The OTC Jabra Enhance Select 300 is similar in size to prescription Jabra Pro 10 (both RIC) and maybe very similar product.
The 300 with Premium (additional well worth $200) package is $2000 total (insurance may help a little on this). Costco in store prescription products (not online Costco) are much less cost. Pro 20 is latest Jabra tech, somewhat smaller and you get REM (this is huge to me).
OTC products with required limited output do not output enough (or if so just barely with no headroom) for full fit for my loss in the mid and above frequencies, even though I am classified as moderate loss. OTC limit? Edit: I’m not positive on this issue after reading link. (I’m 65 db @ 4000hz).
I do not see how Jabra 300 can reasonably do a proper fit since there is no hearing measurement done with product in ears. They are, in theory programmed to online tones (which can’t measure dB) or programmed to audiogram. My trial 300 (with after adjustment period setting) were about 30/40 db below ideal hearing at 4000 hz. A specialist does make adjustments over Zoom meeting and live product changes. So why were my 300 set so low if they were based on audiogram? I discussed this with two very capable and friendly specialists, but I got nowhere. Jabra should have encouraged me to buy prescription products.
If someone does not have the money for Costco HA or other then OTC might be much better than nothing IF hearing loss fits the bill (have a knowledgeable person review your audiogram vs OTC abilities!! Costco would do this for free). For me there was a major improvement over no HA but speech clarity with higher pitched people is lacking with the settings provided. Specialist possibly could have increased output some but it would be a guessing game.
Some OTC cost less than $1000 but compare IP ratings, warranty…
Some OTC products do some in ear sound tests through their device but I can’t speak to how good the fit is with them.
