@user-yn5bm2cf4g 2 місяці тому

I've seen a few of your videos and I appreciate them, thanks for taking the time. I have had the Oticon Intent 1 hearing aids for a little over a week now, after having Real 1s for just shy a month. I'm sure I need to get back to the audiologist for a settings update, but at the moment, I don't like them. For one, they have a rather nasty feedback squeal, whenever I brush my ear, or take on/off my glasses. That and the "head in a bucket" sound is more pronounced. I haven't really noticed any profound or even significant difference in speech quality in crowds yet, but may need more time out to be sure. Hopefully, they can adjust out these 2 sound issues. The other deficiencies you mentioned (Thickness, battery replacement, portable charger, ear wire replacement, etc) taken individually are not too much a burden, but all together are quite a big downer. Unless someone spends a lot of time in crowds and open areas, is there truly a reason to select these over the Reals?

@Rfinnshw 2 місяці тому

Thanks for your comments I found them very helpful.👍👏

@jenniferdowney6578 Місяць тому

I struggle with the intent bulkiness. I had the Reals for 2 weeks, got on well with them but then the wires made the top of my ears really sore. My audiologist changed to new intent . For one thing the wires are much better shape but as I wear glasses all the time the intents are nowhere near as comfortable as the Reals. So I have a quandary as far as the physical experience of using the reals/ intents. Not sure that I prefer the sound either but everyone is raving about the new technology. 😮

@user-yn5bm2cf4g Місяць тому

Follow-up on my original comment: I have since returned to the REAL hearing aids. There were just too many deficiencies vs advantages between the Intent and the Real, in my case. (sound quality (significant), non-office-replaceable battery, non-office-replaceable wire assy, inner ear fit/angle was different enough to be bothersome, thickness, not a charging case, exposed charging points). Mind you, some of these may very well have more to do with my lifestyle, than the product. I'm a 63 yo engineer, who works from home. I wear glasses all the time. I may go out to a restaurant once every few months. I go to store regularly, but little else on a regular basis. I have a bunch of younger grand kids, and hearing them is important. After some research, it seems most of the upgrades to the Intent may have more to do with people who spend more time out in crowds, and for them, the Intents may be a better choice. The sound quality, even after adjustments by the audiologist, were not near as good as the Reals, for me. I started to have difficulty understanding both my wife and younger grand daughters (higher freq stuff). The wind noise, while driving in my truck with the window open was much, much worse, to the point I would close the window. The crinkling plastic noise from my very short hair touching the hearing aids was constant whenever I spoke and louder than my speech. Removing my glasses often pulled the aids loose or off, even with the whip attached. Again, these issues could all be lifestyle related, so I wouldn't advise against buying them, but be sure to try both, before you decide.

@user-yn5bm2cf4g Місяць тому

oh, and one more thing. I have tinnitus something awful. The Intent and Reals seems to handle that the same, no noticeable difference.

@bjornart Місяць тому

@@user-yn5bm2cf4gI have tried the Intents for a few days. My audiologist only provided 1 program wheras I had 4 with the Reals. I too feel that I hear speech better with the Reals. Strange. Could be some settings that the audiologist need to do. Thanks for your input!

@lauramaeda7214 2 місяці тому

Thank you for the detailed review of the Oticon Intent. It appears that most of the hype surrounding the Intent was accurate. There still seems to be a few dealbreakers for my current needs. As my devices were purchased a year ago, i do not feel the need to replace my Phonak Lumity devices at this time. While i love my Apple devices, i also love my Samsung Galaxy A53 5G phone for its additional accessibility features. The listed features that would be nice to have however i can probably wait until Auracast has been installed in more venues to invest is newer technology. This information has been very helpful.

@user-ix3vm7ev3b Місяць тому

I just got my new Oticon Intent hearing aids yesterday and love them. I've been using Resound hearing aids for years and was reluctant to change, but based on the recommendations from my audiologist, I made the jump. As someone that loves technology, toys and new features, I'm so glad I made the change. I've been making a list of pros and cons for my follow-up appointment with my audiologist in four weeks and so far, it's all pros!! I have an iPhone and the music streaming is so much better I left my air Pods at home when I went to the gym today. Don't get me wrong, the sound quality doesn't match my air Pods, it's just given me an option, if I'm willing to sacrifice a little of the bass. One thing I noticed right away is that I no longer hear the rustling-sound when putting on my glasses or brush my hand across my hearing aids: it's barely even noticeable. My only complaint, with all MFI hearing aids, is that they still aren't compatible with my Apple Watch. When will Apple fix this?!

@jenniferdowney6578 Місяць тому

Hello Dr Cliff, love your vids, really helpful. I had the Reals for two weeks, got on great but then the wires made above my ears very sore. So my lovely audiologist suggested I try the INtent. I'm changing back to the Reals. With the Reals, when I talked to my sister on the phone, I could hear the clock on the wall ticking. It sounded over there on the wall, not like my previous aids which made everything just loud, so I heard sounds in the distance. ( I have mod/several high tone loss, struggled with othe Aids for15 years). But while I was talking my BRAIN put the ticking sound in the background and I didn't hear it anymore. After finishing the conversation , the ticking sound came back. I haven't had that happen for years and it was really exciting. The intents,however, put the ticking in the background for you. I think this means that my brain does not start relearning to do that sort of thing. Intent sound very natural but for me, poor clarity, and felt no excitement. just, yes natural sound but all a bit flat . Shape is not as good with glasses but wires are much better, shame they don't do them for the Reals. You are so right about how important the audiologist is and I am so fortunate that mine is so kind and conscientious. I realise it's horses for courses but the Intents are not for me. Just hope the INtent doesn't end up being the only option in the future. BTW, brilliant review of Intents ( even though I don't like them! Thank you.

@rachelbringewatt9840 2 місяці тому

Glad to hear the Android LE Audio Bluetooth works better with the Intent aids than previous versions!! So glad they are set up for Auracast as well!!

@albertjagt5713 Місяць тому

Thank you for another great video! But one thing that I'm wondering about and you never mention is for us musicians. I am a part-time organist at a church and I'm concerned about all the new technology with the new aids that I do not want the aids to change their volume levels. I do want to play and hear the quietest moments as well as the loud 'full organ' moments without the aids fooling me as to how loud or soft it really is. I am aware of my limitations and I do physically do the motions as I think it is doing even though I can't 'truly' hear correctly. The response I get tells me I'm doing OK! Thanks again guys!

@jessicahartman8418 2 місяці тому

I currently have the signia insio charge and go, I have sensineural hearing loss. I love these bc of the dual processor. Dual processor is amazing, huge difference than previous hearing aids from signia i whave used. My speech became much clearer and I can hear much further. Are these oticons better than the insio? I will be shopping for a new pair in about 16 months. The rechargable last about 3 years and i got the insio in 2022.

Dr. Cliff, I have watched multiples of your videos. I must say I’m a huge fan being someone who sat the hearing loss since 11 months old thanks to spinal meningitis finding a hearing care professional that is as knowledgeable and clear about what to expect can be very daunting so I wanted to say thank you in advance for all that you do, I was wondering if it’s not too much trouble if you could answer question. I use power because I seem to get more of all the sounds that I view with a custom fit. I have been told my entire life. The custom will work better for me, but have not Experienced that. My question specifically is if I’m using power domes, what would be the equivalent in custom molded.

Great videos! Thank you 😊 Do you like the Signia better than the Oticon? I have the Bicore Li for severe hearings loss, over the ear, rechargeable. First time I wear hearing aids. Big difference, I can hear now. The sound is not as awesome as my AirPods unfortunately 😢

@ljwismer6028 2 місяці тому

I was really excited to hear about these because I’m going to need new aids soon since mine are starting to have bad sound quality. Do you know if they will come out with a BTE version that has the same level of amplification? My ears are notorious for not keeping receivers in or does Oticon have the option for the power fold to be a full mold style? Previously when I had this style aid we had silicone molds made by another company to put the power receiver in. I know you said that these power receivers can’t be removed. These sound like they have every feature I wish my Xceeds had

@Mowikan Місяць тому

Great review. I love my more1’s but willing to trade them for these 3 reasons that are driving me nuts: 1 wind sound, 2 contact sounds of my hair, 3 sound drops with streaming. If my iphone 15 is in my pocket the stream drops sound bits. Ending up wearing my jabra t85 for podcast listening. Is this one better?

Thanks for the review. It couldn’t be any better timing as I am looking for an upgrade from my Phonak P70. I did try the More 3 years ago and they were really bad, the DNN wasn’t up to the hype. I am willing to give AI a second chance. But also considering the Lumity L90 to stay within Phonak ecosystem. And yes, blutooth is always a mess. Phonak is one of the best in that area though. And I don’t care much about sound/music quality, so long as it’s acceptable

Hi, thank you, this was really helpful. I am interested in improving my ability to hear bird songs, many in the 6,000 to 10,000 hertz range are harder to hear for me. Would this be your recommendation for a hearing aid for bird songs?

@ritabond2984 24 дні тому

So it sounds like they finally solved the connectivity issue. Yay!!! They are definitely chunky. Dr. Cliff your ears are definitelty sticking out when you put these on. They are starting to make some eye glass frames with really narrow earpieces however, so that may be the answer. Thanks for the review.

Asking for memory trait in the retention filament, might go further than just saying stiffer. so you can shape it, and it remembers it, until you grab the base of the filament where it connects to the hearing aid to apply enough leverage, to over come its springiness?

Thanks for the your review of the Intent. I had a question about Android connectivity, however. I have a Pixel 7, phone which supposedly supports Bluetooth LE, but the Oticon website shows that the Pixel 7 streams and does calls using the "Connect Clip." Your review doesn't mention the Clip, so I'm wondering if it's really required or not? Is it?

I have a question, for Dr. Cliff but also any Oticon intent user. I m wearing those hearing aid for a couple of weeks now and I face weird noises from time to time, like if they were bugging. It looks like it goes on and off very quickly or something, and making little noises a bit like interferences. I don't know where it comes from and how to fix it, neither do my audiologist. I get the same issue with Oticon real a few monts ago, but not in that amount, with another audiologist. And I didn't take them because he also couldn't figure out what it was... I don't get it, it's frustrating. Any ideas ?

@elchef86 Місяць тому

@sfrink1425 2 місяці тому

It should be noted that the 60, 85, 100, and 105 receivers is not about how much amplification they provide, but how much of a hearing loss they can handle. A 60dB receiver doesn't give 60dB of gain, but fits hearing loss thresholds of up to 60dB on the audiogram, so is oriented towards mild to moderate losses. I find their labeling is misleading for this reason, as no receiver has more than 86dB of amplification (which just so happens to be the Oticon XCeed Ultra-Power BTE), and can fit hearing losses up to 120dBHL.

@Deliriation 2 місяці тому

Ugh, why go to one button!? That's a step back in innovation.... I was programming aids where the right up/down button was for volume, and left up/down button was for program change. Removed the confusion of long/short presses..... Dang.

I have a question for Dr. Cliff and any Oticon intent user. I'm wearing those since a couple of weeks now, and from time to time it looks like the hearing aids are bugging. They make some strange noises like interferences or like if they went on and off very quickly and repeatedly for a couple of seconds, and my audiologist doen't know where it comes from and can't fix it. I have the impression it happens when there are multiple sources of sounds and it looks like the hearing aids are overwhelmed and don't know where to focus.... i had the same issue, but it a midler way, with Oticon REAL a couple of months ago, with another audiologist. I didn't take them, cause I thought it was really annoying to have thoses bugs. Both of the audiologist I went to, have good reviews in the ciity I live... Anyone facing the same thing ?

The intent has both different hardware and software. Unlike the more recent/previous models, the intent uses the Sirius chipset.

@rodabernethy7277 Місяць тому

I just bought new Oticons Intents and having a major problem when listening to acoustic musical instruments like guitar, mandolin, violin, etc. The Intents create a high frequency oscillation with a slight phasing that is truly annoying. I'm a performing folk guitarist and I was hoping to wear these HAs while performing but that's not possible, the oscillation is too distracting for me. I also hear this oscillation and latency on high end sounds like warning signals and tones from my car, household appliances and/or anything else that emits high tones. My Oticons were calibrated by one of the best pro audiologists in the area but I still have this problem and staring to feel pretty hopeless and disappointed. Do you have any experience with this problem and have any recommendations?

@patricknance3585 26 днів тому

@rodabernethy7277 I have a similar problem with Oticon More 1s. Very annoying when you want the clean acoustic sound. Changing to custom earmolds has helped, but I can still detect the phasing and bloom/reverb like distortions. Piano, guitar, and especially harmonica (!) all have issues. An audio engineer told me it may be related to the degree of compression and the attack/release settings.

I'm struggling with the intent because wider than the Real.

It's a quandary as one wants the best. Struggled for years with mediocre hearing aids but now have a brilliant audiologist. It just isn't as straightforward as I thought. Hearing loss sticks, frankly, there's no way round it.😮

By the way, I do not believe the VA provides the Best Practices that Dr Cliff mentions.

I am using Oticon hearing aids , I am going to consider the new Intent. Don’t like the price. Seems way out of line with other comparable hearing aids. Plus only 45 day trial period. Jabra gives 6 months and price is far less.

My $20 true wireless ear buds come with a case that has an internal battery. And these do not? Why? Because it costs too much?

@santoeladiofamilianova2498 2 місяці тому

A penas los lanzaron hace menos de un mes. Pronto ese cargador con batería integrada estará disponible.

Doesn't sound like a revolutionary upgrade to my more 1s. Still can't start/stop Musicstreams on the HA itself, the App still sucks(it got even worse, compared to the old one) and those 2dB increased SNR sounds like I wouldn't even recognise it. Meh.

High frequency is a female voice,right?

@DrCliffAuD Місяць тому

Females are primarily High Frequency because they produce less Low Frequency compared to males.

it is oustanding how a itcon will not think of a stronger filament. it just show that they make hearing aids but no clue about patient wearing them

I don't recommend using rechargeables. I had one and to be honest it's not worth it. The battery only lasts a few hours.

Don't be too down, not everone prefers the Intent.

@digitraxanr Місяць тому

Oticon is wise. Most of the Audiologists I have met can not be trusted doing anything more than selling their hearing aids. Dealing with smart receiver cables or changing rechargable batteries is way beyond their skill level.

Are you still shilling for Lenire?

@petemulhearn7787 Місяць тому

This guy is obviously 1. not deaf and 2. getting paid/sponsored by the supplier. That makes anything he says about these devices suspect. Its not a UKposts channel, its an advertisement!

@konracciesla Місяць тому

it has a charger, you have to load scrap every day, don't buy it
