Phonak Audéo Paradise P90-R - Rechargeable

The Phonak Audeo P90-R definitely deserves a 9 out of 10. I tested the M90-R before. It was already very good as a hearing aid, but the P90-R is even better, in my opinion, especially in terms of Bluetooth: more features and more stable.

Still no 10 out of 10 for the P90-R because the included app (myPhonak 4.0) could be even better: To really use your smartphone as a remote control with that app, which is the intention, the BT-LE connection with that app should be as stable as the regular BT connection with your smartphone. But now you have to switch either BT or your hearing aid off and on again almost every time to connect and use the app. The "retry" function is provided in the app but almost never works.
Also the new "double-tap" function of the P90-R is not yet up to date or at least requires a lot of training, especially if you want to use it with the "Google Assistant".



Oogvoororen.be certainly deserves a 9.5 out of 10. Wide choice, clear and transparent prices and conditions, better than most competitors, and excellent service both at home and remotely, which I of course hope will continue in the coming years.

Yet no 10 out of 10 because their prices in Belgium, for the same hearing aids and the same included service are clearly higher than in the Netherlands (oogvoororen.nl). This would be due to a different "cost structure". Of course you can also buy from them in the Netherlands at the lower price but then you get less from the Belgian mutual health insurance and you have to take care of the administrative formalities yourself.



Finally a real 10 out of 10 for triage audicien Richard Hellings from oogvoororen. Despite the difficult corona circumstances he did everything possible with great flexibility, patience and empathy to make me a satisfied customer. He allowed me a second test period to be able to compare the P90-R, which has now been released, with the previously tested M90-R, which, as said, was also very good, but apparently could still be improved.
