Visit the Oticon Exhibit (#1601) at AAA 2022 + Hear Tech Expo!
Oticon welcomes the opportunity to meet face-to-face with hearing care professionals from across the US at AAA 2022 + Hear Tech Expo, March 30 – April 2 in St. Louis, MO. As a Gold Sponsor for the HearTECH Expo Hall, Oticon is committed to maximising the conference experience for participants with hands-on and in-depth introductions to the newest Oticon technology, practice support and services. In addition, Oticon audiologists and subject matter experts will share the newest research and insights in educational sessions, demonstrations, and panel discussions throughout the conference.
“We are always excited to be present at major industry events such as AAA 2022 as it provides Oticon the opportunity to connect with hearing care professionals and showcase our latest groundbreaking technology designed to support them in their daily endeavors,” says Thomas Behrens, Vice President of Audiology, Oticon. “This year, we have a wealth of additions to our product portfolio, all of which seed from the groundbreaking Polaris platform. With Polaris we have completely transformed sound processing, helping patients to experience more sound that is enjoyable and supporting them to live a more active and fulfilled life. We are really proud of our commitment to deliver this life-changing technology to as many patients as possible, and to extend availability to the pediatric and the essential categories. If you are attending AAA, we look forward to seeing you there.”
Center stage at the Oticon Exhibit (#1601) will be the newest Oticon hearing solutions built on the groundbreaking Polaris platform – offering more speed, precision, and capacity to help more patients enjoy a life full of sound. In 2021, Oticon revolutionized hearing care with the introduction of Oticon More™, the first hearing aid built on the Polaris platform. Now, Oticon expands the potential of Polaris with two new miniBTE solutions to give hearing care professionals the ability to meet the diverse needs and preferences of more patients with the superior sound quality of Oticon More.
Also on display, new Oticon Zircon brings the power of Polaris and the open sound experience to the essential hearing aid category for the first time. New Oticon Play PX is another first – the first pediatric hearing aid with an on-board Deep Neural Network that has learned to recognise sounds through experience, just like how a child’s brain does. Oticon More, Zircon and Play PX support hands-free two-way communication using select iPhone or iPad devices*.
