Oticon More Expert Review

The Oticon More is a premium behind-the-ear prescription hearing aid that earns an A grade with a SoundScore of 4.60/5, placing it in the top 9% of the prescription hearing aid category and ranking #4 out of 35 devices tested.

In our lab testing, the Oticon More demonstrates excellent speech clarity, particularly in quiet environments where it scores 4.6/5—a full 1.17 points above the category average. Speech in noise performance is above the category average by 1.37 points, though at 2.9/5 the absolute score reflects the mixed results typical when listening in challenging acoustic conditions. Own-voice comfort scores a solid 3.1/5, sitting 0.37 points above average.

Feedback handling presents an interesting tradeoff. While the 3.5/5 score is solid in absolute terms, it falls 1.24 points below the category average of 4.74/5. Users who prioritize maximum feedback resistance may want to compare alternatives, though real-world stability should still be acceptable for most wearers. Music streaming scores a solid 3.0/5, edging above the category average by 0.39 points.

At $4,598, the Oticon More competes with other premium devices like the newer Oticon Intent (4.70/5) and Phonak Sphere Infinio (4.64/5). Released in 2021 and recognized with Expert's Choice Awards in both 2023 and 2024, this device offers flexible power options with both rechargeable and disposable batteries, plus streaming compatibility with iPhone and Android devices. It's well-suited for users prioritizing speech intelligibility who want a proven, feature-rich hearing aid from a major manufacturer.
