Delivers up to 20% better soft speech understanding.
SOMERSET, NJ – March 2 – Oticon, Inc. today introduced Alta2, Nera2 and Ria2, the newest hearing solutions in the Performance Line families and the first to be powered by Oticon’s new Inium Sense Platform. The sophisticated sound processing platform increases the real-time processing power of Oticon’s proven BrainHearing™ technologies by 30% to deliver the purest possible sound signal for the brain to decode. The result is a more natural listening experience with less effort.
The powerful Inium Sense feedback shield and Voice Aligned Compression (VAC+) with Soft Speech Booster empower Performance Line users to enjoy up to 20% improvement in soft speech understanding and an enhanced ability to hear soft speech without turning up the volume. An innovative new feature, Tinnitus SoundSupport™ is also available in select Performance Line solutions to provide personalized support for patients living with tinnitus.
“Oticon BrainHearing technologies give hearing care professionals a powerful way to remind patients that hearing care is health care,” says Oticon President Peer Lauritsen. “When consumers understand that hearing happens in the brain and has the potential to impact overall health, including cognitive function, hearing instrument choice becomes a health care-driven decision instead of a lifestyle or technology choice. With the new Inium Sense platform, our next generation BrainHearing technologies give consumers even more reasons to choose Oticon hearing solutions.”
Better performance, improved personalization, more satisfaction
Inium Sense introduces a range of next generation BrainHearing technology benefits. The new Voice Aligned Compression (VAC+) fitting rationale with Soft Speech Booster improves the audibility of soft sounds. Inium Sense solutions factor in more patient sound preferences, such as soft sound perception, to provide a better, more personalized first-time fit and less fine-tuning to facilitate patient acceptance and long-term satisfaction.
The integrated Tinnitus SoundSupport with user-friendly fitting software enables practitioners to customize settings to patients’ needs. Built-in ocean and broadband sounds help ease the effects of tinnitus. More sounds can be accessed through the new Oticon Tinnitus App, available for free download on the App Store. Oticon also offers practitioners counseling and support tools for tinnitus treatment management.
New Styles, Robust Design
The Performance Line families – Alta2, Nera2 and Ria2 – are available in styles and price points to suit a wide range of patient needs and preferences. A new miniRITE style features a more compact and discreet design with an easy-to-feel push button. All BTE and RITE style devices in the Performance Line families are designed to withstand active lifestyles and are IP58 classified, demonstrating a high degree of water resistance.
