Oticon’s electric Acousticon hearing aid devices were first offered to the public in 1904. After partnering with Charles Lehman, the American-Danish Oticon Corporation became the leading provider of hearing aids after World War II and a global contender in the hearing aid industry by 1965.
The development and release of their first ultra-discreet in-the-ear (ITE) hearing device occurred in 1977, with the company’s first digital device offered to the public in 1996.
The first devices with improved sound sensitivity, along with streaming and connectivity features, were made available in 2007.
Oticon’s Brain Hearing philosophy has guided their 21st century innovations, which includes designs and technology that support how the brain processes sound and provides it with the elements necessary to create meaning from sound rather than simple amplification of sound.
Developed in 2016, Oticon’s Opn solution made it possible for device wearers to distinguish between multiple speakers within a noisy environment, while also establishing the capacity for internet connectivity (ConnectClip) using the IFTTT (If This Then That) Network.
In addition to building devices with higher quality of sound and enhanced instrument performance, investments into micro-digital technology has made it possible for the manufacturer to produce increasingly smaller devices without sacrificing performance capacity.
Thanks to streaming capabilities, Oticon integrated Tinnitus SoundSupport into their hearing devices which transmits white noise and other tinnitus masking sounds for auditory relief; used with Oticon’s Genie fitting and counseling tool, it makes it easier for your hearing care provider to fit your device and provide the necessary ongoing counseling and support without an in-office appointment.

Dr. Michelle stood out. Not only because she a highly qualified audiologist, but because she is a warm and caring human being. She has very high standards and was not content with my hearing correction until I was.
My initial thoughts when I met Dr. Michelle was how professional she was, how she listened to my individual concerns and how helpful she was to solve my problems.
I truly feel that Dr. Michelle cares deeply for her patients.
I have been experiencing an increased difficulty hearing with my most recent hearing aid and have recently moved to the area. After reading many reviews, I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Michelle based on the positive comments.
If you are like me and the quality of your hearing is important to you, service is more important than then the instruments themselves.
Dr. Michelle is the best.
