Better Hearing In Background Noise

One of the biggest challenging for people living with hearing loss is hearing effectively in competing background noise. Conventional hearing aids utilise purely acoustic input to optimise hearing aid functioning. New Oticon Intent 2 utilises both acoustic and  the movement  information of the wearer  to optimise functioning. This provides a more natural and adaptive listening experience. Oticon call this 4D Sensor technology.

It should be pointed out that only the top two tiers of technology, the Oticon Intent 1 and Intent 2  possess the motion sensors.  Therefore the 4D sensor technology which is a primary distinguishing feature of this latest model from Oticon is limited to these top two tiers of technology.

Oticon Intent 2 is considered the Advanced model in the range and is second from the top. It is also powered by the new Sirius ™ platform and Deep Neural Network 2.0™ advancing Oticon’s BrainHearing™ technology by providing more personalised support in varying  listening environments.

Incorporating Four Sensory Inputs

Oticons research shows that people’s communication behaviour reflects their listening needs. So Oticon Intent incorporates: Head and Body movement,  Conversation Activity and the Acoustic input from the environment to automatically adapt and provide for a more optimised and natural listening experience. Oticon claim this 4D Sensor Technology provides up to 35% more access to speech cues giving and increase of 15% speech understanding in noise compared to previous technology.

Here’s an  explanation of how they work:

Microphone Input:

Microphones capture external sounds for them to be selectively amplified.  Environmental sounds include speech, music, and other noises.

Digital Signal Processing: Acoustic signals are processed using advanced algorithms to optimise and clarify the sound. The processing helps to distinguish between different types of sounds with the aim of making speech more understandable and reducing the competing background noise

Motion Sensors:

Accelerometers and Gyroscopes integrated into the hearing aids detect the wearer’s head movements and the orientation of the device in real-time.

Motion Analysis: The hearing aids analyse the wearers movements determining factors such as the wearers movements, the direction they are facing, their walking pace and any sudden changes in movement.

Optimising Hearing Based on Motion:

  • Adaptive Directional Microphones: The hearing aids adjust their directionality of the microphone focal patterns based on the wearer’s head movements. For example  if the wearer turns their head towards someone speaking, the hearing aid can focus on that direction. This can be considered as the wearers “Intent”. They will the enhance the clarity of speech coming from that direction.
  • Dynamic Sound Processing: The hearing aid dynamically adjusts sound processing parameters based on motion data. For example, it may emphasise speech coming from the front while suppressing noise from the sides or behind, depending on the wearer’s orientation.

By combining acoustic input and motion data, Oticon Intent hearing aids provide a more natural and adaptive listening experience. They cater to an individuals dynamic and changing auditory needs. This technology represents a significant advancement in the field of hearing assistance by providing a more personalised and effective solutions for hearing in complex listening environments.

Discreet and Rechargeable

Oticon Intent have been made shorter than the former Oticon Real rechargeable, but slightly wider. They have also opted for a single push button on each device rather than a rocker switch.

Fast, Powerful, Reliable Charging

Being rechargeable hearing aids New Oticon Intent 2 is the fastest charging Oticon hearing aid to date. With a remarkable time of only two hours to fully charge from flat giving you around 20hours of reliable wear time. The new Oticon Desk Charger is small and light with clearly visible markings for left and right hearing aids. The redesigned contact charging helps the speed and efficiency of the charging.

A mere 30 minutes will provide 8 hours of wear time.

Enhanced Connectivity 

Streaming Audio wirelessly from smart devices is improved by now utilising bluetooth low energy. This provides high fidelity streaming together with lower power consumption.

Bluetooth LE Audio & AuraCast Ready

Oticon have integrated Bluetooth LE Audio for better stability and to enable two way streaming on iPhone and Android.

Oticon Intent 2 hearing aids are future ready for AuraCast which allows direct streaming of audio in public venues such as cinema, theatres, airports and shopping centres. So clear audio is received and public announcements are not missed. This is emerging technology for public broadcasts in venues that supersedes the need for a tele-coil in hearing aids and installed loop systems in public venues.

Although a made for iPhone hearing aid, Oticon Intent will also allow direct streaming from select Android devices that feature the (ASHA) protocol. Please see https://www.oticon.com.au/hearing-aid-users/support/information/compatibility

Direct streaming of audio is available with: iPhone,  iPad, iPod touch®, Mac® with macOS® Sonoma.

Hands Free Phone Calls

With a double tap on your hearing aids you can answer and hang up a phone calls. As the hearing aid wearer your voice is picked up by the hearing aid microphones and relayed off. So you don’t even need to take your phone out of your pocket or reach for it within a room to talk on the phone.

Four Technology Levels and Their Features 

Oticon Intent is available in four levels of technology. With Oticon Intent 1 being the Premium or top of the line model and Intent 2 considered the Advanced model. it should be noted that the motion sensors are only available in these top two tiers of technology.  I would recommend going for the top two tiers of technology given they bring in all four dimensions (4D) benefits of speech intent.

The Intent-based spatial balance feature has the most capability in tough hearing environments and is only in technology level 1.

The Neural noise suppression of Oticon Intent 2 is up to 10 dB which should provide a good level of noise filtering to provide listening comfort and speech clarity even in challenging environments such as noisy restaurants and cafes.

Sound Enhancer : For the best performance and the use of the deep neural network in understanding speech, we recommend Oticon Intent 1 or at least Oticon Intent 2 tech level.

Wind Noise Reduction: For people who enjoy being outdoors where it’s often windy such as when playing golf or working in open area Oticon Intent has the enhanced sudden sound and wind suppression features. 

Here is the Oticon Intent technology level features summary table:

In deciding which level of Oticon Intent suits your needs best, it is also important to consider that the Clear Dynamic is only available in Oticon Intent 1 and Intent Intent 2 has has a wide bandwidth of up to 8KHz which provides access to additional high frequency speech cues that provide further separation of the speech sound from competing environmental sound, enhances localisation and therefore feeds into reduced listening effort.

Oticon Intent hearing aids are now available in nine attractive colours including the appealing new Sky Blue and Honey Beige. The colours are from Left to Right:

Silver, Silver Grey, Steel Grey, Diamond Black, Chestnut Brown, Terracotta, Honey Beige, Chroma Beige and Sky Blue.

Awesome Resource Book!
Format: Paperback
My daughter and I are about to embark her college applications. For the past 3 years I have tried to get my hands on a book that had everything I need in it in one place. My shelf is lined with college essay books and how-to-get-in books, but even though I could get snippets of info from these books, I grew frustrated that there wasn't one with all the info I was needing to do this application process confidently. Then I found this book. It could easily replace all the other books on my shelf! It starts off with info for 9th and 10th graders and getting organized for the next 4 years, but even if your child is already a senior like mine, its not too late to get this book. For those embarking on their high school trek, or those starting their apps, the information on taking APs, Honors and IB classes will either guide you through the next 4 years, or make you feel confident about the choices you've (hopefully) made thus far. You'll learn about extracurrics and what schools are looking for and how to prepare for the SAT/ACT and what to do if you already choked on them. The book then guides you through choosing the right college for you through rankings, costs and college visits. By page 171, it is time to jump into the water with both feet and start the process of actually applying. It guides you step by step. It would be difficult to miss anything with this book as your guide. I suppose one thing I like about this book is that it is written by the former Dean of Admissions at Stanford. This woman knows her stuff. The co-author is a journalist and mom who has been where you are right now. She gets that this whole thing is nerve-wracking and overwhelming. The book is filled with insight from admission reps all over the country from a variety of schools. Every chapter has input from reps that really tell you what it is they are looking for, what they like, what they don't like, and who appeals to them the most. I've had my book 2 weeks and it is already dog-eared and well broken in. It has given me a lot of comfort on those nights I begin to wonder if my kid even has a shot at any of the schools to which she is applying, and the answer is yes, she really does. This book is worth every penny!

Parent of 2 College Bound Sons - and This Book REALLY HELPS !!
Format: Paperback
This new text came highly recommended by our school guidance counselor - i think in part because she knows the authors and was a participant in its writing - but she was clear that she has no monetary gain involved in sales...They have also come to our school and spoken on the topics addressed here in this EXCELLENT BOOK. The whole process of getting our kids ready for college has become such a BIG DEAL and such a COMPETITIVE effort that is foreign from my days of applying myself (circa 1978) that where to start and where to go for useful and helpful advice is a real chore. As a parent knowing what is "the truth" and what is "nonsense" advice is not always easy to discern these days. There are a lot of folks out there with "helpful hints" and supposed means to "rig the game" but logically that doesn't inherently make sense and in reality is probably rarely even true. Unfortunately there are also a fair number of books out there selling that same message and I suspect it is how and why the college admissions process has become so seemingly insane. This book works on a number of levels - for parents it can get you to return to the world of "common sense" and get you to stop worrying and start supporting your kids a little more and in a better and more constructive way - as they find a place to go to college. For the college bound Jr or Senior the book can help them navigate the process and begin to take a level of ownership and mastery that they may not naturally gravitate to. All in all we have found the advice and the writing style of this EXCELLENT GUIDEBOOK warm, logical, upbeat and with a strong message of there being a college for everyone - and that being true to yourself and not trying to be what you aren't will serve you better in the long run - both in and out of college. Hard advice to not agree with. A welcomed volume on the shelf and a book we are definitely using this year and next. Now if we can just get both of the boys OUT OF THE HOUSE !!! Seriously,....worth the cost and worth the read.

Completely Satisfied as a highschool Junior.
Format: Paperback
As a current high school junior, it's sometimes frustrating and difficult to pull together all this information for colleges. And a lot of guidebooks are written for the middle 50% of the market, so students who want to apply to more selective or liberal arts schools are left out. And that's why I recommend this book. Unlike other review books, this one gave advice on getting into all types of colleges. It differentiated admission advice for selective colleges (such as Harvard and Duke) vs. other colleges (such as state colleges). That's really helpful to me because I plan on applying to more selective schools and the generic info in guidebooks weren't cutting it for me. I thoroughly recommend this book because I definitely learned something new about the admission process in every page and it definitely gave me ideas on how to set up my applications. It gives a lot of good advice on how to make your activities and even the smallest hobbies application friendly. It goes into the most important parts of the application process based on the type of schools your applying to, financial aid, college visits, testing, transferring, making decisions once you're accepted, as well as providing charts and checklists to help guide you through the process. So from a current high school junior who is in the top 5% of her class, I can tell you that this book helps. This is the one guide that literally works for everybody. I plan on referring to it for the rest of the year as I plan my events and applications as well as through senior year as I make my decisions and sit through interviews. I may even leave it for my younger sister to use when her time comes. It's that helpful.

Informative
Format: Paperback
This book was one of several college informaion books I checked out from our local library. This one was the best - informative, objective and not-too-lengthy or not-too-short for each important element of college selection and application processes. So, I decided to buy one to keep at home. I wish the paper is thicker and better quality. Whenever I use highlighter, it got through its back-page.

Excellent advice
Format: Paperback
I've been working in College Student Affairs for almost 10 years (admissions & academic advising.) I bought this as a gift for my godson, who was a sophomore in high school at the time. I chose this book because it didn't put pressure on kids to pick the big name school with the highest price tag they were accepted to. It gave good advice bout finding out and figuring out what schools would be a good "fit" for them. It also had some good advice about taking & prepping for the SATs - which made it a good choice fod my godson even though he is a couple years away from filling out his applications!
