The Jabra Enhance Plus is a mid-priced OTC hearing aid ($799) that earns a B grade with a SoundScore of 3.8/5 in our lab testing, ranking #28 of 65 devices in the OTC category. This visible-in-ear device delivers strong speech-in-quiet performance, scoring 4.2/5—a full 1.36 points above the category average. Music streaming is another highlight at 3.8/5, nearly 1.9 points above average, making it a solid choice for users who value audio quality beyond speech. Speech-in-noise performance scores 2.1/5, which is above the category average by 0.62 points but remains mixed in absolute terms for challenging listening environments. The most significant limitation is own-voice comfort, scoring just 0.3/5—well below the category average of 2.51/5. Users sensitive to how their own voice sounds while wearing hearing aids should consider this trade-off carefully. Feedback handling is excellent at 4.7/5, meaning wearers can expect stable performance without whistling or squealing. The Jabra Enhance Plus is best suited for users who prioritize clear speech in quieter settings and enjoy streaming music or calls to their iPhone. Those frequently in noisy environments or particularly bothered by occlusion effects may want to explore alternatives. Several competitors in the same price range achieve higher overall scores, including the Sony CRE-E10 and Lexie B2 Plus.

The Jabra Enhance Pro 20 at Costco is a prescription behind-the-ear hearing aid available for $1,600, earning an A grade with a SoundScore of 4.0/5 in our lab testing. This places it in the top 61% of the 36 prescription hearing aids we've evaluated. In our testing, this device shows a mixed performance profile. Own-voice comfort is a clear strength, scoring 3.5/5—0.75 points above the category average—making it a solid choice for users who prioritize natural sound quality when speaking. Feedback handling is excellent at 4.8/5, slightly above the category average, indicating stable performance during typical daily activities. However, speech-in-noise performance is notably limited, scoring just 1.1/5—0.82 points below the category average of 1.96. This is a meaningful weakness for users who frequently encounter noisy environments like restaurants or social gatherings. Speech in quiet is solid at 3.2/5, though slightly below the category average. Music streaming scores 2.8/5, above average but only mixed in absolute terms. At this price point, buyers should consider alternatives. The Rexton Reach R-Li T80 at Costco scores 4.58/5 in the same price range, while lower-priced options like the Lexie B3 (4.76/5) offer stronger overall performance. The Jabra Enhance Pro 20 may suit users who prioritize own-voice comfort and feedback stability over challenging listening environments, but those needing robust noise handling should explore other options.
