Processing Technology and Features
Oticon’s Brain Hearing concept is an approach used to design and build technology capable of supporting how the brain processes sound and speech to derive meaning rather than simply amplifying sound.
The concept, applied in the company’s OPN technology platform, makes it possible for wearers to distinguish between multiple speakers within a noisy environment while enjoying more natural sound and voice clarity.
With the inclusion of micro-digital and nano-digital technology innovations, Oticon hearing aids are smaller, lighter, and more discreet while continuing to provide increasingly higher levels of processing performance.
