Hello,
In the UK I can only order 9030’s In the Ear/Custom and I cannot really find any information about what these are the equivalent of in the Oticon world.
I have currently been trialling the Oticon Ones but now realise that the Philips equivalent is the 9040’s.
Can anyone advise what the 9030’s customs are the equivalent of? I am through research assuming they are the equivalent/similar to the Oticon Opn Customs.
Can anyone advise if these aid s still use DNN or whatever the terms is for this AI based architecture?
Considering how old these aids are I am concerned I will be taking massive drop in performance.
The trouble is that although I really like the Oticon Ones, Oticon would only install a standard receiver which are not really powerful enough as I am almost at the top of the range when first switching on.
I am also trialling the Jabra Enhance Pro 10’s, they are also Customs but with an ultra receiver and for an In the Ear device the bulk of the aid is external, but they do look like earbuds to be fair, I am thinking I may ask if I can go down a receiver size and to make them smaller, as near the top end the current ones give me a lot of feedback issues. The one thing I wish the Jabra had was a better automatic/all round program.
This has been a long and drawn out process for me having trialled most new aids on the market and I am worried I am making a big mistake trialling the 9030’s, I know I get the trial period but it just feels like I am taking a step backwards before I even start.
I know most people will advise for my hearing loss I should really be going with RIC’s but I have always worn ITC and am more comfortable without the whole over the ear part of the system even though I admit they are actually more invisible…
Any comments would really be appreciated.
