My Whisper AI trial vs. Oticon More

@ziploc, this just doesn’t sound right to me. First of all, the MoreSound Booster is a feature that’s only available in the ON app and has to be enabled/disabled by you, so I struggle to understand how you have it set up “all the times”? Or do you mean that your audi and/or the Oticon rep created the equivalent of the MoreSound Booster version into your default program P1?

Secondly, can you elaborate on what they do exactly in your P1 program to make it the equivalent of the MoreSound Booster?

Thirdly, why would you want the MoreSound Booster equivalent in your P1 program all the times in the first place? The reason Oticon make it an option that requires users to turn on/off themselves in the ON app is because Oticon doesn’t want users to use it all the times. They want users to use it only as a last resort when they really struggle with speech in noise in very complex environment, so they set it up that way. I wonder if your having the equivalent MoreSound Booster on all the times might have messed up how your More is truly intended to work in the first place?

Fourthly (and finally), Oticon has been giving users very conflicting information about how the MoreSound Booster works. The details are too much to share here, but if you’re interested in learning more, below is the link starting at post 99 that goes into details what I’m talking about here (which spills over to another thread in the second link below that starts at post 58. So what I’m saying is that I don’t even know whom/what to believe when trying to understand from Oticon how the MoreSound Booster works anymore. So I would go to great pains not to turn it into a permanent feature in your default P1 program, but would use it sparingly via the ON app switch only when I have difficulty with SIN to see if it helps or not.
