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.

The Lexie B2 Plus is a mid-priced OTC hearing aid that earns an A grade with a SoundScore of 4.4/5, placing it in the top 9% of OTC devices tested in our lab. At $899, this behind-the-ear style device delivers strong performance in several key areas while showing some limitations worth considering. In our testing, the Lexie B2 Plus excels in speech clarity for quiet environments, scoring a strong 4.3/5—significantly above the OTC category average by 1.49 points. Own-voice comfort is a particular standout at 4.8/5, well above the category average by 2.29 points, meaning wearers are unlikely to experience the hollow or booming quality of their own voice that can make some hearing aids uncomfortable. Speech in noise performance scores 2.1/5, which is above the OTC category average by 0.58 points but remains mixed in absolute terms—typical for this device class. Music streaming scores 2.6/5, similarly above average by 0.68 points while remaining modest overall. Feedback handling at 2.8/5 falls below the category average by 1.74 points, which may require attention during phone calls or when wearing hats. The Lexie B2 Plus is a solid choice for users prioritizing speech clarity in quieter settings and natural own-voice comfort. It features rechargeable batteries and streaming compatibility with both iPhone and Android devices. This two-time Expert's Choice Award winner (2023, 2024) competes against devices like the higher-scoring Sony CRE-E10 in its price range, but offers a compelling balance of comfort and core speech performance.
