Sennheiser's All-Day Clear is an over-the-counter hearing aid for mild to moderate hearing loss, built on technology from Sonova, the company behind Phonak. It tops HearingTracker's real-world OTC rankings and streams audio and hands-free calls from both iPhone and Android, with up to 24 hours of rechargeable battery. At roughly $800–$1,000 per pair — down from $1,399.95 at launch in 2023 — it's one of the stronger values in premium OTC.

At a Glance
What we like
- Arguably the best price-to-performance in premium OTC after cuts to about $800
- Streams and takes hands-free calls on both iPhone and Android
- Exceptional speech clarity in quiet with rock-solid feedback control
- Built on technology from Sonova, Phonak's parent company
Worth knowing
- Setup relies on preference questions, not a true audiogram-based fit
- Charging case uses dated micro-USB and holds no backup charge
- Speech-in-noise performance is only modest
- No LE Audio, Auracast, or telecoil; Slim variant was discontinued
A great fit if you…
want a top-rated OTC hearing aid that streams music and calls from either iPhone or Android for far less than a prescription fit
Look elsewhere if you…
struggle most in noisy restaurants, or need a telecoil, Auracast, or a true audiogram-based fit
Standout Features
- HearAdvisor SoundGrade A and #1 in HearingTracker's OTC real-world scoring
- Classic Bluetooth streaming and hands-free calls, connected to two devices at once
- Guided speech-based self-fitting, with optional professional in-clinic programming
- Automatic scene detection with Conversation in Quiet and Conversation in Noise modes
- Up to 24 hours per charge, plus IP68 dust and water resistance
- Wind-noise reduction, 3-band EQ, and perfect lab feedback-control scores

Our Take
Sonova — the hearing-care giant behind Phonak — built this receiver-in-canal OTC aid, and that pedigree shows up where it counts. Independent testing backs it: a HearAdvisor SoundGrade A and the top spot in HearingTracker's real-world OTC scoring. Speech in quiet is exceptionally clear, feedback control earned perfect lab scores, and unlike Sony or Apple's hearing options, it streams and takes hands-free calls from Android as well as iPhone. A guided, speech-based setup gets you fitted at home, and you can have it professionally programmed in a clinic if you want more precision.
The price has come down a long way — from $1,399.95 at launch to roughly $800–$1,000 today — but it's worth knowing what that money still doesn't buy. Self-fitting works from preference questions rather than an actual audiogram, so the tuning is less exact than a professional fit. Speech-in-noise performance is only modest — busy restaurants are not its strength. The charging case runs on dated micro-USB with no internal battery for top-ups away from home, and there's no LE Audio, Auracast, or telecoil. The Slim variant has also been discontinued, leaving one style.
For a first pair covering mild to moderate loss, it makes a strong case. It sits well under the $1,500–$1,600 Philips HearLink 9050 at Costco, and the extra spend over a budget option like the $599 ELEHEAR Beyond Pro buys independently verified, best-in-class OTC performance. If quiet-conversation clarity and streaming matter more to you than restaurant noise, this is the premium OTC pick.

Sennheiser All-Day Clear Questions
At its current price of roughly $800–$1,000 per pair, yes — it launched at $1,399.95 in 2023, so today's pricing is a substantial discount on a device that still tops HearingTracker's real-world OTC rankings and carries a HearAdvisor SoundGrade A. You get Bluetooth streaming, hands-free calls, and 24-hour battery life. Just know that speech-in-noise performance is modest and the fitting uses preference questions rather than an audiogram.
The ELEHEAR Beyond Pro costs less at $599 per pair, while the All-Day Clear runs about $800–$1,000. The extra money buys independently verified performance — the All-Day Clear earned a HearAdvisor SoundGrade A and ranked #1 in HearingTracker's real-world OTC scoring — plus Sonova (Phonak) technology and the option of professional in-clinic programming. Both are OTC devices for mild to moderate hearing loss.
Yes. Unlike the Sony and Apple OTC hearing options, the All-Day Clear streams audio and handles hands-free calls on both Android and iPhone using classic Bluetooth, and it can stay connected to two devices at once. It does not support LE Audio or Auracast, though. The companion All-Day Clear app manages settings, including a 3-band EQ.
The rechargeable battery lasts up to 24 hours per charge, which comfortably covers a full day including streaming. There is no disposable-battery option. One caveat: the charging case uses an older micro-USB connection and has no internal battery of its own, so it can't recharge the aids on the go — you'll need to plug the case in each night.
