How We Test

The Jabra Enhance Select 300 is a premium OTC hearing aid priced at $1,695 that earns an A grade with a SoundScore of 4.33/5 in our lab testing. This behind-the-ear device ranks #7 among 61 OTC hearing aids tested, placing it in the top 10% of its category.

Speech performance is a clear strength. Speech in quiet scores a strong 4.0/5, which is 1.35 points above the OTC category average of 2.65/5. Speech in noise comes in at 1.8/5—above the category average by 0.60 points, but low in absolute terms, meaning challenging noisy environments may still pose difficulties. Feedback handling is excellent at 5.0/5, providing stable amplification without whistling during typical use.

Own-voice comfort scores a solid 3.5/5, which is 1.00 points above the category average, suggesting reduced occlusion effects compared to many OTC alternatives. Music streaming scores 2.6/5—above average by 0.73 points but only mixed in absolute terms, so audiophiles may notice limitations when streaming from their phone.

This device features rechargeable batteries, iPhone and Android streaming, and hands-free functionality. It has earned HearAdvisor's Expert's Choice Award in both 2023 and 2024. The Jabra Enhance Select 300 is well-suited for consumers seeking strong speech clarity in quieter settings with reliable, feedback-free performance, though those prioritizing noisy environment performance or premium music quality may want to compare alternatives like the higher-scoring Lucid Tala in the same price range.
