Oticon Hearing Aids
The first hearing aid, the electric Acousticon hearing device, was released by Oticon in 1904, establishing the company as a hearing aid manufacturer.
A partnership formed with Charles Lehman was the beginning of the American-Danish Oticon Corporation, a leading provider of hearing aids after World War II, and a global hearing aid manufacturer by 1965.
The company released their first ultra-discreet in-the-ear (ITE) hearing device in 1977 and their first digital device offered by Oticon was made public in 1996. Improved sound sensitivity along with streaming and connectivity features were first made available in 2007.
Oticon’s 21st century innovations are centered around their Brain Hearing philosophy which involves designing and building technology that supports how the brain processes sound and speech in order to create meaning from it rather than just amplifying sound.
The Opn technology platform used in today’s Oticon hearing aids is based on the Brain Hearing concept, making it possible for device wearers to distinguish between multiple speakers within a noisy environment. Included with Opn is the capacity for internet connectivity using ConnectClip and the IFTTT (If This Then That) Network.
By applying micro-digital and nano-digital technology innovations to their hearing instruments, Oticon is able to manufacture hearing aids that are increasingly smaller, lighter, and more discrete to wear while also improving sound quality, voice clarity, and instrument performance.
With the streaming capabilities of their devices, Oticon was able to integrate Tinnitus SoundSupport which transmits white noise and other tinnitus masking sounds for auditory relief. Additionally, 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 you require without scheduling an in-office appointment.
