Oticon Intent 4D Sensor Technology

Oticon introduces the world’s first hearing aid with 4D Sensor technology to understand each user’s listening intentions and seamlessly support individual listening needs, while giving access to the full sound environment.

Based on their unique BrainHearing™ philosophy, Oticon continuously develops pioneering technology that impacts people’s lives. With the new Oticon Intent™ hearing aid, Oticon takes a giant leap on this journey, by providing individualised support for users within the same complex environment.

4D Sensor technology provides intention-based personalisation

Oticon Intent is designed considering that different users have very individual and greatly varying listening needs – even in the same sound environment. It features the world’s first user-intent sensors which can capture a person’s unique communication goal and then seamlessly provide the brain with the right hearing support in any situation. This personalised support makes a significant difference for users, especially in very complex listening environments, where traditional hearing aids provide the same support, regardless of the individual listening needs.

By monitoring conversation activity, head movement, body movement, and the acoustic environment, Oticon Intent is the first hearing aid in the world to recognise when the user’s needs change and to seamlessly adapt sound processing to support these specific needs, providing the brain with tailored support in any situation. This 4D Sensor technology alone improves users’ speech comprehension by 15%. Furthermore, the outcomes of a brain imaging study showed that the 4D Sensor technology helps users balance their attention towards the sound sources that they intend to listen to.

More new features in Oticon Intent:

Industry-leading sound processing gives access to 35% more speech cues

Higher clarity and better balance is provided by Oticon Intent as a result of the rapid and effective sound processing of MoreSound Intelligence 3.0, with up to 12dB noise suppression. Thanks to this innovative new sound processing, which ultimately provides users with clearer speech, Oticon Intent delivers an astounding 35% more access to speech cues compared to Oticon’s preceding premium hearing aid.

Brand-new Deep Neural Network enabling better access to all sounds

Oticon Intent debuts a second generation Deep Neural Network (DNN 2.0) which has been trained using a greater diversity of complex sound scenes as well as a whole new way of learning from the sound it is exposed to during training. This advanced technology is designed to drive a hearing aid so that it works more like the brain having learned through experience, enabling better and more accurate representation of sound in the brain and better access to even soft speech sounds in noisy environments.

Smart Speaker

Oticon Intent comes with the world’s first self-calibrating speaker to make speaker inaccuracy a thing of the past. 

Future-Proof Connectivity

Oticon Intent supports all modern connectivity standards, including the next generation of Bluetooth® audio; LE Audio Bluetooth. 

New Design & Improved Rechargeability

Oticon Intent boasts a sleek new design, making it the smallest, most discreet rechargeable miniRITE style Oticon has crafted to date, yet it’s packed with both a telecoil and a large battery. The size 13 lithium-ion battery gives users more power between charges and provides faster and more stable charging. It offers 20 hours of battery life when fully charged, including streaming, while a speedy 15-minute charge delivers users 4 hours of battery life. 

The new design also includes touch control for call handling and a single easy-to-use push-button for quick and intuitive hearing aid control.
