Introduction to Oticon Own 1 Hearing Aids

Launched in October 2022, the Oticon Own 1 hearing aids are the first custom in-the-ear (ITE) models to incorporate Deep Neural Network (DNN) AI powered by the Polaris platform. This advanced technology processes everyday sounds with remarkable precision, enhancing both speech clarity and the awareness of environmental details. The MoreSound Amplifier optimizes sound to provide a natural, balanced listening experience.

The Oticon Own 1 range is designed for those who seek both discretion and advanced sound processing. Available in various discreet styles, including Invisible-in-the-Canal (IIC) options, these custom-moulded devices ensure comfort and superior discretion. Although not rechargeable, certain models come with Bluetooth connectivity for direct streaming from iPhone and Android devices.

Key Features of Oticon Own 1 Hearing Aids 🧠🔊

1. Artificial Intelligence & Deep Neural Network (DNN):
   The Oticon Own 1 features AI-powered processing based on a DNN that has been trained on 12 million real-world sounds. This allows the hearing aid to understand and prioritize important sounds, including speech, ensuring a more natural auditory experience. This BrainHearing technology supports the brain’s natural way of hearing, improving listening comfort and clarity.
2. MoreSound Amplifier:
   The MoreSound Amplifier delivers a balanced soundscape by ensuring that amplification retains important details and sound contrasts. This approach to amplification is different from conventional hearing aid compression, allowing for clearer and more precise sound quality.
3. Spatial Sound:
   This feature enhances the wearer’s awareness of surrounding sounds, allowing them to focus on important sounds, like conversation, while still perceiving environmental cues. Directional strategies are designed to maintain speech clarity while providing a more nuanced auditory experience.
4. Advanced Sound Processing:
   The Oticon Own 1 includes 64 channels and up to 10 kHz of gain, making it ideal for users with mild to severe hearing loss. This extensive sound processing ensures precise amplification, making it a good fit for individuals who spend time in social settings or environments with varied noise levels.

Fit and Design of Oticon Own 1 Hearing Aids 👂💨

The Oticon Own 1 offers a customized fit tailored to each wearer’s unique ear shape and ear canal characteristics, ensuring the best possible fit and comfort. The range includes smaller, discreet ITE models, including the Invisible-in-the-Canal (IIC) option, which is invisible in 9 out of 10 ears. Oticon has focused on miniaturization, resulting in smaller, less visible components, without compromising on sound quality.
