Advances in Hearing Aid Technology

Brain Hearing Technology Supporting the Brain

It’s our brain that hears, not our ears. Our ears and brain form an intricate system that works in tandem together. Our ears funnel information into the hearing system and our brain processes the information into sound and meaning. The exclusive BrainHearing™ technology of the Oticon hearing aid brand helps you:

  • Pinpoint the sounds that you wish to hear
  • Understand speech with less hearing effort
  • Enjoy a more dynamic and natural soundscape
  • Help shift your attention from hearing one sound to another

Sound travels from your ears to your brain's hearing center, where there are two subsystems: The orient subsystem and the focus subsystem. These constantly work together to help you understand the sound scene around you.

1: The orient subsystem constantly scans your surroundings to create a full overview of the sound scene.

2: The focus subsystem helps you select which sounds to listen to and which sounds to switch your attention to—while the irrelevant sounds are filtered out.

From here, sound is used by other brain centers including for memory and emotions.

Oticon Hearing Aid with intelligent microchip to use a groundbreaking new technology: a Deep Neural Network (DNN). This mimics how the brain works and has learned to recognize all kinds of sounds in fine detail – so it knows how they should ideally sound.

Moresound Intelligence™
A Quantum Leap in Sound Scene Processing

Representing the pinnacle in hearing aid technology, Oticon More hearing aids are armed with MoreSound Intelligence™, which effectively captures and optimizes sounds. This provides the benefit of hearing a more complete sound scene, where individual sounds stand out in clear contrast to each other.

Deep Neural Network (DNN)

The intelligent DNN in our hearing aid is designed to successfully mimic the human brain. It handles sounds based on the experience and training it has received. This means that Oticon More brand of hearing aids have the ability to make sounds more distinct, and work seamlessly across various surrounding environments. Oticon More is programmed to differentiate all types of sounds, their details, and how they should ideally sound – all in order to optimally assist the human brain. The DNN in Oticon More our hearing aid is so much more than just a standard Artificial Intelligence software, rather it is a unique and dedicated hearing aid solution, developed for use in daily life.
