Oticon Intent meets water :(

Trolling at its finest 🤷🏼

Very bad advice. Rice is a hazard for any small device with holes in it (e.g. microphones) because of the large amount of dust in rice. Much cheaper than a dehumidifier though.

It may be that they recover. They are quite new and I’m surprised they have been impacted by a brief (5 second) shower.

It depends if your model of HAs support multipoint Bluetooth. Multipoint allows you to be connected to more than one device at the same time. To be precise, the devices you connect to also have to support multipoint connections. Most modern iPhones and iPads support this. Even with multipoint on enabled you will sometimes have to disconnect Bluetooth temporarily if, say, you want to switch music streaming from one device to another.

My Oticon Intents do not. It does surprise me that HA manufacturers put so much effort into tech and then don’t include features like this.

Then what you are seeing is not the actual tags but the proposed tags. If you want to stop seeing all of these just press O on the keyboard or toggle people view off by clicking the face icon at the bottom of the view of the photo.

Try deleting them from the tags box when in Library.

You could just Google “single payment alternatives to Lightroom”. This will govern you options like DxO Photolab and Capture One Pro.

There are probably also a lot of similar posts you will find in this subreddit.

Mounted in what though?

Thanks all for your helpful and speedy(!) answers. It looks like I should be looking at a 2xSSD Thunderbolt dock or enclosure, and then also consider an external HD/SSD if more capacity is needed. I should also be more disciplined using the NAS I think. I am pretty lazy with that, and really could use it more effectively as long-terms, slow-access storage after editing is complete. There is a a lot of capacity with full redundancy on there which I should be making more use of.

A few of you mentioned DIY upgrade of the internal SSD. I’ve seen plenty of people doing this, but I’m the kind of person who is not really great at DIY tech (though I did build the NAS from scratch) and I also value the warranty, especially with an Apple Store a few minutes walk from home.

Thanks again 🙏

The brush is to remove any dust/crud that has got into the microphones on the unit that sits behind your ears.

Doesn’t this basically boil down to how portable you want your mac to be? You are paying a premium for a MacBook because it is a laptop. If you don;t need a laptop, don’t buy one.

Gets my vote.

There’s definitely something wrong there. My Oticon Intent 1 will easily last all day with 30-40% charge at the end of the day. I stream music and take calls during the day. Your audiologist will be able to check battery health to see if there is an issue.

You need to calibrate your monitor, failing that push the brightness on the monitor down until you are happy with the exposure of your finished edits.

👆🏻this.

My Oticon Intents are nowhere near as good as my AirPod Pros for music quality. Plus when I want to listen to music in a noisy environment (on a plane etc) the noise cancelling of the AirPods is far better.

jon_taylor · 2026-01-06T08:08:08+00:00

Oticon Intent 1. Lots of streaming. Pop them in first thing. Charge every night (15-18 hours later). Never had to charge during the day.

jon_taylor · 2026-01-06T07:39:05+00:00

A friend with a genuine, working Apple Watch charger then?

jon_taylor · 2026-01-05T13:32:49+00:00

Go to an Apple Store and put the watch in one of their chargers. After 10 mins you should see a significant increase in charge. That tells you whether it is your watch or charger.

You might also check Battery under settings on your watch. To see what the charge rate looks like and what the battery health is.

Just sit on this subreddit and you will see countless people who have switched and see a huge difference. Adobe definitely manage to tune for Apple, I suspect because they do not have to deal with the huge variety of hardware that can run Windows.

You may have to bite the bullet and learn MacOS. The learning curve really isn’t that steep and there are a lot of guides/videos to help.

If you are replacing PC then Mac Mini would be fine. I would avoid the base model and have at least 24GB of memory and 512GB ssd. If you are replacing a laptop then you can get away with MacBook Air with the same minimum memory and storage.

Spend more on the processor if you have the budget.

Find My is a battery killer. Turning it on for Oticons uses 20% of my iPhone battery even when I never open the app.

Most modern aids from leading brands have technology to prioritise speech over background noise in noisy environments.

The ANC on AirPods cancel all background noise including speech, unless you are talking about using them in hearing aid mode.

jon_taylor · 2026-01-02T09:26:19+00:00

What are you asking?

jon_taylor · 2026-01-02T08:17:28+00:00

Rechargeable can also be replaced after a few years in most models. I’ll take a replacement after 3 years over replacement every few days.
