- So far no problem with the phone function but the conversation in noisy environments is hopeless.
- The overall sound quality is absolutely abysmal in everyday situations.
- There was no discernible difference with the upgrade.
- Each year they need to be sent in for repair, or replacement.
- I feel my aids rank very high in reliability.
- In 4 years, I can count all my problems of any sort on one hand.
- The remote control is outstanding – the best over all I have seen.
- The ability to store new settings within a basic adjustment range is wonderful as is the sound sharpening feature.
Consumeradvocate.org Reviews
Consumersadvocate.org received more positive reviews for Unitron but were only based from 7 reviews, with an overall rating of 3.5/5 and ranked as Very Good. They scored highest for their reputation 4/5 but lowest for their product offerings 3/5. Consumer comments included:
- I would not recommend these hearing aids , they will not hold a charge!
- I can only get about five hours of hearing from them.
- Frankly the best performing for me were my previous Moxi 20s which had no Bluetooth features.
- Seems the more features added above and beyond hearing processing abilities are of limited value for most users and add to cost and potential malfunctions.
