I’ve just dug up to find if I can figure out how it switches. Not sure still.
But found this:

Specifically
https://pro.resound.com/en-us/research/features-explained/controlling-directional-sound-processing
For choice of mics, I see this:
Ones:
Omni
soft switching
all access directionality
M&RIE
Quattros;
Omni
Soft switching
Natural directionality II focus ear
Natural directionality II monitor ear
Spatial Sense
Binaural Directionality III with spatial sense
And you can choose only one.
I don’t know if for Ones under soft switching they now put that ‘when to turn on ITE and when RIC mics’, since that link above looks like it’s for quattros.
I think many of us hoped for 3 mics that will work together for difficult situations eg background noise and speech babble.
Definitely agree!
I’m not sure how it exactly works, since sw doesn’t explain everything it does and how.
But it could be beneficial to some people, I’m sure.
I don’t need help in quiet for spatial awareness, my phonak RICs do the job great, also wind and whatnot.
So only thing that interest me would be more mics that work together for speech babble noise situations and similar very difficult environment. So for my case, 1 mic + pinna doesn’t look like an improvement for such environments, which you also implied, and 2 RIC mics are what I already have
I’d like to see phonak come up with the third mic, since I definitely like target sw more and it’s tweaking possibilities And then all of that in their autosense, oh boy, that’d be awesome
