SOMERSET, NJ October 22 – Oticon, Inc. upgrades Oticon Intent with groundbreaking new connectivity innovations and a new powerful style to ensure patients can engage in life like never before. Expanded modern connectivity with Bluetooth® LE Audio eliminates traditional barriers to Bluetooth set-up, allowing users to instantly pair their Oticon Intent hearing aids with Android™ devices for a world-class streaming experience. The discreet, all-new miniBTE R offers advanced technology and flexible dual fitting levels to fit an even wider range of users. The sleek, compact style adapts to each individual’s unique needs to deliver powerful performance, personalized comfort, and confidence in every moment.

“Powered by advanced, sensor-driven BrainHearing™ technology and second-generation AI sound processing, the upgraded Oticon Intent delivers personalized support and modern future-proof connectivity,” said Virginia Ramachandran, AuD, PhD, Vice President of Audiology for Oticon, Inc. “Now better than ever, Oticon Intent reinforces our commitment to offer a full portfolio of hearing solutions that provide the clarity, comfort, and seamless connectivity patients deserve with no compromises.”

Oticon Intent is designed to consider that different users have very individual and varying listening needs, even in the same sound environment. The world’s first user-intent sensors allow Oticon Intent to recognize when a user’s listening needs change and adapt accordingly, providing greater access to the sounds and speech that will enable users to engage in life like never before.

World’s First Hearing Aid with Fast Pair

Oticon Intent delivers expanded, modern connectivity with Google’s Fast Pair. Users can now pair their hearing aids in seconds to Bluetooth LE Audio-enabled Android devices with just one tap - reducing set up time and minimizing frustration. For hearing care professionals, the simplified connectivity with automatic syncing across devices logged into the same Google account means less time spent on connectivity and more time focusing on patients’ hearing care. Oticon Intent is future-proof and built to embrace emerging technologies like Auracast™ broadcast audio and beyond.

Introducing the world’s smallest miniBTE powerhouse with two fitting levels

The Oticon Intent miniBTE R is packed with user-friendly features, including a rounder design for better comfort behind the ear. The sleek device contains two fitting levels (85 or 105) to enable more patients to be fit with just one device. A powerful size 13 lithium battery allows for a full day* of use without compromising size. Users can accept and end calls with a simple double-tap. A discreet, built-in tone tells when a call has been accepted or ended. The optional pulsing LED light allows users to easily see the hearing aid’s status. A double push-button provides tactile feedback and quick, easy and intuitive hearing aid control.

The new Oticon Intent miniBTE R will be available to US hearing care professionals in November 2025.

Oticon Innovation Continues

In January 2026, Oticon, Inc. will introduce Oticon Zeal™, a new in-the-ear hearing aid style, to the US market. The new hearing aid combines discreet design, cutting-edge connectivity, rechargeability, AI sound processing, and flexible fitting options.
