Elehear Beyond Pro Hero
ElehearSoundScore 4.2Grade A

Elehear Beyond Pro

The Elehear Beyond Pro is a mid-priced OTC hearing aid that earns an A grade with a SoundScore of 4.2/5 in our lab testing, placing it in the top 15% of the OTC category. Priced at $631, this behind-the-ear device has received HearAdvisor's Expert's Choice Award in both 2024 and 2025. In our testing, the Beyond Pro demonstrates notable strengths in music streaming, scoring 3.8/5—a solid result that sits 1.88 points above the category average. This makes it one of the stronger options for users who prioritize audio entertainment alongside speech clarity. Speech performance is also above average, with speech in quiet scoring 3.3/5 (+0.46 vs category) and speech in noise at 2.5/5 (+1.00 vs category). While the speech-in-noise score is above the category average, it remains mixed in absolute terms at 2.5/5. Feedback handling is excellent at 5.0/5. The primary trade-off is own-voice comfort, which scores 1.2/5—a low result that falls 1.31 points below the category average. Users who are sensitive to how their own voice sounds may find this noticeable. The Beyond Pro is best suited for OTC shoppers who want strong streaming quality and solid speech performance without professional fitting. It competes in a price range that includes higher-scoring options like the Yeasound RIC800 and Sony CRE-E10, so prospective buyers may want to compare based on their priorities. Features include rechargeable batteries, iPhone and Android streaming, and hands-free capability.

LexieSoundScore 4.7Grade A

Lexie B3

The Lexie B3 is a behind-the-ear OTC hearing aid priced at $999 that earns an A grade with a SoundScore of 4.8/5 in our lab testing. This places it at #1 among the 65 OTC hearing aids we've evaluated, making it a standout performer in its category. In our standardized testing, the Lexie B3 demonstrates excellent speech-in-quiet performance at 4.5/5, scoring 1.73 points above the OTC category average of 2.79/5. Speech-in-noise results are more nuanced—while the 2.5/5 score sits 1.02 points above the category average of 1.48/5, this remains mixed in absolute terms. Music streaming quality is solid at 3.3/5, exceeding the category average by 1.38 points, and feedback handling is excellent at 4.6/5. Own-voice comfort scores a solid 3.0/5, sitting 0.49 points above the category average. The device uses a tulip dome coupling in both initial and tuned configurations, maintaining consistent performance across fitting conditions with identical normalized scores of 4.8/5 for both fits. For those considering alternatives, devices like the RxEars Rxi, Meta Ray-Ban Glasses (Gen 2), and Cearvol Wave offer lower price points, though with correspondingly lower SoundScores. The Lexie B3 is best suited for consumers seeking top-tier OTC sound performance who prioritize speech clarity in quieter environments and quality music streaming, and who can accommodate its mid-tier OTC price point.
