There are an estimated 35 million older adults who experience hearing loss in the U.S., 23 million of whom don't use hearing aids.1 Finding the right hearing aid can be overwhelming, which is why our experts are always on the lookout for the next best solution to share with our readers. Jabra Enhance provides easy access to competitively-priced, high-quality hearing aids for mild to moderate hearing loss.
Jabra Enhance devices range from $1,195 to $1,995 per pair, which is on the more affordable side compared to some of the leading companies we’ve tested like Miracle-Ear that charge a similar amount per ear. It's important to note that Jabra Enhance currently only offers three behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aid models, and they don't have solutions for severe or profound hearing loss.
However, if one of their reasonably-priced, discreet BTE hearing aids meets your needs, they're a great option. From pricing to value to features, we'll walk you through all the details about Jabra Enhance below!
FYI: In November of 2022, Lively teamed up with the hearing aid provider Jabra to create a new brand of affordable and accessible hearing aids. The company has now rebranded to Jabra Enhance.
We'd recommend Jabra Enhance's hearing aids for the following types of users:
Jabra Enhance's hearing aids are FDA approved for mild to moderate hearing loss. All three models offer high-quality sound and noise cancellation, which are essential features for older adults who enjoy outdoor activities such as golf or watching sports. A plus for social seniors, Jabra Enhance devices provide voice recognition to prioritize voices over other sounds. That helps you hear conversations as you dine in noisy restaurants or attend concerts.
Jabra Enhance's hearing aids utilize Bluetooth technology, so you can pair them with your smartphone to listen to music and make calls. Their lightweight, BTE style is comfortable and nearly invisible when worn. Choose from a wide variety of skin tone and hair color style options for optimal discreteness.
Below is a breakdown of Jabra Enhance's three hearing aid models.
Jabra Enhance’s premium option, the Enhance Select 200, utilizes the company's most advanced technology yet. These rechargeable BTE hearing aids deliver natural, effortless listening, whether you’re talking to the librarian or chatting with a friend during a live sporting event. You’ll also enjoy luxury features like Music Mode, which improves the quality of live music, and hands-free calling for iPhones 11 and newer.
Jabra Enhance Select 200 Hearing Aids
Even though it’s Jabra Enhance’s most advanced pair, the Enhance Select 200 only costs $1,995 per pair, which is still reasonable compared to other premium options on the market. If you don’t have the cash upfront, Jabra Enhance offers financing options for as low as $65 per month.
Enhance Select 100
The Enhance Select 100 hearing aids cost $1,595 per pair or can be financed as low as $52 per month. This is a competitive price for rechargeable BTE devices, considering rechargeable hearing aids from premium brands like Widex range from $1,000 to $1,500 for just one hearing aid. Like the Enhance Select 200, these devices offer up to 30 hours of sound per charge and take only three hours to recharge fully. If you happen to forget to charge your hearing aids one night, a one hour charge can last 16 full hours, and a 30-minute charge can last eight hours, providing you enough battery life to get through your day. The Enhance Select 100 is priced similarly to rechargeable devices from other budget hearing aid providers we've tested, such as Eargo, and boasts an invisible in-the-ear design.
For a more economical option, Jabra Enhance offers this battery-operated model with all of the connectivity and features of their rechargeable hearing aid options. It also includes a year's supply of batteries with purchase. At $1,195 per pair, these devices come out to just over $597 per device. If you're okay with changing out your batteries regularly, the Enhance Select 200 hearing aids are a solid budget option. Although some battery-operated hearing aids can go up to $2,000 to $3,000 per device, we found that there are also less expensive BTE devices on the market from companies we’ve reviewed, such as MDHearing, starting at $799.99 per pair, or $39.99 per month.
Enhance Select 50
Customer Perk: Seniors who use a smartphone can download the free Jabra Enhance Select app to make hearing aid adjustments and to customize their device settings anytime, anywhere.
Jabra Enhance App
Jabra Enhance strives to make their buying process as simple and streamlined as possible. They are among the growing number of hearing aid providers that allow direct ordering from their website. You don't have to visit an audiologist or hearing clinic in-person for a hearing evaluation to purchase Jabra Enhance hearing aids, saving you time, money, and energy.
Instead of an in-person evaluation, Jabra Enhance offers a free hearing test on their website to help users determine their hearing loss level and decide if Jabra Enhance hearing aids are the right fit. If you choose to purchase, you can either pay for your devices upfront or select one of their monthly payment plan options. Every purchase comes with a three-year warranty, three years of follow-up care, and a 100-day risk-free trial period to give you more bang for your buck.
FYI: Jabra Enhance provides free shipping for all of their hearing aids. You'll receive your devices about one to two weeks after ordering.
When you receive your hearing aids, Jabra Enhance will schedule regular virtual follow-up appointments to ensure proper use and fitting of your devices. These follow-ups help resolve any issues and provide additional support and instruction so you can get the most out of your devices. If you find that your hearing aids aren't right for you within 100 days of purchase, Jabra Enhance provides hassle-free returns for a full refund.
Jabra Enhance Accessories
Jabra Enhance also offers add-on equipment to customize your hearing experience.
Jabra Enhance TV Streamer
Jabra Enhance's TV Streamer, priced at $299, allows TV and other audio to stream directly to the hearing aids, turning them into wireless headphones.
Jabra Enhance Multi Mic
The MultiMic is a portable microphone that helps boost the hearing aids' listening range for sounds up to 82 feet away. It also enhances the most important sounds in complex listening environments like a busy restaurant or large meeting. This accessory costs $275. It also allows for direct audio input from an included 3.5mm audio cable or a 3-pin “Euro Plug” for universal FM receivers. In addition, the MultiMic has an integrated telecoil to allow for connection to hearing loops.
Jabra Enhance Phone Clip
Jabra Enhance hearing aids stream directly to many iPhone and Android phones. However, if you have an older phone or one that's not on Jabra Enhance's compatibility list, you'll need this phone clip for streaming calls and music to your Bluetooth-enabled devices. It can also be used as a discrete remote control. The Phone Clip+ costs $199.
When purchasing a pair of Jabra Enhance rechargeable hearing aids, you will receive a charging case at no extra cost. You also have the option to buy an additional one for $250 as a backup if needed.
Compared to other leading rechargeable devices, Jabra Enhance falls in the middle of the price range. You'll find more expensive, top-tier options with advanced features in our Audicus review and Signia review, and less costly budget options from companies such as MDHearing. Below is an at-a-glance breakdown of these comparisons:

Several barriers prevent older adults from purchasing hearing aids, such as cost, stigma, and the overwhelming number of choices on the market. Fortunately, companies like Jabra Enhance take a customer-centric approach to make it simpler, faster, and less expensive to purchase hearing aids. With easy online purchase, high-quality sound, and prices ranging from $1,195 to $1,995 per pair, Jabra Enhance offers some of our favorite BTE hearing aids. We do wish they had more hearing aid styles to choose from. It's often said that hearing aids are an investment, and through our full Jabra Enhance review, we found that Jabra Enhance is a sound investment (no pun intended) for those with mild to moderate hearing loss.
Most insurances do not cover hearing aids; however, it is still worth checking with your provider. In the case that your insurance does cover hearing aids, Jabra Enhance will provide you with the documentation necessary for a reimbursement claim.
