You betcha! I’m using the one-vent round domes. So far, I’m having a positive experience, especially in PureSound and Music modes.
I’ll be seeing my Kaiser audiologist this coming May 8; I can ask about her workflow in Compass GPS when configuring insertion gain vs. feedback.
TL;DR
I wouldn’t say it has 100% solved all of my minor speech comprehension issues; I had to ask someone to repeat something they said softly behind a 1/8" COVID-era acrylic barrier, and I sometimes strain a little bit to separate noise from speech while watching sporting events on TV, more so than I recall in my 30s.
It’s a marked improvement, though, and my wife is enjoying the lower resultant sound bar volume. My increased fidelity is making me think of an upgrade in that dept. I ditched my old Denon/KEF receiver-based HT audio system last year for a lowly VIZIO V21-H8 soundbar, due to diminishing returns with HL, and difficulty prioritizing speech. The actual upgrade was right under my nose.
As for the Music program - yes, it makes a big difference, though the RIC configuration has the minor issues I’ve highlighted in another thread comparing the Apple AirPods Pro 2 using audiogram accommodations: (AirPod Pro 2 as hearing device - #191 by mikehoopes)
Still, the Widex Moment 440 sRIC is a better option for listening to speakers, as it comes closer to prescription target. Soundstage: the Moment one-vent domes make a big difference. The APP2’s closed physical form factor adds some early reflections, so it’s perceptibly narrower, as if…you’re listening to in-ear monitors.
The APP2 Transparency mode offers better hearing protection, though, so if I’m at a loud (>95 dB) live music performance (was close-up at a rock performance last weekend at a local bar patio in Sunnyvale, where my son was playing bass), I think I’d opt for those instead. It did sound good to me, but I’m becoming more aware of my hearing as a sustainable resource. The Apple Watch is pretty convenient for getting a general measure of local SPL, and it displays A-weighted dB.
