Oticon is the largest hearing aid manufacturer based in Denmark. Oticon is part of the William Dermont Group which includes hearing aid manufacturer Bernafon.
Oticon OPN S Technology
The Oticon Opn S range of hearing runs on the Velox S Platform. The OpenSound Navigator operating system is capable of scanning the sound landscape 56,000 times a second. As it analyses all this information, the OpenSound Navigator then processes speech from all directions while ignoring any unwanted noise signal. The result being that the user can locate and choose to focus on speech from any direction. By contrast, traditional hearing aids try and focus only on speech coming from in front of the user and supress all sound from the sides and behind (directionality).
By opening up the world to the user by allowing 360- hearing, Oticon‚ research concludes that by giving the brain more information to perform, the listening experience is enhanced, listening effort is reduced and speech understanding is improved. Oticon call this Brain Hearing.
The Open Sound Optimiser is a new feedback management feature that removes feedback (whistling) before if occurs allowing the hearing aid to provide more gain and speech audibility.
Oticon OPN S APP
The Oticon On App allows the user to control and adjust their Oticon hearing aids.
The App also allows the user to connect their hearing aids to other devices using the (IFTTT) protocol. For example, a user could get a notification in their hearing aids when the doorbell rings or a text message could be sent to carer when the user turns on their hearing aids.
