Four hearing aids, a windy golf course, and a very close finish between Phonak and Oticon. In VLOG 341, Ashley and I head out for nine holes in Flagstaff to try hearing aids in real-world wind—and see whether our golf swings still work. Before we hit the course, join me for a busy morning behind the scenes: website and HearingUp projects, a Platinum Partners conversation about why quality hearing care matters, a discussion about bringing Auracast to the Phoenix Suns' venue, a Phonak content-planning meeting, and brainstorming with Brad Stewart. On the course, I try Phonak EON Sphere, Oticon Reveal, ReSound Sensia, and Signia MaX hearing aids. You'll hear my personal impressions of wind noise, how Phonak and Oticon compare, and my final ranking after the round. These are my impressions from this outing, rather than a controlled laboratory comparison.
