Oticon Intent: What if your hearing aids could understand you?
It might not be a surprise to those with hearing loss that research has shown hearing speech in noise is the number one challenge.1 Just think of a busy restaurant or trying to have a conversation over the sound of the television. Traditional hearing aid devices understand sounds, but don’t always understand what you want to listen to. Oticon Intent is a new hearing aid designed to meet this challenge.
How can Oticon Intent understand you?
Our ears detect sound, but it’s our brain that interprets and gives meaning to what we hear. That’s why Oticon creates hearing aids like Oticon Intent, designed to work in harmony with the brain. In conversations, we naturally move our heads to focus on specific voices or engage with multiple speakers. We lean in to catch every word when struggling to hear. Oticon Intent cleverly combines these intuitive movements to understand your listening intentions and provide personalised support in every situation 2.
What are the Feature and Benefits of Oticon Intent?
High-Quality Streaming
With next-generation Bluetooth® connectivity via Bluetooth LE Audio, Oticon Intent delivers easy connection for hands-free calls and direct streaming from compatible devices.3
Effortless Connectivity
Answering phone calls can be a hassle when wearing hearing aids. But with Oticon Intent, you can accept calls with just a double-tap 4 on your hearing aid. This lets you stay connected without interrupting your daily activities.
Discreet Design
Oticon Intent hearing aids are designed to be discreet and unobtrusive, with a small and sleek design that blends seamlessly into your life. You can even choose a colour that matches your hair, skin, and style, making them almost invisible. Plus, they’re built to withstand a little water, so you don’t have to worry about getting caught in the rain.
Long-Lasting Power
With Oticon Intent, you can enjoy up to 20 hours of battery life on a single charge 5. When you need a recharge, simply drop your hearing aids into the desk charger or portable SmartCharger for just 30 minutes to get up to 8 hours of battery life. The SmartCharger even gives you multiple charges on the go, and the lid keeps your hearing aids protected while you’re moving around.
