Oticon released the first hearing aid in 1904, the electric Acousticon hearing device, establishing the company as a hearing aid manufacturer.
Charles Lehman joined with Oticon’s founders to create the American-Danish Oticon Corporation, which grew to become a leading producer of hearing aids after World War II and became a global company by 1965.
At the cutting-edge of hearing aid technology in 1977, the company released their first ultra-discreet in-the-ear (ITE) hearing device. By 1996, Oticon began offering its first digital device, following it up with an advanced technology device with enhanced sound sensitivity along with streaming and connectivity in 2007.
The focus of Oticon’s 21st century innovations are centered around their Brain Hearing concept. Brain Hearing involves designing and building technology capable of supporting how the brain processes sound and speech to derive meaning rather than just amplifying sound.
Today’s Oticon hearing aids use the Opn technology platform, which makes it possible for device wearers to distinguish between multiple speakers within a noisy environment. Applying micro-digital and nano-digital technology innovations to their hearing instruments allows Oticon to manufacture increasingly smaller, lighter, and more discreet hearing devices while also enhancing sound quality, voice clarity, and instrument performance.
The Opn platform features internet connectivity using ConnectClip and the IFTTT (If This Then That) Network, making streaming with other digital devices possible. With these streaming capabilities, Oticon was able to integrate Tinnitus SoundSupport, which involves the transmission of white noise and other tinnitus masking sounds into your hearing aids for auditory relief from tinnitus.
Oticon’s Genie fitting and counseling tool assists your hearing care provider with fitting your device and facilitates ongoing counseling and support from a remote location.
