Yes, @pvc is the man for sure! He deserves so much credit for all the DIY documentation and assistance he's given out around here!

Ah, thanks for the clarification @e1405 !

So @lamcom -> to summarize, your copy of HearSuite didn't work but reinstalling @pvc 's copy of his HearSuite works? Where did you get your copy of HearSuite in the first place? Did you record your HearSuite's version number and the one from @pvc to compare to see if they are different...

Thanks for the tip. I didn't realize that the streaming volume will remember the manual adjustment you make on the buttons for next time use. I always thought that you'd have to go into Genie 2 to adjust the default for a permanent change. I always assumed that anything you do on the manual...

Below is the link to the video on YouTube, and a snapshot of that video at 3:51 minutes into the video where it mentions the 5 years of use.

I concur with @pvc , there's really no major issue on the Intent as compared to the Real. The only disadvantage of the Intent is that the rechargeable battery is now not easily replaceable at the HCP office anymore. It must be sent back to the factory to be replaced. But it was suggested by...

My understanding is that older generation audiometry equipment cannot support ACT. And even if you have a newer generation audiometer that can support ACT, you will also need to buy a license in order to use ACT. I have no idea how much such a license costs, and whether it's a one-time license...

In case it hasn't been said somewhere before in this thread or in links from this thread, the Oticon Genie 2 software does give the option to input the result of the ACT test into it so that it can use it as a criteria to determine how to most appropriately set the parameters in the MoreSound...

A word of caution. If the smart charger's battery goes bad and you can readily get a replacement from the VA again easily, then by all means experiment to see how many cycles you can really get out of it. But I just saw a thread in the other forum (Philips charger system error?) where the OP...

The idea for in-situ is that part of the individual characteristic of that particular hearing aid, regardless of the model, but the actual unit itself, combined with the receiver as a whole system, is what should be involved in the in-situ testing. Based on this, if you just transfer the...

Wow, that's such a great deal. Can you PM me this eBay contact? I assume that you're in the US, right? I also assume that they're new aids, but probably warranty is not included?

How nice to have an early unofficial release of the smart travel charger!

It's pretty impressive that you can hear that nail sound on your tire with the windows down.

When you lay them out this way, the Intent doesn't look as short as they make it out to be compared to the More or Real.

Now you're making me feel excited about getting my own Intent. I'm waiting to hit my max out of pocket on my medical insurance, which should allow me to get the Intent with 100% of its cost covered. Hopefully later on this year.

What did you have before the Intent, @pvc ? Was it the More or the Real? It sounds like the Intent is a major and significant step up then?

Yes, this DNN stuff is real and not just marketing because it has existed in 3 generations of Oticon aids, from the More and Real with the DNN 1.0 to the Real with the DNN 2.0. Many people have reported better speech in noise performance in the Intent and the same between the More and Real, so...

I'm excited to hear that both @pvc and @BeachBill are getting your Intents and trying it out. Please share your experience with the Intents back here on the forum so we can learn about their performance better through your experience! It's also great that we have DIY'ers using the Intent...

Looks like you already have the answer. Wonder why you bother asking? Also, your question is not specific enough. Best formula for what? For speech in noise? For music? For overall natural sounding perception? I know that you did say for sloping hearing loss (precipitous loss), but most...

You will need earmold for the left ear for sure with that kind of heavy loss. For the right ear, you can probably get buy with a generic dome and an 85 dB receiver. On the left year, you'll need at least a 100 dB receiver, preferably a 105 dB receiver with custom molds. If you can't get...
