Which is better for someone who struggles with small buttons?

The Atom X. You change volume and modes on the touchscreen of its charging case, so you do not have to press tiny buttons on the aid.

Is the Atom X worth the extra money?

If easy control and a per-ear fit matter to you, yes. Its rating is higher (4.7 vs 4.0), and its recent prices ran from $233.99 to $389.00. The Atom Pro 2 is the cheaper choice if you mainly want four modes and a sanitizing case.

Which has more listening modes?

The Atom Pro 2 states four listening modes. Audien does not state a mode count for the Atom X, which adjusts modes and volume from its case.

Which charging case does more?

The Atom Pro 2 case holds three extra charges and has a UV sanitation light. The Atom X case has a touchscreen for control but no stated UV light.

The Atom X is shaped smaller for each ear, which should suit more people. The Atom Pro 2 uses a universal fit with several domes, so fit depends on the dome you pick.

Do either need a phone app?

No. The Atom X is controlled from its case touchscreen, and the Atom Pro 2 uses buttons on the aids. Neither requires an app.
