Still have questions?
We have answers

  • Jabra Enhance Plus is a self-fitting, over-the-counter (OTC) hearing aid that is compliant with the FDA's medical device regulations. It is for use by adults 18 and over with mild to moderate hearing loss, and does not require the supervision, prescription, or other order, involvement, or intervention of a licensed professional.

  • Jabra Enhance Plus may look like a consumer electronics product, but inside, it is made of all medical-grade components. These medical-grade components provide better quality of amplification than less costly consumer-grade components. Medical-grade components are also typically smaller, and this has enabled the designers to create a more discreet and comfortable earbud.

    Jabra Enhance Plus was developed and manufactured under the FDA's medical device regulations and quality control systems. The solution has been through the same thorough testing as GN's world-class hearing aids.

  • Not only does the small size of the earbud provide comfort, but the very low weight means that the earbud feels less noticeable in the ear. The Jabra Enhance Plus earbud is around half the weight of other small true wireless earbuds on the market. The lighter design is also less likely to fall out of the ear.

  • Jabra Enhance Plus utilizes Bayesian Pure Tone Audiometry (BPTA), an automated process using a statistical analysis of thousands of existing audiograms, combined with your inputs to determine your hearing thresholds.

    Entering your age and gender into the app generates an initial estimate for the hearing threshold. The app then plays targeted warble tones in each earbud, to iteratively increase the certainty of the hearing threshold. When BPTA has determined the threshold, the appropriate gains are programmed to the earbuds based on the NAL-NL2 fitting formula.

  • When the personalization has been completed, you will be asked to listen to a recorded conversation and fine tune your hearing profile by selecting one of the following filter options. The filter is then applied to music and to amplified sounds.

    • Normal — This is your baseline personalization profile.
    • Clear — This filter setting reduces bass frequencies and increases treble frequencies from the baseline personalization.
    • Full — This filter setting slightly increases bass frequencies and reduces treble frequencies from the baseline personalization.

    You can revisit these filters anytime after the personalization process by following these steps.

    • Make sure your earbuds are paired with your smartphone.
    • Tap the menu icon in the top right corner of the Jabra Enhance app.
    • Tap My profile.
    • Adjust the filter to your preference. Listening to the recorded conversation is optional.
  • Listen Modes are predefined settings designed for different situations. There are three Listen Modes to choose from - Adaptive, Focus and Surround.

    • Adaptive mode automatically enhances speech and sounds based on your surroundings and the conversations around you. Adaptive mode is the default Listen Mode.
    • Focus mode uses directional beamforming microphones to focus on sounds in front of you, such as one-on-one conversation.
    • Surround mode allows you to hear more of surrounding ambient sounds

    Note: When you are listening to music or on a call, the Listen mode is automatically locked to Surround mode.

  • Jabra Enhance Plus uses some of the same advanced technology that GN hearing aids are known for. Jabra and GN leveraged their extensive knowledge to optimize each feature of this product.

    • Warp Compressor — Sound is analyzed using resolution similar to the human ear, to obtain the most natural sound quality.
    • Digital Noise Reduction — Improves listening comfort for both stationary and impact noises while keeping speech clear. An appropriate level of noise reduction is automatically applied based on the listening situation.
    • Digital Feedback Suppression — Two control systems keep feedback whistling from interfering with high quality amplification of sound.
    • Binaural Beamformer — Directionality using an ultra-narrow beam, isolates sounds coming from in front of you, so you can hear clearly in challenging situations.
  • Jabra Enhance Plus provides people who experience mild to moderate hearing loss with audio enhancement across the frequency spectrum. The personalization process of the Jabra Enhance Plus earbuds will customize the specific gains provided at given frequencies for each individual user. The fitting range for Jabra Enhance Plus is illustrated in the following graph.

    WARNING: If you are younger than 18, do not use this.

    • You can't hear speech even if the room is quiet
    • You don't hear loud sounds well, for example, you don't hear loud music, power tools, engines, or other very noisy things

    If your hearing loss makes it hard to hear loud noises, this hearing aid may not be your best choice without help from a professional. If this hearing aid does not help you enough, ask for help from a hearing healthcare professional.
