Same Power, Just Smaller
Oticon recently released an update to it's Inium platform of hearing devices. The designRITE style may remind you of the Oticon Intiga (which was based on the older RISE2 platform). They look virtually the same, however the designRITE is built a little sturdier and uses an upgraded speaker system.
The new designRITE style is available in all of the 'Pro' models on the Inium platform (namely Ria Pro, Nera Pro, and Alta Pro). Unlike the miniRITE style, designRITE uses a size 10 battery and does not have a volume control switch.
Who Needs a Volume Control?
Many people like keeping as much control of their volume is possible -- but is that really necessary? When it comes to the latest hearing devices, including Oticon's Inium products, a volume control isn't necessary. These devices change, by themselves, based on sound changes in your environment. However, these small devices that do not have built-in volume control buttons have small remote control accessories available if you desire both small design and full functionality.
