I am from the Netherlands and take great care to get programmable aids so I can program them to use them with my piano.

I wore the Bernafon Chronos 9’s for 5 years. From June till September '18 I tested the Oticon OPN 1’s, Phonak Audeo B90’s, ReSound Verso 9’s, Oticon Nera 2’s and the Phonak Naida V70’s. In October '18 I bought and programmed used Phonak Bolero 90 SP’s.

Quite happy with them. No quite sure whether they are better than the OPN 1’s for speech in a group of people, but they are a lot better for playing the piano.

Both program switches died on me with the Bolero’s. So I acquired Phonak Marvel Audeo 90’s with P receivers via this forum all the way from the USA. They’ve been working fine since Januari '21. Speech understanding is a bit better in groups. Unfortunately, they connect directly to the mobile without the ComPilot and they are rechargeable. Those technologies are still in their infancy and at the moment a step back.
