Oticon More - has it lived up to expectations?

- In this video, Emma provides an update on her experiences fitting Oticon More and whether it has lived up to the marketing promises from Oticon.
The verdict - so far, so good. However, she does highlight that hearing is subjective, so while many of her clients have reported significant benefit with More, some haven't noticed any difference between More and other manufacturers' devices, and others have preferred other devices over More. This shows the importance of trial periods with hearing aids which allow the end user to determine whether the hearing aid is the most suitable for them or not.

Had an Otican More fitted a month ago, although they were not cheap, my hearing has improved from what was poor hearing, especially my right ear due to natural aging and a hereditary disposition to one where I can hear and follow conversations from even the most softly spoken individuals. I can hear loud and clear bird songs for the first time in many years, and my car has a glass roof, and I heard raindrops for the first time. It has been a truly wonderful investment.
The honesty/accuracy/openness of the video is astounding!! I have 6 year old Rrsoind Linx2, and am about to replace them. This objective information is SO helpful. Thank you!!!
Thank you very much Keith. I am pleased you found the information helpful. I wish you all the best with your search for new hearing aids.
These are the worst hearing aidd I have ever tried. I am returning them. The $50 amplifiers I bought at Walmart di a better job than these.
Awesome video!!! I'm getting my Oticon More 1 hearing aids in two weeks. My first time wearing hearing aids. Thanks for the reassurance that this is the right step.
I have just bought a pair of Oticon More and am very satisfied. On a separate note, I am going to forward this video to my granddaughter who is currently looking around for career types.🤗
Being an Opn S user I am keenly interested in the More. This update is very helpful in deciding how fast to proceed, not a question of if but when. I am an enormous fan of Oticon with the superb results I experience with Opn S. This company knows what they are doing and are providing great HA products.
I’ve had my Oticon More 1 hearing aids for a month and really like them. This is my second pair of hearing aids, so it wasn’t the adjustment I first experienced in 2014 with my first pair. These sounded really natural from the start. Like jumping back into my ears from 40 years ago! The thing that stood out the most is that I can hear myself whisper softly, something I couldn’t do with my old pair. During the thanksgiving holiday I didn’t think about my hearing, which is unusual because before, complex hearing situations made me struggle, and noisy rooms made me tired. I feel like my brain doesn’t have to work as hard because the hearing aids are doing that for me. Highly recommend.
thank you so much for providing the feedback. I've spent a couple of recent days googling and browsing reviews and opinions about oticon 1 (since it's going to be my first pair of hearing aids and I still dont fully know what to expect and how to compare). How do you like them by now? It's been almost half a year for you. Did you take the charging ones or with a battery? Thank you so much
I LOVE my More minibte R!! Effortless clarity and NO FEEDBACK!! Battery lasts all day even with the high power use my severe hearing loss needs! I have never heard this well in the last 30 years of my hearing loss. Highly recommended.
Thanks for the update Emma.
USVA issues to me the Odicon More hearing aids. Immediately, benefited from them. I'm almost 80. Love the things. Thanks Odicon and VA.
Emma - thanks for the update - My OM 1's are due this week (my first pair of hearing aids), and I'm excited to see what improvement they offer.
Your videos are informative and really calming also :)
I'm thrilled you are enjoying the videos! I hope you really enjoy your new hearing aids.
Thanks for the balanced look at Oticon. The veteran's administration audiologist has set me up with Oticon this coming January. I'm looking forward to experiencing their model as opposed to Phonak.
Mark my situation exactly too but in June
They are great albeit expensive
OPN MORE compared to OPN S1 Streaming is much better.
Soundstage is very big, depth is very good.
The high is airy and silky not fatiguing, very lively doesn’t feel like you are listening to earphones or hearing aids very natural.
Very Detailed, Sweet, but also dynamic. Very happy upgrade to OPN MORE.
Thank you Mr. Shou Farn from Value Hearing for the fitting.😁
Your reviews and updates on Oticon OPN More were helpful. I have moderate to severe hearing loss. I had Oticon OPN for 3 years and tried the Oticon OPN More. While not a "night and day" difference, I definitely like the improved sound distinction for speech, definitely hear more of my surroundings (like the radio, music lyrics), and streaming is significantly improved. I still have some adjustments with acoustics in different environments. I felt the OPN More were worth the investment.
Do you have suggestions for terminology or descriptions when discussing adjustments to the program with my hearing aid specialist? Ways to improve listening and help train my brain to listen and process speech?
Thank you Mary.
The Oticon More builds on the Oticon OPN S, so the sound will be very familiar with those improvements you noticed being brought on by the onboard AI. The idea of creating a glossary of terms to help you better inform you clinician is a good one. We'll add it to our list of videos/blogs. Most experienced clinicians should be very capable of interpreting your own language though and should also seek clarification through asking specific questions if unsure.
@@ValueHearing what about this negative rubbish tinnitus thay want to fix this with oto-313 in clinical trials in us because treatment devices is olny hope as it is now as my hearing is in the normal range but slit dip the computer at tinnitus clinic you don't want this crap not good for the overall mental health a bace line would be liveable
I had the Oticon back in 2019 for 1 ear only but had to go back 14 months later for ringing in that ear and the doctor recommended I have another hearing test done which was set up 3 weeks later and was told I needed another one for the other ear and was upgraded from Oticon for the right ear to Phonak for both ears. both devices are great and so was this video you made thanks
As a tinnitus sufferer I wish Oticon could offer more sound relief options and greater charging capacity.
Hi, thank you for the informative video.
Your quick thoughts on the Oticon More 2&3 and Zircon Please?
My audiologist only yesterday recommended the Oticon More but said I couldn't go wrong with the Phonak Paradise, either. The More does sound exciting. My trial may be only days away. Can't wait!
Good luck with your trial, Bono!
There is a problem w the Phonak that my technician was not aware of. I had Phonak Audeo P70s in my left ear and Phonak CROS P in my right ear. When I tried to use the Phonak phone ap with the hearing aids, the ap did not work. The Phonak ap does not support CROS hearing aids.
I’m a professional violinist and I’m getting ready to try oticon this week. This will be my third brand to try in the last 6 months. I’m very hopeful.
I hope it works well for you. Music and hearing aids has been a tricky combination in the past and it very much depends on the skill of the clinician as well. You might find this article of some interest: www.valuehearing.com.au/news/hearing-aids-and-music
It was written by one of our audiologists, who also happens to be an accomplished musician.
How did you like it, Cynthia?
Unfortunately, it was awful. Playing my violin alone caused all sorts of confusing extra pitches during high notes and following after stopping on high notes. There was a great deal of eccentric wobbling of lower tones and sometimes buzzing. Being in the orchestra made me want to cry. I kept getting adjustments but they couldn’t work.
@@cynthiagabriel5737 We are so sorry to hear this. Was it the newly update 'my music' program that you tried with Oticon? Was Widex one of your trials? Also, where are you based? We have a music specialist on our team.
@@cynthiagabriel5737 any updates?
Is there a difference between the More and Play Px other than the Play Px being marketed towards children? I'm trialing the More right now but I would really like bright colours 😁
i just had more 2 fitted in Halifax Canada i love them
Hello Emma
Thank you for your very informative & helpful videos.
Resound One, released last September, came out with some very promising features, particularly in regards wind noise.
Do you have any comments on this model since its release?
Thanks in advance.
Steve Adams
The Resound One's wind noise benefit comes from it's M&RIE speakers. This is only available for milder loss, so does not apply to everyone. We haven't fitted too many to be honest, but the responses from those we had were mixed, with some loving them and others not so much. It is a great brand however and worthwhile trying for yourself.
does the Oticon More support bicros for those of us with single sided deafness? thanks!
Do you know when the UP version of the More will be coming out?
Unfortunately, no idea when this might be released. The current UP option from Oticon is XCeed and it uses the same technology as Opn S, so still an excellent hearing aid!
Thanks for the video. The More was recommended to my 91-year-old Mom. The audiologist did not cover what level 1-2-3 would be best for her - but simply showed her the price difference. While she has an active lifestyle for 91 it is what I would call a quiet one. For her, would there be a real difference in her hearing experience between the different levels.? Or best to save some money and just buy the basic level? Thanks!
Hi Emma, your videos are excellent & very informative & I was interested to have your opinion on OTICON GENIE 2 . compared to the OPN MORE series. Many thanks for the reply to my last comment. I hope to visit your clinic in Brisbane soon. Take Care & Stay Safe Regards, Stan Bain Brisbane.
Good morning Emma. The Oticon More 2 miniRITE R have been recommended to me for purchase. I have no idea what I'm getting into. Any comments, questions or concerns would be really appreciated :-) Thank you so much.
Hi Don, the Oticon More hearing aids are great devices, in general. They offer a very natural sound quality. We've had great fedbacks from our own clients on this. It also has one of the best sounding music programs currently available. The higher up you get in technology, the most support the hearing aids can give you in noise. More 1 offers the most programming adjustability to support you in noise, and More 3 offers the least. More 2 is in the middle. So the best level of technology for you would be one that supports your hearing goals and ability to hear in noise - has your clinician performed a speech in noise test with you? Make sure you know what your trial period is with the devices - if it doesn't suit, what are your options to exchange for something else, or return the devices?
@@ValueHearing Hi Emma :-) Full return after 2 weeks if not satisfied. I may try the 1 if the 2 doesn't do what I need. The 1 is getting pretty pricy. I'm kind of excited to try them out. I really hope they can help with my tinnitus. Thank you for your reply ... I really do appreciate it 🙂
I want to thank you for doing the reviews. You're a good person for helping out. It's very hard to get good advice ... sometimes people are shy are embarrassed to reach out.
I purchased the Oticon more 1 a few months back and have had 3 or 4 shut downs. I thought that it was moisture but now I hear that the battery provider (Z-Power) has gone bankrupt for reasons i am not aware of. Now I am not so sure that moisture is the reason for the shut downs. Wondering if any of your clients have had this issue?
Hi Bruce, The Oticon More does not use the Z-Power battery at all (which was also user removable). The More uses a Lithium Ion cell, which does not have the issues seen with Z-Power. Does your hearing aids have the latest version of the firmware installed. If unsure, your hearing care specialist can check and update them for you. If the problem persists, you'd definitely want them sent to Oticon to be checked as it is unusual.
My Oticon More1 hearing aids don't play well with my new iPhone 13 Pro.
I have Oticon More and from my experience they are the best on the market.
Hey Emma, Thank you for your informative videos. I am hoping that , with an iPhone, you can not only listen but can TALK through the Oticon More. Can you share your knowledge on chatting through the Mores or do have to talk through the iPhone mike? I am not interested in a connecting clip. Thank you.
Apple's latest IOS 14.6 update allows hearing aid manufacturers to now use the hearing aid mics to pick up your voice. I am confident we'll see a firmware update to most brands soon allowing full hands free communication.
@@ValueHearing Thank you so much, Emma. You are the best!
Thank you for an excellent presentation. My audiologist at the university quoted me $5,500 for a tier one More. About the same as my older Oticons’. Curious as to what others have paid.
OTICON model, model: OPN53 BRF PP ,I purchased on 01/08/2020.
Serial no: 61546311. Bought it from VISION CARE,Colombo,Sri Lanka.
Now after using for two years , it does not function properly.lot of noise and intermittent high peaks. I have got done scheduled services from the supplier. I am using it for right ear. Can you pl advise me what should I do to get the unit functions to my satisfaction.
I hope a kind reply from you this complaint.
Thank you and Good day to you.
@@sirinivasabartholomeuz1681 you need an audiologist who deals with Octicon to make the adjustments as well as give you a thorough audiology hearing exam.
I have oticon more for one month and still find news on the TV very distorted
Clare
I’ve been forced into purchasing new hearing aids ( not oticon ). Because of shut down of app. No help was given to resolve this. After sales appalling
My Oticon more 1 hearing aids constantly break down and are in transit to and from Oticon constantly.
I found the Oticon More was too loud for me, and I grew significantly more tired after wearing them for extended periods compared to other brands I tried. Wind noise is also currently an issue with the Oticon More.
Thank you for your comment Denis. A hearing aid is only as good as the adjustments made to it by the hearing care professional. A great professional using best practices can make a terrible hearing aid sound good. A provider not using best practices like REM and actually listening to client complains, can make a great hearing aid sound terrible. If first fit was all that was used, then some brands do better with that than others.
I'm surprised at the report. We had some seriously windy days recently (MId-Atlantic coast, US). Even in winds gusting well past 25 mph (40 KmH), I was surprised at how little "wind roar" I heard. "Too loud" is also puzzling. I typically use the "no gain, no loss" or middle setting (where a "beep" becomes "beepbeepbeep")... works for me. One of my gripes about the More is the "no more gain available" or "loud as it gets" tone is also "beepbeepbeep". Accidentally cranked up all the gain, heard the tone, and thought I was back to the normal mid-range setting. (In my defense, I've been changing domes, trying to find the best domes for simply streaming music [power tips, well sealed, and the "music" program]. How the rest of the world sounded has varied with each dome I tried.) I'd tweaked the volume up and got to full gain. Sounded like Superman's "super-hearing" - yikes! Anyway, if setting your volume to the middle setting and still finding it too loud happens, I'd ask for a better adjustment of the HA's. Hmmm... I'll bet the wind noise problem is also due to a poor device setup.
I've noticed that, too. I'm trialling the More 1 which my audiologist is selling for $8800 a pair. At that price, I wanna give them a good chance to impress me.
Thanks for your tips. I actually just uploaded (my first ever) RUclips review of a couple of hearing aids I tried: ruclips.net/video/SUeJlXAahnA/видео.html
I've recently trialled the More 1 for two weeks and felt the same way. It's a big, overpowering sound that isn't unpleasant, just overwhelming. I also found it hard to understand people in noisy situations even though they may be standing only a few feet away.
Which oticon model best for tinnitus and severe loss..??
Hi Vinay, depending on your hearing loss, the mRITE styles can suit more severe losses; however, if you're after a super power aid, you may find you get more from the Oticon XCeed. It's not on the same platform as More though (equivalent to Opn S).
I had the Phonak Audeo 90L and hated them, The sound is terrible, even after 3 adjustments by my Audiologist. Then She fitted me for a trial of the Oticon More 1's and i love them. So much clearer sound and i can understand speech much better even at my loud and extremely busy environment at work. The app just works even though it does not have the most options, still works great. The Phonak App is terrible and has connection issues even with 3 different top tier phones. Also, The oticon app works perfect on Android phones, so don't be worried about not having Apple phones. Also, Oticon just released their "Smart Charger" That lets you charge on the go with a built in battery that will re-charge your hearing aids several time on one charge.
Hi Emma is More available in their CROS or BICROS HAs?
Hi, Yes, you can get a CROS device that is compatible with all More mRITE-R and mRITE-T hearing aids.
Are this Alexa compatible?
Do you think Oticon will be releasing a new technology in 2023 being that the Own is now 3 years old?
Мне 25 и к сожалению у меня тугоухость. Когда я узнала слёзы были рекой, ведь вся жизнь впереди, а как же коммуницировать с людьми? Работа? Друзья? Я их плохо слышу и переспрашивать очень неловко
Мне поставили Oticon More 1 mini
Теперь я могу коммуницировать полноценно с людьми, пропала невнимательность и самое главное проблем с нейронной сетью нет. ( я могу не правильно написать - я не врач)
Но это спасение !!!!

More vs phonak life in a nutshell?
Phonak = blocks noise and can use as a headset with any laptop or mobile phone that has bluetooth, Oticon = lets noise in but still makes speech clear, can only connect to newer mobile phones
If you have not worn hearing aids due to hearing loss, you do not have any business posting videos about them. Oticon More hearing aids suck. I am returning mine tomorrow, and will be thrilled when I do! The charger is large, and the charge itself does not last. This is without streaming. I cannot imagine how short the charge would be were a person to stream through these. The receivers and caps are enormous, and hurt my ears. I thought I had an ear infection because of the pain I experience when wearing these. The hearing quality is low. I experienced only a slight difference when wearing this overpriced garbage than when I did not. Please save yourself time and money, and purchase a reputable set of hearing aids. These are awful. I want to go back to Starkey.
Thank you for the comment, Leigh. I am sorry that your experience was obviously less than an optimal one. From your comment, it appears that the fitting process might have been less than optimal, with them hurting your ears and not making much of a difference. Did the clinician perform real ear measures on these? ruclips.net/video/kdtUyYAltoM/видео.html .
I am interested to understand the severity of your hearing loss, as Oticon More's last all day with streaming for all but the most severe hearing loss. Oticon More is not ideal for the severest of hearing loss. With more severe hearing loss a moulded ear coupling would provide significantly improved comfort and sound quality (if leakage or under amplification was part of the issue). Saying that people's preferences do differ, so having a money-back option is great.
I certainly hope you find a solution that works for you as well as a clinician that gives you the attention you deserve.
i love my aids they sound great,but the companion app sucks almost never works the old app was better and it was also crap,,,so dont buy these aids thinking the bluetooth is going to be great
