My experience with Oticon Xceed 2 demo

Hearing Aids
#43

Well then “the ears have it”. Of course we are all still in the dark regarding “why your ears” like the Xceed? Is the incoming sound natural allowing you fair to good word recognition? What programs did your Audi set you up with? Oh sorry - asked that question before but you ignored it. So hearing aids do well in quiet situation? Or do they do well in noisy situations? Or both?

Did you order Xceed with full custom molds and purchase the (Up - 675) battery, or not really sure? How long have you now worn the Xceed hearing aid?. Did your Audi have to do much fine tuning before you became comfortable with Oticon?

Oh by the way I’m not looking for you to compare the Xceed to Phonak Naida. I’m looking to find out (1) what you really like about the Xceeds and (2) how your hearing level improved versus previous hearing aid. So please do tell us “what your ears” really like about the Oticon Xceed. Since your last three posts really haven’t said anything about the “performance” of the Oticon Xceed.

Obviously you’re having a hard time trying to answers some simple questions about the performance of the Oticon Xceed. Yes each HA user has their own (personal) experience when testing a new hearing aid because everyone hears different (with a hearing loss/ haring aid). But just because you are a so called “simple guy” doesn’t mean you can’t inform others on Hearing Tracker how your aid performs in different environments, be it at home, eating out, streaming, etc. If your just saying trial the Xceed because you like it - you’re not going to get much attention here because the majority of posters are some what detail orientated. And of course it good to be detail orientated when buying something as expensive as a hearing aid. Good luck with the Oticon, but I suggest you do a little more homework on how HA’s work and what “programming” means before you post again.

That’s funny. I tried them for almost a month and found the bass background to just be tiresome after a while. Don’t get me wrong. I felt i could hear better with them but the background noise was very bass and not natural sounding. Just shows how everyone’s hearing loss is different.

#52

So speech in noise was impossible to understand?

#53

In your case, could you say the OPN S1 is better than Xceed?

They are almost same. Opn S1 have Spatial Sound which Xceed have not. But Xceed have much more power output.

My speech comprehension is at 20 percent. Both ears. So the bass background noise didn’t affect that. It was just always there and didn’t sound natural. Made my car sound like it needed a muffler. All cars and trucks passing the house sounded let like motorcycles. But that was my personal experience. When I tested the current naida aids background noise was more suppressed but at least sounded normal. I’m waiting for the marvel naidas to come out in Feb

Have you tried the Oticon OPN S1? I wonder if you could make a comparison with the Oticon Xceed.

#58

Naida Marvel will be in superpower variant only, without ultrapower.

#59

Yes I know it will only be in superpower. But I have to start somewhere.

#60

Please explain the difference between "superpower variation versus ultrapower HA’s? Aren’t we talking apples to apples here?

Also we can all speculate when a given (new) hearing aid will come out, but unless someone has specific (company) info on a release dates, it’s all “pie in the sky” talk. Early last year everyone was saying the Naida Marvel would come out in the fall of 2019. It didn’t.

#61

The Phonak SP and UP Naida aids have about 10 dB difference in gain output. The UP uses a 675 battery while the SP uses a 13.

I agree about the Marvel SP or UP aids not being out at this time. We will all have to see what happens.

can you tell me how your hearing aid is programmed? Is there a special program for streaming music? My wife just got the exceed and she says speech is great but music is terrible. She has three speech programs and when tele-coil and the iPhone streams over all of them and she says they are all bad. But strangely when I put the hearing aid close to my ear the music sounds good except for the tele-coil. Her loss is about 115 DB straight across. See the thread I just started: Oticon Xceed great for speech, not for music

#64

That’s because you have good hearing.

#65

I know. I’m just trying to figure out why it sounds so bad with the Oticon and was acceptable with the Phonak. I have this suspicion she’s hearing the music better but she’s so used to hearing it worse she is considering the better as bad. But she denies this is the case.
