MoreSound Intelligence™ 3 (MSI 3.0) is Oticon’s “software brain” for the Intent range, combining advanced sound-analysis algorithms into one seamless system that interprets your full acoustic scene and delivers clearer, more balanced audio.
Under the hood, MSI 3.0 provides up to 12 dB of noise suppression in challenging environments, giving you access to about 35 per cent more speech cues compared to Oticon’s previous top-tier offerings. This means quieter background noise and greater clarity of soft or distant speech.
By tracking your movement, classifying environments (up to five custom settings in Level 1) and simulating your outer ear’s natural acoustics, MSI 3.0 adapts instantly, so whether you’re walking through a busy café or shifting in conversation, the focus stays on the voices you want to hear.
Neural Noise Suppression is Oticon’s AI-powered noise-reduction engine running on the new Sirius™ chip with Deep Neural Network 2.0. It continuously learns to distinguish speech from background noise, applying the right amount of suppression without making speech sound unnatural.
In the top-tier Intent 1 you get up to 12 dB of noise reduction in “difficult” situations and 6 dB in “easy” ones. Intent 2 offers 10 dB/4 dB, Intent 3 8 dB/2 dB, and Intent 4 6 dB/0 dB, so you can choose the level of noise control that best fits your lifestyle and budget.
By cutting out more background chatter and wind noise, Neural Noise Suppression lowers listening effort and fatigue. In lab tests, Intent heard speech in noise scores well above average, helping you stay engaged in conversation, even when life gets loud.
Touch Control on the Oticon Intent lets you manage key functions with a simple tap on the hearing aid’s surface rather than digging for your phone or a remote. The built-in sensor recognises light taps for answering calls, switching listening programmes or adjusting volume, all without extra accessories.
By embedding controls directly into the miniRITE R casing, Oticon keeps the design sleek and intuitive. You can discreetly double-tap to accept hands-free calls or cycle through your preferred listening modes, then resume your conversation without skipping a beat.
For patients, Touch Control means fewer interruptions and a more natural experience. Instead of fumbling with smartphone apps or buttons on a charger, users enjoy seamless on-the-fly adjustments, ideal for busy lives where every moment counts.
The hallmark of Oticon Intent is its 4D Sensor™ Technology, which combines four streams of data, head movement, body movement, conversational activity and acoustic scene analysis—to understand your listening intent. Rather than treating every environment the same, it tailors amplification and noise management based on what you’re doing and where you’re looking.
In practice, these user-intent sensors deliver a 5 dB span of adaptive support within a single noisy setting. Clinical studies show that Intent users experience smoother transitions between situations, such as moving from a one-on-one chat to a bustling buffet line, without manual programme changes.
For everyday listening, 4D Sensor™ Technology reduces listening effort and keeps you engaged. Whether you’re turning to greet someone behind you or shifting your gaze in a group conversation, your hearing aids intuitively refocus on the sounds that matter most.
Spatial Balancer continuously shares information between your two hearing aids so that sound is balanced naturally across both ears. By comparing input levels in each ear, it ensures that louder sounds on one side don’t overpower quieter sounds on the other.
This feature operates on a sliding scale of symmetry, top‑level models offer up to 100 percent balance, while entry‑level models start at around 40 percent. The aids exchange data via near‑instant wireless links, adjusting gain in real time for seamless, integrated hearing.
For you, that means more accurate localisation of voices and environmental sounds. You’ll find it easier to follow conversations in group settings and feel less fatigued because your brain isn’t working overtime to reconcile mismatched audio inputs.
Virtual Outer Ear recreates the unique acoustic effects of your pinna (the outer part of your ear) to restore natural sound cues that are often lost in miniature hearing aids. By simulating how your physical ear would filter and shape incoming sound, it delivers a richer, more lifelike listening experience.
The system uses digital filters calibrated to hundreds of ear‑shape profiles. Higher‑level models let you choose from more configurations so you can fine‑tune the balance between clarity and spatial awareness.
With Virtual Outer Ear, you not only hear speech more clearly, you also regain the ability to sense where sounds are coming from. That extra layer of spatial information helps you stay oriented and engaged, whether you’re in a busy office or enjoying a night out.
Sound Enhancer is designed to give speech an extra boost by focusing on the frequencies most important for understanding voices. It offers multiple fine-tuning options so your audiologist can tailor the boost to your unique hearing profile and the situations you encounter most often.
Across the Intent range you’ll find different levels of configurability, up to three distinct sound-enhancement settings in Level 1, scaling back to just one preset in Level 4. Each setting adjusts gain in specific frequency bands to make soft or distant speech stand out without making background noise obtrusive.
For you, Sound Enhancer means conversations feel clearer and more natural. Whether you’re catching up with friends at a café or listening in a meeting, voices come through with greater presence and less effort.
SuddenSound Stabiliser tames abrupt loud noises, like slamming doors or clattering dishes, by automatically applying instant damping. It monitors incoming sound levels and reacts within milliseconds to prevent jarring spikes that can startle or discomfort you.
The number of stabilisation settings varies by model, giving you up to six levels of control in Level 1, down to two in Level 4. Your clinician can select the range that best matches your sensitivity and typical listening environments, ensuring spikes are smoothed out without dulling quieter sounds.
In everyday life, SuddenSound Stabiliser translates to greater comfort and fewer interruptions. You’ll notice fewer audio “jump scares,” so you can stay relaxed and focused even when unexpected noises occur around you.
Extended Fitting Bandwidth broadens the range of frequencies your audiologist can fine-tune, reaching up to 10 kHz for a richer sound experience. This wider bandwidth helps capture the high-frequency details in speech and music, making soft consonants and nuanced tones more audible.
By offering more than the standard 8 kHz limit, Extended Fitting Bandwidth ensures that your hearing aids reproduce the full spectrum of sounds you’d normally hear, from the subtlest birdsong to the highest musical notes. The result is a more natural, spacious listening environment where sounds feel lifelike rather than compressed.
For everyday life, that extra frequency headroom translates to improved speech clarity in challenging settings, especially when voices come from above or behind you. You’ll notice that conversations in reverberant rooms or outdoors feel less effortful, helping you stay engaged without laboured listening.
Full Connectivity Suite brings seamless wireless integration with all your devices, including smartphones, tablets, TVs and computers. You can stream phone calls, music, videos and other audio directly to your hearing aids without adapters or extra accessories.
Using low-power Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast technology, the suite supports hands-free calling and stereo sound streaming while conserving battery life. Switching between devices is intuitive, your hearing aids automatically detect the active source and prioritise your chosen audio.
With Full Connectivity Suite, you stay in control of your listening world. Whether you’re watching a webinar on your laptop, joining a conference call on your phone or unwinding with your favourite podcast, the audio always goes straight to your ears in crystal-clear quality.
Hearing aids work by picking up sound through a microphone, amplifying the sound via an internal amplifier, and then delivering the sound to the ear through a speaker. Modern hearing aids also have advanced features to reduce background noise and focus on speech clarity.
The type of hearing aid that is right for you depends on factors such as the severity of your hearing loss, lifestyle, and personal preferences. An audiologist can assess your hearing loss and help recommend the most suitable hearing aid based on your needs.
Coverage for hearing aids varies by insurance provider and plan. Some health insurance policies may cover the cost of hearing aids, while others may offer partial reimbursement. It’s important to check with your insurance provider for specific details on coverage.
Yes, many modern hearing aids offer Bluetooth connectivity, allowing them to pair with smartphones, televisions, and other devices for hands-free communication or audio streaming. You can adjust settings and control the volume via smartphone apps or remotes.
To maintain your hearing aid, clean it regularly using a soft cloth or a hearing aid brush to remove dirt and wax buildup. Avoid using water or harsh chemicals. You should also store your hearing aid in a dry place when not in use to prevent moisture damage.
