The Lucid Enrich Pro is a budget-priced OTC hearing aid that earns a B grade with a SoundScore of 3.7/5 in our lab testing. At $200, it ranks #31 of 65 OTC hearing aids tested, placing it in the top 46% of the category. This visible-in-ear device delivers its strongest performance in speech-in-quiet scenarios, scoring 3.8/5—a solid result that sits 0.98 points above the OTC category average. Feedback handling is also strong at 4.0/5 in absolute terms, though it falls 0.54 points below the category average. Speech-in-noise performance scores 1.7/5, which is above the category average by 0.19 points but remains low in absolute terms, suggesting limited benefit in challenging listening environments. Key limitations include own-voice comfort, which scores a mixed 2.0/5 (0.51 points below category average), and music streaming, which scores 0.0/5—significantly below the category average of 1.92/5. The device uses disposable batteries rather than rechargeables. The Lucid Enrich Pro may suit budget-conscious consumers who primarily need help hearing speech in quieter settings and don't require music streaming functionality. Those who frequently encounter noisy environments or value streaming audio should consider alternatives in this price range, such as the higher-scoring Elehear Beyond or Apple AirPods Pro 2.

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 its category. This device demonstrates notable strengths in specific areas of sound performance. Speech clarity in quiet environments scores a solid 3.7/5, coming in 0.95 points above the category average. Own-voice comfort is another highlight at 3.8/5, exceeding the category average by 1.29 points—a meaningful advantage for users sensitive to how their own voice sounds while wearing hearing aids. Feedback handling is excellent at 5.0/5, among the best we've measured. However, the Zepp Clarity One shows limitations in other areas. Speech understanding in noisy environments scores 1.4/5, slightly below the category average and low in absolute terms. Music streaming capability is notably absent, scoring 0.0/5—well below the already modest category average of 1.92/5. Users who prioritize phone audio streaming should consider this significant limitation. The Zepp Clarity One may suit consumers who primarily need hearing support in quieter settings like one-on-one conversations at home, and who value discreet, in-ear styling with reliable feedback control. Those frequently navigating noisy environments or wanting to stream music and calls should explore alternatives.
