Looks good to me, though I'm no expert on hearing aids. IP67 rated, , Bluetooth streaming, previous generation highly regarded, some limited support from an Elehear audiologist. From a chat session with Elehear, my understanding is that this device can be programmed per an . Perhaps I'm a fool but will probably buy this before seeing any reviews. It does have a 45 day return policy.

That'd be great to see/hear a real world based review, hopefully they'll be as good as they seem!

@grbreaks , I would also be interested in your take on the new offering from Elehear. Also, it would be helpful if at that time you posted your . My audiogram indicates I am not a good candidate for . As a backup, I bought Apple Air Pro 3 with the hearing assistance program which I find are somewhat helpful, but not unsurprisingly, as good as my Oticon Real 3 HA.

@portage My understanding after using their chat box on the webpage is that this thing can be programmed to an , either by the customer using the cell phone app (which can also conduct a hearing test) or by having the staff at elehear load the 's up remotely after you email the audiogram. I could be wrong, we'll see how this goes. It's been ordered.

The Elehear Beyond 2 Pro 's arrived today, shipped quickly by mail from Chico California. Saw a number of "special deals" pop up once I had given them an email address and phone number, with $30 off, $40 off, and a 15% off limited time offer. Took that last one, so price was $679 instead of $799. All in all a rather confusing bit of marketing. Haven't had time to evaluate them, and since my old ones are $45 Twitch HA's off of Amazon you may not want my opinion anyway.

Here's an informative 15 minute video from Matthew Allsop of Hearing Tracker. This is his evaluation based on information released by Elehear at launch, he has not yet tested these new HA's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKS_tA-7uM8 2

In the video he states that many features of the Beyond 2 Pro remain the same as on the Beyond Pro, the significant upgrades are:

VOCCLEAR 3.0 is their newest "" sound processing that should magically determine which voice of many you really want to listen to.

A slightly smaller and lighter design

Sound personalization in the app such as bass and treble controls

The IP67 rating means it is less likely to be damaged by a bit of rain.

Replaceable receivers (and receiver wires) mean that fixing damage there does not require buying a new HA.

He also states that like the older version, the max gain is 50dB. This places a limit on how severe a hearing loss these HA's can deal with.
