    Are the Oticon More aids that much better than the OPN aids?

    @Dankailo: I'm still wearing my More1s because the rechargeable batteries make them inconvenient to keep as my spares, but I look forward to putting in my Real2s every month or so ... I do find that the definition of sounds amplufied by the Reals is superior. I'm coming up on the end of the...

    Are the Oticon More aids that much better than the OPN aids?

    Well, I'm back to my Real2s, which I prefer to my More1s regardless of which set of receivers I employ. They are crisper, clearer, sound stronger, and give me superior speech comprehension and awareness of my surroundings. [I realize this is at odds with some reactions on another forum, but it...

    Are the Oticon More aids that much better than the OPN aids?

    I have no idea why MoreSoundBooster is proving to be an effective beam-former since Companion was released, when it was a complete dud with the ON app. (I can't say that the improved beamforming translates into improved comprehension on my part.)

    @Volusiano : I either missed these completely, or they didn't load onto my smartphone. I'll try to figure out what happened. I have 16 pages of text now. When I posted my comments, I had only 5 ... Impatient, I was ... Thanks.

    Are the Oticon More aids that much better than the OPN aids?

    @Volusiano: Well, if, indeed, they are perceiving a difference in the Reals' performance, this is not so far-fetched. But - has anyone objectively quantified how much better Reals are at handling sudden noise...

    Are the Oticon More aids that much better than the OPN aids?

    @Volusiano : It's 6:00 pm AST here and I've just exchanged receivers between my More1s and Real2s . I'll report back on whether they are, indeed, responsible for the difference in sound I'm hearing between the 2 sets of devices - a fair trial will probably take a couple of days. [FWIW -...

    Are the Oticon More aids that much better than the OPN aids?

    @Volusiano : I am wearing my More1 devices and am rubbing on them vigorously, attempting to generate handling noise. There is no real handling noise, to speak of. YMMV. I have already reported on the absence of wind noise in my FJ Cruiser. [Addendum: Thus, good Mr @Volusiano, we may conclude...

    MaK @Volusiano: I feel stupid that this idea never occurred to me. I change receivers all the time, for cleaning purposes, so I know how it's done!

    Are the Oticon More aids that much better than the OPN aids?

    Okay ... I got 5+ days out of a pair of out-of-date 312 batteries in my Real2s. I'm sorry to see them go back into mothballs, again. I suspect that the crispness I'm noticing is merely an artifact of the brand new receivers in the Reals, and perhaps not the Polaris S chipset, after all. (I'm...

    Are the Oticon More aids that much better than the OPN aids?

    I couldn't resist putting new batteries into my Real2s this afternoon, and firing them up. The words that my stream of consciousness bring to mind are "smooth, electric Tesla power for my ears*" ...:rolleyes: (*Sorry - it's the best I could do!) These hearing devices capture so many details...

    @pvc : Thanks for your reply. I may have got the emoticon problem licked :cool:. I'm looking forward to wearing my new Reals full-time, next February, once the More1s have been sent out for end-of-warranty refurbulence.

    Are the Oticon More aids that much better than the OPN aids?

    :pAfter 4 days of wearing my More1s, exclusively, I've popped in my Real2s, and I can definitely hear a difference between the two. May I offer a preliminary, highly subjective opinion? Oticon Real2s are superior to my old More1 devices. It's hard for me to describe the differences. Some of...

    @e1405 : This is another example that illustrates why we farm boys think that the cityfied engineers that design these things don't understand that - for types that live out in the country ( meaning country and not suburbs ) - an uninterrupted power supply is a dream, and night time charging...

    Are the Oticon More aids that much better than the OPN aids?

    @Volusiano: You're a smart man, and full of sage advice. I'm going to wear my Real2s for a month, just out of curiosity, and do what you say, once I have a better idea of their capabilities. The More1s won't be happy or easy to maintain "in mothballs". As you once advised me - with my Real2s as...
