Following on from my earlier post, I saw my audiologist this week and he was painfully aware of the failings of the Oticon Companion app. He offered me a loan of a new Unitron model, the Moxi V-R. (Unitron are owned by Sonova, who also own Phonak - there is, apparently, a deal of shared technology). On the face of it, the app seemed to do want I wanted and allowed for lots of customisation. Sadly, it's shortcomings were revealed very quickly. In short, it's rubbish. Sound is 'pumping', with the processor too slow to react to changes in ambient sound - eg sitting in a quiet room with the radio on, add in a sound like a door opening or wife talking, and radio fades and then pumps up and down while the app flails around trying to set a sound level. Also, as for the Phonak, switching between programs has an overloud bong, which can't be adjusted. Falls at the first hurdle - for £3200, these people are having a laugh for sure. They must pay a lot for the guff written on their website ("Choice makes life beautiful") - it would be better spent on some decent app writers.
