Oticon Expands Opn Options and Hearing Resources for Teens

Oticon (https://www.oticon.com/) has added DSL rationale and a new miniRITE-T with telecoil for FM access to their Opn products for teenage hearing aid users, which they tout as their best assistive technology option for this population. The wireless technology featured in the discreet miniRITE-T design with a telecoil and double-push button can be used wherever a loop system is installed, and delivers sound directly to the users' hearing aids. The Oticon Opn is equipped with an OpenSound Navigator, which provides an open sound experience, allowing its user to focus on a conversation while staying attentive to people and things around them so they can switch focus quickly and easily. Teenage users can also connect to their favorite devices like their iPhones for direct streaming via their Bluetooth-enabled Opn hearing aids.​

Oticon is also partnering with the Ida Institute to promote Telecare for Teens, a suite of easy-to-use online tools and resources that help teens self-mange and make more independent judgments about their hearing health care (http://ift.tt/2sZyZT8). These tools are designed for hearing care professionals to share with their teenage patients to help them prepare for appointments and make counseling more efficient. Audiologists can use these tools to identify communication needs and concerns and guide support for teens.
