Oticon Hearing Aids
BrainHearing Technology
With research from their sister institution, Ericksholm, Oticon has developed BrainHearing technology based on the process by which the brain hears. With normal hearing, sound waves enter the ear and are translated into neural signals in the inner ear which are sent to the brain to be processed as sound. Hearing loss muddles sound signals from the outset and by the time they reach the brain, it is difficult for the brain to make sense of the sounds.
Essentially, BrainHearing technology assists the brain with the hearing process. Powered by the fast Inium processing platform, BrainHearing consists of four main features: Spatial Sound, Free Focus, Speech Guard E and YouMatic. Spatial Sound and Free Focus enhance the brain’s ability to sense the direction from which sounds originate and assist wearers in focusing and zooming in on sounds they want to hear. Speech Guard E improves speech recognition, especially in noisy environments and difficult listening situations, such as busy restaurants or in conversation with multiple speakers. YouMatic allows wearers to personalize their listening experience for a natural sound.
