Somerset, NJ May 12 – For consumers returning to work and social activities in an uncertain economic climate, the newest addition to Oticon’s comprehensive line of life-changing technology offers an attractive combination of sound quality, sought-after features and affordability. New Oticon Ruby sets a new standard in the essential category, delivering great sound quality, hassle-free rechargeability and easy wireless connectivity in one complete solution – all within the reach of today’s budget-conscious patients.
Powered by the Velox S™ platform, Oticon Ruby introduces the new SuperShield feedback management system that prevents feedback before it occurs, so patients can enjoy a better hearing experience without interruptions from unwanted whistling and squealing. For patients who want the convenience of rechargeable batteries, a new simple-to-use lithium-ion rechargeable option provides a full-day’s* charge in just a few hours. Easy Bluetooth® connectivity with low battery consumption enables patients to connect to smartphones and other modern devices to stream audio and music directly to their hearing aids.
“After experiencing this time of social distancing, consumers recognize the value of easy access to modern technologies to stay connected with family, friends and business colleagues,” said Don Schum, PhD, Vice President of Audiology for Oticon, Inc. “Phone calls, video chats and other virtual connections have become their lifeline to the world. These connections are enhanced with better hearing. At the same time, despite the start of an economic recovery, some patients may be more careful about spending. Oticon Ruby allows practitioners to offer patients looking for sought-after features, like rechargeability and easy wireless connections, a quality solution at a more affordable price.”
Like all Oticon wireless hearing aids, Oticon Ruby is compatible with Oticon RemoteCare, a new telehealth solution that allows hearing care professionals to follow up online with patients to remotely adjust and fine-tune hearing aids in a virtual appointment. For select patients who have valid audiograms, first fit with Oticon RemoteCare allows hearing care professionals to fit new hearing aids remotely.
Complete Solution with All the Essentials
Oticon Ruby and all Oticon hearing aids use BrainHearing™ technology to support the brain in making sense of sound and enable patients to participate in challenging listening environments. The ultra-fast Velox S™ platform powers the new SuperShield technology to analyze incoming sound levels, identify feedback and quickly prevent whistling before it occurs. Patients enjoy improved sound quality and a better listening experience.
Oticon Ruby miniRITE R rechargeable hearing aids offer a full day* of power with a simple overnight charge. The intuitive, easy-to-use charger provides a stable, reliable magnetic connection for convenient charging that delivers power throughout the day, including streaming, with a super-fast three-hour charging time. A quick 30-minute recharge provides an additional six hours of power. With Ruby, Oticon now offers a full portfolio of easy to use rechargeable instruments to meet patient needs.
