Sounds help shape our life and help create amazing moments. Whether it’s the voices of people we cherish, the bustle of a busy restaurant, the sounds of nature, or the rhythm of a song - these are the real sounds of life. Based on our BrainHearing™ philosophy, we’re now taking the next step with our newest product family taking our BrainHearing technology to the next level.

Auditory acclimatization is described as the adjustment time related to learning to accommodate new auditory inputs through hearing technology. This presentation will discuss explorative case studies completed on auditory acclimatization. Facilitators and barriers for successful auditory acclimatization with children who are long-time users of hearing aid technology will be discussed.

Oticon has a long history of focusing on innovative research into how the brain processes sound and how technology can support the brain’s natural ability to process sound. In this course we will review evidence supporting Oticon’s technology developments and how hearing care professionals can use this information to discuss benefits and explain why they are recommending Oticon solutions.

We are all made differently and so are our ears. There’s no one-size-fits-all hearing solution because everyone has their own needs and no two ear canals are the same. Our newest product family is customizable and built with our BrainHearing™ technology. Designed for discreetness, it offers patients a truly personal listening experience. This course is an overview of our new custom product family.

There are assumptions and fitting decisions hearing care providers make when fitting amplification designed to address more typical patients. However, when fitting patients with more complex hearing loss those assumptions and fitting practices may become irrelevant. This course will review considerations and suggestions for amplification to achieve the best possible outcome for these patients.

In this course we will interview Jerry Northern, PhD, a pioneer in the field of pediatric audiology, and his daughter, Amy Hardie, MEd, a teacher of the deaf and hard of hearing. We will discuss the evolution of universal newborn hearing screening in the United States and the current state of early intervention for children with hearing loss.

This course will explain the how the Deep Neural Network of Oticon More further supports noise reduction, allowing even better performance in the open-sound paradigm. We will also review research on how the brain processes sound in the auditory cortex and how the open-sound paradigm of Oticon More supports how the brain naturally works.

A child’s experiences are filled with sound, conversations and interactions vital to their growth. In this course we will explore our life-changing technology designed with children in mind. Our advanced signal processing strategy gives children with hearing loss access to all relevant sounds in the sound scene to help them unleash the magic of childhood.

Oticon continues to expand the potential of our Polaris™ platform giving professionals the opportunity to help their patients hear better and improve the quality of their lives.. In this course we introduce these new options and review the BrainHearing™ benefits of our key technologies.
