Jabra Enhance Pro 20 at Costco

The Jabra Enhance Pro 20 at Costco is a behind-the-ear prescription hearing aid priced at $1,600, placing it in the premium tier. With a SoundScore of 4.0/5 and an A grade, it ranks #25 of 39 prescription hearing aids tested in our lab. In our testing, this device demonstrates notable strengths in own-voice comfort, scoring 3.5/5—0.80 points above the category average. This solid performance means wearers may find their own voice sounds more natural compared to many competitors. Feedback handling is excellent at 4.8/5, slightly above the category average, indicating reliable stability during movement and phone use. However, the Enhance Pro 20 shows limitations in challenging listening environments. Speech-in-noise performance scores just 1.1/5, falling 0.97 points below the category average—a significant gap that may affect conversations in restaurants, social gatherings, or other noisy settings. Speech-in-quiet is solid at 3.2/5 in absolute terms, though still 0.17 points below the category average. Music streaming scores 2.8/5, which is above the category average but only mixed in absolute terms. This device suits users who prioritize comfortable own-voice perception and excellent feedback control, and who spend most listening time in quieter environments. Those frequently navigating noisy situations may want to consider alternatives like the Rexton Reach R-Li T80 at Costco, which scored 4.56/5 in our testing. The Enhance Pro 20 includes rechargeable batteries, iPhone and Android streaming, and hands-free functionality.
