Oticon Opn
In 2016, Hearing Aid Manufacturer Oticon introduced Opn, the world first
hearing aid that is proven to make listening easier on the Brain.
Oticon Opn™ - Join our open sound revolution.
Oticon Opn is a new kind of hearing aid that gives you 360° sound, constantly. It’s
technology works 50 times faster than the previous generation*, allowing Oticon Opn to
scan the entire soundscape before reducing the noise, wherever you want to go.

Traditional technology
Focuses on one speaker,
suppresses all others
Opens up the soundscape to
embrace multiple speakers
Not fast enough to handle many sounds at the
same time, traditional hearing aids normally focus
on a “main” sound, like speech in front of you, and
then suppress all other sounds. Yet background
sounds often include important speech details,
and when these are not passed on to the brain,
conversations are difficult and tiring to follow.
Oticon Opn™ - a new kind of hearing aid
Be in charge
of which sounds
you focus on
With Oticon Opn, traditional hearing aid
technology is a thing of the past. The ground-
breaking technology in Oticon Opn processes
sounds 50 times faster, giving your brain a more
complete soundscape, and putting you – not
your hearing aid – in charge of which sounds
you focus on. The result is greater mastery
of your conversations with less effort.
Hear better, remember more, with less effort
We hear with our brains, so give yours the natural soundscape it is supposed to perform in.
Research shows that Oticon Opn’s full, 360-degree sound helps your brain understand up
to 30% more speech while reducing the effort you need to listen by 20%, even in noisy
environments. This free mental capacity means you will be able to remember up to 20% more*.

Not just a revolution in hearing
care technology, it also turns your
hearing aid into a smart device.
You probably know the feeling. You’re
sitting round the dinner table, working
hard to follow the thread. You might be
hearing the person across from you, or next
to you. But when someone further away
says something, you don’t catch it, and the
conversation moves on – leaving you behind.
The reason is that your hearing loss means that
fewer sounds reach your brain to start with. To
make sense of these sounds, your brain has to
struggle to fill in the gaps. And this is especially
true in situations where sounds come from
different directions – like at the dinner table.
