Oticon launches hearing aids for children

[ad_1]

For several years now, children's equipment has been asking hearing care professionals to compromise and choose between Omni (maintain a 360 ° perception of the sound environment) or Directional (better signal-to-noise ratio in a noisy environment). Oticon's new Opn Play and Xceed Play lines eliminate this dilemma! They improve the speech-to-noise ratio without depriving the young brains of the sounds necessary for auditory development and the pleasure of daily exchanges.

Facilitate the learning and participation of the child

Children are constantly surrounded by sounds: at school, at sport, in the garden …. But understanding what is being said and learning in noise is a real challenge, especially if they have hearing loss! Traditional technologies offer directional listening focusing on one speaker at a time. Failure to understand conversations limits opportunities for development, indirect learning, and reduces awareness of the environment.

With Opn Play and Xceed Play, the child has access to 360 ° sound to be in the best possible learning conditions. The OpenSound Navigator Analyzes, prioritizes and preserves speech by separating it from noise, regardless of the sound environment. This improves understanding, reduces listening effort, and facilitates the child's daily participation.

No more risk of feedback!

Because of the limitations of conventional technology, it was often impossible to achieve the prescribed gain because of the risk of feedback. Oticon revolutionizes the anti-Larsen approach thanks to the OpenSound Optimizer which analyzes the sound 56,000 times a second and prevents the feedback before it even happens! Paired children can play, interact, cuddle, wear hats, disguises or helmets, without the risk of annoying hissing. To succeed in this technological challenge, a new digital platform has been designed: Velox S, the fastest ever developed by Oticon. The speech is then amplified up to 6 decibels more, while allowing more comfortable adaptations, without any risk of feedback, and thus allows up to 25% more speech indices.

Connect to the world

Opn Play and Xceed Play connect to smartphones and provide access to a wide range of accessories and options to make life easier for children and teenagers. Notably thanks to the ConnectClip: a multipurpose accessory smart health connected in Bluetooth which allows the children to better hear a speaker (for example a teacher) in a noisy environment, to telephone comfortably, to transform the hearing aids in headphones to enjoy his music, to change programs and adjust the volume, speak with friends on applications like Skype … it's an ideal tool for classroom life where concentration is paramount or in the car with significant background noise!

Importantly, beyond the revolutionary audiological aspect, these hearing aids have been designed to adapt to the active life of children. They are water and dust resistant, the battery is out of reach of curious little fingers, and an LED indicator light tells parents or the teacher that the device is working properly. For added security, the hearing aids are allergen-free and painted with a biocompatible texture. For the aesthetic side, Oticon offers 12 colors to meet the needs of children, in order to remain discreet or on the contrary stand out.
