    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.

    Piss poor customer service. Can't find an audiologist that can fit their products, let alone their own customer service reps. There is zero customer service or support from Oticon. They simply do not care. They are only focused on the sale and crickets after the sale is complete.

    I have had my Oticon Opn S 1 HA’s for roughly 3 1/2 years now. They are set up to function in CROS mode, seeing I have SSD in my right ear. In general they are a fine hearing aid, but I would warn folks that the CROS transmitter in these has distinct chatter that is intermittent that is very annoying to say the least. I have had my audiologist send both my HA and my CROS device back to Oticon numerous times and it has not been solved. If you need CROS take a good long look at a different solution. I also bought a pair of Widex EVOKE Fusion I’s. They have been no such problem at all. Highly recommend them.

    Received the hearing aids and hooked the tv transmitter to my LG tv. It fried my TV. Oticon took no responsibility and even suggested it may be LG. (Guessing defective circuit board on transmitter.) Two months in right hearing aid stopped working, replaced with a new one that didn’t pair with other one. Now the right one is only working intermittently. Do not buy this product.

    I have worn hearing aids for 7 years without problem. I just bought my new hearing aids and right after I tried them on they weren’t working. I was hearing static. My doctor told me to take them with me and see if I get used to it. I did not get used to it and went back to the doctor and requested a new hearing aids, instead of getting me a new hearing aids, the company repaired them. I am livid. I expect a product this expensive to come out of the box without needing repairs.

    To start with at $2500 an ear I expected better support from the company and a little more on the basic technology. 1st. When I stared using their hearing aid products, I needed help with the technical side of connecting to my devices. I contacted support, but even now as I write this, they still haven't replayed. Complete failure on their part. 2nd. At the price point I expected a much better app. More features and more adjustments for sound quality when connected to sound or auto/ visual devices. Yes at $2500 an ear they should be made to produce the best sound quality there is for entertainment via electronic devices. You can get better sound quality and adjustments in an app from a gas station set of headphones.

    3rd. The charging box for the devices. Why doesn't it have a better way of locking and securing the lid when closed. Would some sort of clasp or latch be to much to ask. I don't think so. Seems Oticon is more concerned about style than they are about security. My charging box recently fell from a self. It flopped open and now my left ear hearing aid is gone. Ever lose $2500? Well do to the lack of a 5 cent latch I'm out $2500. The hearing aids themselves are good. But at $2500 an ear they better well should be. However, they completely miss the mark when it comes to other areas of the complete package. And that's the fault of the design team and engineers. Overthinking the problem and NOT going back to the basic questions when it was in development. All together as a complete package. I would rate it 2 out of 5. Too expensive for what you get.

    I have had a pair of Oticon Hearing aids for just over four years. During that period, I have had to return the hearing aids five times: two for the left unit and three for the right unit. One of the repairs was due to water getting into the hearing aid and was my fault. The rest were electronic failures. Each time I would be without a hearing aid for 2 1/2 to 4 weeks. Most recently, the microphone failed on the left unit and, as the hearing aids are no longer under warranty, the repair cost $600.00. My hearing aid provider agrees that this number of failures in the units is not acceptable; they have suggested I look at an alternative brand when I need to replace the Oticon units. I will.

    Overall I am seriously disappointed in Oticon. I purchased the hybrid rechargeable & regular battery Oticon miniRITE hearing aids for $6,000 in 2018. Their software is very difficult for audiologists to program and Oticon is doing nothing to support replacement rechargeable batteries. These rechargeable hearing aids have better sound quality when using rechargeable batteries. Oticon tells me to speak with my care provider regarding batteries & software programming. I went through 5 Kaiser audiologists, none are trained in programming the software, and Oticon will not allow me access to the software.

    I changed my health network, found a wonderful PAMF Audiologist who quit during COVID. I cannot find an Audiologist who can accurately program Oticon software. I also have to take a chance and purchase rechargeable batteries ($65 each) from Roit Energy (Z-Power) who says Oticon will not support them in supplying batteries even though they took over the company who used to supply Oticon. If anyone has ideas on a good Audiologist or rechargeable please let me know!

    I expected more for what I paid for the Oticon S hearing aids. They fit poorly, constant noise and feedback and they did not improve my tinnitus as they claim to do. I can now see why they are ranked #5 and I’m also disappointed with the manufacturer’s lack of interest to help me resolve my issue with the clinic. No concern or care after the sales transaction. Will be looking at another manufacturer for my next hearing aids.

    I have had Oticon Hearing Aids for quite a number of years however the last 2 years the TV Streamers are a waste of time. The Streamers don't work well through the APP. You are constantly connecting to the TV Streamer every few seconds. It is so frustrating I am now changing brands. I have spoken to Oticon. They cannot resolve the issue. Thanks Oticon.

    This is the second pair of Oticon hearing aids I have had in 2 years after losing one due to mask wearing and the elastic. With this second pair I am constantly having one aid, or the other, just stop working. The setting from Regular or 'P1-General' to the TV setting, called 'TV Adapter/EdulMic' changes by itself without any effort on my part. With the first pair of the Oticon I bought the recharge battery but opted out of that feature with the replacement. Too often the battery would go dead mid day or early evening, which leaves one high and dry. Back to this pair, I am disabled person, 80 years of age, not physically active, so I do not see any particular reason for the aids to stop working. Recently I discovered the world of Audio books so it is really frustrating when one aid just stops, leaving me one eared so to speak.

    I have been back to the place I purchased my hearing aids from for the last 15 years and they tell me there is nothing wrong with my aids. They suggest perhaps the battery compartment door is not fully closed. A strange idea since it was working for 2 or 3 hours and then quit. I am not sure which is worse, having them stop working or being told there is nothing wrong, when there obviously IS something wrong. I do not like to be considered feeble brained because I am older. The other side of the coin is I love the TV speaker/hearing aid option. I can hear the TV through the hearings aids, which is really nice. At least when they are working. I forget how loud the TV speakers have to be for me to be able to hear it comfortably. I do not think this stopping working is a regular thing but it does not make the problem any less frustrating. I have had this pair since August of 2020. They replaced a pair that was 3 years old and that pair did not have this issue.

    I wanted to share an experience that highlighted additional value of my Oticon hearing aids. Unfortunately lost one recently out running errands, but where? The GPS "find my hearing aids" feature allowed me to track it down inside a very large grocery store, which was only 1 of several stops I had made that afternoon. Highly recommend these for sound quality and extra features like this one, saved the day!!

    I am profoundly hearing impaired and this is the only brand I know of that can help. I have been wearing them and upgrading every few years for about 20 years. I have shopped with several audiologists and came back to the one I found 15 years ago. He prescribes many brands.

    It is difficult to assign fault as to where to assign success or failure in hearing aids because so much is dependent on the personal cause of hearing loss - nerve damage, structural issues, etc.. I have owned three different brands of hearing aids and Oticon has improved my hearing the most. The ambient noise suppression is the best of those tried. The selective volume control for my hearing still needs improvement. Get the best audiologist because they can get the most out of the instrument..

    Bought other hearing aid from Costco, but this Oticon has well out performed the other. When I received my Oticon and had it programed for my special hearing needs, I could not believe the difference in quality. I have have this hearing aid for over 4 years, with yearly adjustment for my hearing loss. I cannot express loudly enough. This is the best quality and reliance I could have ever asked for.

    Very satisfied with my Oticon hearing aids. Originally recommended, fitted and calibrated by my audiologist. Small size hides comfortably behind my ear. Friends don’t even realize I am wearing them. Rechargeable negates the need for replacement batteries. Replaceable ear cones in various sizes assures a quality fit. Syncs with my iPhone for ease of adjustment if needed depending on my surroundings.

    I have been using Oticon hearing aids for over 15 years and have found this product to be very durable and trouble-free. The warranty period is three years and I ask my audiologist to send them to the manufacturer for a final check-up just before the warranty runs. When they return, all refurbished, they are generally good for another three years trouble free. After six years use, there are sufficient improvements in the product to justify replacement with the current product - another oticon. When repairs must be made (very rarely) the turn-a-round time is less than a week. The sound is very good and the audiologist can make all adjustments via her computer program very quickly. I generally have them checked by the audiologist every three months.
