Oticon

For over a century, Oticon has been more than just a manufacturer of medical devices; it has been a champion for human connection.

Founded on a foundation of care and propelled by world-first technology, Oticon continues to redefine what it means to not just hear better, but live better.

A Heritage of Care

Oticon’s story began in 1904, when Hans Demant sought to help his wife, Camilla, who lived with significant hearing loss. This "People First" mission has guided the company ever since.

From releasing the first digital hearing aid in 1995 to establishing the Eriksholm Research Centre, the only independent facility of its kind, Oticon has remained dedicated to the science of how we truly experience sound.

Your Ears Do the Hearing, but Your Brain Does the Listening

While traditional hearing aids focus on "narrowing" sound to what is directly in front of you, Oticon believes your brain deserves more. BrainHearing™ is built on the scientific fact that you hear with your ears, but you listen with your brain.

• Deep Neural Network (DNN) 2.0: Oticon’s latest devices (like the Oticon Intent) use an advanced AI trained on 12 million real-life sound scenes. This allows the device to recognize the difference between a friend’s voice and the clinking of silverware, balancing the environment naturally.

• 4D Sensor Technology: This is a world-first innovation that tracks your head and body movements. If you turn toward a speaker, the hearing aid recognizes your "intent" to listen and automatically prioritizes that person’s voice while keeping the background audible but comfortable.

• 360 Degree Soundscape: Rather than cutting off the world around you, Oticon provides a full, open sound scene, which reduces the mental effort required to listen, preventing the "brain fatigue" often felt by hearing aid users at the end of the day.
