The lower speech reception thresholds in noise with BCD2 relative to BCD1 can be attributed to the "speech omni" directionality mode of BCD2. The combination of an improved directionality for primarily low-level inputs and a higher maximum force output, relevant for mid- and high-level inputs, results in a clear preference for BCD2 over BCD1.
