Summary
In the initial fit condition with open domes, the GoHearing Ultra delivered well below average performance on speech metrics in our lab testing. Speech in quiet scored just 0.10/5 and speech in noise scored -0.80/5, both substantially below category averages. The open coupling contributed to below average own-voice comfort scores. However, feedback handling was excellent at 5.00/5, and music streaming measured above average at 3.60/5. The overall initial fit score of 1.05/5 reflects the significant speech audibility limitations despite adequate media performance.
The tuned fit condition for the GoHearing Ultra showed no improvement over the initial fit—an uncommon result in our testing. The device retained the same open dome coupling, and all scores remained identical: speech in quiet at 0.10/5, speech in noise at -0.80/5, and the same 1.05/5 overall fit score. This suggests the GoHearing Ultra offers limited fitting flexibility to better match prescriptive targets for the tested hearing loss profile, even with professional adjustment attempts.
