Oticon is a global hearing aid manufacturer owned by Demant A/S and based in Denmark. U.S. headquarters are in Somerset, N.J. Hearing aids made by OticonOticon manufactures a full line of hearing aid models in all sizes and price ranges. Oticon Intent™The 2024 flagship product is called Oticon Intent™. The Intent combines two technologies—four-dimensional user-intent sensors and an improved deep neural network—to create the world's first hearing aid capable of understanding a user's listening intentions. The user-intent sensors use head and body movement to better identify the user's listening needs, making real-time adjustments to the hearing aid settings. The Intent runs on a new platform, providing the fastest processing speed of all their models and the best sound quality to date. It uses Bluetooth LE technology that is ready for Auracast, the next generation of Bluetooth connectivity. Intent is a behind-the-ear style known as a mini-RITE (Receiver In The Ear). It is compatible with iPhone and select Android devices and it's suitable for mild to profound levels of hearing loss.

Pediatric hearing aidsOticon has long been regarded as a leader in pediatric amplification with the types of hearing aids and accessories needed by children in the classroom and beyond. The Opn Play PX hearing aids have a fast processing speed, which improves the child's ability to understand speech and reduces unwanted noise better. For children with severe or profound hearing loss, Oticon offers the Xceed Play model. Pediatric hearing aid models are available in styles that sit behind the ear. These styles are best for children since they grow and change too quickly to make custom-fit in the ear (ITE) hearing aids practical. In addition to providing multiple fun color options and stickers for personalization, the following kid-friendly features come standard on the pediatric hearing aids:
Super power hearing aidsFor adults with severe or profound hearing loss, Oticon offers the Xceed. Xceed is a super power BTE style with an amplifier that puts out a lot of sound with a size 13 battery, which is a smaller battery than power aids of the past. Other hearing aids made by OticonFor people with single-sided deafness, Oticon also offers a CROS hearing aid. A CROS hearing aid contains a transmitter with a microphone that wirelessly picks up and sends the sound from your poorer ear to the better ear. It is available with a rechargeable battery. Hearing aids for veteransIf you’re a veteran with diagnosed hearing loss, your VHA benefits include Oticon products. For veterans who also have tinnitus, Tinnitus SoundSupport is available in most of their hearing aid styles. Oticon's hearing aids include features like Bluetooth connectivity, telecoil, compact design, and rechargeable batteries. Hearing advocates consider these the four most important features in a hearing aid.
