This behind-the-ear device ranks #17 among 65 OTC hearing aids tested, placing it in the top 25% of its category. In our testing, the Enhance Select 300 demonstrates notable strengths in speech clarity for quiet environments, scoring 0.85 points above the OTC category average. Feedback handling is excellent at 5.0/5, and own-voice comfort scores a solid 3.5/5—nearly a full point above average for the category. Music streaming performance, while above average for OTC devices, remains mixed in absolute terms at 2.6/5. The device's main limitation appears in challenging listening environments. Speech-in-noise performance scored 1.5/5, which is low in absolute terms and essentially matches the category average. Users who frequently encounter noisy restaurants, busy offices, or crowded gatherings may find this a meaningful constraint. The Enhance Select 300 is best suited for individuals who primarily need improved hearing in quieter settings such as home conversations, one-on-one meetings, or watching television. It offers reliable streaming to both iPhone and Android devices, rechargeable batteries, and hands-free functionality. Shoppers seeking stronger noise performance at this price point may want to compare alternatives like the Lucid Tala or Audicus Omni 2, which scored higher overall in our testing.

The Zepp Clarity One is a mid-priced OTC hearing aid with an invisible-in-ear design, priced at $699. In HearAdvisor's lab testing, it earned a B grade with a SoundScore of 3.9/5, ranking #23 among 65 OTC hearing aids tested—placing it in the top 34% of the category. This device demonstrates notable strengths in speech clarity during quiet environments, scoring 3.7/5—nearly a full point above the category average. Own-voice comfort is another highlight at 3.8/5, measuring 1.29 points above average, which suggests reduced occlusion effects that many users find bothersome with in-ear devices. Feedback handling is excellent at 5.0/5 in the tuned configuration. However, the Clarity One has significant limitations. Speech understanding in noisy environments scores just 1.4/5, slightly below the category average. Most notably, music streaming scored 0.0/5—nearly 2 points below the category average—indicating this device does not support audio streaming functionality, a feature some competitors in this price range offer. The Zepp Clarity One is best suited for users who prioritize clear speech in quieter settings and natural own-voice quality, and who do not need music or media streaming capabilities. Those seeking better noise performance or streaming features should consider alternatives, including options like the Olive Union Air, which offers similar overall sound quality at a lower price point.
