Founded in Denmark back in 1904, Oticon has been helping people hear better for over 120 years. They’re one of the world’s leading hearing aid makers and part of the Demant Group – a global leader in hearing healthcare.
Today, the brand stands proudly as one of the top 3 hearing aid brands worldwide.
What makes Oticon special? They’re the pioneers behind BrainHearing™ technology, which focuses on how our brains actually process sound. Their commitment to both cutting-edge research and designs that put real people first means they’re constantly finding new ways to improve hearing for those who need it most.
But how do you find the perfect Oticon hearing device that suits your lifestyle and requirements?
To help you choose better, in this comprehensive guide, we discuss everything you need to know aboutOticon Hearing Aids—the underlying technology, product range and notable features.
Oticon Hearing Aids: An Overview of Their Technological Features
Let’s discover the major technological elements of Oticon Hearing Aids:
1. Digital Signal Processing
Digital Signal Processing (DSP) is a central component of Oticon devices, enabling advanced sound processing capabilities. The company’s latest devices utilise sophisticated DSP technology, including a Deep Neural Network (DNN) trained on 12 million real-life sound samples.
This allows the Oticon hearing aids to analyse and process sounds better, balancing speech and noise from multiple directions. The devices can recognise and prioritise relevant sounds, enhancing speech understanding by up to 15%.
2. BrainHearing™ Technology
BrainHearing™ technology is Oticon’s unique approach to how hearing aids process sound. It’s designed with your brain in mind, helping you make sense of sounds in a more natural way.
Unlike traditional hearing aids that simply make everything louder, BrainHearing™ works differently. It supports the way your brain naturally processes sound, giving you better clarity while making listening less tiring. This means you can enjoy conversations and everyday sounds without straining to understand what you’re hearing.
By continuously adapting to varying listening conditions, BrainHearing™ helps users engage more naturally with their surroundings. This promotes excellent cognitive health and overall satisfaction with hearing aids.
Key Features of BrainHearing™ Technology:
✅OpenSound Navigator™: This smart feature constantly monitors your surroundings, turning down distracting background noise while making sure you can hear speech clearly from every direction.
✅MoreSound Intelligence™: Using AI and deep learning, this feature helps you hear speech more clearly, even in noisy or complicated listening situations.
✅SpeechGuard™: This preserves the natural flow and rhythm of speech, making it easier for you to tell different voices apart.
✅Spatial Sound Processing: Helps you sense where sounds are coming from, giving you better awareness of your surroundings.
With a natural, well-balanced sound experience, BrainHearing™ takes the strain off your brain. This means you can understand conversations with less effort and enjoy a more comfortable listening experience all day long.
3. AI and Machine Learning
Oticon has integrated artificial intelligence and machine learning into its devices. These analyse the listening environment in real time and automatically adjust the settings. This makes for a more personalised listening experience without any hassle.
4. Connectivity
Many Oticon hearing aids now come with Bluetooth® capability, making them work seamlessly with both iPhones and newer Android devices that have the ASHA protocol.
This means you can enjoy your favourite music, answer phone calls, and adjust your hearing aids right from your smartphone using a simple app. The user-friendly design makes it easy to change settings whenever you need to.
Important note: If you have an older Android phone, you’ll want to check if it has the ASHA protocol. If not, don’t worry—you can still connect by getting an additional neck loop accessory to stream your calls.
