In 2021 Oticon launched an impressive new operating system in their behind-the-ear style hearing aids. Unfortunately for in-the-ear wearers, the new Oticon tech wasn't available in custom-mold styles. Until now.
Finally, in August 2022, Oticon released the latest operating system across a new line of custom styles called Oticon Own.
The most significant innovation in the new Own hearing aids is the use of deep learning to choose which sounds to amplify.
Oticon built its new operating system by capturing over 12M sounds from everyday environments and using deep learning technology to create a sophisticated sound algorithm that sorts out background noise. Deep learning is the same technology that Google and other tech giants use to process millions of data points and get smarter over time.
The result of all this technology is that new Oticon Own hearing aids require 30% less listening effort than previous generations.
Oticon OWN 3 is the third-tier option in the family. Oticon OWN 2 offers 48 programming channels and 8 kHz of gain. OWN 3 does not include some features that enhance live music and has slightly lower speech intelligence. This product will work well for you if you spend the most time in 1-1 settings or at home. If you often travel or spend time with large groups, you may consider OWN 1 or 2.
Note that you can also choose Oticon OWN 4 and 5. These products do not include the most advance features but are available for $2,798 and $2,598, respectively from our care partners.
Pros 👍
- Oticon Own hearing aids are designed for mild to severe hearing loss, making them a versatile option for many users.
- They are available in IIC and CIC sizes, which are discreet and comfortable to wear.
- They include an optional push button or volume wheel, as well as binaural connection between hearing aids to improve directionality, giving users more control over their hearing aids.
- ITC and Full-Shell sizes allow for Bluetooth connection and telehealth programming after an initial appointment.
Cons 👎
- Oticon Own hearing aids are only available through prescription channels, so you'll need to purchase them locally instead of over-the-counter or through telehealth.
- They are a premium-priced product, which may not be affordable for all users.
- Oticon Own does not offer a rechargeable option.
