Changing the Game with Advanced Technology & No Compromises: Oticon Zeal™, Oticon Intent™ miniBTE R, and Oticon Verit™ miniRITE T with Zinc-air Batteries

Today, Oticon Inc. expands the Oticon portfolio of hearing solutions available on the Veterans Administration contract with three game-changing introductions that will enable Government Services audiologists to meet the needs and preferences of even more Veterans, US military and Indian Health patients. With Oticon Zeal, the world’s most discreet, complete hearing aid, Oticon introduces a new, ground-breaking category of in-the-ear offerings with no compromise on performance and cosmetics. The rechargeable solution is changing the game, combining discreetness with full functionality to deliver unprecedented connectivity options and personalized audio streaming. Oticon Intent miniBTE R provides the same great sound quality and seamless connectivity of the popular Oticon Intent miniRITE R. The new compact solution is built for flexibility, with two fitting levels to meet a wide range of hearing needs. Both Oticon Intent styles feature breakthrough 4D Sensor-driven technology that uses head and body movements, the environment, and surrounding conversation to recognize when the user’s listening needs change and adapt accordingly. New Oticon Verit miniRITE T meets patient demand for a premium zinc-air battery solution, offering elevated audiological performance and modern connectivity.

“Oticon is committed to becoming the best partner for Government Services audiologists,” said Mike Marcinek, Vice President, General Manager, Oticon Government Services and Pediatrics. “We will continue to introduce game-changing solutions, like the three newest additions to the Oticon portfolio, and to provide the support and services that enable our Government Services partners to provide the best care for their patients. Our approach is collaborative, working together to gain clinic efficiency with reliable products and time-saving fitting processes that deliver high patient satisfaction and success.”

With Oticon Zeal, patients who prefer discreet styles no longer need to sacrifice the benefits of advanced BrainHearing™ technology and second-generation AI sound processing. Oticon Zeal provides the asked-for combination of discreetness and audiological excellence, along with modern connectivity and rechargeability. Users enjoy superior speech clarity in noisy environments and always-on premium AI-driven performance. The innovative encapsulation technology completely encloses the hearing aid body, creating a durable and reliable hearing solution that is built to last. Dome and mold options provide fitting flexibility to meet a range of hearing needs.

The new Oticon Intent miniBTE R style joins the popular Oticon Intent miniRITE R which remains Oticon’s smallest and most discreet rechargeable miniRITE hearing aid. Oticon Intent miniBTE R delivers the same great sound quality of Oticon Intent miniRITE R, with powerful sensors that understand listening intentions, so users can engage in life like never before. The new solution is the world’s first miniBTE R to combine two fitting levels without compromising on size. Fitting level 85 and 105 can be assigned directly in Oticon Genie 2, allowing audiologists the flexibility to fit more patients with one device and fitting flexibility as patients’ hearing needs change.

Oticon Verit introduces a new zinc-air battery solution that gives users on-the-go confidence and always ready convenience of powerful non-rechargeable batteries. The new hearing solution provides access to the latest BrainHearing technology, with second generation Deep Neural Network (DNN 2.0), Wind & Handling Stabilizer and SuddenSound Stabilizer. Oticon Verit supports modern connectivity with Bluetooth® LE Audio to enable direct streaming, high sound quality, battery efficiency and hands-free calling.
