Best iPhone Hearing Aids, Tested by Audiologists in 2025

Testing out Jabra Enhance Select 300 hearing aids

Jabra Enhance, previously known as Lively, sells three behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aid models that directly stream to Apple devices. You can listen to phone calls and stream music, audiobooks, Netflix, and other media directly from your hearing aids. For seniors with an iPhone 11 or newer (and iOS 15.1 or later), the Enhance Select 300 model is recommended. These rechargeable hearing aids offer a solid bang for your buck, clear sound quality, and robust features, including hands-free calling.

When you purchase Jabra Enhance hearing aids, you can access the Jabra Enhance Select mobile app. We could adjust settings, change the volume, and seek help from the Jabra Enhance Care team right from our phone. Remote hearing care with Jabra Enhance’s audiology team is available for three years after purchasing a Premium package — an excellent perk from a company that sells hearing aids directly to consumers!

iPhone Compatibility

Though you can get the most out of your hearing aids (such as hands-free calling) with a more recent iPhone model, seniors with older iPhones shouldn’t worry about Jabra Enhance. The provider sells made-for-iPhone (MFi) hearing aids that are Bluetooth-ready and compatible with most Apple products, dating back to the iPhone 5s (2013) and the 4th-generation iPad (2012). We had no issues connecting the Enhance Select 300s to our iPhone. Once connected, we could listen to music on the subway and stream calls with friends, without any problems!

Hands-free calling is incompatible with any model before the iPhone 11, and it will only work with select iPad Mini and iPad Pro models. Even if you can’t enjoy direct-to-iPhone streaming due to compatibility issues, the Jabra Enhance Select mobile app still allows you to make setting adjustments and even connect with a hearing professional as needed.

We give the mobile app high marks, as it’s easy to use and customize your devices. We adjusted the settings for noise filters, speech clarity, and more. We could also change between programs, such as Outdoor and Music.

Pricing

Unlike prescription hearing aids from brands like Widex and Oticon, Jabra Enhance is transparent with its pricing. If you opt for the Premium package (which Dr. Reisman recommends for audiologist care alone), the Jabra Enhance Select 50R costs $1,195 per pair; the Jabra Enhance Select 300 costs $1,695 per pair; and the Jabra Enhance Select 500 costs $1,995 per pair. These prices are affordable, considering that comparable models from prescription providers like Widex and Oticon can easily cost twice as much (or more). Plus, Premium packages include hearing aids and a charging case (a one-year supply of batteries with Jabra Enhance Select 50R). Also included are a three-year warranty, three-year loss and damage protection, and three years of virtual audiologist care.

If you’re on a tight budget, you can select a Basic package with any model, knocking $200 off the price. However, you won’t receive any follow-up care or custom programming. We recommend selecting a Premium package if it fits your budget. It’s also vital that while Jabra Enhance offers some great deals, it doesn’t have the most affordable hearing aids on this list. That honor goes to Eargo, starting at $799 per pair.

Testing out Eargo 7 hearing aids

Eargo is a fantastic option for those with iPhones who want an invisible hearing aid. This direct-to-consumer hearing aid provider sells three discreet in-canal models, so you’re truly in control of who knows about your hearing loss. Since Eargo hearing aids are tiny, there isn’t room for Bluetooth technology; this means no streaming to your iPhone. We were disappointed by this, as mobile apps are beneficial for customizing hearing aids. Instead, Bluetooth technology is built into the charging case, which allows you to connect your hearing aids to the Eargo iPhone app for remote adjustments. That includes the earbud-style LINK by Eargo, their most affordable hearing aid at just $799 — nearly $200 less than the Jabra Enhance Select 50R model. This model has direct streaming.

All of Eargo’s models — Eargo Link, Eargo SE, and Eargo 7 — work with Eargo’s mobile app, which is available for iOS devices. We could adjust features such as volume, noise filter, and sound programs. We could also access lifetime telecare support from Eargo hearing professionals. To make adjustments, we placed our hearing aids in the charging case, syncing them via Bluetooth to our iPhone. While this isn’t quite as convenient as Jabra Enhance, Widex, or Oticon, it still makes it easy to connect to just about any iPhone with Bluetooth turned on. Dr. Reisman notes that performance and user satisfaction are very high with Eargo hearing aids for candidates.

iPhone Compatibility

You may not be able to stream audio from your iPhone directly to your Eargo SE or 7 hearing aids, but the trade-off is worth it for the discreet hearing support. Plus, you can adjust settings with the Eargo mobile app and the Bluetooth technology in the charging case. If streaming directly from your iPhone is vital, you can still opt for the LINK by Eargo.

During testing, we found that the LINK by Eargo had decent quality, but it lacked some of the crispness and resonance that define prescription hearing aids. We found that the sound quality took some getting used to outdoors. It’s a tad tinny, but the noise-reduction feature works well, even on city streets. We had trouble boosting phone calls streamed into our hearing aids at lower volumes.

Pricing

Eargo lists pricing directly on its website, which you won’t find with a prescription provider like Widex or Oticon. Eargo hearing aid prices range from $799 to $2,699 per pair, but you can often find sales to knock off a few hundred dollars. Eargo also allows buyers to make monthly payments that can start as low as $23 per month. For the features and support offered, Eargo has solid value. However, these devices aren’t suitable for severe or profound hearing loss. Keep that in mind when considering your needs.

Testing out Widex Moment hearing aids

Widex sells three MFi hearing aid lines: SmartRIC, EVOKE, and MOMENT, available in BTE and ITE styles. That gives you more options than you can get with Jabra Enhance, which only offers three BTE models.

Each hearing aid line comes with a Widex companion app. Using the app, you can stream calls, videos, music, audiobooks, and more from your iPhone to your hearing aids. You can also adjust volume and pitch, access sound class, and manage tinnitus using your phone. We love how the flexibility that Widex gives to achieve the best hearing environment without visiting your audiologist.

Expert Insights

From Audiologist Dr. Ruth Reisman,

Widex has the widest frequency range on the market and ZeroDelay technology; the latter allows music and speech to be prioritized and offers the best sound quality for the user. If you’re looking for top-notch sound quality, Widex is a great choice. Their smart hearing aid design also helps enhance speech audibility and localization by using strategically placed microphones.

iPhone Compatibility

With Widex, you’re getting some of the best technology and an easy-to-use mobile app. These are MFi hearing aids, so they’ll work with virtually any iPhone, iPad, and even iPod. Widex doesn’t come with the convenience of an OTC brand like Eargo or Jabra Enhance (you will need a prescription from an audiologist). However, it does ensure that its Bluetooth hearing aids are a great fit for nearly any iPhone user. Plus, having a unique app for each product line ensures that users can adjust and tailor the hearing aids to suit their specific needs.

Pricing

Widex pricing information isn’t available online. Their hearing aids must be purchased in person. Dr. Reisman estimates that most Widex models will vary between $1,000 and $3,750 per hearing aid, similar to Oticon’s pricing. Visit your audiologist or local hearing aid specialist to discuss the cost and to learn which Widex model might be best for you. Despite higher prices, prescription hearing aids offer customization and care you won’t receive with OTC options like Eargo and Jabra Enhance.

Testing out Oticon hearing aids

Oticon is known for creating some of the most advanced hearing aids on the market; they feature internet connectivity that allows you to connect to multiple Apple products simultaneously. Their hearing aids are MFi and can seamlessly connect to iPhones, iPads, and other Apple devices for streaming calls, media, and more. Tech-savvy users will be impressed by Oticon’s integration with IFTTT (If This Then That), which helps users automate various tasks.

» Compare Providers: Widex vs. Oticon

Using the Oticon mobile app and the IFTTT website, wearers can choose and create “if this, then that” scenarios, called applets. For example, you can set it up so that if a new event is added to your iPhone’s calendar, Oticon will convert the text to speech in your hearing aids. If you have an important event or appointment, your hearing aids will remind you so you don’t miss it! Applets like this only work on iPhones, so this integration is a special perk for Apple users. Dr. Reisman considers Oticon hearing aids some of the best for smart integration and feedback management.

iPhone Compatibility

Wireless connectivity, advanced BrainHearing technology, and multiple style options give Oticon’s product line an edge over other providers. Not only does Oticon deliver all the bells and whistles, but their seamless connectivity with Apple products and IFTTT integration are significant benefits for tech-savvy users. For example, if you live with multiple iPhone users, you could connect to more than one iPhone simultaneously for two-way, hands-free phone and video calls. Regardless of your level of hearing loss, Oticon devices can help you hear clearly and make quick and easy adjustments as needed via the iOS mobile app.

Pricing

Oticon doesn’t disclose pricing on its websites. However, you can expect to pay top dollar for Oticon hearing aids due to their innovative technology. Dr. Reisman estimates that Oticon devices cost $1,000 to $4,000 per ear. Visit your audiologist or a local hearing aid specialist to learn about pricing and insurance coverage.
