Processing Technology and Features
The BrainHearing concept is Oticon’s approach to designing and building technology capable of supporting how the brain processes sound and speech to derive meaning rather than just amplifying sound.
The concept applied in OPN platform hearing aids makes it possible for device wearers to distinguish between multiple speakers in an environment with a great deal of background noise while enjoying improved natural sound and voice clarity.
Micro-digital and nano-digital technology innovations utilized in Oticon hearing aids allow for increasingly smaller, lighter, and more discreet devices that don’t sacrifice instrument performance.
Additional Key Features:
Rechargeable options with a lithium-ion battery that holds a full day’s power from a three-hour charge
Two-way hands-free communication for certain iPhones and iPads
Tinnitus SoundSupport integrates sound therapy support to help mitigate tinnitus symptoms
The Genie 2 fitting and counseling tool allows for wearer support from any remote location with an internet connection
