Lucid Enrich Pro Expert Review

Budget OTC

2022

Summary

The Lucid Enrich Pro is a budget-priced OTC hearing aid that earned a B grade in HearAdvisor's lab testing, ranking in the top 41% of the OTC hearing aid category. At $199, it represents one of the more affordable entry points into the OTC market while delivering above-average speech performance.

In our lab testing, the Enrich Pro showed notable strength in speech intelligibility. Its speech in quiet score measured nearly a full point above the category average, and speech in noise performance also exceeded typical OTC results. For consumers prioritizing basic speech clarity on a tight budget, these results are encouraging.

However, the device does have limitations. Own voice comfort scored below average, which may be noticeable during conversations. Feedback handling also measured below the category average, suggesting some users could experience whistling in certain situations. The Enrich Pro uses disposable batteries rather than rechargeables and does not support music streaming—a tradeoff common at this price point.

The Lucid Enrich Pro is best suited for budget-conscious consumers seeking improved speech understanding without advanced features. It competes well against similarly priced options like the JLab Hear OTC, though higher-performing alternatives like the Elehear Beyond exist at the same price point for those willing to explore other brands.

In the initial fit condition with an open dome coupling, the Lucid Enrich Pro delivered above-average speech performance in both quiet and noisy environments. The open dome configuration allows for natural sound passage but resulted in below-average own voice comfort scores, with occlusion being noticeable. Feedback handling measured at 4.0 out of 5, slightly below the category average of 4.5. Music streaming was not available on this device. The overall initial fit score of 2.56 was above average for the OTC category.

The tuned fit condition used a closed dome coupling, yet performance metrics remained identical to the initial fit across all measured categories. Speech in quiet and speech in noise scores held steady at above-average levels, while own voice comfort and feedback handling showed no improvement with the coupling change. This suggests the device may have limited adjustability or that the closed dome configuration did not provide meaningful acoustic benefits in our testing protocol.
