Fit Conditions
Oticon More Initial and Tuned Fit Results
We measured this hearing aid in both its Initial fit condition and after professional Tuned adjustments. The summaries below detail how each configuration performed across our testing protocol.
In initial fit testing with a closed vented dome, the Oticon More achieved a normalized score of 4.6/5. Speech in quiet performed strongly at 4.2/5, while speech in noise reached 2.3/5. Feedback handling was excellent at 5.0/5, indicating stable performance with minimal adjustment needed out of the box. Own-voice comfort scored 3.1/5 and music streaming 3.0/5. This initial configuration delivers strong everyday performance with particularly reliable feedback stability, making it accessible for users seeking good sound quality with minimal fitting complexity.
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.
