I picked up my CROS again today and the audiologist has fixed the static/interference sound (not sure how but it is totally gone). I have the ActiveVent in the “good” side now. The streaming sound is now very good.
Boy, the “click” is not really a click but a loud clunk, as it switches venting. Not much of an issue except when scrolling on YouTube where is comes in and out (clunk, clunk, clunk) as you scroll, deciding what to watch. Same on instagram. Also, when it’s engaged, the CROS streaming cuts out (plus the vent is closed) so while I was listening to a podcast my husband was calling out my name and I had no idea at all. Apparently the Oticon doesn’t do this.
I’m now going to live with it for a couple of weeks to see if the rechargable batteries have enough life for me and if I like CROS as a concept or if I will try a pair of traditional hearing aids instead (that was the best option I tried a couple of years ago).
