app gets you to a point that it will personalize them for you by making you take a hearing test. It first makes you do the right ear and does a pretest to the test. After that, you take a test to personalize that ear. Then it repeats for the left ear. My left ear is way worse and so the pretest I could not even hear a tone. So, at end of the pretest it verifies I am still there. I click continue then take the test. every time after the test I then would get a message saying something like it was interrupted and it would make me restart with both ears all over again. After a few times I was frustrated so I took them out and would come back to it. After several times, I finally got them to finish. My advice, at least do each ear, and save. It would have been a lot better if I did not have to keep repeating both ears. Maybe even an option to be able to skip this part and maybe customize on own. Or maybe some presets like being able to say what your hearing loss is about per ear. like in multiples of 5. And have personalize that way. So, in my case, I could set left ear to 90 percent loss, right ear to 40 and then maybe play a message in one ear and then the other and then both to compare and if left ear sounded louder than the right ear, can bump right ear to 45 etc. Another issue I keep having is for some reason now and then when I take them out of my ear and put them in the case, they don't always charge up. couple times now I would take them out and one side would be at 100 percent but the other would be at 50 percent or whatever it was at even though they feel like they are in the case. I have to place them in and see if the light on the ear buds come on. if it does not, I have to pull that one ear bud out and re place it back in. Sound. Like I mentioned, when they are working, they are great. I like that you can select different modes as needed. Like surround sound, or you can focus to the front. But they would work great for about 10 minutes and then after that seem to cut off at times. It would only be for a couple seconds then work for a few minutes and repeat. I wore these in a few different environments and got the same results. But like I said, when they do work and with the personalization, sound seemed equal thru both ears. My right ear is about a 40 percent loss depending on tone. Left ear is 90 percent. So, I am always having to turn my head in direction I want to listen. But with these, I did not have to do that. How do they feel. This is actually one thing that is good about these so far. Granted for me not as much because I have a defect in my left ear that has a lump were these would sit at causing them to come out of my ear more. But compared to other ear buds I have tried, these felt good. Normally ear buds instantly come out of my left ear. But these ones stayed for a decent time before I would have to push them back in. For me, I would have like too have had them go behind the ear or straight out like ear plugs. But for my right ear, no issues at all. Sound as far as using them for music, movies etc. They were not all that great. The concept of these sounded great. Hearing aid and ear buds for your music, calls etc. all in one. But the outcome not so much. The types of environments I used these in. Outside, in a car, church, industrial work, office and then just being at home.

I will preface my review with saying that this is the first hearing aid I have ever used, so I can't really compare it to others. I have had mild hearing loss for several years now, and have been curious about trying a hearing aid, but never pulled the trigger before. Right off the bat, I was very intrigued by these because I have owned Jabra products before and have been very pleased, and these look just like some of their earphones, only smaller. When I first opened them up, they were even smaller than I was expecting. This may be a problem for some people, as even I had a little bit of trouble putting them in and out of my ears. But after doing it a few times, you kind of get the hang of it. So in the box, they come with the charging case and 6 total sets of ear tips. Small, Medium, and large in both vented and non-vented styles. I'll cover the difference in a bit. I ended up using the large tips since I have a bit larger ear canals than most. It's important to take the time to find the right fitting tips, since you will likely be wearing these for hours at a time, and want them to be comfortable. Not to mention that having the right fit/seal allows for the best sound quality. Once you have the right fit, you can download the Jabra Enhance app and go through the setup process. Which was very straightforward and simple enough to do if you are at all familiar with using a smartphone. It even goes through a quick personalization step where it plays a series of tones and you tap when you hear the tone, and it customizes the profile to your hearing. That was a nice unexpected touch. Performance of these hearing aids was pretty great in my experience, although, a little odd at first. To begin, I tried the non-vented ear tips, which is what Jabra recommends to start with for the best sound quality. This part is correct. Sound quality was great, and I could clearly hear even faint sounds. Streaming audio quality from my phone was only OK. I was a bit disappointed with this. I was hoping they'd be at least on par with other Jabra earphones, but they sounded very compressed and "tinny". The odd part came when I was having conversations with others. When you speak, you have a weird, muffled, "in-your-head" sensation, that was pretty distracting to me. I almost felt like I was probably speaking louder than normal, just so I could overcome this and hear my own voice better. To alleviate this, Jabra recommends using the vented ear tips. So I tried those next, and it is a night a day difference. I could clearly hear myself and it all just felt much more natural. However, the sound quality using the vented ear tips takes a major hit. And the most distracting part, is that when the hearing aid picks up fainter noises, such as crinkling paper, it seemed to over-enhance these noises, and they really stuck out and were very distracting. I only noticed this phenomenon with the vented ear tips. So while I preferred the way my own voice sounded while using the vented ear tips, everything else was better with the non vented tips. I think the more I use the non vented ones, the more I'll get used to them and talking will feel more natural. Overall I am just very happy with them. One last drawback I see is that they are iPhone only. I really want to recommend them to my father in-law, but he uses android and won't switch just for a hearing aid. I would really prefer if they could work with either phone. Other than those few small issues, I think the Jabra Enhance Plus is a great option for people wild mild hearing loss.

The Jabra Enhance Plus Hearing Aids (medical grade) feature an ultra-compact, unobtrusive design that incorporates precision microphones, combined with state of the art noise reduction algorithms that reduce background noise, while the innovative microprocessor technology greatly enhances the spoken word. The Jabra Enhance Plus Hearing Aids are water and dust resistant, so come rain or dust storm, they function well. Jabra is a part of the GN Group, which also includes conventional hearing aids and office headsets as part of their portfolio. They bring over 150 years to making the audio environment better, opening up a new world of sound. I opted for the Gold / Beige version (gray is also available as a color). They look like high end ultra-small audio earbuds – not hearing-aids. The quality of construction is high, being solid, durable and controlled by well thought out bud resident controls or the functional and easy to use app. The earbuds are easy to set up and operate. They are about half the size of Jabra’s excellent non-hearing aid earbuds. They have given me around a half day of use (12 hours) without needing to place them in the pocketable charging case. You can also use one earbud while the other is charging. The Adaptive, Focus and Surround Modes, can be adapted to your environment and hearing needs. They are comfortable, produce great audio and do not fall or (at least mine don’t).

So, to frame a bit of my situation, after decades of loud music and concerts (and only within the last ten years after an especially loud Michael Schenker reunion tour) did I even start wearing hearing protection at concerts. I was always prepared for a day or two of white like noise following a show when I was much younger. In the last ten years of having a pretty annoying case of tinnitus (especially in my right ear) I have started to ask “what” and accused my spouse of mumbling. While going to the audiologist revealed very little hearing loss, he didn’t really have a solution. In comes the Jabra - Enhance Plus Self-fitting OTC Hearing Aids, figured I would give them a try. They are small tan colored earbuds from Jabra a name I usually associated with higher end earbuds or headsets. These hearing aids come with a tan charging case which will provide them with a charging source for subsequent charging, with a capacity to charge an addition two or three complete charge cycles for the pair of hearing aids/buds. The hearing aids/buds seem to get about twelve hours out of a charging cycle. The setup was fairly easy and they paired to my iPhone without issue, but using the accessibility options instead of the normal Bluetooth pairing method. As for how they work, for a few days I used them without installing or using the Jabra Enhance app and they worked fairly well in a large crowded environment, but not as much as I had hoped. After using the app and performing setup process the experience was much improved. The setup process goes through a series of tone tests in your right and then left ear. As far as I could tell I heard all the test tones and responded appropriately by acknowledging a tone in the app. After that step, the app went through what essentially was a small conversation in a restaurant, that is where it allowed you to set the most appropriate mode for you situation “Focus, Adaptive or Surround”, I found the Adaptive setting worked best in most scenarios, however focus did seem to provide a better experience if you were having a conversation with someone close by. In any case the setup routine didn’t really identify specific hearing issues as it indicated that my hearing appeared to be responsive in high, medium and low ranges. As how do these work in real life, mixed – maybe it is a huge hearing changing event when you have some type of hearing assist, perhaps my hearing was muted for too long. But I did find everyday activities (such as typing this on a mechanical keyboard) to be interesting, even washing my hands I could hear the water splashing in the sink. As for television or music listening, that was a bit mixed, although clear, it sound unnatural (again perhaps me not realizing my hearing changes over time). In any case, I am not sure I am going to wear these full time, but for certain situations they do seem to make a big difference. Pros: - Immediately opens a new audio world for people that never used a hearing augmentation device before - Easy setup and tuning features in the iOS app - they look like small earbuds (although the color may not match your particular skin tone) - nice charging case - over the counter, no prescription needed - relatively inexpensive in comparison to standard hearing aids - comes with other size earbud fittings Cons: - music and television sound a bit unnatural - initially the flood of environmental sounds that you may have been missing is a bit startling - chewing, coughing and hearing yourself talk is a bit strange - what happens when the earbud batteries are no longer chargeable? - music played through them has no low range, these are not an earbud replacements - currently they seem to require an iOS devices to setup and tune.

Had these hearing aids for a month. Very pleased with the sound quality and ability to adjust to my surroundings. Would definitely recommend!

The Jabra Enhance Plus Hearing Aids are a decent pair of OTC hearing aids usable by anyone with mild to moderate hearing loss. They are quite a bit larger than other OTC or prescribed hearing aids, they are more earbud sized than hearing aid sized, but rather than using replaceable batteries this uses rechargeable batteries that recharge using the included carrying case. Inside of the packaging are the case with hearing aids inside, a total of 6 different replaceable ear tips, charging cable, and documentation. The ear tips are available in a total of 3 different sizes with either a closed or vented design, the vented design is good if you feel like your voice is muted or if it sounds like you are in a enclosed space the vented tips help alleviate this feeling and allow you to hear your own voice more naturally. My biggest complaint with these hearing aids is that they are more similar to earbuds with a "transparent" setting which allows you to hear background noise in an amplified manner, the one advantage that these have over earbuds is that you are able to customize a hearing profile that makes everything sound better for your particular hearing issues. What I don't like about them being more similar to earbuds is their size, these are smaller than most earbuds but are significantly larger than traditional hearing aids. You can use these as just regular earbuds since they are connected to your phone, I was not impressed with the sound quality though as it all sounded a bit muddled compared to my usual earbuds. The one thing to be aware of is the fact that these are only usable with iPhone devices with it requiring an iPhone 11 or later specifically as it leverages Apple's new hearing aid accessibility settings and these are only available on newer iPhones apparently. This allows compatible hearing aids, such as the Jabra Enhance Plus, to work like Apple's earbuds with device handoff and system sounds being played through your hearing aids so that you can hear them more easily as they will play through your hearing aid like traditional earbuds. Overall, these are not bad devices, but if you are looking for more traditional hearing aids these probably aren't the best pick, but if you want earbuds that can double as hearing aids then these would be a great recommendation for you.

Let me start with the setup. It really was simple. My iPhone was able to see the devices through Bluetooth, and it paired easily. The set app that I downloaded from the app store walked me through how to tell my iPhone that they were an accessibility device. It really couldn't have been easier. The case is pretty low profile and easily fits in your pocket. It's easy to pull them out when you need them and keep them in the charging case when you don't need them. Once they were paired, the setup app told me to get to a quiet place where it ran each of my ears through a series of tests. It basically played tones at different frequencies and had me tap the screen of my phone each time I heard something. This calibration helped to set the default profile for the hearing aids. Put simply, they work. I've never had the super expensive custom fit hearing aids, so I really can't give you any comparison on that front. I do know that when I'm wearing these aids, I can definitely hear a lot more than when I don't wear them. There are 3 simple profiles that allow you to choose what gets amplified. Natural is pretty much a standard enhancement of everything. Frontal focuses on reducing background noise and amplifies what is directly in front of you. There is a surround type option as well that seems to amplify the background noise more so you can pick up parts of other conversations if you focus. I found all three of them to useful in different settings. My favorite is just the natural all around enhancement. The fit is pretty comfortable, and you get used to them quickly. What I can't get used to is how my own voice and body sounds. I know that people wear aids all the time, and that they get used to how their own chewing and voice sounds, but I just can't get past it. It is not a reflection of these aids, but a personal thing that is stopping me from fully embracing and enjoying the experience. I haven't given up, I still use them situationally. but I just can't wear them all the time. I suspect that as my hearing continues to deteriorate, the pros will greatly outweigh the cons and these will become more and more valuable to me. From a cost/benefit perspective, I think they are a fine value for what they bring to the table. They are definitely not cheap, but compared to custom hearing aids, they are a much lower priced option. My gut tells me that how you love them will depend largely on how much you really need them. If you are just starting your journey of hearing loss, you might find yourself focusing on the cons, but as you need to rely on them more and more in order to stay involved with conversations and not have to ask people to repeat things all the time, the pros will come to the forefront of you mind pretty quickly. I would definitely recommend these to people with moderate hearing loss. I'm not sure they are what I would choose for mild hearing loss.

I admittedly don't have much experience with any type of hearing aid or hearing enhancing products, and expected these the ultimately be like my noise cancelling ear buds on ambient mode. I have issues hearing people speaking when there is any sort of background noise present as well as struggling to hear the TV at volume level my wife considers reasonable. My expectations for the Jabra brand were initially pretty low but turns out they are owned by a company called GN Hearing who has been making professional/medical grade hearing devices for long time. So while Jabra isn't the name I expected to be offering a high quality OTC hearing aid I have been pleasantly surprised. General build quality, battery performance, and their ability to help me hear have all be great and beyond original expectations. These bare small, similar to a typical pair of ear buds you'd buy for music, and not very noticeable when you are wearing them especially in the "natural" color that I got. They lack the typical touch navigation features you expect on ear buds, but still allow you to turn the hearing aid on/off as well as increase or decrease the listening level. The app works well and provided a great set-up experience on a iPhone SE. It is recognized as a hearing assistant device versus ear buds once set-up on your phone and uses the typical bluetooth connection. During the initial set-up the app helps you pair the buds to your phone and works with you to set-up a sound signature specific to your needs. Setup took roughly 15-20 minutes overall from unboxing to enjoying enhanced hearing. Once paired you can adjust the listening modes, listening sound level, and see battery life all quickly and easily on one page within the app. I think this is a great simple UI design for older folks. Battery life has been fantastic and meets their advertised ratings. I have been able to put these in at breakfast and enjoy them for roughly 12hrs before having to recharge. The case provides roughly 2 additional recharges before everything needs to be completely recharged. Case design is once again I think good for older folks because while the hear aids are admittedly small the case is a bit larger with plenty of room for your fingers to get in there and help prevent drops. I was worried how effective these could be once again leaning on my experience with traditional ear buds you buy for music when it came to battery life. If I would have had to recharge these ever 4-6 hours that would have been a deal breaker for me most likely. The ~12hr battery life is perfect, once they are in I don't have to think about it again all day. Last thing I will touch on is fitment, which is ultimately very important for a device meant to assist your hearing ability and custom fitting is something you sacrifice when using a OTC option versus a full blown custom option that you get from a hearing doctor. With that being said the options provided by Jabra worked for me. At first I started with the medium cups but found the large were a better fit for me. They also include vented ear cups if you prefer or require that for pressure relief in three different sizes. Ultimately I guess my point is if you have a set of ear buds that fit your ear comfortably then these will most likely work for you as well. Would definitely recommend giving these well thought out, high quality OTC hearing aids a shot if you are looking for help with your hearing. Its a great kit and a great starting place to really understand how good or bad off you are with your hearing loss.

I have unilateral hearing loss, i.e., moderate hearing loss in one ear. As a result, I’ve worn a professional hearing aid for a number of years. This puts me in a very good position to evaluate the Jabra Enhance Plus hearing aid, as I understand not just how they can help improve hearing, but also how they compare to a high-end option. The Enhance Plus use rechargeable batteries, so the first thing you’ll want to do on setup is make sure they’re charged. While this is going on, you can download the Jabra Enhance app for your iPhone. Sorry, Android folks, the hearing aids won’t work with your devices. Once the hearing aids are charged, you’ll begin setup. It’s a pretty straightforward process with guidance from the app. The app will help you connect via Bluetooth and will conduct a (fairly rudimentary) hearing test. The results of this test will determine which frequencies are amplified and by how much. And this is where I had my first concern with the Enhance Plus. Any unilateral hearing loss should be checked by a doctor using testing and imaging. While other OTC hearing aid apps noticed the discrepancy between my ears and urged me to see a professional before using the hearing aids, the Jabra Enhance app did not issue any alert. Once set up, you can use the app to select different modes for different environments, such as quiet rooms versus loud restaurants. I found that the Adaptive setting, where the hearing aids choose the correct mode, was suitable for all situations. You can also control the overall volume of the hearing aids from the app. Of course, these are earbud style OTC hearing aids rather than the traditional over- or in-ear styles. While they don’t look like traditional hearing aids, they also are impossible to miss. This has some advantages, but also means you will always appear to be wearing earbuds, i.e., not paying attention to those around you. Probably the biggest advantage of this style is that you can use them to take calls or listen to music, much like a miniature earbud. More on this in a minute. Using the Enhance Pro strictly as a hearing aid, I found that it was comfortable to wear, but the sound was a bit of a blunt instrument. My professional hearing aid amplifies the frequencies where I have trouble but leaves the others intact. The resulting sound spectrum is quite natural. The Jabra Enhance Plus seems to amplify a broader range of sounds, so while some things sounded appropriate, nearby frequencies which I don’t have trouble hearing were unnaturally loud. There was also a high degree of occlusion, hearing my own voice loudly in my ears. This was present even when using the vented ear tips, which are designed to prevent this from happening. Using the Enhance Pro OTC hearing aids for music works, but the sound is not particularly pleasant. Even a pair of $35 earbuds will sound cleaner. For conference calls, the microphones worked reasonably well, but they picked up every sound in the room. While convenient, you’ll probably only use these features intermittently. The rechargeable batteries pose another potential problem. While professional rechargeable hearing aids are designed to last all day on a charge, these will not. If you intend to wear a hearing aid all day, note that this will not be reasonable with this unit, as you will have to recharge them at some point in the day. Overall, these may work for you, but they’re not right for me. The visually obvious earbud design, the broad tuning, and the relatively limited battery life simply make them difficult for me to use. But, if these things are not issues for you, then the Jabra Enhance Pro may be what you’re looking for. They are comfortable, have some good features, and should be quite reliable, as they’re made by Jabra.

he Jabra Enhance Plus OTC hearing aids. These are not hearing aids per sé. They are earbuds that enhance the sound so that they can hopefully improve how you hear. They are Bluetooth and they allow you to use them as you would earbuds, along with hearing enhancement. Note that these are for those with mild to moderate hearing loss. I like that they are sold in a choice of black or beige so you can choose the ones that more closely match your skin-tone and may be less obvious in your ears (if that its something you want to do). They are very small which is great for me, but I can also see the very small size might not be good for older people who may have issues with their hands shaking or vision issues. Thankfully, they do not need those teeny hearing aid batteries - they simply charge in their small case with a USB-C charging cord. Setup was very easy using the Jabra Enhance app on your iPhone. Note that these are only compatible with the iPhone at this time. Using the app, you are guided through the simple setup process, a type of hearing test for personalization and given a few more options to get them perfectly set up just for you. Once that was done I was ready to try my new hearing aids. First thing, I found these to be uncomfortable. I tried all of the provided ear gels and I still couldn’t find a place in my ears where they were secure enough that I felt they wouldn’t fall out. While they were staying in, I found that they do enhance conversations - for sure they do that. I was able to clearly hear the TV across the room and I could turn up my own volume with the app. But I’ve also found they amplify my own voice into my head. I’m not liking that aspect at all. Every time I cleared my throat (which I do often), it felt like I would damage my eardrum. I may have some setting off somewhere but I don’t think that’s the case.These also work as bluetooth earbuds (for iPhones) though they don’t have exceptional quality sound. I understand what Jabra is trying to do with these - but unfortunately, it just didn’t work for me. They want to be a lot - hearing aids and earbuds. I would think the combination would be better - really good earbuds deliver fantastic sound. These do not. Also, though they say they have advanced medical-grade technology, I don’t see anywhere that they are FDA approved as I have seen on other OTC hearing aids.

As a hearing aid user, I was excited to try the new Jabra Enhance Plus earbud style hearing aid devices. They arrived in a small box with everything needed to charge, pair and use them. They appear to be a very nice build and fit perfectly with the factory installed earbud inserts. A supply of three sets of inserts were included in the package along with a USB-C charging cord. The Jabra Enhance Plus hearing aids hold a 12 hour charge and the charging case provides an total additional charge of up to 35 hours using Li-ion rechargeable batteries. They earbuds are available in gold/beige or dark gray colors. An ios app (currently only available for Apple smartphones - not available for Android users) must be downloaded, setup and paired with the Jabra Enhance Plus hearing aids and is used to control and personalize the earbuds. Push button controls on the actual earbuds facilitate volume up, down and mute and the answer/end of phone calls. I found the Jabra Enhance Plus earbud hearing aids as good or better than the $1800+ hearing aids I was using prior to receiving the Jabra units. The Jabra units do not interfere with wearing or removal of face masks and the fit, sound quality and volume limits compared favorably with my old highr cost hearing aids. I find myself reaching for the Jabra units rather than my old ones.

I have very mild hearing loss, so I was very excited to try these Jabra Enhance Plus Self-fitting hearing aids. After trying them for two weeks I have to admit I am disappointed. When you open the product you are given everything you need to get the hearing aids working. You will need to download the Jabra Enhance App and this is where the frustration started for me . I read and followed the directions that are given to use the app to set up my hearing aids. Three times I would proceed with the instructions only to have the app freeze and not let me continue with the next steps to set up my hearing aids. In order to continue with the steps I actually had to remove the app and reinstall it three times so I could complete all of the necessary steps to have my hearing aids set up. After I finished with the set up and I had chosen the correct ear gels to get the right fit for my ears, I was once I again disappointed. At first, I was excited as I could hear all of the little noises and sounds that I know I have been missing on, but then I started talking to people and I couldn't get over the occlusion effect, where your own voice is amplified and very boomy. I have made all sorts of adjustments on the app and even changed out the gels with no change. Has these hearing aids improved my hearing and the answer to that is yes, but I struggle when I am having a conversation because I can't get over how amplified my voice is. I ended up given them 3 stars because of my frustrations with the app and the occlusion effect that I can't get rid off. Overall, they have helped me overcome some of my hearing issues.

In the box: • Ear buds; • Charging case; • USB (A to C) charging cable; Setup is easy with the Jabra Enhance app. After pairing, the app uses a “hearing test” to customize the frequencies that it will accentuate. For me, these were the high frequencies. There are three listening modes (focus, adaptive, and surround) and eleven mode volumes (0 through 10). Focus mode seems to reduce ambient background noise the most while surround mode is rather indiscriminate in what it amplifies. Adaptive mode switching between focus and surround modes based on the devices perception of whether it thinks a conversation is in progress. My first attempt at customization resulted in a background hum that was distracting and unpleasant. My second attempt was more successful. Reducing the volume helped get rid of unnecessary amplification. Notwithstanding the customization, the ear buds were far too sensitive to personal microphonics (i.e., my voice, breathing, and cranial acoustics). The ear buds were comfortable with extended use (i.e., 6 hours). Phone calls were successful with the smartphone on which the app was installed, but, due to enhancements of my own voice and ambient surrounding, I had more, rather than less, trouble understanding the person on the other end of the call. Pros: Easy setup, long battery life, comfort. Cons: Excessive microphonics, variable attenuation of background noise in “adaptive” mode;

Jabra Enhance Plus Hearing Aid The hearing aids work through the app for iPhone only. The app did not allow my hearing aids to pair - I had to use the printed directions included with the hearing aids and go in through the Accessibility Menu. Once they were paired and working the app still reported that the hearing aids were not paired even though they were in my ears and fully functioning. Even with the app stating they were not paired, it did allow the completion of the setup. Working through the set up menu on the app was easy. The app will not let you fully set up the hearing aids if they don’t sit correctly in your ears so find the correct, firm fitting, ear gels before you even begin setting them up (several sizes are including in the packaging). The app takes you through a series of sounds for each ear. The app will scan for a quiet area before it allows you to begin the audio test. If the room gets noisy once you start the test move quickly to a quiet place. There was no noticeable way to pause the hearing test. After the test, it will determine the level/setting you need to hear what’s going on around you. When I used the selected level, it was too loud but it’s very easy to lower (or raise) the volume either in the app or by using the volume buttons on your iPhone. The app will play a conversation in a restaurant to help you determine what type of sound you would like to hear. The support papers that come with the device call the “listen modes” Adaptive, Focus, and Surround. Within the app the “listen modes” are called Clear, Normal, and Full. Clear is the sharpest and focuses on amplifying the conversation that is closest to you, normal gets a moderate amount of background noise, and full amplifies all the sounds - not just the conversation. Music that you stream from your iPhone streams easily to your hearing aids. Depending on the type of earbuds or speakers you’re used to using the quality of the music may be different than what you’re used to. I found the music tinny and not as rich. But I could hear it without issue and it connecting automatically. The phone feature was automatic as well. The clarity of the conversation was excellent but there was a slight echo. There is a learning curve involved - getting used to hitting the buttons correctly takes some practice. Overall, a good product that allowed me to adjust sounds and conversations to the levels I needed.
