Celebrate Better Hearing Month with customized hearing technology that incorporates AI and 4D sensors
What if your hearing aids could recognize what you most want to hear? What if it could focus on that while ignoring competing noises?
The latest technology in hearing aids allows you to do just that. This is an important advance for several reasons. First, even people who have untreated hearing loss may become accustomed to it over time. They learn to live with it, unaware that this can negatively impact their overall well-being.
“Treatment for hearing loss not only improves communication for people with hearing loss, but also positively impacts their psychological and physical health,” says Katie, audiologist and senior manager of audiology at Hearing Life Canada. Kobel said.
A new breakthrough product called Oticon Intent™ takes the benefits of treating hearing loss one step further thanks to some truly innovative advances. Featuring the world's first user intent technology in a hearing aid that incorporates the use of 4D sensors*.
Innovative new hearing aids now available understand what you want to hear. They will notice that your listening intent has changed, they will also notice that you are moving, and they will adapt accordingly. The revolutionary 4D sensor includes two stabilization features to handle disruptive noise, so you can enjoy every moment of your day without interruption.
Research shows that our brains function best when we can hear all the sounds around us.
“This new technology is built on Oticon's brain-first approach, which means it's designed to support the brain's natural way of processing sound. Noisy environments Hearing conversations can be difficult for anyone, but it's especially difficult for people with hearing loss. Oticon Intent™'s technology tackles these difficult environments by adding a 4D sensor to help the wearer understand which You can more accurately predict whether you want a sound source to be in the foreground and what needs to remain in the background,” Koebel explains.
Such devices provide truly customized hearing. By wearing these, the wearer can enjoy:
Improved sound clarity Discreet design that blends into your daily life A hearing aid that is comfortable to wear, incorporates a 4D sensor, and is water and dust resistant.
These aids also include long-lasting rechargeable batteries that last up to 20 hours on a single charge. It charges quickly so you can use it whenever you need it. You can also seamlessly connect to your phone, TV, and other devices.
Next generation hearing technology
The latest technology provides wearers with an effortless listening experience. It is designed to adapt and respond to individual needs in real time and is inspired by advances in AI technology.
Made to fit wherever you go. Your hearing aids can seamlessly adjust and lower the volume depending on the noise around you, so you can focus on what matters most, no matter where you are.
Previous hearing aid technology did not respond well to disruptive sounds. Wind, hair, glasses – sounds that many of us don't pay much attention to, but can be extremely annoying and irritating.
Traditional hearing aids also take a “one size fits all” approach, providing a certain amount of hearing support in each environment, Kobel says. What makes this new technology different is the addition of his 4D sensor, which uses the hearing aid wearer's movements, environment, and speech to more accurately predict the sound sources the hearing aid wearer wants to hear. Minimize background sounds without completely blocking them out. “This allows for more tailored support in each situation and adapts to changes in attention needs, such as switching from talking with one person to talking in a group,” says the audiologist. .
A great companion app makes it easy to control and customize your hearing aids. Find it if you misplace it, answer calls, connect to your devices, and chat with your hearing care professional, all in one convenient place.
How the technology works
Suppose you are enjoying a meal at a busy restaurant. Sensors can pick up a variety of sounds, from people talking around you to the clinking of glasses to the sound of food baking in the kitchen. However, unlike other devices, this latest innovative technology can recognize when you are concentrating on a conversation with a friend across the table, so it adjusts your hearing settings accordingly and reduces background noise. Soften and allow conversations to be heard clearly.
As you repeat your activity in different environments, whether walking, sitting, exercising, indoors or outdoors, the sensor keeps adapting to ensure you get the best listening experience in every situation. . It's like having a smart and attentive personal assistant with you all day, always working behind the scenes to make sure you hear exactly what you need.
Oticon Intent™ and other similar hearing aid technologies use advanced sensors to analyze the situation and user intent in real time. We understand your needs and preferences to ensure you receive adaptive hearing support tailored to every moment of your day.
“Hearing aid users using older technology will notice an improved ability to focus on the conversation they want to hear, even in dynamic environments with background noise. It improves connection stability with other devices like your phone or TV, and overall sound clarity,” says Koebel.
