Oticon Hearing Aids
Oticon was founded in 1904 and is considered one of the most successful firms in the industry. Located outside Copenhagen in Denmark, they are the world's second-largest manufacturer of hearing aids.
The company was founded by Hans Demant, who set out over 116 years ago to help his wife, Camilla Louise Demant, with her hearing loss. Passionate about helping his hard of hearing wife, he bought a hearing aid for her after learning that Queen Alexandra of England was wearing one. Hans Demant was fascinated by how this hearing instrument enhanced his wife's hearing.
Oticon's motto, 'People First' continues to inspire the company to do great things. This philosophy informs every piece of research, every Oticon hearing aid, and every feature that it generates.
Oticon Intent™
Facing the daily challenge of hearing conversations in noisy environments can be especially tough for individuals with hearing loss. In these dynamic settings where life unfolds, each person with a hearing aid has unique needs. Unfortunately, traditional hearing aids adopt a ‘one-size-fits-all’ approach, providing a fixed amount of hearing support, regardless of listening needs. This may make listening and engaging with others more difficult. Hearing aids simply haven’t been able to provide personalized support. Until now.
Sensor driven BrainHearing technology uses your movements, the environment, and the conversation around you to recognize what you want and need to listen to, adapting seamlessly to deliver truly personalized support. Letting you stay focused on the moments that matter.
Oticon Real gives you access to the full sound scene so you can stay aware, engaged, and at your best whether you’re at work, dining with friends, or enjoying outdoor activities. Now you can get back the real sounds of life — precise and balanced — with Oticon Real, delivering:
- Technology that supports how the brain naturally processes sounds
- Better access to the full sound scene
- Increased awareness, engagement, and focus in the real world
Hearing Technology from Oticon
BrainHearing
By preserving the natural sound processes in the brain and enabling both ears to work together to identify where the sounds originate, BrainHearing technology helps compensate for the difficulties associated with hearing loss. The technology of BrainHearing helps you focus on the sounds that are around you. Speech is given preference over other sounds to help the wearer discern voices from noise. It is possible to program BrainHearing hearing devices to match personal preferences with individual settings. The result is a more effortless listening experience.
