It costs about $100 more than its predecessor, but Steve measured improved performance in background noise in the lab:

Elehear Beyond Pro: Lab Testing Reveals Devices as a Top OTC Hearing Aid Choice131

Elehear Beyond Pro is a $599 self-fitting hearing aid that impressed me with its clear sound, strong speech-in-noise performance, and great value—despite a few minor drawbacks.

Looking at your you have a difficult hearing loss to fit. You need real deal hearing aids fit properly.

Is this your first set of aids?

I have to agree with @Raudrive. Elehear are intended for mild to moderate hearing loss at worse, so you would not be a candidate in the right ear and the left ear has a sharply sloping configuration, which is a little trickier, especially with devices. You would definitely want real-ear measurements to ensure you get the right volume at the right frequencies.

I picked up the beyonds to have as a travel, out on the boat backups. I had the Starkey Edge AI24 for 45 days then returned them as the where very hot and tried the Resound Viva 9 had them for a few weeks did not like them at all Starkey is better. I now I am picking up Phonak Infinio Spheres i90 with Ultra update next week. The one I really wanted to try but insurance will not cover is Oticon Intent 1 I can get the 4’s I am 100% covered up to $6000 every 3 years

Hearing aids for 20+ years, $6000, $3200, $2800, all out of pocket. It seems that they work for about 2 years and I start having problems. Sometimes I can get in under warranty, sometimes they’re out. That’s where I stand now…had a pair of Starkey’s rebuilt just before warranty was up, now 9 months later one has died. I did not buy the extended warranty on these, very expensive! I a looking at the Elehear Beyond or Beyond Pro. Hearing is moderate to profound (don’t have a current ). My main concern is something that will work well in noisy environments, I am not concerned about music quality. Will the noisy environment improvement in the Elehear BeyondPro be significant over the Beyond? Enough to warrant the extra $200. Thanks for your thoughts. R

Thank you for your input. Still beats what I’ve spent in the past, and your review gives me some good background. R
