6 Best Rechargeable Hearing Aids May 2024

Jabra Enhance Select 300 hearing aids

Overview

Jabra Enhance, formerly named Lively, is relatively new to the scene, but consumers are starting to take notice. The young company claims that over 95 percent of their customers report overall better hearing with their hearing aids. Since customers can buy Jabra Enhance devices online without visiting an audiologist’s office, Jabra Enhance hearing aids are accessible and affordable. Plus, the company has a long history of rechargeable hearing aids backed by ReSound’s reliable technology, which is why they made our list. Jabra Enhance has three BTE models available: two rechargeable and one battery-powered. All three are available in many colors and are equipped with Bluetooth technology.

Jabra Enhance rechargeable hearing aids, Enhance Select 300 and Enhance Select 100, have outstanding battery life. They hold up to 30 hours of charge, depending on usage, while the portable charging case holds an extra three charges. They also have a quick charge option if you’re running short on time. Let’s say you’re getting ready to leave to catch your grandkid’s soccer game and realize you forgot to charge your hearing aids the night before. You can set them on the charger for half an hour to quickly give them 7.5 hours of power.

Pricing

Though Jabra Enhance hearing aids aren’t the cheapest on the market, they are still thousands of dollars less than the national average cost. For Jabra Enhance premium packages, Enhance Select 300 costs $1,995 per pair, and the Enhance Select 100 costs $1,695 per pair, but that price includes more than just the device. The Jabra Enhance premium package includes follow-up remote care with an audiologist for three years, the Jabra Enhance Select mobile app, a charging case, shipping, a warranty, and loss and damage protection. When you factor in all those benefits, plus the quality hearing aids you receive, Jabra Enhance hearing aids offer excellent value.

Bottom Line

Jabra Enhance is a direct-to-consumer hearing aid provider, offering quality hearing devices and support. These hearing aids aren’t custom-fitted, so if you have been diagnosed with severe or profound hearing loss, they aren’t ideal. But, for older adults who have mild or moderate hearing loss, Jabra Enhance provides competitively priced BTE hearing aids with impressive features and customer support. Their rechargeable models have some of the best battery life we’ve seen and are accompanied by a sleek charging case — perfect for traveling! Plus, you can try a pair risk-free for 100 days.

Testing out the Neo XS from MDHearing

Overview

MDHearing’s VOLT model is durable, rechargeable, and affordable. MDHearing VOLT is water, dust, and debris resistant; that’s good news for seniors who want to wear their hearing aids at the lake, on a morning hike, or out in the garden. These hearing aids can even withstand being in water for up to 30 minutes. Also, the rechargeable devices deliver 20 hours of sound per charge and come with a magnetic charging case that can provide up to three charges for your hearing aids.

The VOLT is also budget-friendly at $397 per pair. Plus, MDHearing regularly runs promotions that make their devices even more affordable. However, these hearing aids do lack some superior features such as Bluetooth and environment adaptive technology. The VOLT is best for seniors with mild to moderate hearing loss who would like an affordable pair of hearing aids. Since MDHearing sells its devices online to customers, seniors don’t need a prescription or a visit to a hearing center.

Pricing

MDHearing is known for providing over-the-counter hearing support at affordable prices. With their least expensive hearing aids available for $297 per pair and their most expensive priced at $699.98 per pair, this manufacturer is more affordable than top-tier providers that can run $5,000 or more per pair. MDHearing’s low prices don’t come without drawbacks, though. MDHearing devices lack some features and are only available in four styles. But, if you have mild to moderate hearing loss and want a simple hearing aid at a low price, this shouldn’t be an issue.

Bottom Line

MDHearing provides a budget-friendly option for active seniors in search of rechargeable hearing aids. The durability and low cost of their rechargeable model, the VOLT, is impressive. Shoppers will want to keep in mind that MDHearing products don’t have all the bells and whistles offered by other providers. If having state-of-the-art features on your rechargeable hearing aids is important to you, you may want to look elsewhere. Check out our MDHearing review to learn more about this budget-friendly provider.

Testing the Eargo 7 Rechargeable hearing aids

Overview

While Eargo is only a little over a decade old, the company has quickly garnered many positive reviews from hearing professionals and consumers. One of the greatest benefits is that Eargo distributes its products outside of traditional prescription models. This means that people can easily purchase hearing aids online without a formal prescription for them. Eargo offers two discreet in-the-canal (ITC) rechargeable models and a new earbud-style model for mild to moderate hearing loss.

The company’s ITC devices fit snugly in the ear canal and are nearly invisible, making them very discreet. And they’re more comfortable to wear with glasses compared to BTE models. The medical-grade replaceable tips are made with silicone, allowing air to flow in the ear canal for a natural and comfortable fit. Eargo’s hearing aids hold up to 16 hours of power per charge, depending on your chosen model and use, and they come with a charging case. When fully charged, the case can power your Eargo hearing aids for up to three days.

Perfect for taking along for a weekend getaway! If you’re running short on time, the ITC cases also have a “fast charge” feature that gives hearing aids hours of uninterrupted sound with a 30-minute charge. For a closer look at each Eargo model, visit our in-depth Eargo review.

Pricing

Unlike many hearing aid brands, Eargo is transparent with its pricing. Eargo’s Bluetooth model, LINK, starts at $799 per pair, and prices range up to $2,950 per pair for the Eargo 7. That is about half the cost of custom hearing aids with similar features. Eargo often runs sales to bring the price down.

Bottom Line

If you are looking for a nearly invisible rechargeable hearing aid that offers solid sound quality, Eargo will deliver great value. We’re fans of their convenient charging case and straightforward device offerings. Since Eargo doesn’t require you to have a formal prescription to purchase hearing aids, it may be easier for you to get your hands on a pair. To make their products even more accessible, Eargo offers monthly payment plans and veterans discounts.

Helix from Otofonix

Overview

Otofonix sells two affordable rechargeable hearing aids directly to consumers from their website. The Otofonix Helix and Otofonix Groove rechargeable models feature four programs and ten volumes to help you hear more clearly in a variety of settings. Both provide a full day of use on a single charge. The Groove even uses Bluetooth to connect to your smartphone for streaming, a great feature if you enjoy talking on the phone, streaming music, or listening to audiobooks. Along with these two Bluetooth models, Otofonix sells a variety of different over-the-counter devices, so you can find the one that’s right for your needs.

We love that these hearing aids are user-friendly, thanks to the Otofonix smartphone app. Simply complete a hearing test and follow the fitting instructions in the app, and you’ll be all set. Within the app, you can also adjust the volume and choose one of the preset programs: Conversation, Restaurant, Traffic, and Outdoor. Learn more about the Otofonix hearing aids in our Otofonix review.

Pricing

Otofonix hearing aids are more affordable than premium offerings from other providers. A pair of Groove hearing aids costs $1,590, and the Helix model costs $1,390 per pair. The company also regularly runs sales that reduce prices even further. Otofonix also offers a 45-day money-back guarantee and free no-contact delivery.

Bottom Line

Otofonix gives seniors some advanced hearing aid features without breaking the bank. Both models offer background noise suppression so that you can focus on the sounds you actually want to hear, like a conversation rather than traffic. We also love that the Groove model supports Bluetooth streaming. If you have severe hearing loss, you’ll need to look elsewhere. However, the Groove and Helix are solid choices for seniors with mild to moderate hearing loss who want to control their devices with a smartphone.

ReSound Linx Quattro

Overview

ReSound offers several impressive, reliable, rechargeable options. The ReSound One, ReSound LiNX Quattro, ReSound Key, and ReSound LiNix 3D deliver all-day power. Simply set the hearing aids in the charger overnight, and you’ll be set for the day when you wake up. You can also use the ReSound Smart 3D app to track your battery level.

The ReSound LiNX Quattro goes a bit further. These receiver-in-ear (RIE) style hearing aids last for 30 hours on a single charge. Plus, the portable case features a built-in battery that holds three full charges of power. Learn about other features we love in this year’s ReSound review.

Pricing

ReSound doesn’t publish their hearing aid prices online because you must purchase them directly from a provider, like an audiologist. Prices for ReSound hearing aids vary depending on the model you choose and where you purchase it. In general, prescription hearing aids like these cost more. However, the cost of your hearing test, the fitting, accessories, and follow-up appointments are often included in the price.

Bottom Line

ReSound offers a number of impressive rechargeable hearing aid options suitable for mild to profound hearing loss. So it’s easy to find one that will suit your needs and last all day. With ReSound, you also have the option of a custom earmold, which can make a significant difference in your hearing aids’ comfort and performance. Finally, let’s not forget ReSound’s three smartphone apps, which let you adjust your hearing aids, track your battery life, and manage tinnitus.

Trying out Signia’s Silk hearing aids

Overview

Signia utilizes the latest technology to deliver the highest level of customer satisfaction and product quality. This provider made our list thanks to their power hearing aids, which offer up to 60 hours of use on just one charge. The company’s current rechargeable hearing aid collection includes the Active, Styletto X, Pure Charge&Go, and Motion Charge&Go X.

The first to offer contactless inductance charging, Signia’s rechargeable hearing aids provide a full day of use with an overnight charge (even with moderate Bluetooth streaming!).

Plus, the Motion X detects when you’re moving to make sure you don’t miss a single sound around you.

Pricing

Since Signia’s products can only be purchased through licensed audiologists and hearing aid professionals, you will not find the price of Signia hearing aids on the Signia website. Visit your nearest hearing center to inquire about pricing on a specific product you have in mind and the costs of different features you may be interested in adding to your hearing aid. Read our review of Signia hearing aids to learn more about your options before your visit.

Bottom Line

Shopping for a rechargeable hearing aid that is not only discreet in size but also suitable for most levels of hearing loss? Signia’s rechargeable lineup may be a wonderful choice! Signia even has its own app called myControl App, which is the industry’s most advanced remote control app. You can use this app to make easy and quick adjustments and personalize your hearing experience.
