Oticon Hearing Aids
Innovative Danish Hearing Aid Makers
Who Are They
Oticon is one of the top 3 hearing aid manufacturers around today and they are based in Denmark. Their UK head office is in Hamilton Scotland. Oticon is owned by the company William Demant Holdings which also owns the manufacturer Bernafon. This company also owns the retailer Hidden Hearing so if you visit this retailer you are most likely going to be offered a hearing aid manufactured by Oticon.
Oticon is also one of the manufacturers of digital hearing instruments we provide. Oticon was the first Danish manufacturer to have a hearing aid on the market when they produced the Oticon TA in 1947, although they have been in business for over a century. They are also the main supplier of hearing instruments to the NHS. In 2015, Oticon launched their new Inium Sense platform which gives better sound quality and faster processing. Thanks to this technology, Oticon currently have some of the most advanced hearing aids available on the market today.

Opn Hearing Aids
Oticon's Latest Most Advanced Premium Solution
Oticon's Opn hearing aids are truly a groundbreaking hearing device range. They are so small they are practically invisible but they also come in a range of shades and bright colours. 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. They are also water resistant to 1m.
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 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.
Custom Made For iPhone Hearing Aids
Oticon announced in June 2018 that they would be launching in the ear hearing aids on the Opn platform. The devices are expected to be introduced in quarter four 2018. There will be a full range of in the ear hearing aid types in the range, but the two smallest, the CIC and the IIC will not. We will add all the details here when the hearing aids are launched.

Ria2 also has the expanded range of custom (ITE) hearing aids, giving you the full choice of a fitted discreet solution that will hide in your ears.
For a hearing aid to work well, there is much more to think about than simply making sounds louder. This is because of the manner in which we hear, your ears work together to locate where sound is coming from and to help you choose what to listen to. your ears simply pick up sounds and send them to your brain. Which is where you actually hear, your brain translates those sounds into meaning. When you have a hearing loss, you need hearing aids to help you pick up all of the information contained in sounds to be able to send it to the brain.
The more detailed the information your brain receives, the easier it is to identify and understand what you are hearing. The Ria hearing aids offer excellent sound quality and preserve sounds in their natural form to make hearing both easy and realistic. The key to Ria2’s excellent sound quality is the tiny but extremely powerful Inium sound processing chip, the same chip that is used in the premium and mid level aids. This enables Ria2 to process a huge range of different sounds, sending more information of high quality to your brain. This helps you to understand conversations better, even in noisy environments.

The Epoq actually communicate with each other to present a single, balanced picture for your brain to process.
Oticon Hearing AidsWith Epoq as your personal “Sound compass” you won’t be in any doubt as to what sounds are and where they are coming from.
