FWIW, Bill - it’s an immediate and comfortable decision for me to advise: if you can afford the More1 premium over the More2s, get the More1s. (I don’t think you should consider More3s - I don’t think they have enough handles for your loss, from the sounds of it.)
I have been wearing More1s for 6 months. They probably have more features and power than I need, however they are clear winners on 2 counts:
- Music sounds great through them, and
- They afford my audiologist the best chance of keeping pace as my hearing continues to deteriorate, because they have all the power of this latest generation of hearing instruments. (In retrospect, however, I could probably have gone with More2s and not made a mistake.)
[This all assumes that you subscribe to Oticon’s BrainHearing and OpenSound paradigms.]
And #2 is my reason for unreservedly pointing you towards the More1s: they’ll give you and your audiologist the best odds of keeping up with your hearing loss.
I hope I haven’t overstepped, or sounded too much like your friendly Oticon Snake Oil Pusher!
