Oticon whitepapers

This white paper covers the clinical aspects of introducing OpenSound Optimizer for adults and children. Furthermore, the results of two internal investigations into target match with and without the new feature are presented, and finally, a competitor study evaluating sound access, feedback annoyance, and sound quality.

This whitepaper presents a summary of the clinical research studies investigating the client benefits of the key features introduced in Opn S, namely the OpenSound OptimizerTM and new automatics in the OpenSound Navigator, namely the OSN Booster.

The smallest hearing aids from Oticon has become even smaller and can fit more ears, actually more than 8 out of 10. This paper describes the improvements made in the design and production to make it possible along with the data we have gathered over a 9 month period to document the improvements.

Custom instruments in the Opn family on the Velox platform comes with new functionality and benefits. This paper presents how the OpenSound Navigator has been implemented in these devices as well as the evidence we have on the benefits it brings.

This whitepaper provides very unique new evidence behind the OpenSound Navigator and shows that across a range of noisy environments, people with hearing loss using Opn1 do as well as normal hearing peers in terms of speech understanding and a measure of brain load.

This whitepaper describes how HearingFitness tracks hearing aid use and provides insights to optimize health based on big data analytics that combine lifestyle and healthcare data with local sound environment analysis.

This whitepaper provides useful knowledge about listening effort in a normal-hearing population and may be used as a reference to studies that investigate listening effort in people with hearing loss.

This whitepaper presents a summary of the clinical studies investigating the end-user benefits of the new signal processing introduced in Oticon Opn on cognitive effort, memory recall, and speech recognition performance.

This paper describes the new technology implemented in Oticon Opn™, OpenSound Navigator. An overview of the underlying technologies and the new Oticon Genie 2 interface.

The new wind noise management feature in Opn estimates wind noise 500 times/sec. The speed and power available on the Velox platform make it possible for Opn to quickly and sufficiently attenuate wind noise, even between words.

Feedback shield LX is the ultimate enabler of OpenSound Navigator, the technology in Opn which allows hearing aid wearers access to more sound in their surroundings while maintaining good speech understanding, recalling more of conversations afterwards, and reducing listening effort.

The Velox chip is built for hearing aids and for the advanced digital signal processing used to give hearing aid users the best possible experience with hearing aid technology. This tech paper will describe the Velox chip, its digital signal processing architecture, and the new wireless capabilities in TwinLink™.

This paper describes the new extended input range provided by Clear Dynamics and the benefits this may provide users in loud environments with speech or listening to music. How widening the input range affects the demands on the handling of comfortrelated features like Transient Noise Management and maximum power output (MPO) is also described.

A short guide to best practices when performing real ear measurements in the clinic. The cookbook is based on the most commonly used input signals, hearing aid styles and rationales, and external equipment.

Client Target is the Genie 2 fitting software concept designed to help the clinician achieve even more successful first fittings, right from the start. This document explains how the graph view has changed for all rationales in the new Genie 2 fitting software.

An introduction to amplification in today’s digital hearing aids and highlights to the strengths of Oticon’s technologies VAC+, Speech Guard, and Soft Speech Booster. These technologies optimize audibility and speech cue preservation in all environments.

This paper describes the new extended input range provided by Clear Dynamics and the benefits this may provide users in loud environments with speech or listening to music.
