If you have hearing loss and constant ringing, an ordinary day gets hard in specific places. A work call is hard to follow. The dinner table, with two kids talking over each other, is harder. At night, when the house goes quiet, the ringing seems to get louder. A hearing aid has to earn its price in those moments, and a $799 hearing aid has to earn it twice.
This Elehear Beyond 2 Pro review asks one question: does it help with hearing loss and the ringing that comes with it, or is it simply a capable over-the-counter hearing aid? I am a pharmacist who lives with tinnitus, so I read the specs with that question in mind. I have not tested this pair myself yet. The details come from the Amazon listing, and I mark clearly what you still need to confirm before buying.
Quick Verdict
- Best for: perceived mild to moderate hearing loss, with tinnitus that is worse in noisy rooms or quiet evenings, and you are comfortable with a phone app
- Not for: severe hearing loss, ringing in one ear only, sudden symptoms, or anyone who wants an in-person fitting
- Price: $799 on Amazon (plus shipping and import charges for South Africa)
- My take: a well-specified OTC aid. Better hearing can make ringing less intrusive, but it will not cure it. Elehear lists tinnitus masking sounds, and there is a 45-day trial (return shipping is on you).
What the Elehear Beyond 2 Pro Is
The Beyond 2 Pro is a rechargeable OTC hearing aid sold by Elehear and listed on Amazon at $799.
It is FDA-registered as an over-the-counter hearing aid for perceived mild to moderate hearing loss. “Over the counter” means you can buy it without a prescription or a hearing test, and you set it up yourself with the app.
Specifications from the listing:
- Weight: 4.3 g per aid
- Protection: IP67 (dust and water)
- Noise handling: VocClear 3.0 noise reduction
- Connectivity: Bluetooth 5.3 with Auracast
- Battery: about 20 hours per charge, with the case providing roughly four extra charges (sources differ, so check your listing)
- Recharge time: 1.5 hours
- Support: ElePro Basic remote review, with optional ElePro Plus in 27 US states
- Warranty: 1-year limited
What is in the box: the pair, a portable charging case and spare receivers. Elehear’s other models also ship with domes, wax guards and a charging cable. Check the “What’s in the box” section on your listing to confirm, because those are the items you would otherwise end up buying separately.
Elehear also sells the original Beyond Pro, the older and cheaper model. If your budget is tight, compare the two side by side.
Tinnitus: What Hearing Aids Can and Cannot Do
Tinnitus is the perception of sound, often ringing, buzzing or hissing, when no outside sound is present. It has many causes, and for many people it comes with some degree of hearing loss.
When hearing drops, the brain gets less input, and the ringing can become more noticeable against the quieter background.
A hearing aid helps in two ways. First, it amplifies the sounds around you, such as voices, the dishwasher, and traffic. That gives your brain real sound to attend to, and the tinnitus often becomes less prominent. Second, some hearing aids include sound therapy features, usually gentle noise or tones that partly cover the ringing.
A hearing aid does not make tinnitus go away, and it will not treat what caused it. If you buy one expecting silence, you will be disappointed. The realistic goal is that the ringing bothers you less, particularly in conversation and in the evening.
Masking sounds on this model: Elehear lists tinnitus masking sounds in the app for this model. I could not confirm how many, so check the current list on the Elehear site before you buy. Treat masking as a way to take the edge off the ringing, not as a treatment.
A pharmacist’s note: some medicines can affect hearing or cause ringing. New or sudden tinnitus deserves a conversation with your doctor or pharmacist, whatever you decide about hearing aids. Ringing in one ear only, or ringing that starts suddenly, should be checked promptly.
If you are curious about the high-end clinic route, I also looked at Lenire, the tongue-stimulation device. It costs far more and is not available everywhere, which is why hearing aids are the practical first step for most people.
Sound Quality and VocClear 3.0 Noise Handling
The main sound feature the listing highlights is VocClear 3.0 noise reduction. The name signals that it is aimed at speech in noisy places, which is the situation most people with hearing loss complain about first: restaurants, school pick-ups, open-plan offices and family dinners.
What to listen for once you have a pair in your ears:
- Voices in a busy room. Can you follow one person across a table, or does everything blur?
- Your own voice. Some people find it boomy with any hearing aid. Ear tip fit affects this.
- Background hiss. With tinnitus, extra electronic hiss can irritate. Notice it in a quiet room.
- Sudden sounds. Cutlery, a slammed door or a child’s shriek should not be painfully sharp.
Noise reduction cannot remove noise entirely. Even the best systems make speech easier but never make a loud restaurant quiet. Treat “clear voices in noise” as a direction, not a guarantee.
For tinnitus, the quiet-room test matters as much as the noisy-room test. Put the aids in at home in the evening and see whether the ringing feels better, worse or unchanged. That is your most useful data, and it is why the return terms matter.
Battery, Comfort, Design and IP67
At 4.3 g per aid, the Beyond 2 Pro is light.
A hearing aid you wear for 12 hours should be one you forget about, and ear fatigue is a common reason people stop using theirs. Fit still depends on your ear shape and the tip you choose, so try every tip size supplied and give each a full day.
The aids are rated for about 20 hours per charge and take about 1.5 hours to recharge. HearingTracker says the case gives roughly four extra charges (the Amazon listing words it as about 4 extra hours, so check yours). A normal waking day fits inside 20 hours, so you can charge overnight and start full. Real battery life shifts with volume and streaming, so treat 20 hours as best case.
IP67 means protection against dust and temporary immersion under test conditions. That helps with sweat, rain and the odd splash. It does not make them swim-ready. Earwax and moisture still need regular cleaning.
Bluetooth 5.3 with Auracast covers streaming calls and music. Auracast lets compatible venues broadcast audio to many receivers, but public support is still limited, so I would not buy on that feature alone.
App, Setup and ElePro Basic Remote Support
OTC hearing aids are set up by you, so the app and the support behind it matter more than with a clinic-fitted device.
The listing names ElePro Basic remote review as part of the package. Elehear also offers ElePro Plus in 27 US states, and the listing does not say what it adds. If you live elsewhere, ElePro Basic is what you have.
Setup tips:
- Do the initial setup in a quiet room, then test in a normal-sounding room
- Change one setting at a time
- Build up wearing time gradually over the first days
- Write down what is hard to hear, because a remote reviewer can act on that
If tinnitus is your main complaint, be careful with volume. Too much gain can leave you with louder ringing afterwards. Gentle, gradual settings are better.
Price, Warranty and Trial
The listing price was $799 on 2026-10-24.
Amazon prices change and coupons come and go, so confirm the live price before deciding. The warranty is 1 year, limited, so read what is excluded (water damage, loss, misuse).
Trial period: Elehear offers a 45-day trial. Return shipping is paid by you, which matters if you are ordering from South Africa. Confirm whether your Amazon order is returned through Amazon or Elehear, because the process can differ. For a first-time buyer with tinnitus, trial terms matter more than a $50 price difference, because you only learn whether the aids help in real use.

What Buyers Say
At the time of checking, the listing showed 4.6 out of 5 from 21 reviews.
That is encouraging, but 21 reviews is a small sample and a few new reviews could move the average. When you read them yourself, filter for people who mention tinnitus or ear fit.

Who It Suits, and Who Should See a Doctor or Audiologist First
A reasonable fit if you:
- Struggle to follow speech in groups or noisy rooms
- Believe your loss is mild to moderate
- Are comfortable setting up an app and adjusting your own settings
- Want a rechargeable, lightweight aid with phone streaming
See a doctor or audiologist first if you have:
- Ringing in one ear only, or clearly different hearing between ears
- Sudden hearing loss or sudden-onset tinnitus
- Dizziness, ear pain, discharge or a feeling of fullness
- Tinnitus that pulses with your heartbeat
- Hearing loss that may be more than mild to moderate
- Tinnitus that disturbs your sleep, mood or work, where a clinician can offer therapy beyond a device
A proper hearing test also gives you a baseline, so you can judge whether a self-fitted aid is doing the job.
South Africa Note: Shipping, Import Charges, Returns and Warranty
If you are in South Africa, the listing showed $144.38 for shipping and import charges on top of the $799, so the total is considerably higher than the headline price. Amazon.co.za may show different pricing, so compare both stores for your address.
Before you order, check:
- Whether the $144.38 covers all duty and VAT, or whether you could be billed again on delivery
- How returns work from South Africa and who pays return shipping
- Whether the 1-year warranty is honoured in South Africa and where you would send a faulty aid
- That ElePro Basic remote review works for you (ElePro Plus is US-only)
Returns and warranty support are the biggest risks when buying a hearing aid across borders. If a fit problem means shipping the aids back at your own cost, that eats into any saving.
My Honest Take
The Beyond 2 Pro looks like a well-equipped OTC hearing aid: light, rechargeable, water resistant, aimed at speech in noise, and backed by remote support. If you have mild to moderate hearing loss, those features deserve attention, and 4.6 out of 5 from 21 reviews is encouraging, if a small sample.
As a pharmacist who lives with tinnitus, my view is simple. Better hearing can make ringing less intrusive, and that may be all you need. The masking sounds are a useful extra, but check the list first. At $799 plus possible extra charges, the trial and return terms are what protect you.
