Great video, very well done! I have a mild to moderate loss, I've tried Signia iic rechargeable, Oticon iic and Rexton iic. Wanted to be discreet but realize that in noisy environments they don't work at all. Two friends who have behind the ear products have told me that they don't work well in noisy environments either. I'm looking for a behind the ear model that might work the best in bars etc, would you say this would be the best one for that? Thanks
You didn't say how the Intent sounds with music. I recently tried the Oticon Real, and liked how it performed with speech, however it was unacceptably awful with music. I am a musician and audiophile, so I exchanged the Oticon Real for Widex Moment. The Widex are great with music, especially using the PureSound program. My Widex are also good with speech, and more natural-sounding than the Oticon Real that I tried.
That's because hearing aids in general weren't made for listening to music sure some of them provide good streaming quality but hearing aids were mainly made for speech not music
@@meric12131415 In that case ,it is time some hearing aids were made specifically for music. There are millions of music lovers out there .Come on manufacturers get your act together! There is a large market untapped .
I am having issue with the comfort of my new Oticon aids, my second pair. Can you educate me on mold making? My Audiologist is highly qualified but doesn't seem to want to make new molds. I'm getting feedback which I haven't ever had, and my ears want to scream with discomfort!
I Love Oticon’s products, but I wish they could provide the disable battery option because I don’t have time to wait for the charging, not even 30 minutes :-(
I have Oticon Intent with a CROS the battery last all day while streaming 20 hours I had the issue your talking about with Phonak they was dead before I get home from work lol that’s why oticon wins for me could sit through my lunch streaming watching movies, listening to music and still be fine. Hopefully Phonak knew hearing aids that just came out. Have a good battery life. phonak infinio sphere see what they got
Now apparently the top of the line aids are no longer available through insurance. As if they weren't expensive enough in the first place. Other brands will probably do the same.
@@HearSoundly I really appreciate you getting back to me with that price. That's a lot of money for people right now in our present economy. I hesitate to spend that much money on myself at this stage of my life. Seeing as you've been so helpful already, I have a another question for you. I don't think anybody has ever asked this before on any channel. Say, I decided to invest in a pair of these hearing aids and I were to die in a couple of months (I have already had one stroke) could I leave these hearing aids to someone in my will? I am dead serious (pardon the pun). Could they be adjusted for one of my children?
2 minutes of telling us what you’re going to tell us. Classic influencer. Well done sir. Also, you repeat Oticon’s claims, but don’t independently test things. Classic influencer. Well done sir.
All you did was repeat the marketing talk that Oticon put out such as 4D, even using their videos. Did you actually try them? I’ve have the Oticon Intent 1 for just over a week and am not sure they are doing anything different in noisy environments. I really don’t feel that they are reducing background noise and enhancing the speech of the person in front of me or where I am looking. All this 4D stuff sounds great but is it actually doing anything?
Has the reviewer actually used them? If so, for how many hours? What I really need is detailed instructions in how to use the Oticon Intent 1 which has just recently been released. The Oticon videos were made by professionals who seem to be insensitive to the actual user and all of the things that the user needs to know to operate them. A video lasting minute or two or three just isn't very helpful. The short videos produced by Oticon are rushed and explain next to nothing. I've had my hearing aids 13 days now now and in spite of experimenting with the app and reading through the instruction manuals, I still have no control over the volume, either with the hearing aids themselves or the telephone app (I have an iPhone XR). The streaming volume is usually too low to hear well as well as being uneven. I consistently can't hear streaming from my phone with both ears at the same time. Today I couldn't understand anything from a podcast while on the train (light rail) with the ordinary noise of the train passing over the train tracks. The clip-on device seldom works although I have read and really tried to follow its instructions. And I paid $6400 for my hearing aids and accessories. I don't know whether these problems are persistent technical glitches or is there just a lack of available workable instructions to users or both. I hope to find out more when I see the audiologist again, but why is there no actually helpful information online? I've found a variety of lengthy reviews of the Oticon Intent, but none provide practical instructions on how to use them. Finally, the Intent 1 controls are complicated. You perform different operations by holding the same buttons different numbers of seconds. The varieties of colors that come on for the different operations are confusing. I suppose I sound stupid to folks who work with these every day, but I doubt that I am much less sophisticated than a good proportion of users.
Merci. C'est mon premier appareillage bilatéral. J'essaie depuis 2 jours Signia C&go IX . J'entends à nouveau des aigus (et parfois un peu trop) . Mais j'aimerais essayer par comparaison le son Intent d'Oticon pour me faire une idée. Un mois pour essayer c'est intéressant mais qu'il y ait au moins 2 modèles/marques différents . ) L'audioprothésiste m'a affirmé que Signia était le plus large dans la restitution des hautes fréquences, de type chants de petits oiseaux à chauve-souris. Qu'en pensez-vous ? Oticon ou Signia ?

Best explanation of 4D tech. Thanks!
Incredible science - thank you for the overview. Picking up 1's this month. Oticons have been amazing workhorses - my current are 6 years old.
Thanks. One of the few truly informative videos I've seen on this subject.
I’m planing to update to new hearing aids in November and these sound like exactly what I’m looking for. Thanks.
Glad to hear it! Let me know if you end up with any questions!

Yes some do on it you can ask him when you are there to see him
Nice comprehensive review
I have a severe to profound loss. Is this device appropriate for me?
How much are the hearing aids I need it for my hubby and me
how will the Philips Hearlink 9050's compare to the intent?
I would also like to know this??
They seem to be exactly the same -- just fitted for my new 9050's and they are wonderful.
I don't know on insurance I never try it I will have to give it a try
I don't know on that but you can ask them on it
Thank you!🙏🏽
I get my new Intent 1 in a few weeks So glad I get them for free
Is the Oticon Intent 1 the same as Costco's Philips HearLink 9050?
It should be, yes. There is very little on the record confirming this but based on what we know, this is the case.

It is not thehearing aid it is the dome you use.
Do the sensors adjust automatically or do you have to adjust it through he software?
Good question. They should adjust automatically as you move into different environments without any changes to your app
People have insurance that covers hearing aids? LOL These look fantastic and costly. Might save up for a pair.
Ask them on it they will tell you
I am having issue with the comfort of my new Oticon aids, my second pair. Can you educate me on mold making? My Audiologist is highly qualified but doesn't seem to want to make new molds. I'm getting feedback which I haven't ever had, and my ears want to scream with discomfort!
Here's a full piece our lead audiologist wrote on the topic. www.soundly.com/blog/hearing-aid-earmolds
Hopefully this helps but let us know if you have any specific questions! We can pass them on to our audiologist for a perspective.
I Love Oticon’s products, but I wish they could provide the disable battery option because I don’t have time to wait for the charging, not even 30 minutes :-(
🤣 that'd be like disabling your phones battery not exactly the greatest suggestion in the world
Turn it off when not needed.

Yeah it’s a concerning trend. One we will be watching for sure.
Yup I heard about that most insurances don't do premium much anymore it sucks sure but it's just something you'd have to get used to I suppose
Hi I am looking for ultra power hearing aids. The oticon intent have ultra power hearing aids
How does intent compare to the More line. I trialed the More 1’s. They just didn’t have enough noise suppression
Can you please tell me how much the intent model is in Canadian dollars? Just a rough estimate. Thanks.
I'm not sure what Canadian clinics would charge but if you convert U.S. prices to CA dollars is around 6,200 Canadian dollars for a pair.

That the connectivity issues have been improved is news enough by itself
What is the voltage of the rechargeable battery?

Bilateral ears because hearing aids can't hear
At least 2.5 minutes of drivel about what they're going to talk about. That was enough for me - I'm out.
