Summary
In the initial fit condition using closed domes, the Cearvol Wave performed well above the category average with a fit score of 3.22 out of 5. Speech intelligibility scores were strong in both quiet (3.30/5) and noisy (3.20/5) conditions. Music streaming quality was excellent at 4.40/5, and feedback handling was solid at 4.20/5. The main limitation was own-voice comfort at 1.50/5, reflecting the occlusion effects typical of closed dome coupling. The integrated receiver design delivers consistent performance without requiring separate receiver selection.
The tuned fit condition maintained closed dome coupling, resulting in minimal change from the initial fit with a score of 3.18 out of 5—a slight decrease of 0.04 points. Speech scores remained identical at 3.30/5 (quiet) and 3.20/5 (noise). Music streaming improved marginally to 4.50/5, while feedback handling decreased slightly to 3.80/5. Own-voice occlusion remained unchanged at 1.50/5. The consistency between fits suggests the Wave's proprietary default settings are well-optimized for its hardware configuration.
