Overall this improved access to sound allows patients to have increased awareness, engagement, and focus in their daily lives.

The Oticon Zircon is an essential line of technology that builds on Oticon’s BrainHearing philosophy. Zircon balances sound from all directions to maintain clear speech, allowing you to comfortably focus on what you want to hear. The OpenSound Navigator helps reduce unwanted noise — by scanning your sound environment more than 500 times per second. This helps to identify unwanted noise and separate it from relevant speech. The end goal is providing a clear picture of the sound around you, without compromising access to speech.
Oticon Zircon is currently available in two styles: a mini receiver-in-the-ear (miniRITE) or a mini behind-the-ear (miniBTE). These devices are appropriate for fitting mild-to-profound hearing losses. They offer two battery options: size 312 or rechargeable.

Oticon CROS family
Single-sided deafness can create several listening challenges including localizing sounds and listening to background noise. The Oticon CROS (contralateral routing of the signal) provides a solution for individuals who are looking for a more fully immersive listening experience. A CROS operates by wearing a transmitter on the unaidable ear, and sounds received from that transmitter are routed to a hearing device worn on the better-hearing ear.
The Oticon CROS is designed for individuals with single-sided deafness and can be fit as either a true CROS or BiCROS (hearing loss is also in the better hearing ear). There is a choice of a rechargeable Oticon CROS PX or a non-rechargeable Oticon CROS transmitter. Both of these devices are compatible with the following product families: Oticon Real™, More™, Zircon, Opn S™, Play PX, Opn Play™, Xceed, Xceed Play, and Ruby.
Unique Features:
- Bluetooth Connectivity: TwinLink technology makes it possible to connect to external audio sources (music, podcast, phone calls, etc), while simultaneously receiving CROS sound transmission from the poorer to the better ear. This enables patients to watch television or listen to music while carrying on a conversation with someone positioned on their poorer ear side.
- App / Remote Help: The Oticon Companion app or Oticon ON app provides support for you to independently make controls and personalize your fitting. Other bonus features inside the app include the “Find my Hearing Aids” feature and Remote Counseling assistance when needed.
- Tinnitus Solutions: Oticon offers relief in their Tinnitus SoundSupport™. This feature offers a variety of relief options, including ocean‑like sounds that can be customized for your hearing needs.
Oticon Play PX
Hearing loss impacts people of all ages. Oticon Play PX brings sound to life by providing children with access to the full sound scene. Play PX is the first pediatric hearing aid with an onboard Deep Neural network (DNN) that learns the same way children learn – through experience. This advanced technology provides them with optimal hearing for speech and language development in addition to enjoying the magic of childhood.
Unique Features:
- Tamper-resistant: Styles that help keep the battery out of reach of curious fingers.
- Built to last: They carry an IP68 certification, which means they are dust- and water-resistant, able to withstand humidity and varying climates.
- Light indicator: A convenient LED light for power source also gives complete peace of mind, informing caregivers and teachers visual confirmation that the battery is functioning properly.
- Bluetooth connectivity: Streams directly from iPhone and Android™ smartphones. Additionally, Play PX offers hands‑free communication that pairs with select iPhone® and iPad® devices, making direct streaming from children’s favorite devices even easier.
Learning in the classroom can be chaotic enough, and adding hearing loss to the equation can create further difficulty. Oticon offers several unique accessories to provide optimal hearing in challenging listening environments:
- EduMic — an easy-to-use classroom hearing solution providing clear and direct access to the teacher’s voice from a wireless remote microphone. This accessory helps children manage noise, reverberation, and distance in the classroom.
- Amigo FM — is designed to help students overcome the effects of distance and noise, so they can put less effort into hearing and concentrate on understanding what is being said.
- ConnectClip — is a multi-purpose accessory that can transform your child’s hearing aids into high-quality headphones that stream sound to both ears. Even with the best hearing aids, it can sometimes be difficult to clearly hear what someone is saying (ex: on the playground or in the car). The ConnectClip provides a boost in these difficult listening situations by streaming another person’s voice—up to 65 feet away—directly to all Oticon Bluetooth-enabled hearing aids (including Oticon Play PX, Opn Play, or Xceed Play).
Oticon Xceed
Oticon Xceed was designed to give power to those who need it, without creating feedback (whistling) or compromised sound quality. The BrainHearing technology found in Xceed scans your surroundings 100 times per second. In research studies, they found that individuals wearing Xceed hearing aids noticed 10% improvements in speech clarity, 10% less listening effort/strain, and 15% improvements in short-term recall. All of these findings suggest patients have an improved ability to handle noisier environments and improve their listening fatigue
Oticon Xceed is available in the behind-the-ear (BTE) style. These devices are appropriate for fitting severe-to-profound hearing losses. They offer two battery options: size 13 or 675.
Unique Features:
- Bluetooth Connectivity: The phone can be a very difficult listening scenario for individuals with severe-to-profound hearing loss. Oticon Xceed simplifies phone conversation by offering Bluetooth connectivity, which is made for iPhone and connects to any modern smartphone via ConnectClip. This allows for improved, crisp, communication over the phone.
- App / Remote Help: The Oticon Companion app or Oticon ON app provides support for you to independently make controls and personalize your fitting. Other bonus features inside the app include the “Find my Hearing Aids” feature and Remote Counseling assistance when needed.

Oticon Xceed Play
Severe hearing loss impacts people of all ages, including children. Oticon Xceed Play is another pediatric hearing aid designed for severe-to-profound hearing losses. Children with significant hearing loss need more support to separate speech from noise in order to develop speech and language. Xceed Play utilizes BrainHearing™ technology, which gives the child access to clearer speech from all directions for listening and learning. This allows them to learn in a way that mimics the way the brain naturally makes sense of sound.
Oticon Xceed Play is available in the behind-the-ear (BTE) style. These devices are appropriate for fitting pediatric patients with severe-to-profound hearing losses. They offer two battery options: size 13 or 675. Both styles also include a fun collection of decorative stickers your child can use to decorate their hearing aids!

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS ABOUT HEARING AIDS
Generally speaking, in-the-ear hearing aids tend to last up to five years, while behind-the-ear hearing aids typically last five to six years. Largely, it depends on how well you take care of your hearing aids. Some patients will decide to upgrade their hearing aids prior to this time, as newer technology is routinely released and may provide greater benefits. An audiologist will be able to guide you in deciding when an upgrade is necessary.
