Do any hearing aids allow you to switch between normal and mode?

Was just thinking about my .

Currently wear 2 normal Oticon Optim / OPN S hearing aids.

Was thinking about the Oticon Intent. Can they work like a CROS device as well? Can you control it in the Oticon Companion App?

Edited

you should try bilateral and see. You can amplify well up to 4khz on the right ear. you should be able to hear better with 2 ears.

edit. keep in mind most speech is between 500Hz and 4Kz.

up to 2khz you right ear is only mild loss, it’s bad at and after 4khz.

but there’s plenty of speech recognition left in the right ear. would be a waste to go cross.

edit 2: the intent can not be used as a cross device. you can make left side louder if you feel the right side is only gibberish in the app. they can function with a cross device.

you could get a pair of intent and for heavy noise you could use a separate cross device on the right ear if you wanted to, instead of the 2nd right intent.
