The Audicus Omni 2 delivers strong speech clarity and versatile streaming, making it a solid premium choice for everyday listeners.
Top 6% of OTC Hearing AidWe measured speech clarity in quiet, speech intelligibility in noise, music streaming quality, feedback management, and own-voice naturalness. The purple SoundScore graph is the overall result, and the five graphs after it break it into individual measurements for the selected fit. Each curve shows how scores are spread across all tested hearing aids, and the dot and number mark the score for Audicus Omni 2.
Every hearing aid is lab-tested in two states — as it sounds out of the box, and after professional tuning. Switch fits to update the five metric graphs below.
How clearly speech comes through in calm, one-on-one surroundings.
Speech understanding against loud background noise — the toughest everyday test.
How natural your own voice sounds while wearing the aids, without a boomy, plugged-up quality.
Sound quality of music streamed to the hearing aids over Bluetooth.
Resistance to the whistling and squealing caused by acoustic feedback.
Lab Assessment
Quality data starts with quality recordings. HearAdvisor worked with GRAS to build a no-compromise front end so every test is repeatable and reliable.
Amplification Analysis
The graph below plots measured insertion gain against prescriptive targets across the frequency range. This visualization shows how closely the Audicus Omni 2 matches established amplification benchmarks for both Initial and Tuned fit conditions.
Audio Samples
We captured these samples using a head-and-torso simulator fitted with the Audicus Omni 2 in controlled acoustic conditions. Listen alongside the unaided reference to hear what our measurement system detected through this device.

Test Documentation
Our technicians documented observations during both Initial and Tuned fit evaluations of this behind-the-ear device. The notes below detail the specific test configuration and any fitting considerations recorded during measurement sessions.
With an open dome configuration out of the box, the Audicus Omni 2 achieves a normalized Initial Score of 4.6/5. Speech in quiet performs strongly at 4.1/5, while speech in noise reaches 2.3/5. Music streaming scores an impressive 4.1/5, and feedback handling is excellent at 4.5/5. Own-voice comfort is solid at 3.0/5. This initial fit delivers strong everyday performance with minimal setup effort.
The tuned configuration maintains an open dome and achieves a normalized Tuned Score of 4.6/5, matching the initial fit. Speech in quiet improves slightly to 4.2/5, while speech in noise and own voice remain unchanged at 2.3/5 and 3.0/5 respectively. Music streaming decreases to 3.6/5, and feedback handling holds steady at an excellent 4.5/5. The minimal change between fits suggests the initial setup already delivers near-optimal performance.
