Do you work hard to follow conversations? Do you know the feeling, sitting around the dinner table, having to work hard to follow the conversation? Perhaps you can hear the person across from you or next to you, but what hap-pens when someone further away says some-thing? If you don’t catch it, the conversation moves on, leaving you behind.

The reason is simple. When you have a hearing loss, fewer sounds reach your brain. To make sense of the sounds, your brain has to work harder to fill in the gaps. This is especially true when sounds come from different directions and when several people are speaking at the same time.

As a consequence, you might even decide to avoid family dinners or visiting friends altogether.

Enjoy better speech understandingOticon Opn™ is proven to give you better speech understanding in noisy environments, with less effort, so you can take part in conversation with-out being left behind. Now you can reclaim those situations that you used to avoid and get back into life.

Get back into the situations you used to avoid

OpenSound Navigator™ Hear better, remember more, with less effort

An exciting new study shows that OpenSound Navigator, the cutting-edge feature in Oticon Opn, improves speech under-standing from 20% to 75% in restaurant-like environments.*

Page 3: The hearing aid that opens up your world€¦ · The reason is simple. When you have a hearing loss, fewer sounds reach your brain. ... the most effective way to get rid of noise

Before Oticon Opn, the most effective way to get rid of noise only allowed you to focus on one sound source at the time, like speech in front of you, while suppressing all other sounds. However, background sounds often include important speech details. When these are not passed on to your brain, you get tired, and it becomes really difficult to follow conversation*.

By reducing sounds coming from around you – speech and noise alike – traditional hearing aids may give you an unnatural listening experience.

Now, with Oticon Opn’s new technology, you can experience the benefits of a hearing aid that opens up your world, so you’re able to listen to more than one person speaking at the same time. Oticon Opn gives your brain access to the relevant sounds around you, and, because it works in har-mony with your brain, it puts you — not your hear-ing aid — in charge of which sounds to focus on.

The result is that you understand speech better, with less effort. It also means that you’ll increase the ability to store and recall information, and you’ll find you can remember more of what people have said to you. This lets you keep up with and join in conversations — even in complex listening environments like a family dinner**.

Do you experience annoying sounds that only you can hear?

Tinnitus has many formsMany people with hearing loss also experience tinnitus. Tinnitus can take many forms, like an annoying buzzing, humming or whistling in your ears. While there is no known cure, it doesn’t have to interfere with your enjoyment of life.

Take control of your tinnitus with Oticon OpnThe Tinnitus SoundSupport™ feature built into Oticon Opn hearing aids can help you take control of your tinnitus by playing a wide range of relief sounds, like white noise or soothing ocean-like sounds. Use the Oticon ON App to discreetly control the sounds in your hearing aids.

You can adjust the sounds until they give the relief you need. What’s more, you can wirelessly stream alternative tinnitus relief options, such as your favourite music, audio books, podcasts, or even relaxation guides.

You don’t hear with your ears, you hear with your brain. That is why you need hearing aids that are fast enough to keep up with the brain.

Oticon Opn with BrainHearing™ technology not only processes sounds exceptionally fast, it scans the environment 100 times per second to give you access to 360° of sound, supporting your brain in its natural way of making sense of sound.
