Oticon Hearing Aids Reviews

Oticon hearing aids suck. For the amount of money that I paid for them it is outrageous that they don’t last longer. My hearing aids chime 100 times a day. First the volume drops then the right hearing rings then the left. This feature should NOT exist. My audiologist said it would cost me $400 each to fix the constant chiming. I look for another brand and I’ll be sure to tell everyone to find some other brand.

Updated on 09/27/2025: I have I spoke to John today in Canada who was not too much help. He said to restart Bluetooth and to do some things to stop them from BLE going off my bluetooth on my phone. These are nothing but Denmark made garbage. Their motto should be money first. They do not care ABOUT CUSTOMER SERVICE. Made by a bunch of idiots. DO NOT buy these. Customer service is terrible.

I have had a pair of Opn S1 miniRITEs almost 7 years and they have worked very well. I have my audiologist adjust them about every two years. They were sent in for repair just before the warranty expired and refurbished by Oticon. Otherwise, they have performed very well. I wear them daily and am very happy with the product.

I love my Intent 1s. They have been a huge improvement in sound for me in background noise. I feel more involved in the conversations than before. I would recommend to anyone going to HearingLife and purchasing the Oticon Intent1.

I purchased the Oticon Own IIC Hearing aids in 2023. The only good thing I'll say is that they are nearly invisible. After several months, they began to stop working intermittently. I had to send them back to the company for a rebuild. They have never stayed in my ears very well despite having them supposedly made to fit my ear. After talking or chewing food, they practically fall out of my ears. Also, I'm really not sure if they help my comprehension of conversation. While they do magnify sound, they seem to magnify background noise more than conversation which makes it hard to hear people speaking when there is any other noise (such as riding in a car, traffic noise, crowd noise). I can't believe these are any better than cheapo over-the-counter hearing aids.

Bought my Oticon hearing aids from hearing life in Hamilton ON about a year ago. Had a three month trial and was disturbed at the reliability of them but bought them anyway based on the great service I received. Since buying them they have not worked for more than three consecutive days without requiring service. I have never been more disappointed in anything I have ever purchased.

I purchased a pair of Real 1 miniRite R hearing aids on June 8, 2023. Warranty through 06/08/26. In Aug or Sept, I began to have a problem with the right aid in that it would intermittently turn on and off. I went back to the audiologist I purchased from who could not duplicate the problem. I went again and the problem was recognized and I was told that the aid would be replaced. It was not. I went again in Dec. or so and was told it would be repaired. It was not. Returning to do business with that company is not going to happen. I will not be lied to. On Mar. 11, 2024 I went to a different audiologist who repaired the mal-functioning aid at a cost of $100.00 which I paid. This was paid when the repair should have been a warranty issue.

I had spent quite a bit for these chargeable hearing aids, I’m not really that impressed! I have Free come and gone back to the audiologist who does adjustments and there wasn’t any improvement. I’m not sure if it was worth the money.

My husband is extremely hard of hearing. He purchased hearing aids (HA) made by Oticon but one was so uncomfortable that he had to leave it out for several hours/day. The audiologist adjusted it repeatedly but finally decided to return it to Oticon for adjustment. They kept it 1 month (!). It turned out that they were using the wrong email for the audiologist. Then, when it came back it was still uncomfortable. So, the audiologist decided to have it remade. It has now been >1 month and Oticon still has not sent the remade HA. We will not be using this company in the future.

I have had my new Oticon OPN-S 3 hearing aids for around a year and a half so far. Both hearing aids have been sent out for multiple repairs. Today I went to pick up my right hearing aid after being repaired (replaced receiver in ear mold) and replaced a wire that was corroded. Both receivers have been replaced since I bought these new. Then I find out my left hearing aid is not holding connection thru WiFi/Bluetooth to right hearing aid when audiologist was trying to set them up again. So now the left hearing aid is being sent out again. I know they are still under warranty but this is ridiculous. I am now looking at the “AT Lemon Law”. At this point I feel I should get 2 new Oticon hearing aids with new warranty. Very upset because my insurance only covers hearing aids once every 5 years and I have been having all this trouble in the first year of owning these hearing aids.
