My current advantage plan allows one hearing test per year. It also has a co pay or discount on hearing aides. But you must use an approved provider.

I currently use Oticon Opn Minirite that are 8 years old. I just replaced the rechargeable batteries for the second time. Anyway, I'm now retired and can not afford replacements at full price.

If you've used an advantage plan to purchase aides please tell me how your experience was. I've found one in network provider locally who does sell Oticon ( my preference) and if I'm reading things correctly the out of pocket is 50% of the retail. And that i can swing.

It seems all the on line info i can find only covers the flagship models. My OPN Minirite S are 8 years old so it's getting near time to consider an upgrade.

The 2 models I'm referencing in the title are within my budget for prescription aids. But I can't seem to find any comparisons or reviews on these models.

Does anyone have experience with either of these ? I'm sure that they are more advanced than my current hearing aids.

Any help or opinions are appreciated.

Stock up guys

Battery is charging right now, but I got to play a little.

Best surprise is that my V350 batteries fit and function. Though the older batteries use an external charger instead of direct USB-C, I don't need to order a spare

Further testing and playing forthcoming.

I'll need to really work out using the X5 to trigger it along with my It30.

The current sale is what got me to buy it now. All my Godox is purchased through Adorama as the Flashpoint brand, for the ability to have warranty service without foreign shipping. Delivery was free with 2 day shipping

Fun times
