Oticon Opn 1 Hearing Aid Range
Oticon's latest hearing aid range has been received exceptionally well by both users and the professionals who fit them. People are really speaking highly of the devices and it really seems that Oticon is onto a winner. Let's take a look at what models are currently available in the range and what is the technology inside.
Oticon's Latest Most Advanced Premium Solution
Oticon introduced what they called a new ground breaking hearing device range. The devices were groundbreaking for several reasons, not the least being they were internet enabled and they were Made For iPhone. The internet-enabled Oticon Opn comes with a number of additional features because it can connect to devices via the internet and Bluetooth®. The hearing aids will connect directly to your Smartphone so you can make phone calls and listen to music without any intermediate streaming device.
Oticon
Opn 1 Hearing Aids
The devices can be connected to any device that has a Bluetooth® connection. This means that the hearing aids can also be connected to things like doorbells, appliances, or even baby monitors. Then when the doorbell rings, for example, the person gets a small 'ring' in their ear to let them know. This is pretty cool stuff, but for many people, it is just a nice have, not necessary a need. But like I said, they were probably the least of the groundbreaking features.
20%
Less listening effort – reducing the load on the brain in noisy environments
20%
More capacity to remember – freeing up mental resources, enabling the user to recall more in noisy environments
30%
Better speech understanding – even in the noisiest environments, without suppressing surrounding sounds through narrow directionality
The Opn 1 is the top level technology in the Opn range. All three levels of the Oticon Opn™ family provide the open sound experience that is proving so popular. However, each model gives the brain a different level of assistance – a different level of BrainHearing™ support. This level delivers the best of everything they have to offer.

OpenSound Navigator
Less stress. Remember more. Better hearing.
Oticon Opn™ introduces groundbreaking technology that is fast enough to support the brain. With precision and accuracy, it analyzes the acoustic environment and differentiates between the individual sounds. The result is a significant improvement in the ability to understand speech in complex environments while, at the same time, preserving mental energy – ultimately empowering users to Open Up to the World. Users are provided with more accurate information making it easier to locate and separate sound sources so they can focus on what they find important. This happens so quickly it facilitates the listener’s ability to change focus when desired.
This is the premium hearing aid in Oticon’s range which uses their new Velox Sense processing chip. This range is a completely new way of processing sound and is suitable for more demanding listening environments.
Oticon Opn is available in a compact, newly designed miniRITE that sits discreetly on the ear. Oticon Opn offers a wealth of new features and functionalities all incorporated in a sleek and modern 312 battery-based design. The Opnis available in a range of colours.
Oticon On App
The Oticon ON app lets you adjust volume, switch programs and check the battery level. The app also offers convenient 'find my hearing aid' search feature, counselling advice and links to user instructions. The app is also where the connection to the IFTTT network happens.
A World of Possibilities
Oticon Opn is the world's first hearing aid that connects to the internet via the If This Then That network (IFTTT.com)
If you want your lights to turn on automatically when you switch your hearing aids on or want to be notified by your hearing aids that someone is at your door then these are a few of the limitless possibilities available using ifttt. Oticon has introduced their own recipes that can be easily downloaded, however, it is easy to make new recipes for action.
The Oticon Opn seems to have really caught the imagination of both professionals and users alike. It is a particularly popular aid and the feedback from users is excellent. It seems that the Opn may be a real winner for Oticon.
