With Jabra Enhance Pro, people can now choose high-quality, FDA-approved hearing solutions from an audio brand that is widely known and trusted by consumers, conveniently available when shopping at their local Costco. Users will benefit from GN’s latest hearing innovation, the unique Microphone and Receiver in Ear (M&RIE), to hear the world around them in the most intuitive and natural way. Clinical studies show that 9 out of ten users prefer the sound quality when using M&RIE, and that they can recognize location of sounds 90% more accurately. ii,iii The new range includes three popular RIE-style hearing aids that are packed with the latest features, including rechargeable options with up to 30 hours of power from one charge, direct streaming from iOS and Android™ devices and future-proof Bluetooth® Low Energy.
