Own Hearing Aids

Oticon has just released the new Own platform which is their latest custom range of hearing devices. The range offers five different styles, from the very discreet invisible aid to larger Bluetooth-enabled hearing devices. The Own platform is essentially the custom range of Oticon's outstanding More platform. It uses the same Polaris Chipset and is packed with the same technology. It means that users who prefer custom in-the-ear hearing aids now have the opportunity to try the outstanding More technology for themselves.

More Access to Sound

Oticon believes that your brain needs wider access to your surrounding environment to help make sense of it. The original strategy with the Opn did that, it was noticeable to existing users, and it was very successful. The new features introduced with the More platform delivered even more access to your surroundings. The Own devices will now offer you the same outstanding level of sound access that was available with More.

Polaris Chipset

Own will be powered by their newest chipset called Polaris. After scanning and analysing the sound scene 500 times per second to understand the complexity, the device organises the sounds around you to create contrast and balance between sounds. Oticon  says in comparison to the Velox S platform such as:

• 16 times more capacity to execute advanced algorithms
• Intelligent use of industry-leading 64-channel processing
• Twice as much computation capacity and speed
• Deep Neural Network processing
• Double the precision in 1.5-5kHz frequency bands

This jump in processor power allows them to offer in-depth processing and provide a better experience.

12 Million Sound Scenes

Oticon says that they have trained the deep neural network within Own with 12 Million sound scenes so that the hearing aids can make better analysis and processing decisions instantaneously. That should mean a better experience no matter what sound environment you find yourself in.

Two Levels of Technology

The Own devices will be available in five styles across two levels of technology, the premium level Own 1, and the upper mid-level Own 2.

The Devices

As I said, there are five devices available on the Own platform:

• Invisible In Canal (IIC): Very discreet device, size 10 battery, no wireless capabilities, but opitional push button
• Completely In Canal (CIC): Slightly bigger than the IIC, but still discreet, size 10 battery, no wireless capabilities.
• In The Canal (ITC): Slightly bigger than the CIC, still discreet, size 312 battery, Bluetooth enabled with optional pushbutton.
• In The Ear Half Shell (ITE-HS): Bigger than the ITC, covers half the ear, size 312 battery, Bluetooth enabled with optional pushbutton.
• In The Ear Full Shell (ITE-FS): The biggest of the custom devices, size 312 battery, Bluetooth enabled with optional pushbutton.

More Hearing Aids

Oticon has just released the new More platform, initially, the More was only available in just one rechargeable model across three technology levels. However, they have now introduced a new battery powered model with a telecoil. The devices are internet-enabled and Bluetooth enabled, both Made For iPhone and Made For Android. Oticon has made the More even better with new and upgraded features which build upon the original.

More Access to Sound

Oticon believes that your brain needs wider access to your surrounding environment to help make sense of it. The original strategy with the Opn did that, it was noticeable to existing users, and it was very successful. The new features in the More deliver even more access to your surroundings. To handle that, and still give you the speech understanding that you need, they have upgraded the computer brain of the hearing aids.

New Chipset

More will be powered by a brand new chipset they are calling Polaris. After scanning and analysing the sound scene 500 times per second to understand the complexity, the device organises the sounds around you to create contrast and balance between sounds. Oticon  says in comparison to the Velox S platform such as:

• 16 times more capacity to execute advanced algorithms
• Intelligent use of industry-leading 64-channel processing
• Twice as much computation capacity and speed
• Deep Neural Network processing
• Double the precision in 1.5-5kHz frequency bands

This jump in processor power allows them to offer more in-depth processing and provide a better experience.

12 Million Sound Scenes

Oticon says that they have trained the deep neural network within More with 12 Million sound scenes so that the hearing aids can make better analysis and processing decisions instantaneously. That should mean a better experience no matter what sound environment you find yourself in.

Three Levels of Technology

The More rechargeable hearing aid and the new mini-RITE-T will be available in three levels of technology, the More 1, the More 2 and the More 3.

Opn Xceed Hearing Aids

Oticon introduced the Xceed range of hearing aids in August 2019. The Oticon Xceed range is built on the new Velox S platform that powers Opn S. They are the first power hearing aids from Oticon that offer their outstanding OpenSound Navigator (OSN), which they say offers more access to speech with less effort, and their new OpenSound Optimizer which helps to deliver more amplification without whistling.

Oticon Xceed Prices

The Oticon Xceed range is available at prices from £1100.00 to £1700.00 per hearing aid.

Technology

With 146 dB SPL and 87 dB full-on gain, Xceed and Xceed Play are the world's most powerful hearing aids. The addition of the underlying OSN technology will give people with severe to profound hearing loss the opportunity to assess how it works for them.  The OSN technology by Oticon is said to work “ultra-fast to constantly analyze, prioritize, and preserve speech from all directions while significantly reducing noise.”

Results from an independent study show that OSN technology in Xceed improves speech clarity by 10%, reduces listening effort by 10%, and increases short-term recall by 15% for patients with severe-to-profound hearing loss.1. Xceed Play with OSN provides up to 20% more speech cues for children with severe-to-profound hearing loss, without the high risk of feedback.2. When extra help is needed, patients can activate OpenSound Booster using the Oticon ON App.

The Xceed range is available in three levels of technology with the 1 being the top of the range, the 2 mid-range and the 3 the entry level. The OSN and the OpenSound Booster is not available with the 3 level of technology.

Made For iPhone Power Hearing Aids

The Xceed Power hearing aids join a very exclusive group of direct connection Made For iPhone power hearing aids. They will enable power users to connect directly to an iPhone® and connect to any modern smartphone via the ConnectClip to stream sound hands-free to both ears. With the Oticon ON App, patients can regulate volume, change programs, or simply turn off their hearing aids with complete discretion.

The Models

The Xceed range consists of two traditional Behind The Ear hearing aid models, a smaller Super Power device and a larger Ultra Power device. Both of them have telecoils onboard, IP68-certification for water and dust resistance,  and push buttons for easy control.
