Your Experiences good/bad on the Oticon Intent since introduction

Hello community,
I ended up the test period of 60 days with the Intent's and brought them back....to change to the former latest model..
Reasons: Price, sleeker (a bit smaller) with wearing glasses. But the first reason was the most important one for me
 
Yes, Big Bucks. Though, the Costco version (Philips Hearlink 9050) is becoming available from Oticon's sister company,→ Philips.

Here's a link to the → Costco version for $1500 (you will need to scroll down).

Actually, the 50's are also not equal to Philips top line models because they typically have the higher models (70's and 90's).

I decided for the Real 1's and for now I'm pretty confident with them. Battery life is about 18 hours and wind handling is ok. I think Genius has a quicker reponse than the Polaris, from which I notice over 1 day.
 
The Philips Hearlink 9050 is top-of-the-range. The first two digits in the model number, 90, 70, 50, 30, 10, indicate the level, while the second two digits, 50, 40, 30, 10, indicate the product's different platforms.
 
Thanks @menglxs I figured out later my comment was not correct. But then I forgot that I said it here too. :oops:
 
Not sure I understand the answers given here. Oticon's top model is the Intent. Which uses the same microchip as the Philips 9050. In fact, the units look exactly alike externally. So it has the same hardware capabilities. The software used to interact with those capabilities may be different. But, those capabilities should be exploitable to the same degree by any software, unless the maker Ademant turns them off at the hardware level depending on who the value added reseller is (Oticon, Philips).

The different capability levels even exists within the same brand (Oticon models - Intent 1, Intent 2, etc).

But no capabilities that I know about have been exploited yet. Well, maybe one capability has been exploited. That is, you can use the TrueFit software to renew the Trial period every 5 or 6 weeks for some Unitron Trial hearing aids.

Nothing else that I know about has changed these different capability levels. If anyone can make a premium model from a basic model please let us know. We are ready to buy the cheap version! ;)
 
Hallo, ich schreibe aus Deutschland und mein Englisch ist nicht gut. Ich verwende ein Übersetzungsprogramm.
Ich habe Oticon-Modelle – Intent 3 und möchte wissen, ob ich die Modelle auf Intent 1 entsperren kann.
Ich habe ein Noahlink Wireless 2 und das Genie 2.
Ich glaube, ich brauche dafür einen Code oder etwas Ähnliches. Die DIY-Schulhörgeräte - (v2.2)
Ich habe es schon gelesen!
Grüße Affe

Nein, Sie können nicht mithilfe eines Codes oder anderer Workarounds preiswerte Modelle mit eingeschränkten Funktionen in High-End-Modelle mit vielen Funktionen umwandeln.

Die Mütter der Techniker, die Hörgeräte entwerfen und herstellen, haben keine dummen Kinder großgezogen. ;)

Phonak/Unitron has some "Trial" hearing aids than can be set to any performance level for a try-out period of time (maybe 5 or 6 weeks) and thereafter they will emit annoying beeps unless the trial period is reset.

I have seen some hearing aids with "DEMO" written on the side? DIYers can reset the Trial Period on those old Unitrons.
 
Falls das nicht gut übersetzt wurde: Ich meinte nur, dass ihre Techniker sehr schlau sind!

In case that did not translate well, I only meant their technicians are very smart!
 
Hallo, wurde sehr gut übersetzt und es ist schade, dass es nicht möglich ist. Grüße aus Deutschland. Affe;)

And, here's my Oticon Intent 1's with custom molds; Note that the wax filters for Custom Molds are the Profit Wax Filters and not the smaller miniFit Wax filters.

TIP: Click the image to enlarge! Click it multiple times!! Mouse-Click-and-Hold the enlarged image to Drag it around and view different parts.

This is good information. I was wondering which wax guard I was needed for this ear mold.
 
Look three lines above your question to where it says which filters; ;)
Oh, wait. My bad; it is miniFit ProWax not Profit; I will go correct that!!

Greetings. i would be interested in how you all have been getting along with Oticon Intent 1. Personally , I just received a pair of Oticon Intent 1 about a week ago. So far i am very happy with them. I have done DIY programming. And I have them to a point that i am pleased . Has anyone else done DIY programming with these? I am currently due for an Audiogram, but am using My older audiogram about a year old. I am considering getting a new audiogram and having them professionally fitted with REM . Has anyone else started with DIY then have them fitted professionally? What do you like about the Intents? Have you experienced any draw backs. Thank you for your thoughts
