Oticon's Intent series represents a significant advancement in hearing aid technology. This lineup includes four models, each offering a tailored solution for different hearing needs. Let's explore the Oticon Intent lineup to help you make an informed decision that addresses your specific hearing requirements.
The Intent series includes four models, designed to cater to different levels of hearing loss and lifestyle needs:
All Intent models share core technologies that distinguish them in the hearing aid market. They differ in the sophistication and customization of these features.
The groundbreaking technologies common across all Intent models include:
4D Sensor Technology: This feature adapts settings based on your conversational activity, head and body movement, and environmental noise. It aims to improve speech comprehension in dynamic environments.
MoreSound Intelligence 3.0: This advanced sound processing system helps separate speech from background noise, making conversations clearer in challenging listening situations.
Deep Neural Network 2.0 (DNN 2.0): An artificial intelligence system trained on millions of real-life sound scenes to provide a more natural listening experience.
Connectivity: All Intent models offer direct streaming capabilities with iOS and Android devices, improving your ability to engage with technology in your daily life.
Each Intent model offers different levels of customization and performance. Here's a breakdown of the key differences:
The higher the level, the more sophisticated the sound processing, allowing for better speech understanding in complex environments.
More noise suppression means clearer speech in noisy situations, with Intent 1 offering the highest level of noise reduction.
More adjustment bands allow for finer tuning of the hearing aid to match your specific hearing loss pattern.
This feature helps the hearing aid adapt to different sound environments. More configurations mean better adaptability to various listening situations.
The Virtual Outer Ear feature helps recreate natural sound directionality. More configurations allow for better personalization of this feature.
Spatial Sound: All Intent models offer Spatial Sound with 4 estimators, helping you locate and focus on sound sources more effectively.
Wind & Handling Stabilizer: Available across all models, this feature reduces wind noise and improves comfort in outdoor environments.
SuddenSound Stabilizer:
This feature helps manage sudden loud sounds more comfortably, with higher-end models offering more refined control.
Selecting the most suitable Intent model depends on several factors:
Think about the severity and pattern of your hearing loss. If you have more complex hearing needs or severe hearing loss, the Intent 1 or 2 might be more suitable due to their advanced customization options and powerful sound processing capabilities.
Think about your daily activities and environments. If you often find yourself in challenging listening situations like busy restaurants or outdoor events, the higher-end models (Intent 1 or 2) might offer better performance with their advanced noise reduction and adaptability features.
All Intent models offer advanced technology, but there is a price difference between them. Our Audiologists will help you weigh your budget against the features that are most important for your hearing needs to find a solution that works for you.
Professional fitting by an experienced audiologist is key for optimal performance, regardless of which Intent model you choose. At Anywhere Audiology, our Audiologists use Real Ear Measurements to program your hearing aids precisely for your unique hearing profile. This scientific approach to fitting helps you get the most out of your Intent hearing aids, regardless of the model.
Real Ear Measurements involve placing a tiny microphone in your ear canal to measure the actual sound output of the hearing aid. This allows us to verify that the hearing aid is providing the right amount of amplification across all frequencies, tailored specifically to your hearing loss and ear canal acoustics.
