Oticon Ruby offers the best sound quality in Oticon's essential category and introduces new features like the SuperShield feedback management system.
So let's take a look at the features.
The SuperShield feedback management system in the Ruby 1 model prevents whistling before it occurs. This makes it more comfortable hearing aid experience.
We have an article here on feedback and whistling.
Feedback/whistling is the sound which travels back through the microphone to the receivers and repeats over and over again in a feedback loop. And it is one of the most common complaints hearing aids users report is the dreaded whistle.
Oticon Ruby brings reliable inductive charging to Oticon’s essential category.
The super-fast charger can fully charge the hearing aids in three hours or provide an additional six hours of power with a 30-minute charge.
Lithium-ion battery performance varies depending on hearing loss, lifestyle and streaming behaviour.
