While it features customizable sound settings through the Lucid Hearing app and boasts a 16-hour battery life, it lacks ear-level controls and has subpar Bluetooth audio quality, making it a mixed bag for users.
The Oticon Xceed is a powerful behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aid designed for individuals with severe-to-profound hearing loss, offering up to 146 dB SPL and 87 dB full-on gain. Powered by the Velox S platform with BrainHearing technology, it features OpenSound Navigator for improved speech clarity, iPhone streaming capabilities, and is available in two styles and three technology levels, starting at around $5,000 per pair.
