Why Choose the Oticon OPN?

According to the Hearing Loss Association of America, around 20% of Americans have experienced some degree of hearing loss. More so, hearing loss increases as adults become older: 30% of those between 65 and 74 are affected, but this rate skyrockets to 50% for those over the age of 75.

After heart disease and arthritis, hearing loss is the third most common physical condition. Simply put, hearing loss is a significant public health issue that can affect the patient’s social skills, cognition, physical health, perceptions of mental acuity, self esteem, familial relationships, susceptibility to dementia, and more. The Oticon OPN is designed to thwart these negative side effects and empower individuals to a less encumbered and more fulfilling life.

What is the Oticon OPN?

The new Oticon OPN is designed on the new Velox™ platform. The Velox platform is a cutting-edge solution that processes sound at an extremely fast speed to effectively remove noise distractions. As a result, this technology allows the users to easily engage in conversations in environments where multiple people are communicating, such as in a busy restaurant.

As an added bonus, the Oticon OPN is iPhone compatible and able to connect to various other mobile devices with a simple touch of your fingertips. As a result, you can easily stream audio directly to your Oticon OPN. This remarkable device also wears the crown as the first hearing device in the world able to connect to the Internet of Things through the “If This Then That” (IFTTT) technology .

Cutting-Edge Technology Explored

Now that you have an overview of the innovative technologies included in the Oticon OPN, the following information explains two of the core technologies that make the device truly life altering.

TwinLink Technology Offers Binaural Processing

As another first-in-the-world advancementt, the Oticon OPN is the first hearing aid to utilize two communication systems in a single device with TwinLink technology. One of the systems intuitively enables near-field magnetic communication that bolsters binaural processing between the ears.

Essentially, this system creates a more natural and robust sound experience in the discreet hearing aid. The other system utilizes 2.4GHz Bluetooth streaming to make the Oticon OPN iPhone compatible as well as compatible with TVs, computers, music players, and much more.

OpenSound Navigator

With the Oticon OPN’s OpenSound Navigator, you will be able to closely follow the sounds and conversations you want to hear and change your attention as you desire. This system quickly scans, analyzes, and reacts to external sounds in your environment over 100 times each second.

The Oticon OPN continually analyzes and balances sounds, while removing unwanted noises between words. Due to this innovation, surrounding sounds are available, but not intrusive, so you can pay special attention to sounds you want to hear. Best of all, this technology works wonders in loud and noisy situations.
