Processing Technology and Key Features
The Brain Hearing concept is Oticon’s approach to developing technology capable of supporting how the brain processes sound and speech rather than simply amplifying sound.
In the company’s OPN platform, brain hearing technology makes it possible for device wearers to distinguish between multiple speakers within a noisy environment, as well as more natural sound and improved voice clarity.
Using micro-digital and nano-digital technology innovations, Oticon hearing aids deliver powerful performance while being smaller, lighter, and more discreet.

Additional Key Features
- Lithium-ion battery for a full day’s operating power from a three hour charge
- Two-way hands-free communication for certain iPhones and iPads
- Integrated Tinnitus SoundSupport to help manage tinnitus symptoms
- Genie fitting and counseling tool for enhanced wearer support from any remote location
