PROS: The Oticon Ria2 hearing aid family offers high performance at an affordable cost. The hearing device provides great sound quality and the ability to pair with technology that in the past was limited to top of the range devices. The Oticon Ria2 Pro comes in a full range of styles as pictured below, covering small invisible-in-the-canal size all the way to powerful behind-the-ear devices. All of these styles are compatible with the Oticon Connectline streamer. The Connectline Bluetooth streamer allows the hearing devices to connect to mobile phones, landline phones, TV signals and various other technologies with just the push of a button.
CONS: The Oticon Ria2 hearing aid does not have some of the noise reduction features present in higher end devices, therefore it may be harder for the wearer to focus on some voices in very challenging listening environments.
OVERALL rating (out of 5 stars): 3.5/5
