The only likely candidate is been, which sounds like bin (short I vowel sound).
There are prefixed words such as reenter and preeminent which have both a long E and short E (or rarely I). In some pronunciations, some of these may lose the long E (e.g. preelection).
There are also French words, such as sautéed and fiancée, which have a long A sound instead.
