I have had the Oticon More 2 hearing aids fo a little over 2 years. I have had both at full capability for maybe 2 weeks in all that time. The noise reduction is insignificant. A foggy day will shut down the left one for water intrusion. If it gets actually wet I have to keep in a bag filled with desiccant cartridges for at least a day before it will take a charge. After getting wet it will never have more than 10 hours without dying. The company WILL NOT replace or repair. Oticon was a horrible decision on my part.
I have a pair of the Ocion More 3 and can't use them because I need molded ear pieces . I ended up getting a pair of a Widex brand.I have tried to find out if Ocion makes a molded ear piece but I can't find anything.
These are the worst hearing aids I've owned.
The blutooth is useless to the point I cannot take cell phone calls.
I've had hearing aids less than half the $6k I paid for rhese that were more reliable and their service and support is non-existent.
I have had my hearing aids for about one year. I have worn hearing aids for over 40 years these are by far THE WORST I have ever owned they have been in for repair several time replaced one and the cost of $5300.00 does not justify the issues with them. I have a 7 year old pair I use for backup and work very well
I have worn Hearing Aides for 30 plus years. I’m currently wearing Oticon 1 itc hearing sides. From almost day one jthrse hearing aides have had issues requiring them to to be sent in for repair. I believe 4 times in about 6 months. When I have to change batteries, they frequently won’t power up for anywhere from 15 minutes to several hours. The problem never gets resolved.
My Smart Charger for the oticon Mini-Rite R quit working within the first 45 days of use. I looked on Amazon and other places for a replacement and the minimum cost was over $200. I am a Navy Veteran and asked for a replacement charger through the VA but as the saying goes the check is in the mail. Still no replacement. Is their a German company that can offer a generic replacement so i don't have to worry about reliability. I have been over a month now without my hearing aids an absolutely can not afford the money they want for a replacement especially if it will only last a couple of months. Thank You
I have worn 'antique' Phonak aids for years but could never wear them outside due to the wind and handling noises. The Oticon Real aids that I am test driving are amazing in this aspect. I have been in 20+ mph sustained winds with gusting and with hair touching the aids, but no wind noise whatsoever! Truly amazing. I wore them to a play practice for a granddaughter. It was in an old theater with poor acoustics. I was able to enable the speech enhancement and could hear the director's instructions much better. Using the aids to talk on the phone is another issue. The volume is too low and seems to be only adjustable on your phone volume. While talking on the phone or streaming... Read More
Summary: My provider could not activate all the features, or improve the fidelity, of the Oticon Real One aids, which I bought, until after the 30-day trial window.
I bought Oticon Real One aids, but they sounded horrible. Here's what they sounded like: Take the equalizer on your stereo tuner and turn all the base sliders down. Take the rest of the sliders (treble) and move them halfway to the maximum. I went back to the audiologist and they made adjustments. However, there was no improvement. They told me it would take some time for me to adjust to the aids. This product was completely unacceptable and I was near the 30-day return window. I got my money back.
I have worn Oticon HA's forever and they always sounded better than Phonak and others. My Last set was Oticon Opn1's and they were great, but feedback was always a problem. I recently replaced the Opn1's because the feedback problem and they were pretty old, so I got the Oticon More1R units. Unfortunately, the More1 units constantly distort when a new sound is introduced to the environment, I am in. The distortion is most noticeable in the speech frequencies, which is very annoying but also happens in every other frequency. The distortion is truly unnerving. I would characterize the distortion as, if a person was close to a large operating fan, then speaking thru it making... Read More
I have been wearing the Oticon More 1 for over 2 years . The only issue I have is the cost of the wax stops for the mold. I get mine from the VA but have bought extra. They only last a week. I enjoy the streaming to my TV for that I say 3 1/2 stars.
They are a great company . Never had any problems. Great service and great pricing
They need to have a site where they show lost or stolen hearing aids
Paid a large sum of money for the Oticon More 3. Now 1.5 years into usage, the rechargeable batteries last less than 3 hours. Oticon says contact the audiologist, and audiologist says contact Oticon. So in essence they are a very expensive waste of money.
Not my first pair of hearing aids, this pair is awful. Whistles all the time, had the molds remade and they still don't fit well. Battery life is maybe 2 days. Now the left aid is going off and on off and on. I depend on my aids to work daily. I am a poster child for wearing them. I have had to go back to my old pair as a back up and I don't hear as well out of them. Sad to pay for something that I feel is junk. Even my family says that I have had nothing but trouble out of them.
After 9 days my Oticon mid level hearing aids stopped charging completely. The left was at 85% and the right was at 56%. I saw my audiologist and she gave me a new charger. The hearing aids charged for 2 days and then stopped charging again. After a week later of not charging and finally getting my followup appointment. She showed me how to remove the wax cores and replace the domes. The hearing aids worked for 2 days then stopped charging. My audiologist has been out for a week and my hearing aids have yet to get to a full charge after multiple 12 hour charging sessions, resets, making sure the light was on showing charge. For $4,000 hearing aids they have yet to work or charge... Read More
Have had 2 issues where they have been sent back to manufacture for repairs. The first one within a few months of having them. 2 less than a year. Instead of replacing them because obviously they are defective they did a repair that will probably hold long enough until the warranty runs out. I’ll not be buying Oticon products in the future. Unsatisfactory customer service.
i purchased more2 in February 2022 and are very disappointed; they will not work on my new samsung S22 and the tv box i purchased works sometime...most time i says on ear or the other is disconnected. my older mini-rites worked with my phone and the tv box. wish i would have looked at other aids
I have taken these hearings aids back many times and they still are not right. Right one has virtually no sound unless you hold the wire and they are so tinty. I am taking them back again. I was told they were replaced but seems funny this so called new pair has the exact same problem!!
I bought my Oticon hearing aids less than a year ago. I have had problems with the hearing aids disconnecting while wearing them, and them restarting shortly after. The dealer sent them in and they gave me a new pair. Supposedly. After less than a month they started having the same problem. Today, after the startup chime, the right hearing aid stopped working. I’m totally disgusted with this brand and would not recommend them.
The Oticon 1 Minirite rechargeable hearing aids perform very well and the phone connectivity and mobile application are great features. This rating is low, however, because the Oticon no longer supports the use of the original ZPower rechargeable battery nor does the company recommend any other brands of rechargeable batteries. Their recommendation is to use the standard non-rechargeable hearing aid batteries for the continued life of the hearing aids. After 3 years, my hearing aids are no longer rechargeable per the manufacturer.
Model = More 3 miniRight R
They are not compatible with the Google Pixel 6 which was released in October 19th 2021. What was I meant to do - buy an obsolete model just so its compatible with my hearing aids. Or keep using my broken pixe3.
Unfair to customers. Who could tell at the time of sale that Oticon are super slow at keeping up with the times. This problem has made my daily life much harder.
Hearing aids never worked from day one, battery life was terrible, going through on average 1 battery every day, had disconnect issues with pairing clip... The memory suddenly wiped itself, so it refused to even do anything. Then out of the blue four years after purchasing it, the hearing aid died.
My More 2 aids are total crap. Children’s voices are shrill and piercing, only 20% understandable. The rest is gibberish. Dialogue in videos is almost complete gibberish, even worse than children’s voices. Soft spoken male voices are about 50% understandable. Some women’s voices are shrill and piercing. About the only time the aids work well is in a small group of women in a quiet setting. But I don’t need hearing aids in such a setting. Hearing aid technology needs to improve considerably to get up to mediocrity.
I have had my oticon opn minirites for 4 years and they have worked quite well. However, almost every time they put out a new version of the app OTICON ON, I have problems for 2 to 3 weeks connecting my hearing aids. They connect and drop off - repeatedly with absolutely no reason. I have contacted support and they told me the same thing that my hearing specialist said, upgrade the ios on the iphone, delete the app, turn off the phone, reinstall the app repair - I have done this over 20 times in the past week with absolutely no success. The last thing they told me to do is to disconnect all my network connections - since the hearing aids use bluetooth not network I am not sure what... Read More
I am very disappointed in the hearing aids. I had others and they were fairly good. Paid 6500 for the new ones. But the Oticon app sucks! I can'thear well with movies or music on my phone nor my ipad. Half the time, they don't pair. Actually went and bought airpods for my devices. Wow, such wonderful sound difference! What a shame!
My first pair lasted 7 years (Excellent). The second pair kept eating batteries. They were replaced 2xs without success, each time a trip to the office to drop them off, wait a week and go back again to pick up. I hated throwing $4K down the drain as they are useless. I refused to keep going back to the overpaid audiologist's office, wait 2 weeks for a new pair, and repeat that trip several times.
Bought a pair on Amazon for 1/8 the price. No issues at all.
