RM18,000 - Oticon More 1 R – Rechargeable MiniRITE Hearing Aid

BrainHearing™

Patients are constantly presented with sound scenes that are dynamic, complex and unpredictable. It’s the brain’s role to handle this complexity, to hear and to help create meaning from it all. Taking our BrainHearing™ technologies to the next level, we've created a hearing aid that works more like how the brain works, because it learned through experience.

Deep Neural Network (DNN)

Oticon More™ is the world's first hearing aid that uses a fully trained, on-board Deep Neural Network (DNN) to process the sound scene in a more precise and balanced way. This precise approach provides the brain with optimized input from all types of meaningful sound, giving patients better speech understanding with less effort and the ability to remember more.

A fundamentally new approach to sound processing To deliver a full and balanced sound scene, we have completely redefined the way we process sounds. We recorded sound scenes from real-life and used them to train a highly intelligent, embedded Deep Neural Network (DNN) that is the foundation for the sound processing technology in Oticon More. This approach enables us to launch two new groundbreaking features built to ensure the full sound scene is processed and amplified precisely.

Polaris™

Introducing two new groundbreaking features Oticon More is based on the innovative Polaris™ platform and powered by Oticon’s groundbreaking feature, MoreSound Intelligence™, which provides a quantum leap in sound scene processing.

Detectors have been updated for more precise processing of moving sounds and the embedded Deep Neural Network has been trained for the specific purpose of sound processing in a hearing aid. In addition, the amplification is now based on processing in two simultaneous paths prioritizing the optimal amplification for all sound scenes. By including 28nm technology, the chipset has room for more than 154 million transistors – more than twice the number of transistors compared to Velox S™ – without adding to the size of the chipset.

Compared to Velox S, the technology provides 8 times more solid state memory, twice as much computation capacity, and twice the working memory (RAM). Signal processing is done in 24 frequency channels (50% more than Velox S) allowing for a doubling of the signal processing precision between 1.5 and 5 kHz and a more personalized fine tuning of gain. Running on a lithium-ion battery, providing enough battery power for a full day’s use*, the Polaris platform provides the user with much more processing power than any previous Oticon platform. The platform is future ready, meaning that as technology develops the hearing aids can be updated wirelessly to include the latest improvements.

MoreSound Intelligence™

MoreSound Intelligence scans the full sound scene 500 times per second, resulting in a precise analysis of all sounds and the complexity of the surroundings. Once the sound scene is analyzed, MoreSound Intelligence organizes the sounds around the user, and then utilizes the DNN’s vast training from real life to process and create contrast between the identified sounds. The result is a more natural representation of all sounds in a clear, complete and balanced sound scene.

MoreSound Amplifier™

Oticon More also comes with MoreSound Amplifier™; a dynamic and balanced amplification system that seamlessly adapts its resolution and speed to the nature of the sound scene at hand. With a sixfold increase in resolution and an adaptive speed pilot, MoreSound Amplifier makes the full sound scene audible while maintaining the fine contrast and balance between sounds. This ensures the brain has access to the important information it needs to make sense of sound. Oticon More’s unique features are offered in the discreet lithium-ion based rechargeable style – miniRITE R. It is available in three price points, comes with a t-coil and covers hearing loss ranging from slight to profound.
