These are my Intent 1s below with the new → Oticon Intent OtoTherm Molds that use your body heat to shape the molds for a comfortable fit matching your ear canals. Noteworthy, the Intents use AI-DNN (artificial intelligence deep neural network) to enhance speech-in-noise.

saw these online and was really intrigued ... how are they? They seem much larger than anticipated, is it me or do they really protrude from the ear canal , does it sit like a custom mould?

It's a macro/closeup picture, and macro/closeup photography makes things look larger. For example the large spider legs below.

It is a custom mold and yes, it sits like a custom mold without protruding. Also Oticon has a new receiver design that uses your ear-canal-direction (which is not a straight/90-degree-angle hole in your head) as leverage to press the receiver wire closer to your head so that the receiver wire does not protrude. Link to → Ear canal direction which is upward-or-downward and forward-or-backward depending on your viewpoint.

After wearing Oto-Therm for a short while and they warm up, then they feel comfortable like warm bubble gum in your ears. But not that sticky. :p

I first programed m OPN S1's with Genie 2 2022.1 and upgraded to 2023.1 in 2023 when my audiogram was updated. I now have a new updated audiogram so wanted to update to the latest Genie 2 before updating my OPN S1's. I don't see the genie update choice any longer so I updated the OPN S1's with the 2023.1 version. Assuming Genie updates mainly add support for newer hearing aids models?
 
Sometime (or even many times) there are bug fixes and/or firmware updates included.
 
Also note that Genie Updater runs in your Windows Sys Tray. Right mouse button click the updater to check status. It may be waiting to update your older Version?
 
If Genie 2 doesn't update then read your PM/Private Message/Conversation for more information.
 
Thank you ! Did the update today. Modern design for sure.
Also a firmware update for Real to 1.1.2 which should solve multiple connecting issues .
Is there a Release Note for this version as i was too late to click and see it while was updating.
 
Heck, I can't find Release notes either? Used to be a Help/About or something like that?
Maybe 2025.1.1 is all new (or a fresh design) as opposed to an update to the previous design? :oops:

That newly updated Oticon Intent firmware Version 1.2.1 says: Easy LE Adapter: Ensures compatibility with Easy LE Adapter.Feedback analyser: Enables Feedback analyser measurements duringRemote Fitting sessions.Tinnitus SoundSupport™: Adds compatibility with new TinnitusSoundSupport controls in the Oticon Companion app.Voice Notifications: Enables a broader choice of Voice Notifications in the hearing aids. General Updates: Includes various improvements for better connectivity and overall performance.

My Intents are one version back on 1.1.0, and since these firmware updates are all related to a new fitting session, then I am not going to start a new fitting session just to take that firmware update. So I will stay one version back on 1.1.0. Note in the image below that the Genie 2 firmware updater considers version 1.1.0 as "up to date" by saying;
  • Right side is up to date - Left side is up to date
Also note that the "Update firmware" is disabled/Greyed-out.

Hello, I have a question, does it make sense to update Oticon Genie 2025? What is better than 2024?
Does Xceed have a firmware update?
 
I don't see any updates for Xceed.
Xceed are not likely to get anymore updates.
It's a new interface. So it wouldn't hurt to install 2025.1 to start getting used to the new interface.
 
Good afternoon i am looking for a recent version to Genie 2. I am having issues with my VA hearing aids and am new to all of this, I ordered a Noahlink
 
Me too. I'm tired to pay my doctor and decided to adjust my More1 by myself. Noahlink is ready

NOAHlink (an old obsolete hearing aid programming device) will not work for Oticon More 1 hearing aids. You will need to use (Noahlink Wireless or Noahlink Wireless 2).

My left Oticon OPN S1 keeps dropping bluetooth connection to my iphone. I know it has an issue because I have to long press the lower rocker switch twice to turn it off. Otherwise it seems to work as a hearing aid. Looking for a newer set, like a Real 1. What do you recommend?

Sorry, I don’t provide (personalized/one-on-one/Private Conversation) help. Please post as a Reply on a forum topic (or start a new topic) so that others may benefit. When you ask in a Private Conversation, then no one else will get any future benefit/clues about how things work. Thanks for helping future DIYers by posting on → one of these forums.

Also, I don't like to recommend used rechargeable hearing aids. Why? Because the batteries are built-in and non-replaceable. So it's a gamble to calculate how much remaining battery life you have before used rechargeable hearing aids become unusable?

Oticon Real 1's do have replaceable Z22a Lion rechargeable Batteries. However, they use Inductive-Loop charging and I believe that this contactless charging technology has issues with lasting (a full day +Plus streaming) with one charge to the Z22a Lion rechargeable Battery. Though, the reduced battery life may be okay for older retired folks who go to bed early, or maybe can top off the batteries when taking a nap.
The newer Oticon Intent's have switched back to contact-charging for longer daily battery hours of use. Caution; the chargers are not interchangeable.

The latest hearing aid models have important new technology;
  • Artificial Intelligence-AI to reduce/remove noise from speech
  • Streaming technology for Intent/others is slowly migrating to new technology (Auracast). Though, I don't keep track of streaming technology because I don't use it much?? But you may want to keep track of this new technology?

Thank you for your feedback. I didn't realize the newer Oticon HA's rechargeable batteries were not replaceable. I can replace the Z22A batteries in my OPN S1's. You are right, if I stream for more than a couple of hours, the HA's don't last all day so have to give them a 20-30 minute charge to get through. I'm not a big streamer so it hasn't been a problem for me.
 
Request for Full Genie 2 v2024.2 Installer

I am a DIY private user with Oticon More 1 hearing aids. I originally installed Genie (Genie 2020_1 version), and later updated it to Genie 2 2021.2.1 and finally to Genie 2024.2 using the Genie Updater. However, I also recently installed the NOAH System, and Genie 2 is not showing up as a fitting module in NOAH i.e. NOAH doesn’t yet "know" that Genie 2 is a compatible fitting module.

I understand that I now need the full installer for Genie 2 v2024.2 to properly register it with NOAH. Could anyone kindly provide a download link or instructions?

I am working with files provided by my audiologist and need to open a .enhax session through NOAH.

Thank you very much for your assistance.
