Expanded Fitting Range and Price OptionsSomerset, NJ November 25 - Oticon Delta is an international success story, recognized for its outstanding performance by tens of thousands of satisfied users with high frequency hearing loss. Now, the hearing device whose award-winning design and breakthrough receiver-in-the-ear technology revolutionized the perception of hearing aids extends its full style and performance potential to users with all configurations of hearing loss up to 80 dB flat. The expanded Delta XR range enables hearing care professionals to fit both high frequency losses - often found with first time users - and more traditional flat broadband hearing losses. Delta XR is available in three models, including a new lower price Delta 4000, making Delta's fashionable good looks and cutting-edge functionality an option for more people than ever before.
"The new Delta XR line provides the benefits of six products with the simplicity and operations of three," states Peer Lauritsen, President of Oticon, Inc. "Hearing care professionals are now able to fit more than 80 percent of their patients with a hearing device that users want and can continue to wear, even if their hearing loss progresses."
RITE for All
The proprietary receiver-in-the-ear technology (RITE) enables Delta XR to combine the best of both worlds - merging the cosmetic advantages of in-the-ear instruments with the technological possibilities of behind-the-ear devices. The expanded line includes a new Delta XR Micro Mold, for hearing losses that extend across the entire frequency range. The Micro Mold sets a new standard in aesthetics for custom molds. Micro Mold, together with the Delta XR Open Dome and Plus Dome, allows patients to choose an attractive, cosmetic solution regardless of their degree of hearing loss.
"2 in 1" Fitting Flexibility
Delta XR's two differentiated fitting strategies enable hearing care professionals to fit both high frequency and broadband hearing losses, up to 80dB flat, with the same instrument. The fitting strategy for high frequency losses, the "clarity approach", is designed to deliver the best speech understanding in noise without side effects, benefiting new users with limited tolerance for amplification. Delta XR's broadband fitting strategy features proprietary Voice Aligned Compression to enable hearing care professionals to provide customized sound schemes across the entire frequency range, benefiting people with flat or sloping hearing loss as well as more experienced users.
New Price Option
The new lower priced Delta XR 4000 rounds off the extended product range, providing excellent all around performance including Artificial Intelligence-enabled automatics and advanced functionality such as noise reduction, directionality and feedback cancellation. With the new Delta XR 4000, users don't have to sacrifice style because of price.
Looks Too Good to Be Invisible
Delta XR's fashionable good looks have earned it a number of prestigious national and international awards including the International CES Best of Innovations Design and Engineering Award, the Red Dot Award and the Design Award of the Federal Republic of Germany. The award-winning device comes in seventeen color styles - from popular "Cabernet Red" and "Samoa Blue" to the exotic "Wildlife" (leopard) and "Diamond Black" - giving Delta XR a sleek and sexy styling that appeals to a new generation of hearing aid users. With Delta XR's modular set up, changing the look of the instruments to suit each user's style sense is quick and easy.
