The Elehear Beyond Pro is a mid-priced OTC hearing aid that delivers exceptional performance in our lab testing, earning an A grade with a SoundScore of 4.8/5. At $631, this behind-the-ear device ranks #2 among 63 tested OTC hearing aids, placing it in the top 2% of its category. Speech performance stands out as a major strength. Speech in quiet scores a strong 4.3/5, which is 1.66 points above the category average of 2.64/5. Speech in noise performance is equally impressive at 3.6/5—a solid score that sits 2.47 points above the category average of just 1.13/5. For users who prioritize conversation clarity, these results are among the best we've measured in the OTC space. Music streaming quality is another highlight, scoring a solid 3.8/5 compared to the category average of 1.93/5—a difference of 1.87 points. Feedback handling is excellent at 5.0/5, slightly above the already-high category average. However, own-voice comfort is a notable weakness at 1.2/5, falling 1.29 points below the category average of 2.49/5. Users sensitive to how their own voice sounds may find this bothersome. The Beyond Pro features rechargeable batteries and supports both iPhone and Android streaming with hands-free capability. It has received HearAdvisor's Expert's Choice Award for both 2024 and 2025. This device is best suited for users who prioritize speech clarity and streaming quality over own-voice comfort, and who want near-premium performance at a mid-tier price point.

The Lexie B2 Plus is a mid-priced OTC hearing aid that earns an A grade with a SoundScore of 4.5/5, placing it in the top 5% of the OTC hearing aid category and ranking #4 among 63 tested devices. At $899, this behind-the-ear rechargeable device delivers strong performance that has earned it HearAdvisor's Expert's Choice Award in both 2023 and 2024. In our lab testing, the B2 Plus excels in speech clarity and listening comfort. Speech in quiet scores a strong 4.3/5, measuring 1.66 points above the category average. Own-voice comfort is excellent at 4.8/5—2.31 points above average—meaning wearers are less likely to experience the hollow or boomy sound of their own voice that can make some hearing aids uncomfortable. Speech in noise scores 2.0/5, which is above the category average by 0.87 points but remains mixed in absolute terms, reflecting the broader challenge OTC devices face in noisy environments. Music streaming performance is similarly above average (+0.67 points) but mixed overall at 2.6/5. The most notable limitation is feedback handling at 2.8/5, which falls 1.73 points below the category average—something to consider if you're prone to feedback issues. The device supports both iPhone and Android streaming. The Lexie B2 Plus is best suited for those seeking strong speech clarity in quieter settings with excellent own-voice comfort. Buyers prioritizing top-tier noise performance or feedback stability may want to explore higher-scoring alternatives like the Sony CRE-E10, though the B2 Plus remains a solid performer for its price tier.
