Lexie Lumen Expert Review

The Lexie Lumen is a behind-the-ear OTC hearing aid priced at $799, earning a B grade with a SoundScore of 3.73 out of 5 in HearAdvisor's lab testing. This places it in the top 38% of OTC hearing aids tested, performing above the category average of 3.43.

In our testing, the Lexie Lumen showed notable strength in speech intelligibility. Speech in quiet measured 1.48 points above the OTC category average, while speech in noise scored an impressive 1.90 points above average—a meaningful advantage for users in challenging listening environments. Feedback handling also exceeded the category norm. However, the device does not support music streaming, which limits its versatility for users who want to stream audio from their phones.

The Lumen uses disposable batteries rather than rechargeables, which some users may find less convenient but others appreciate for simplicity and longer daily runtime. The device showed measurable improvement when moved from its initial tulip dome fit to a more occluding power dome configuration, with gains in both speech metrics and feedback stability.

At $799, the Lexie Lumen faces strong competition. Several devices in the same price range—including the Sony CRE-E10 and Lexie B2 Plus—achieved higher overall scores in our testing. Users prioritizing speech clarity, particularly in noisy settings, may find the Lumen a solid choice, but those seeking streaming capabilities or top-tier value should compare alternatives carefully.
