ELEHEAR Beyond Pro Review: What It’s Like to Wear Them Every Day

Struggling to follow conversations or missing parts of a movie can be frustrating and isolating—I know the feeling.

That’s what drew me to the ELEHEAR Beyond Pro Hearing Aids. They promise clearer speech, smart noise reduction, and modern perks like Bluetooth streaming and rechargeable batteries.

I’ve been wearing them daily—at home, on calls, and in noisy places—to see if they really make a difference. Here’s what it’s like living with the Beyond Pro.

Getting Started: First Impressions & Setup

When I unboxed the ELEHEAR Beyond Pro, I was struck by how relatively compact they were—though not invisible.

The behind-the-ear (BTE) design is noticeable, especially if you have short hair, but the form felt solid and not flimsy. The charging case that comes with it is sleek, sturdy, and feels premium enough that I didn’t worry about tossing it in my bag.

The setup was intuitive. I charged both units fully first, then downloaded the Elehear app and paired them—it walked me through some initial calibration steps.

There are a few presets (Quiet, Restaurant, General, Music) and tone/volume sliders per ear. It felt familiar but still flexible enough to tweak. In short, I didn’t need a room-full of audiologists to get started.

Everyday Use: Calls, Conversations & Ambient Sound

Wearing them day to day, I noticed right away how the aids changed what I heard and how I engaged. In quiet rooms, voices became clearer, soft consonants (like “th” or “s”) popped out more than before.

I tested phone calls: they streamed directly through Bluetooth, and I didn’t have to raise my phone to hear. That was a convenience I didn’t fully appreciate until I had it.

In noisier settings—cafés, street noise, a busy household—the aids were challenged. The AI noise reduction helped, but I did notice some background hiss or static if I cranked volume too high.

At more moderate volume levels, though, voices held together. In some moments of heavy noise (construction outside, overlapping conversations), I had to manually switch to a “Noisy” preset in the app to maintain clarity.

Using them with music was interesting. The tonal balance leaned a bit bright (emphasis on mids/highs), which made vocals clear but sometimes made deeper bass feel a little flat. Still, for casual streaming or podcasts, it was more than usable.

Comfort, Fit & Wearing for Long Periods

Over hours of wearing the ELEHEAR Beyond Pro, they remained fairly comfortable. The earpieces and domes came in multiple sizes, so I swapped until I found a pair that sealed snugly but not too tight.

After a few hours, I did notice them pressing slightly behind my ear when I leaned back (such as reading in bed or wearing glasses). They’re not invisible—but not severely uncomfortable either.

Battery life surprised me. On days where I used them for calls, streaming, and ambient correction, I got close to the claimed 20 hours (though not quite). The case adds extra charges, so on busier days I felt less anxious about running out.

App & Adjustments: How Much Control Do You Get?

The app is central. It lets you switch presets, adjust volume per ear, tweak bass/treble, and set scene modes. I liked that these settings carried over between sessions.

However, I did find the app interface occasionally a bit clunky—sometimes I had to wait a moment for changes to push to the devices, or restart Bluetooth if it dropped connection briefly.

One neat feature was a built-in hearing test. It gives you a rough mapping of your hearing thresholds and suggests a preset. It’s not a full medical test, but it got me close enough to avoid wild guesswork.

I adjusted from there in daily use. Also, there’s a tinnitus masking mode—if you have ringing in your ears, you can layer ambient noise (like white noise, rainfall sounds) to mask it. I tried it briefly and it was comfortable, though subtle.

What I Loved

• The Bluetooth streaming and call integration is seamless. No extra dongles or adapters.
• The improvement in speech clarity in quiet settings was noticeable quickly.
• The charging case is robust and gives real extra battery life—less worry about midday shutdowns.
• Having multiple settings/presets means I didn’t have to rely on one “catch-all” mode.
• The app gives decent control without feeling overwhelming—good balance for tech-minded and average users.

What Could Be Better

• At higher volumes or in heavy noise, I noticed some hiss or static. Not always tolerable unless I dial it down.
• The devices are not fully discreet—they’re visible behind the ears, particularly if you have short hair or glasses.
• The app has occasional lag in syncing settings or reconnecting after Bluetooth drops.
• For very heavy hearing loss or complex hearing needs, these OTC aids may not suffice—they’re ideal for mild-to-moderate hearing profiles, not as a replacement for clinical-grade hearing devices.

Final Thoughts

Wearing the ELEHEAR Beyond Pro has altered how I experience everyday sound. It’s not magical, but it does bridge a gap—making conversations clearer, calls easier, and streams more accessible.

For someone with mild-to-moderate hearing loss or wanting a smart, rechargeable OTC aid, it’s a compelling option.

It won’t replace advanced custom hearing devices in all cases—but for what it delivers at its price and convenience, I’d say it hits its mark more often than not.
