Oticon Intent hearing aids

Engage effortlessly in life with groundbreaking 4D sensors

Traditional hearing aids understand sound, but not the person listening to the sound. This isn't ideal, since listening needs vary from person to person even in the same sound environment.

Oticon Intent™ was designed differently. Using groundbreaking sensors that recognise and adapt to what you want and need to listen to, so you can enjoy a seamless, personalised listening experience all day long.

How the technology works

Sensors pick up on your movements, interaction cues, and details from your 360º sound scene to better understand how you want to engage with what’s around you. The sensors instinctively adapt to your environment, giving you the right support for each moment.

What is a hearing aid?

Hearing aids are small, high-tech devices that help you hear if you suffer from hearing loss. They amplify your surrounding sounds (such as conversations, TV shows, or the radio) to help you communicate and participate in everyday situations.

Digital hearing aids

How does a hearing aid work?
Sound is carried across three different components:

  1. Microphone - receives sound waves and converts them into electrical signals
  2. Amplifier - increases the strength of the audio signals and sends them on to the ear
  3. Receiver / speaker - converts the amplified electrical audio signals into sound and sends them further into the ear canal
