Introducing Oticon Intent™

Engage in life like never before with the world’s first user-intent sensors

Explore the world’s first hearing aid with user-intent sensors

Today’s hearing aids understand sound but not the user

Even within the same sound environment, users have different listening needs. Today’s hearing aids understand sound, but not the user. They apply a one-size-fits-all approach to sound processing. But we at Oticon know you can’t treat all users the same way. Only by understanding each user’s listening intention, can we provide truly personalised support - empowering them to engage in life and communicate with ease.

Personalised support with the world’s first user-intent sensors

New BrainHearing™ insights1 reveal that people’s communication behaviour reflects their listening needs and intentions via head and body movements.
With the introduction of our new premium hearing aid Oticon Intent, we incorporate information from head and body movement, conversation activity and the acoustic environment into the world’s first 4D Sensor technology.
This groundbreaking technology seamlessly adapts to the user’s specific listening needs – even within the same sound environment. Oticon Intent helps users move beyond just hearing and listening, helping them to communicate and fully engage in life.

Explore the 4D sensors in Oticon Intent

Acoustic environment

Sensors gather details of the 360º sound scene around the listener as it varies within listening environments and between environments.

Head movement

Sensors monitor if and how the user moves their head to understand the type of communication situation.

Body movement

Physical movement sensors help anticipate the need for increased spatial awareness support.

Conversation activity

Monitoring if there is an active conversation or not informs the system to prioritise speech.
