Oticon Xceed Hearing Aid

Liked the sound quality. Very compatible even in noisy environments. 

Been using Oticon Chili SP 7 for 7 years now and I loved it but they are getting old so, I am forced to find another set of hearing aids and I got Oticon Xceed due to all the rave about it.  It's been over a year now and I still don't like the compression of sounds, nothing is natural about it.  My audiologist is trying everything she got to get it to "match" to Chili SP 7 and it seems that I have to toggle between two settings depending on the environment that I am in and that's way more work for someone who is used to hearing everything. I've had severe to profound hearing loss for over 36 years.  I get a lot of whistling and feedback when listening to music and car ride and I never had that with Chili SP 7.  I pray that Oticon brings back Chili or something very similar.

I still need codify when trying to hear on phone

been using Oticon hearing aids for just under 14 years hearing loss is 1.5% in one ear 4% in other the features are nice but my only issue is with Connect clip vs Streamer. Connect Clip uses more power on my phone and most of the time people can not hear me with it and thus go to my phone and use speaker instead. Only issue is phone use hands free, Streamer  was superior, but Xceed1 are not compatible  with it. In another year will be  shopping again as the life span is 5 years. For severe hearing loss these are good, also I have all the other extras that are compatible with Xceed1.

Background noise in stores, car, etc. a problem for these aids, I can not tell any difference when I try to manually lower or increase volumes. I am returning before trial ends & getting something different.

I have loaners for about 7 days. Cticon 1.

The first 4 days were fantastic.  Could understand folks even with their masks on! Now the 5th - 7th day,... the background noise continues to become prevalant over the near by spoken word.  I have not had any hands on instruction to reduce the background noise,.. so the jury is still out!

I have worn hearing aids for over 45 years having suffered hearing loss while in the service.  I have been very fortunate to be able to afford the latest top of the line aids since the early 1970s.  My hearing loss is very profound and I have found the Oticon BTE Xceed to be the best aid I have ever used.  The TV adapter together with the outstanding pairing with my iphone gives me a unique to participate in hearing environment which previously was much more limited.  Oticon is an outstanding product and I highly recommend the Xceed for those with serious hearing loss.  Lastly, they are reasonably priced...consider Oticon when purchasing hearing aids.

I think these are an awesome gift to have.

Oticon's Exceed continues my experience that each new generation of aids improves (modestly) on the model it replaces (Phonak Naida V90 BTE).  That said, my hearing profile forces me to accept that no miracles are likely.  The Exceed improves on the Naida mainly in being able to provide increased distortion-free volume in normal speaking situations.  Does it solve the restaurant problem?  No.  Background noise remains a difficulty, about the same as the Naida model. 

I upgraded from Oticon Chilis so I could try out this whole "BrainHearing" technology I kept reading about... Unfortunately, my brain is still not hearing with the new Oticons! I am still having a great deal of trouble in background noise, though I guess you could say it is a marginal improvement over the last pair. The one thing I absolutely love is being able to have hands-free calls with my hearing aids... but unfortunately I needed to buy the ConnectClip to make that a reality. No hands-free without it, even with iPhone!!
