Comparison of Linx2 with some other aids - sorry but I cannot compare with Oticon
I initially had the ReSound Linx 961s - a bit fiddley to get the programming right but sounded as good as the Phonak Q90s I tried before that once they were programmed right -less comfortable and slightly larger receiver - 312 batteries lasted me 5 full days with small amounts of streaming daily -loved the control app and the direct connection to my iPhone, iPad, iPod…
Next I had the ReSound Linx2 961s - a failure due to microphone noise and no rep in my state(a local problem) - sound would probably have been fine if the microphone noise had not driven me crazy - a bit more comfortable with new smaller receiver - 312 batteries lasted 6 days - both ReSound aids had quite stiff wires from aids to receivers.
Next the Phonak Audeo V90 312Ts - very natural sound - much more comfortable receivers - soft, very flexible wires - 312 batteries last 8 days - connectivity sucks - I refuse to wear a streamer (no lanyards allowed at work due to strangulation risk with confused patients, like to wear jewelry, do not want to have to explain it to everyone all the time, seems primitive, needs to be worn too close to HAs to be convenient, do not have clothes that would hide it etc…)
My audiologist originally told me that any high end hearing aid would be able to be programmed to suit my needs. She favors Phonak due to past good results/acceptance and slightly better prices negotiated with the manufacturer (original quote for Q90s was $600 cheaper per pair than Linx9s) but is happy to sell, program,service all aids. She said that if the V90s were not to my liking she would suggest I try the Oticon next. She felt the reports on the Starkey version of iPhone compatible aids had not been as well received as the ReSound version.
