Your Oticon Opn accessories (Phone/TV Adapter/ConnectClip) may have sound quality issues depending on your Oticon Opn hearing aid settings. These issues have been discussed in various threads. Special thanks to @Volusiano for being a trail blazer for these connectivity issues.
If you are not a self-programmer then your audiologist will have to change these settings using the Oticon Genie 2 fitting software and a programming device.
The settings can be accessed by clicking the (Phone/TV Adapter/ConnectClip) Tabs at Genie 2/End Fitting;
Phone Tab: In addition to the default settings below that are programmed into your Opn hearing aids you can also use your cellphone volume sliders and your hearing aid buttons for additional control.
- Phone loudness = your phone volume that you hear in your hearing aids.
- M relative to phone = your hearing aid microphone volume to hear the person(s) standing next to you.
- Sound Quality = brighter or fuller
- Power Bass = off, low, mid, or high amount of bass
TV Adapter: same settings as Phone;
Tip: you can toggle your hearing aid mute button (generally hold either hearing aid button for a very long press, 3+ seconds) to listen to TV with no hearing aid microphone input. When the need arises to talk to a person next to you, then a quick button press on either hearing aid will un-mute the microphones so you can listen to the person next to you. Note: If you do use this mute/un-mute toggle then you will want to set (M relative to TV) to the right most value which is 0 dB attenuation for the mic, meaning there’s no attenuation and you’ll hear everything from the mic like normal.
ConnectClip Tab:
Also same settings as Phone. Check out the information at the bottom saying the settings are only for the ConnectClip microphone;
The above images show only one side (right ear) for brevity; Here’s both sides. Notice the icon directly in the center (two small circles inside a bigger circle). Toggle that icon to adjust two ears at once, or to adjust right-side, left-side individually;
