The Range Of Oticon Hearing Aids

By Owen Jones


The process of hearing is very complex, which means that things can go wrong at many junctures. Therefore, there are a variety of types of hearing aids to overcome these different problems this, people have their own preferences for the designs of hearing aid that they would like to wear and then there is the cost issue. Therefore there are at least three factors to be considered before anyone selects a hearing aid.

Three considerations, but it means that there has to be a lot of different choices. Even if you take the basic behind-the-ear (BTE) device, some people will want a brown one, others a white one. Some will want it to be as minute as possible, others will not care too much and some will want the hearing aid built into the frames of a pair of glasses. The range of Oticon hearing aids covers many of the bases.

Oticon hearing aids are manufactured in a wide range of models, styles, and price bands. Some are the very latest cutting edge technology and therefore more expensive while others are simpler and a lot cheaper. It is similar to the scenario with mobile phones, some want the latest handsets that take photos, video and receive the Internet, while others simply want to use it as a telephone.

Two such simpler models in the assortment of Oticon hearing aids are the Oticon Go Pro and the Oticon Atlas. These are relatively simple devices, yet the sound quality is first-rate. They also offer several automatic functions, so that you do not have to fiddle with them to be able to hear well again. They are a good choice for those who are not interested in the technology, they just want to be able to perceive sound again.

There are Oticon hearing aids for all levels of deafness, but most of the models they manufacture will work well for moderate hearing loss. After all, the total loss of hearing is pretty rare. The Oticon Delta fall into this category for mild hearing loss and the Sumo DM caters for those with a more severe hearing impairment. Both of these devices are surprisingly light on their consumption of batteries.

Most hearing aids concentrate on amplifying the frequencies of human speech, but this means that the wearer can miss out on bird song and other natural, background noises. The Safran was intended to amplify these sounds too, so that the sound that the wearer hears is more natural, more like what everybody else hears, while still giving a slight prominence to speech tones though.

If you want sophistication and hi-end technological features, then that is also included in the spectrum of Oticon hearing aids. Check out the Syncro. The Syncro makes use of a chip to sort meaningful sound from background noise and stress it. The Epoch helps the user to discern where the sound is coming from and the Rise can be used with Bluetooth and MP3 players too.

Many Oticon hearing aids are binaural, which means that if you wear two hearing aids, they will interrelate in order to give you a far better sense of hearing and if you suffer from occlusion then try the Tego which was designed to triumph over it.
