To help his hearing-impaired wife, Hans Demant founded Oticon in 1904. Since then, Oticon’s legacy of care and cutting-edge technology has been transforming the experience of sound for 120 years.
In real life, environments vary – some noisy, some quiet, some with speech, some without. But what you want to hear depends on your intentions, which could change in a moment. Oticon IntentTM hearing aids are built to detect your listening intentions^ and provide personalised hearing support in any situation*. So, you can focus on sounds that matter and access the world around you. To do this, Oticon Intent is powered by 4D Sensor technology* and a full-time second-generation Deep Neural Network (DNN) that has learned from experience.
Today’s ground-breaking Oticon Intent alongside an historic “Acousticon” from 1910.
Some hearing solutions are complex; others are incredibly simple. While it’s important to protect our ears against ear infections and loud noises, did you know diet can play a role in preventing age-related hearing loss?1
- Foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin D, like tuna, can benefit the cardiovascular system and reduce inflammation that may damage sensitive ear tissue2.
- Foods containing antioxidants and folic acid, like spinach, may reduce risk of hearing loss by up to 20% by improving inner ear blood flow3.
- Fruit and veg rich in Vitamins C and E can strengthen the immune system, protecting blood vessels and nerves around the ears to help prevent infections.
By working nutrient-rich foods into your diet, you can help safeguard your hearing health for years to come.
