Oticon Own 5 Hearing Aids Overview
🌟 An Introduction to Oticon Own 5 Hearing Aids
Launching in October, Oticon Own is the world’s first custom aid to include onboard Deep Neural Network (DNN) AI technology, powered by the Polaris platform (first seen in Oticon More). This innovative technology allows the hearing aids to recognize and understand a wide range of everyday sounds 🧠, not just speech. Thanks to a network built on 12 million sounds recorded globally, Oticon Own hearing aids are exceptional at delivering a natural and realistic listening experience 🌍.
Why is this important? 🤔 We hear with our brains, not just our ears. Oticon Own hearing aids support the brain’s natural process of hearing, offering a BrainHearing experience that focuses on delivering meaningful sounds with greater balance and clarity 🎶.
The MoreSound Amplifier ensures your soundscape remains balanced, amplifying important details and contrasts for a more dynamic, clearer sound. This approach is different from conventional compression techniques 🔊.
In 2021, Oticon launched the More hearing aids for BTE models, but until now, this advanced technology wasn’t available for ITE wearers. Now, the Oticon Own 5 brings this cutting-edge technology to a new performance level!
👂 Who Should Choose Oticon Own 5 Hearing Aids?
The Oticon Own 5 hearing aids are an entry-level model within the Own range. While they still include BrainHearing technology, you will lose out on some of the core features found in higher-end models like the Oticon Own 1. It’s important to consult an audiologist to understand which features would best suit your unique hearing needs 👂.
If you’re comparing Oticon Own 5 to the Own 1, you’ll find that the 5 model has fewer processing channels, fewer fitting bands, and a reduced percentage in the Spatial Balancer feature. The Own 5 is great for those who need a high-performance hearing aid without requiring all the advanced features of top-tier models 🏆.
🧑🦻 Oticon Own 5 Hearing Aid Fit
As consumers demand more discreet hearing aids, Oticon has focused on miniaturisation since the release of Opn ITE options. The result? Smaller, more discreet ITE hearing aids that provide a comfortable fit for different users 🦻.
For example, the IIC (Invisible-in-the-Canal) model of the Oticon Own 5 is invisible in 9 out of 10 ears (backed by Oticon’s White Papers). This is possible due to the use of smaller components and better software and processing methods 🔬.

🔥 Why Choose Oticon Own 5 Hearing Aids?
The Oticon Own 5 hearing aids are set to compete with other ITE models like Phonak Virto Paradise and Starkey Evolv AI, all priced similarly. So, what sets Oticon Own 5 apart? 🤔 It’s the advanced operating system that leverages DNN and sophisticated AI to provide superior hearing performance. In fact, the latest Oticon models require about 30% less listening effort compared to their predecessors 🎧.
📱 Bluetooth Connectivity of Oticon Own 5 Hearing Aids
As mentioned earlier, Bluetooth connectivity is available only in the ITC and ITE models, while the IIC and CIC styles are non-wireless. With Oticon Own 5, you can enjoy direct streaming to both iPhone and Android devices, along with hands-free calls from your iPhone or iPad 📞.
However, none of the Oticon Own 5 models are rechargeable ⚡. Since only two Bluetooth options offer this feature, you’ll need to decide between size and features. It’s also important to note that you can either have Bluetooth connectivity or Telecoil in these Bluetooth models, but not both. So, choose the features that best match your needs 📲.
I hope this makes the Oticon Own 5 hearing aids sound even more appealing! Let me know if you’d like to add or change anything. 😊
