Oticon Hearing Aids
The electric Acousticon hearing device, released by Oticon in 1904, was the first hearing aid ever produced, establishing the company as a hearing aid manufacturer. After forming a partnership with Charles Lehman, the American-Danish Oticon Corporation became a leading provider of hearing aids after World War II and a global hearing aid manufacturer by 1965.
The company’s first ultra-discreet in-the-ear (ITE) hearing device was released to the public in 1977, while Oticon’s first digital device was first sold in 1996. Oticon led the way in improving sound sensitivity and introduced streaming and connectivity features into their hearing aids in 2007.
Hearing Technology Solutions from Oticon
Innovations in the 21st century are centered around what Oticon refers to as “Brain Hearing,” which involves designing and building technology that supports the way your brain processes sound and speech in order to create meaning rather than simply amplifying sound.
Their Opn technology platform is based on the Brain Hearing concept, providing device wearers with the capacity to distinguish between multiple speakers within a noisy environment. Connectivity on the Opn platform uses ConnectClip and the IFTTT (If This Then That) Network.
Micro-digital and nano-digital technology innovations are included in Oticon’s hearing instruments, allowing them to produce smaller, lighter, and more discreet hearing aids without sacrificing sound quality, voice clarity, and instrument performance.
Combining streaming with smartphone connectivity allows Oticon devices to integrate Tinnitus SoundSupport, which transmits white noise and other tinnitus masking sounds. Oticon’s Genie fitting and counseling tool makes it easier for your hearing care provider to fit your device and provide the necessary ongoing counseling and support without scheduling an in-office appointment.
Patient-Focused Hearing Aid Repair at Acadian Hearing
Oticon hearing aids provide a better hearing solution for those who need a little extra help with their hearing challenges, which is why Acadian Hearing supports those who use Oticon devices with troubleshooting, maintenance, and repair for hearing instruments from other manufacturers, like Persona, Phonak, and Starkey.
The personalized care our doctors of audiology provide is one of the many advantages of choosing a professional audiologist for hearing care rather than purchasing your hearing aids from a hearing aid dispenser, online, or over the counter in a big box store.
