Oticon Increases Processing Power of BrainHearing Technologies
New Hearing Aid Range said to deliver up to 20% better soft speech understanding.
Oticon has introduced a new range of hearing aids and a new chip to power them. The Alta2, Nera2 and Ria2 hearing aids ranges are the latest hearing solutions in the Performance Line families and the first to be powered by Oticon’s new Inium Sense Platform. The new sound processor increases the processing power of Oticon’s proven BrainHearing™ technologies by 30% to deliver the purest possible sound signal for the brain to decode. They say the result is a more natural listening experience with less effort on the part of the user.
Better Soft Speech Intelligibility & A Tinnitus
Oticon have also focused on soft sounds in speech to boost intelligibility, something that Widex have been doing for years. The powerful Inium Sense feedback shield and new aplification rules with Soft Speech Booster gives up to 20% improvement in soft speech understanding and an enhanced ability to hear soft speech against their older hearing aids. This is delivered without turning up the volume, just with new amplification rules for how soft sound is processed . Oticon have also introduced a new Tinnitus feature called Tinnitus SoundSupport™, it is available in select Performance Line solutions to provide a personalized solution for patients living with tinnitus.
Better performance, improved personalization, more satisfaction
Inium Sense introduces a range of next generation BrainHearing technology delivering new benefits to hearing aid users. The new fitting rationale they have come up which has a feature they are calling Soft Speech Booster, improves the audibility of soft sounds. They have also changed the fitting process and options to provide a better, more personalised first-time fit and hopefully less fine-tuning to help along your acceptance and long-term satisfaction.
The integrated Tinnitus SoundSupport with user-friendly fitting software enables practitioners to customize settings to patients’ needs. Built-in ocean and broadband sounds help ease the effects of tinnitus. More sounds can be accessed through a new Oticon Tinnitus App, available for free download on the App Store.
New Styles
The Alta2, Nera2 and Ria2 hearing aids are available in styles and price points to suit a wide range of needs and preferences. Oticon have introduced a new miniRITE style which features a more compact and discreet design with an easy-to-feel push button. As before, all BTE and RITE style devices in the hearing aid families are designed to withstand active lifestyles and are IP58 classified, demonstrating a high degree of water resistance. All in all it looks like Oticon have delivered another outstanding range of hearing aids that we can offer at our hearing aid centre in Swansea and across Wales.
