New 4D user-intent sensors fuel the sound processing in Oticon Intent

Oticon Intent expands on the possibilities of industry-leading MoreSound technologies. With the world’s first user-intent sensors and the new Deep Neural Network (DNN) 2.0, MoreSound Intelligence™ 3.0 provides personalised help based on the situation and the listener’s intention.

This, together with significant improvement to the MoreSound Amplifier™ 3.0 and the purpose-built, brand-new Sirius™ platform, enables us to take our BrainHearing™ technologies to the next level.

Personalised support with the world’s first user-intent sensors

New BrainHearing insights* reveal that people’s communication behaviour reflects their listening needs and intentions via head and body movements.

With the introduction of our new premium hearing aid Oticon Intent, we incorporate information from head and body movement, conversation activity and the acoustic environment into the world’s first 4D Sensor technology.

This groundbreaking technology seamlessly adapts to the user’s specific listening needs – even within the same sound environment. Oticon Intent helps users move beyond just hearing and listening, helping them to communicate and fully engage in life.

The full sound environment in higher clarity and better balance than ever

MoreSound Intelligence 3.0 is a groundbreaking technology that makes it easier for users to enjoy, follow and engage in conversations. It comprehensively scans and precisely analyzes the sound scene. Then it organizes the sounds around the user and utilizes the brand new on‑board DNN 2.0 to process and create contrast among the identified sounds.

New MSI 3.0 brings users the full sound scene in much higher clarity and balance in any situation than ever before. And what’s more, thanks to the 4D sensors, it seamlessly adapts to the user’s specific listening needs delivering personalised support based on the situation and the user’s intention, for significantly improved speech comprehension.

The brand new Deep Neural Network

With Oticon Intent, we debut a brand-new, second-generation DNN 2.0 that delivers better sound quality, clearer speech, and more efficient noise suppression.

This advanced technology drives a hearing aid that works more like the brain, because it has learned through experience. This enables better and more accurate representation of sound in the brain and better access to sounds all around the hearing aid user.*

  • Trained on an even greater diversity of sound samples, where most are challenging and complex
  • Higher demands on the performance of the DNN in the training phase
  • Improved preservation of the original sound, resulting in less loss of cues for both speech and noise
  • Suppression of unwanted sounds by up to 12 dB in complex environments – 2 dB more than previously

New MoreSound Amplifier 3.0 expands access to sound

Our new MoreSound Amplifier 3.0 gives users precise and balanced amplification over a frequency range spanning from 80 Hz and all the way up to 10,000 Hz. The user experiences a fuller sound scene with a richer representation of the environment.

With cleaner and clearer sound input from MoreSound Intelligence 3.0, MoreSound Amplifier 3.0 has a unique starting point for amplifying a whole range of sounds according to the needs of each user. This ensures MoreSound Amplifier 3.0 can provide all meaningful sounds in the full frequency range for all available fitting rationales.

MoreSound Optimizer™ maximises listening comfort by preventing feedback before it even occurs

MoreSound Optimizer proactively detects and prevents feedback without sacrificing gain. This unique and patented Spectro Temporal Modulation technology creates a breaker-signal that stops audible feedback before it happens. It’s instrumental in preventing invisible gain drops and providing optimal gain all day – so that the gain prescribed is the gain given. This gives users improved access to speech details with more natural sound, increased comfort, and improved speech understanding* — even in the most dynamic environments.

Innovative features protect users from disruptive sounds in everyday life

More than 7 out of 10 hearing aid users are challenged by disruptive sounds in their everyday lives*. That’s why Oticon Intent comes with two innovative features designed to protect users from disruptive sounds while giving them full access to meaningful sounds – helping them engage in life fully.
