NEW evidence proves:

Oticon More™ outperforms top competitors

8 out of 10 people prefer Oticon More

Amazing new results from testing in real-life, complex sound scenes show that Oticon More hearing aids give the brain better access to speech. At the same time, they give faster access to more of the relevant sounds all around, in higher fidelity1. And this leading sound quality is preferred by 8 out of 10 people with hearing loss, across different sound environments2.

Compared to two top competitors, Oticon More gives:

  • More speech

    Better access to speech coming from around the wearer

  • More sounds

    Access to more of the relevant sounds in the sound scene

  • Faster adaptation

Key findings in our three studies:

Oticon More gives the brain better access to speech around the wearer while providing more sound – not less!

You can see in the graph how Oticon More hearing aids outperform Competitor A and Competitor B at giving access to speech coming from the side – and this is just one of the findings.

All together, these tests prove that Oticon More hearing aids give the brain better access to speech in complex sound scenes while also giving the brain better access to more of the relevant sounds all around.

What is more, the tests show Oticon More gives faster access to more of the relevant sounds all around, in higher fidelity. This means the brain can be more easily aware of what's going on all around – helping people to participate seamlessly in their everyday lives.

8 out of 10 people prefer the sound quality of Oticon More

After measuring the audiological performance of the three hearing aids, we then studied how people experience the sound quality.

We asked people with diverse types of hearing loss to evaluate the sound quality in different sound environments, in a preference test.

Again, Oticon More outperformed the competition. Not only did Oticon More get the highest average rating in the different sound scenes. An amazing 8 out of 10 people preferred the sound quality of Oticon More over the two competitors, when listening to speech through a facemask and conversations in a restaurant or a café.

Conclusion:

Oticon’s new approach to sound processing outperforms traditional technologies in complex environments


These test results confirm the effectiveness of Oticon's fundamentally new approach to sound processing: to give the brain more sound, not less!

Where the competitors shut down surrounding sounds with traditional directionality, noise reduction, compression, and feedback management, Oticon focuses on giving the brain more sound.

This new approach is possible thanks to a highly intelligent Deep Neural Network and the innovative new technology features: MoreSound Intelligence™ and MoreSound Amplifier™.

This is how BrainHearing™ takes hearing care to the next level


Oticon's leading innovations such as using a Deep Neural Network – and our whole new approach to hearing care – come directly from our unique BrainHearing philosophy.

BrainHearing is based on the realization that the brain is the world's best sound processor! This is why Oticon always focuses on understanding and supporting the way the brain naturally makes sense of sound. It's what we do differently.

So when research showed the brain needs access to the full sound scene in order to work in a natural way4, our response was to make a new generation of brain-friendly hearing aids: Oticon More.
