Oticon Hearing Aids

Oticon builds hearing aids around a simple idea: hearing happens in the brain, not the ears. Its BrainHearing approach and on-board deep neural network deliver a remarkably natural, open sound that helps your brain make sense of complex environments. We fit and service the full Oticon lineup.

  • Fitted by Doctors of Audiology
  • Verified with real-ear measurement

Why We Fit Oticon

Oticon takes a distinctive approach to hearing in complex environments. Rather than simply focusing on the loudest or closest voice, its technology is designed to preserve access to the broader sound environment while making speech clearer and reducing unwanted noise.

Oticon has continued to build on this approach with deep neural network processing, sensors that respond to how you’re interacting with your environment, and its newest Dual AI technology, which works to balance clear speech with the surrounding sounds that give a conversation context.

We often consider Oticon for patients who want strong support in complex listening environments and a natural, balanced listening experience.

The Independent-Practice Difference

Unlike manufacturer-owned clinics that can only sell one brand, Sounds of Life is an independent practice. We fit all six major hearing aid brands and recommend Oticon when it's genuinely the best match for your hearing loss, lifestyle, and budget — not because a quota says so. If another brand suits you better, that's what we'll tell you.

Current Oticon Product Families

Model names change with each release cycle, but these are the families we fit and service. We'll match you to the current model and technology tier that fits your needs.

Oticon Reveal miniRITE R rechargeable receiver-in-canal hearing aid

Reveal — Latest Premium Technology

Verit — Traditional Battery Options

For patients who prefer replaceable batteries, Verit brings modern Oticon sound processing and connectivity to both receiver-in-canal and behind-the-ear styles.

  • Replaceable batteries — swap in a fresh one anywhere

Oticon Own SI custom invisible-in-canal hearing aid

Own SI — Custom In-Ear

Custom-made hearing aids designed specifically for your ears. Own SI offers very discreet in-ear options for patients who prioritize size and appearance.

Best for: Patients who prioritize a small, discreet hearing aid made for their ears

  • Custom-made from an impression of your ear
  • Sizes down to very discreet invisible-in-canal styles

Custom fit matters here — we take the ear impression in the office and check comfort and fit carefully when the devices arrive.

Oticon Xceed BTE UP super power behind-the-ear hearing aid

Xceed — Super Power

Powerful behind-the-ear hearing aids designed for severe to profound hearing loss.

Best for: Severe to profound hearing loss

Oticon Play SI miniRITE R pediatric hearing aid

Play SI — Pediatric

Oticon’s current hearing aid family designed for children and teens, with options for different ages, hearing needs, and classroom listening demands.

Best for: Children and teens

  • Designed around children’s listening needs
  • Receiver-in-canal and behind-the-ear styles
  • Works with classroom remote microphone systems

For children, we coordinate with parents and schools so hearing aids and classroom technology work together.

Oticon also offers more basic technology options for patients who don’t need its most advanced processing. We’ll recommend the style and technology that make sense for your hearing and your priorities.

Oticon Technology Levels

Within most Oticon families, 1 is the highest technology level, followed by 2, 3, and 4.

All levels share the core technology of their product family. Higher levels add more sophisticated processing and adaptability, particularly in complex and noisy listening environments.

More technology isn’t automatically better for every person. We recommend a level based on your hearing, the situations that are difficult for you, and whether the additional features are likely to provide meaningful benefit.

When Oticon May Be a Great Fit

Complex Listening Environments

Oticon’s approach is designed to make speech clearer while maintaining access to the surrounding sounds that help you follow conversations in busy, changing environments.

Patients Who Prefer a Natural, Open Sound

Oticon is designed to preserve a broad, balanced sound scene rather than unnecessarily narrowing what you hear — an approach many patients find natural and comfortable.

Outdoor & Windy Environments

Oticon’s wind-noise management is one of its strengths. We especially consider it for people who spend significant time outdoors — walking, golfing, gardening, cycling, or simply having conversations outside.

Severe to Profound Hearing Loss

For patients who need significant amplification, the Xceed family provides powerful behind-the-ear options while maintaining Oticon’s approach to sound processing.

Oticon Questions, Answered

It depends on your hearing loss, lifestyle, and priorities. Oticon excels at natural sound and complex environments; other brands lead on connectivity, health features, or power.
