Genie 2 with Verifit®LINK Delivers Efficient and Accurate Fittings with Single Click

Oticon continues to close another gap to normal hearing for US veterans and active duty military service personnel with the newest Oticon Opn™ Custom hearing aid solutions, now available through the Veterans Affairs Administration, Department of Defense and other federal agencies. With the addition of five new custom styles, including the smallest hearing aid style Oticon has ever produced, the expanded Opn family delivers the revolutionary open sound experience in styles and performance levels to satisfy a wide range of veterans’ hearing needs and preferences. All Opn solutions use BrainHearing™ technology and Opn’s extremely fast and precise technology to support the brain in making sense of sound and enable users to easily identify where sounds are coming from, even in challenging environments.

“The comprehensive Oticon Opn family provides a single source for quality solutions that empower VA audiologists to increase patient success and satisfaction,” says David Horowitz, Director, Oticon Government Services. “Like all Opn hearing aids, Opn Custom hearing aids break through some of the biggest challenges faced by people with hearing loss: understanding speech in noise and handling multiple speakers.”

Zero Compromise on Quality, Reliability, Performance
The variety of Opn Custom styles, functionalities and features combined with Oticon’s groundbreaking open sound experience provide more choice for veterans, especially those who are reluctant to try hearing aids. The custom lineup includes fully-featured styles with outstanding 2.4 GHz low energy Bluetooth® connectivity that offers an array of wireless possibilities. All components are miniaturized to enable more functionality in less space. The result is fewer compromises and more modeling freedom to support a better physical fit and a higher fit rate. The effect and availability of Opn Custom features varies with hearing aid style and prescription.

Efficient, Accurate Fittings with Verifit®LINK
Oticon now brings the VerifitLINK built-in software interface to VA audiologists. With a single click of a button, Genie 2 communicates with the new tool to measure, automatically adjust and verify for a more efficient and accurate fitting. Audiologists maintain full control with the option to fine-tune and verify to further personalize the fitting. Patients experience a more comfortable fitting and optimum hearing aid benefit through a verified fitting. VerifitLINK’s quick verification also helps to free up valuable time for counseling and validation that can further help to reduce return visits.
