Elehear Beyond Pro shows improved audio quality and stronger bass, while static and hiss persist at high amplification levels. Volume adjustments are available per ear via the app or physical rockers. The devices are not tunable, but the app provides a bass/treble "tone" control and five noise-cancellation settings. Preloaded modes include Music, Restaurant, TV, and General, plus four customizable modes, with limited variation across modes. Phone calls are crisp. A basic in-app hearing test offers informational results without tuning guidance. A tinnitus mode is included. Remote sound capture, audio translation, and directional-listening adjustments have been removed. Battery life is about 20 hours.
Just like the original, the Beyond Pro is not tunable, but you can use the app to adjust a sort of bass/treble "tone" effect and adjust noise cancellation (now knocked down from the previous eight levels to five, which is still plenty). In addition to the new Music mode, environmental modes for Restaurant, TV, and General use are preloaded-along with four extra modes you can set yourself.
I don't have the original Elehear Beyond hearing aids on hand anymore, but I would agree that there have been some improvements to audio quality-though at high levels of amplification, the static and hiss issues remain overwhelming. As with the old Beyonds, volume can be adjusted per ear in the app or with the rockers on the back of both hearing aids.
The Beyond Pro hearing aids now include a basic hearing test, but this is really just for your edification and can't be used to tune the hearing aid settings. It's a standard ping test at various frequencies and volumes, and after I completed the 10-minute experience, I was given results that stated, "The test results indicate potential [sic] hearing loss" in each ear and no guidance on how to manage that loss.
