Enhance Pro

Review by eFreeware

Most hearing aid apps are utilities you open, adjust and forget. Enhance Pro is built around the idea that the phone becomes the control surface for the hearing aids themselves, and that the hearing care professional stays involved from a distance rather than only in the clinic. That combination of day-to-day control and remote care is the most distinctive thing about it.

It comes from GN Hearing and is the companion app for Jabra Enhance Pro hearing aids. The app is free, which is worth stating plainly because that is not always the case in this category. It is for people who already wear compatible Jabra aids and want to manage them from an Android phone rather than through a separate remote.

The numbers back up a reasonably settled product: more than 100,000 installs and a 4.5 average across 7,675 ratings. It first appeared in May 2021 and was updated in March 2026, so it is a mature app rather than a new one finding its feet.

What you actually do with it

The core of the app is direct control. You can change programs, adjust the volume on the hearing aids themselves and mute them, and adjust the volume of streaming accessories separately. Those are the adjustments most people reach for during a day, and having them in one place on the phone is the main convenience the app offers.

Beyond the basics, there is a level of personalization that goes further than a simple volume slider. You can adjust treble, middle and bass to your own preferences, and rename programs so that the labels match what you actually use them for. That last point matters more than it sounds: a program called something meaningful to you is easier to pick correctly than one labeled with a default name.

The app also sets out to teach as it goes. The developer says the app helps you understand each setting and what it changes, so the intent seems to be that nothing is left a mystery. For anyone new to hearing aids, that framing is more welcoming than a bare list of controls.

Sound Enhancer and tone shaping

The more advanced sound work happens in Sound Enhancer. There you can adjust speech focus along with noise and wind-noise levels, which speaks directly to the situations where hearing aids are hardest to live with: a room with background chatter, or the outdoors on a breezy day. Being able to nudge those levels yourself, rather than waiting for a fitting appointment, is the appeal.

Tone adjustment sits alongside it. Treble, middle and bass can be moved to your preferences, so if a program sounds too bright or too dull to you, there is a way to shift it without asking anyone else to do it for you.

There is an important qualifier here, and the developer is upfront about it: these features depend on your hearing aid model and on how your hearing care professional has fitted the aids. Sound Enhancer and the tone controls are not guaranteed to appear or to behave identically for every wearer. If you are weighing the app before a fitting, that is the part to raise with your clinician.

Favorites, battery and finding lost aids

Favorites are where the personalization pays off. Favorites hold your preferred settings, and each one can be tied to a place. That means a set of adjustments you made in a noisy restaurant or in a car can be recalled later rather than rebuilt from scratch. It is a small feature that changes how much fiddling a day involves.

For rechargeable hearing aids, the app shows battery status. Knowing how much charge is left before you head out is the kind of unglamorous information that prevents an awkward afternoon, and having it in the same place as your sound controls keeps you from hunting for it elsewhere.

The app can also help you locate hearing aids that have been lost or misplaced. Anyone who has taken an aid out on a busy morning and then forgotten where it went will understand why this is on the list. It is one of those features you hope never to need and are glad exists when you do.

The tinnitus tools

For wearers whose aids support it, there is a tinnitus manager. The Tinnitus Sound Generator can be tuned for variation and frequency, and Nature Sounds can be picked. Rather than a single fixed tone, this gives you something to shape to your own comfort.

The tinnitus tools are best treated as something to confirm during a fitting rather than something to assume will be present.

Where they are available, the value is that adjustment happens on your own terms. Tinnitus varies by day and by setting, and being able to change the sound without booking an appointment is a meaningful convenience for the people this is built for.

Remote help and streaming

The app's second half is about not having to travel. The app also connects you with your hearing care professional for adjustments and updates. The developer's framing is that this spares you a trip to the clinic, and for anyone who lives far from their clinic or finds appointments hard to arrange, that is the headline feature.

Compatible hearing aids can also connect to compatible Android phones for direct audio streaming, so audio from the phone goes to the aids. The app includes a Direct Audio Streaming menu under My Enhance Pro where you can check whether your phone supports it. That check is worth doing early, because streaming depends on both the aids and the phone being on the compatible list.

The practical consequence is that two separate compatibility questions sit behind this app: whether your hearing aids work with it, and whether your phone supports streaming. Both are answered on the Jabra support pages the developer points to, and I would look there before installing rather than after.

What it asks of you

The trade-offs here are mostly about fit rather than cost. The app is free, so there is no cost to weigh. What it does require is compatible Jabra Enhance Pro hearing aids, and a compatible Android phone if you want direct audio streaming.

Two people with the same app and the same phone can see different options, and that is by design rather than a fault.

The app is also, by its nature, a companion. It is built to work with the hearing aids and the care relationship around them, not as a standalone sound tool. That is not a criticism, but it does define what it can do for you.

The recent update is described only as general performance and stability improvements, which is a modest note rather than a feature release. Nothing here suggests a change in what the app does.

Who it is built for

The combination of everyday controls, saved favorites, battery status, aid finding, tinnitus tools and remote adjustments from your clinician covers a lot of what you would otherwise handle through appointments or a separate remote.

It also suits anyone whose clinic is a long way away, or whose schedule makes visits awkward. Remote settings and software updates are the features that speak most directly to that situation.

If you are not wearing compatible Jabra aids, there is nothing here to install. The app's whole purpose is to control and personalize a specific family of devices, and its value rises and falls with how well your aids and phone match the compatibility information the developer publishes.

A companion worth having if your aids match

Enhance Pro does the job its name suggests: it enhances what your hearing aids can do by putting control, personalization and remote care on your phone. The free price removes the usual hesitations, and a 4.5 average from a substantial number of ratings suggests it has settled into its role.

The caveats are structural rather than fixable. It needs compatible Jabra hearing aids, some features depend on the model and the fitting, and streaming needs a compatible Android phone. None of that is a flaw in the app; it is the shape of the product.

If you wear Jabra Enhance Pro aids and your phone is on the compatible list, I would install it and set up a couple of favorites early, then check which Sound Enhancer and tinnitus options your fitting has made available. If your aids are from another family, this app has nothing to offer you.
