Fit Performance
How the Omni 2 Performed in Initial and Tuned Conditions
The summary below presents measurement outcomes for both fit conditions tested in our lab. Toggle between Initial and Tuned to compare how adjustments affected the Audicus Omni 2's amplification behavior.
In our initial fit testing with open dome coupling, the Audicus Omni 2 achieved a normalized Initial Score of 4.3/5. Speech in quiet performed well at 3.8/5, while speech in noise measured 1.7/5. Music streaming was a particular strength at 4.1/5, indicating strong out-of-box audio quality for phone streaming. Own-voice comfort scored 3.0/5 and feedback handling was excellent at 4.5/5. These results suggest the Omni 2 delivers solid performance with minimal setup required.
What is HearAdvisor's Initial Fit?
The Initial Fit approximates the most likely settings and eartips for a typical moderate hearing loss. Results are measured across the same 72 acoustic scenes in our custom-built lab, then scored on a 5-star scale using an auditory model.
