The Oticon Intent represents significant progress in hearing aid technology through its advanced 4D user-intent sensors and the new Sirius platform. This technology adapts to your listening needs automatically and seamlessly, providing support exactly when you need it.
Built on decades of research and development, the Oticon Intent introduces a new way of processing sound that goes beyond traditional hearing aid capabilities. The system understands not just the sounds in your environment, but your intentions and behaviors as well. This means when you're in a restaurant talking with friends, walking in a park, or watching television at home, your hearing aids recognize these situations and adjust accordingly without requiring manual changes.
The integration of machine learning technology, trained on millions of real-world sound samples, allows the Intent to process sound in a way that mirrors natural hearing. With the ability to perform over 7,700 million operations per second, these hearing aids can separate speech from background noise with remarkable precision, making conversations clearer even in challenging listening environments. This processing power, combined with the self-calibrating speaker units, delivers sound that feels natural and comfortable throughout your day.
Understanding the Technology
At the heart of the Oticon Intent lies its innovative 4D user-intent sensor technology, which creates a sophisticated understanding of your listening environment. These advanced sensors continuously monitor your conversation activity, head movement, body movement, and the acoustic environment around you. By analyzing these factors together, the hearing aids create a complete picture of your listening situation and automatically adjust to provide the right amount of support. Whether you're engaged in an intimate conversation or walking through a busy street, the Intent recognizes your needs and responds appropriately.
The Power of the Sirius Platform
The Sirius platform serves as the technological foundation of the Oticon Intent, featuring the advanced Deep Neural Network 2.0 (DNN 2.0). This sophisticated system draws upon extensive training with real-world sound samples to deliver exceptional hearing performance. Through this platform, the Intent preserves the natural quality of sounds while effectively reducing background noise and enhancing speech clarity. The system also incorporates Bluetooth LE Audio connectivity, allowing seamless integration with your favorite devices. This combination of features creates a listening experience that feels natural and effortless across different environments and activities.
Advanced Sound Processing
The self-calibrating miniFit Detect speaker units in Oticon Intent deliver precise amplification across a wide frequency range. With coverage from 80 Hz to 10,000 Hz and processing across 24 frequency channels, users experience detailed sound representation that can be fine-tuned to their specific hearing needs.
Model Options and Personalization
We offer various Oticon Intent models to match different preferences and hearing needs. This includes the newest miniRITE style, which stands out as the smallest rechargeable option in the lineup. Each model maintains the advanced features while providing different wearing options to suit your lifestyle and comfort preferences.
Modern Connectivity Features
The Oticon Intent brings your hearing aids into the modern digital world through its advanced Bluetooth LE Audio connectivity. This technology transforms your hearing aids into wireless earphones, allowing you to stream audio directly from your smartphone and other compatible devices. You can answer phone calls with clarity, enjoy your favorite music with rich sound quality, and watch television at a comfortable volume for everyone in the room. The direct streaming capability eliminates the need for additional accessories or intermediary devices, making it simple to stay connected throughout your day. This seamless integration with your daily technology helps you remain engaged and active in both your personal and professional life.
Smart Technology and Updates
One of the most valuable aspects of Oticon Intent is its ability to receive wireless updates. This feature ensures that your hearing aids can continue to improve over time, incorporating new features and improvements as they become available.
Battery Life and Charging
The Oticon Intent comes with reliable rechargeable technology that provides all-day power. A quick charge option gives users additional flexibility when needed. The charging system is designed to be simple and intuitive, making daily maintenance effortless.
Environmental Adaptation
The hearing aids' ability to adapt to different environments makes them particularly effective for active lifestyles. Whether you're in a quiet office, busy restaurant, or outdoor setting, the Intent automatically adjusts its settings to provide optimal hearing support.
Real-World Performance
The 4D user-intent sensors in the Oticon Intent create a listening experience that mirrors natural hearing. These sensors constantly work in the background, analyzing your environment in real-time and making subtle adjustments as you move through your day. When you shift from a quiet office to a busy coffee shop, the Intent responds by seamlessly adjusting its settings to match your new environment. The technology recognizes when you need to focus on speech, such as during a conversation with friends, or when you need to be more aware of your surroundings, like when crossing a street. These transitions happen automatically, letting you focus on what matters rather than managing your hearing aid settings.
