A whitepaper about REM AutoFit. Background on the REM AutoFit with VerifitLINK, as well as details of the IMC 2 compatibility. Results of a test of speed and acuracy for REM AutoFit are described.

A white paper introducing the Oticon CROS product. Background on CROS and candidacy, as well as details of the feature Oticon delivers to the market and why this solution is unique for CROS/BiCROS fittings. Results of a dual-streaming claims test and the impact for users will also be described.

A study at the Örebro University Hospital in Sweden investigated the benefits of in Oticon Xceed and OpenSound Navigator™ (OSN) on speech recognition, listening effort and memory recall in noise for adults with severe-to-profound hearing loss.

This white paper covers the clinical aspects of introducing OpenSound Optimizer for adults and children. Furthermore, the results of two internal investigations into target match with and without the new feature are presented, and finally, a competitor study evaluating sound access, feedback annoyance, and sound quality.

This whitepaper explores the applications and use of ConnectClip. Special attention is given to ConnectClip as a remote microphone system (RMS) for children and adults. Results from the ConnectClip RMS field study with teens and tweens is also discussed.

This whitepaper reports a study performed at VU University medical center in Amsterdam, the Netherlands, which showed that OpenSound Navigator™ on speech improved understanding and reduced listening effort in noise for children with hearing loss.

The smallest hearing aids from Oticon has become even smaller and can fit more ears, actually more than 8 out of 10. This paper describes the improvements made in the design and production to make it possible along with the data we have gathered over a 9 month period to document the improvements.

This whitepaper provides useful knowledge about listening effort in a normal-hearing population and may be used as a reference to studies that investigate listening effort in people with hearing loss.

This whitepaper presents a summary of the clinical research studies investigating the client benefits of the key features introduced in Opn S, namely the OpenSound OptimizerTM and new automatics in the OpenSound Navigator, namely the OSN Booster.

This whitepaper provides very unique new evidence behind the OpenSound Navigator and shows that across a range of noisy environments, people with hearing loss using Opn1 do as well as normal hearing peers in terms of speech understanding and a measure of brain load.

A research study shows that OpenSound Navigator™ improves children’s speech understanding in noisy environments when listeners directly face or face away from the talker, and preserves interfering speech coming from different directions.

Custom instruments in the Opn family on the Velox platform comes with new functionality and benefits. This paper presents how the OpenSound Navigator has been implemented in these devices as well as the evidence we have on the benefits it brings.

Oticon shares openly its innovative vision and roadmap.

This paper describes the new technology implemented in Oticon Opn™, OpenSound Navigator. An overview of the underlying technologies and the new Oticon Genie 2 interface.

The new wind noise management feature in Opn estimates wind noise 500 times/sec. The speed and power available on the Velox platform make it possible for Opn to quickly and sufficiently attenuate wind noise, even between words.

This whitepaper presents a summary of the clinical studies investigating the end-user benefits of the new signal processing introduced in Oticon Opn on cognitive effort, memory recall, and speech recognition performance.

A research study that shows that the benefits of a significantly reduced listening effort with the OpenSound Navigator™ for people with hearing loss applies at least as succesfully for people with tinnitus.

A short guide to best practices when performing real ear measurements in the clinic. The cookbook is based on the most commonly used input signals, hearing aid styles and rationales, and external equipment.

The Velox chip is built for hearing aids and for the advanced digital signal processing used to give hearing aid users the best possible experience with hearing aid technology. This tech paper will describe the Velox chip, its digital signal processing architecture, and the new wireless capabilities in TwinLink™.

Feedback shield LX is the ultimate enabler of OpenSound Navigator, the technology in Opn which allows hearing aid wearers access to more sound in their surroundings while maintaining good speech understanding, recalling more of conversations afterwards, and reducing listening effort.

An introduction to amplification in today’s digital hearing aids and highlights to the strengths of Oticon’s technologies VAC+, Speech Guard, and Soft Speech Booster. These technologies optimize audibility and speech cue preservation in all environments.

As developed by Carisa Reyes, Staff Audiologist at Boys Town National Research Hospital, the bimodal fitting flowchart serves as a guide to clinical audiologists as they navigate the bimodal fitting process. The goal is to provide a logic- and evidence-based method for decision-making, yet keeping in mind the constraints in everyday clinical practice.

Client Target is the Genie 2 fitting software concept designed to help the clinician achieve even more successful first fittings, right from the start. This document explains how the graph view has changed for all rationales in the new Genie 2 fitting software.
