No I needed a new replacement with microphone covers, not really that different…

In reply to @Raudrive

Not at this time, the vivia / enzo IA is not supported at this time. my advice is to take the hearing aid now then any time they can add support to it within the year. This is what I actually do…

OK, I have Enzo Q series hearing aids, and I often use the “live listen” feature on my iPhone. My question to you is: how does the Enzo IA model compare to the “live listen” feature thanks to technology?

Auracast technology?

What is the source of the signal transmitted on the broadcast? That will determine the quality. If the source is a house board feeding the mix from using nice mics, that will probably be preferred. If it is another mic laying about near the stage/speaker, it probably won’t be much different.

Although the Hear In noise program (it was one of the default programs that came with it) works quite well with Scan 2 FF, I normally use Scan 2 and the Omnidirectional program in noise. The Vivia has the same performance, but the Hear In noise program takes it to a whole new level, but it is too narrow and too aggressive for my taste. So I switch to SCAN 2 FF/Hear In noise program as a last resort.

No, it is Resound’s Hear All Around main automatic program. Scan 2 is the cochlear automatic program. Both don’t use a very aggressive beamformer.

In reply to @ssa

IIRC, Resound has one of the most aggressive beamformer in industry in their Noise programs, especially when their HA are fitted binaurally (so 2 mics on every side). For what I know (correct me, if I am wrong) even their Intelligence Augmented is more like Phonak AutoSense OS to make beamforming narrower than Spheric Speech Clarity, which can be also omnidirectional, and works also with only one hearing aid.

@Raudrive, I don’t want to be seen as “pressurisator”, but out of curiosity - have you tried Scan?

@Bimodal_user said:

have you tried Scan?

Yes, I have used SCAN enough to really know if I like it or not. The N8 has SCAN 2, I suspect the new K3 will be the same. With the confusion of Nexa coming the terminology of processors with each system will be a pain for many.

I prefer less processing and noise reduction.

In reply to @Bimodal_user

I’m on the Vivia 7 rechargeable with Ultrapower . The Intelligent Noise tracker// beamformer “focus” is not available on the monaural / configuration. Even if I upgrade to the 9, it requires binaural config…

Will the non Nexa K3 have ?
Thanks

Just realized this is off topic, sorry about that.

In reply to @ssa

Hi, i also hears from left ear only ,right ear is dead . I want to inquire whether the premium hearing aids offering functionality and features are any use to us folks with one functional ear that too with severe to profound hearing loss

yes

Here in the US, they recommend the 7, the 9 is basically a waste of money because you don’t have working pairs. the top feature for monaural config can be found in the 7

My last hearing test in noise (4 multibabble test in noise) hitting 75%. i was wearing the omnia at the time. So this is why i hear no different in my preferred setting but i do like how the microphones are more sensitive now .

There isn’t a difference between the scan 1 and 2 unless the processor upgrade count?

Yes, reportedly massive +5 difference. I can’t find quickly my post about it. It probably in topic about Nucleus Nexa.

@ssa, what setting do you have with ? IIRC you have massive 100 dB IDR? How many n of m peaks you use - 8? And did they provides you the info how much pulse per second you have in you mappings?

For me there is almost nothing useful from that features. It’s streaming, but I wouldn’t use it.

So, for me, as Cochlear user, the best choice was Audeo Infinio Sphere 90.

The only real solutions is offered by Advanced Bionics with Naida Link. However, it’s IIRC 2018 technology, quite old…

There is my insights in CI with Resound vs. Phonak Sphere issues:

First Timer - Going with Phonak Sphere
Thank you. I am considering buying LACE AI Pro from Dr. Cliff’s discount link because of its reportedly scientifically proven additional +6 dB SNR after training, which is massive, but it is quite expensive. Regarding Resound, I did my research long ago and again after the Resound Vivia announcement, but I have found no benefit from their binaural offering (EDIT: this is in my case, YMMV. END OF EDIT). Their solution is only binaural streaming, which is not useful in my case, as I want to isol…
First Timer - Going with Phonak Sphere
Not really. I am asymmetrical and Sphere is the only HA that can use unilateral AI. Oticon Intents, Starkey Edge AI and Resound Vivia seem to require binaural fitting to achieve the full potential of their DNNs. For me Phonak Sphere it’s probably the only option.
Hear Advisor Review of Resound Vivia
For me, patient with only one hearing ear (CI in the second, poorer ear). Sphere has many positives: Its AI works not only unilateral, but also could work with only one microphone (but Infinio Sphere has 2 mics, for better efficiency). Resound Vivia AI is probably useless in my case, because it’s AI requires binaural fitting for getting its full capability. I suppose that AI in Vivias are mainly for more accurate adjustments of the directionality - nothing new for me. It’s not true that Sp…

I have N8 SCAN 2 default IDR which I don’t know what it is. I’m 10 maximas @ 720 PPS giving me a 7200 total PPS
