Introducing the New Oticon Opn

Wireless connectivity +
binaural processing

TwinLink technology gives Opn wearers two communication systems in one hearing aid. Using near-field magnetic communication (NFMI), Opn simulates natural binaural hearing with ear-to-ear communication between the two hearing aids. With Bluetooth Opn wearers may stream phone calls, music, and other media directly from their smartphones to their hearing aids.

The full sound picture in perfect balance.

Opn provides an improved and unique feature that sets it apart from traditional hearing aids: while older hearing aids suppress sounds and boost others, Opn gives wearers the full soundscape in their environment. With more audio information, Opn gives a more natural listening experience. The OpenSound Navigator Environmental Analyzer scans the full 360 degrees of the wearer’s current listening environment 100 times a second, while algorithms analyze, and balance every sound. With this rich sound picture, Opn wearers are more fully connected to their environment.

Locate the sources of sound.

Powered by the Velox processing platform, the new Oticon Opn offers wearers improved features and functionality. Based on surveys, Oticon Opn hearing aid wearers have reported 20% reduction in listening effort in noisy environments and 20% more capacity to remember in challenging noise situations (because the brain is freed up from struggling to make sense of audio signals). Additionally, Velox provides wearers with 30% better speech understanding and clarity in noise, compared to previous models of Oticon hearing aids.

BrainHearing Technology

Oticon is known for their ground-breaking BrainHearing Technology, which assists the brain in the auditory process. BrainHearing technology works with brain’s processes and the neural pathways of focusing, orienting, separating information, and recognizing sounds to improve hearing. For individuals who suffer from hearing loss, the brain tries to fill in gaps of sounds they do not hear. BrainHearing Technology offers the following features:

Spatial Sound


Free Focus




Speech Guard E

Equipped with a 64-band frequency resolution, sound is presented with a clearer quality, which assists the brain’s hearing process. Velox’s “open sound solution” gives wearers the experience of a full soundscape, even in the most challenging sound environments. Oticon hearing aid wearers are empowered to focus on the sounds they want to hear, while experiencing significant cognitive benefits.
