About Soundly
i

Soundly is an independently owned hearing health research tool. Our reviews are conducted by hearing aid wearers and audiologists. We physically review the leading hearing aids on the market for sound quality, comfort, durability, and more. Our review process starts with hands-on unboxing and days, weeks, or months of wear. We also record live sound demos using a calibrated binaural microphone (read more here). We experiment with backend fitting software for prescription products and use test box measures to measure prescriptive accuracy and flexibility. Our work is funded through reader support. When you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Read more about our story here.

Lexie B1 OTC Hearing Aids Powered by Bose are an affordable hearing aid solution for folks who don't mind changing batteries every 4-5 days. They're easy to purchase, set up, and use, with ongoing support from Lexie Experts® for as long as you own them. 

Background

  • Bose created the clinically-proven method for hearing aid wearers to program their own devices using a smartphone app.
  • Bose then formed a partnership with Lexie Hearing which provides unlimited, on-demand support from award-winning Lexie Experts.
  • Customers can purchase Lexie B1 hearing aids without a doctor's prescription at some local retailers like Walgreens or here on soundly.com.


What makes Lexie B1 Special?

  • Intuitive Lexie App: The free Lexie app offers an impressive level of control and customization. Through self-tuning and a wealth of educational resources, the app guides you through your hearing aid setup and adjustment period. Standout features include easy-to-use directionality controls, adjustments for Treble, Bass, World Volume, and Balance, and direct access to customer service via live video, chat, or phone support.
  • Self-Fitting: One of the key advantages of the Lexie B1 is its self-fitting capability. Using the Lexie app, you can fit, tune, and adjust your hearing aids to meet your individual needs, achieving audiologist-quality customization. The package includes three different sizes of open and closed domes and a size 2 RIC (receiver-in-canal) wire to help you find the most comfortable fit. If you need a different size RIC wire, Lexie offers a free replacement within the first 45 days of ownership.
  • In-App Hearing Test: The in-app hearing test is a convenient feature that allows you to tailor your hearing aids to your unique hearing profile. After taking the test, the app provides optional recommended settings, enabling precise self-tuning.
  • Background Noise Management: The Lexie B1 Powered by Bose is strong in noisy environments, thanks to its advanced noise management technologies and feedback cancellation. The dual microphones can switch between "Everywhere" and "Front" modes, giving you the flexibility to focus on sounds from all around or just in front of you, enhancing your listening experience in various situations.
  • Replaceable Batteries: Replaceable 312 zinc-air batteries are included so that you don't have to plan your day around recharging your hearing aids. In most use cases, each set of new batteries should provide 4-5 days of use.
  • On-Device Volume Controls: Each hearing aid is equipped with a toggle switch for easy volume adjustments and power control. Voice prompts notify you when you've reached the maximum and minimum volume levels, adding to the overall ease of use.
  • Research-Backed Performance: Lexie devices were used in a recent study from the Journal of the American Medical Association which found similar outcomes between over-the-counter and prescription programming methods, highlighting the efficacy of Lexie's hearing aids and app. This research supports the quality and reliability of the Lexie devices, reinforcing its status as one of the top choices for OTC hearing aids.
  • Award-Winning Customer Service: You’re covered with unlimited, on-demand support – via phone, live video, or live chat. Lexie Experts support with setup during the first 45 days of ownership and are available ongoing for trouble-shooting, questions and maintenance.
  • Warranty: Lexie B1 hearing aids come with a 1-year warranty that covers manufacturing and performance defects. Within that 1-year period, if you find your hearing aids to be defective, Lexie will repair or replace them free of charge.

Who is this product for?

We find that Lexie B1 is great option for folks with mild-moderate hearing loss who appreciate simple setup process and strong all-around features. At less than $750 per pair, Lexie B1 is a great option for value shoppers who don't mind (or prefer) changing batteries. to Many of our customers compare Lexie B1 Plus to Sennheiser All Day Clear. Shoppers with severe/profound hearing loss typically get better results through a local clinic.

If you aren't sure which product is best for you, text or email our team for a personalized recommendation.

Our Take

The Lexie B1 offers sound quality comparable to the Sennheiser All Day Clear and Jabra Enhance Select. While we give Sennheiser a slight edge in handling background noise, both options are excellent, and personal preference will ultimately play a significant role in choosing the best one for you.

The Lexie B1 has an edge over alternatives for its robust smartphone app, easy setup, and award-winning customer service. There's a reason this hearing aid has climbed to the top spot among OTC sellers in the U.S.

  • Strong underlying technology
