RM12,000 - Oticon Xceed Play 1 BTE Hearing Aid

Oticon Xceed Play is built on the Oticon philosophy that better hearing starts with the brain. We call this BrainHearing™ and it is an approach that supports the natural way children’s brains process sounds. Oticon Xceed Play applies proven BrainHearing technology, which provides access to a 360° balanced soundscape, so that children get the opportunity to choose who and what to listen to.

Hearing loss limits the amount of acoustic detail the brain receives. The fewer details, the harder the brain has to work to decode sound. The two performance levels in Oticon Opn Play and Oticon Xceed Play both provide access to a 360º listening environment, but they differ in the way they support and help the brain making sense of sound. Three features are key in supporting the brain in making sense of sound: OpenSound Navigator opens the sound by preserving distinct speech and removing the noise that makes speech unclear. The level of noise that can be removed in different listening environments ranging from 9 dB to 3 dB and results in different levels of BrainHearing™ support. Spatial Sound LX in Oticon Opn Play hearing aids makes sure that important information about the location of sound is preserved. With 4 level estimators Oticon Opn Play 1 offers the best spatial information of the two performance levels. Speech Guard LX amplifies and preserves clean speech information and makes it easier for the brain to separate speech from noise. The difference between performance level 1 and 2 lies in the input range (Clear Dynamics) combined with the linear window that ranges from 12 to 9 dB, resulting in different levels of speech cue preservation. In addition, Oticon Opn Play and Oticon Xceed Play also contain a number of other features that will also influence the support the brain receives in different listening situations e.g. OpenSound Optimizer, Spatial Noise Management, bandwidth, and number of processing channels.
