Hoortoestellen zijn in de afgelopen jaren een stuk geavanceerder geworden, zo hadden we laatst een blog over hoortoestellen met AI. Maar fabrikanten kijken ook naar onopvallendheid, en daar is waar Oticon momenteel druk mee bezig is. Onopvallend, goed horen. Vandaag willen we de Oticon Own SI hoortoestellen toelichten in deze blog. Deze hoortoestellen zijn ontworpen om de gebruiker te voorzien van onopvallend goed horen, zodat de technologie die in het gehoor van de gebruiker werkt, niet zelf in de weg staat. In deze blog duiken we dieper in wat de Oticon Own SI bijzonder maakt, hoe ze zich onderscheiden op het gebied van onopvallendheid, en waarom ze goed functioneren, zelfs in gezelschap.
What makes the Oticon Own SI unobtrusive?
There are several factors that make the Oticon Own SI an unobtrusive hearing aid. The most important of these is the placement. The Oticon Own SI is specifically designed as an in-the-ear hearing aid. This means that the hearing aids are completely inside the ear, making them barely visible to others. In fact, with the IIC (Invisible in Canal) version, nine out of ten people may not see any sign of the hearing aids in the ear. This offers the user the advantage of invisibility, while at the same time benefiting from the advanced technology Oticon offers.
So while the IIC version is incredibly discreet, it does mean that a little space is required in the ear canal for the placement of the technology. This ensures that the IIC version is suitable for people with relatively mild to moderate hearing loss who are able to place the technology in the ear canal without discomfort.
The CIC (Completely in Canal) version is slightly larger, but still offers users a discreet design. This version is ideal for people who like a little more control over their hearing aids, as the CIC hearing aids are equipped with volume and program controls. This is a great option for users who want to occasionally adjust their own settings, but still enjoy a discreet design.


Why do they say you can hear well with it?
Oticon Own SI hearing aids are not only designed to be discreet, but they also offer excellent sound quality. What makes Oticon Own SI hearing aids so good is the advanced technology inside them. These devices use Oticon’s BrainHearing™ technology, which aims to enhance the user’s natural sound experience. This means that the hearing aids not only amplify sound, but also optimize it for the brain, making hearing feel better and more natural.
What exactly makes this possible? The Oticon Own SI is equipped with advanced sound processing technology, which allows the hearing aids to detect and adjust ambient sounds based on the situation. This is particularly valuable in gatherings where there is a lot of background noise. For example, the hearing aid can provide targeted sound amplification for the speech of people who are nearby, while background noise is attenuated. This allows the user to better focus on conversations without being distracted by ambient noise.
The technology behind the BrainHearing™ technology allows sounds of different frequencies and intensities to be adjusted to best support the user’s hearing. This means that, even in noisy environments such as family parties, meetings or social gatherings, the user can still clearly hear what is being said without difficulty.
Suitable for hearing losses from mild to severe
Oticon Own SI hearing aids are not only unobtrusive and efficient, but also suitable for different levels of hearing loss. The hearing aids are available for both mild hearing loss and moderate to severe hearing loss, meaning they are suitable for a wide range of users.
The IIC version is ideal for people with mild hearing loss, as it does not require much space in the ear canal and is perfect for subtle amplification of sounds. The CIC version is suitable for people with moderate hearing loss, as the slightly larger hearing aids can provide additional amplification while still remaining relatively discreet.
Is the hearing aid also suitable for hearing in company?
One of the biggest advantages of Oticon Own SI hearing aids is their suitability for use in company. As mentioned earlier, the hearing aids use advanced technology designed to optimize sounds in different environments. This means that the Oticon Own SI is perfect for busy environments where many people are talking, such as social events or family gatherings.
The directional sensitivity of your own ear canals with the combination of the technology in the hearing aids ensures that conversations up close are amplified more clearly, while sounds from in the background are subtly muffled. This makes Oticon Own SI hearing aids perfect for social interactions, where the user can effortlessly participate in conversations even when there is a lot of noise.
What does this mean for your hearing?
At its core, Oticon Own SI offers improved sound quality and comfort, thanks to the combination of discreet design and advanced technology. The device adapts to the user’s specific needs and allows them to once again enjoy a clear and natural sound experience.
This makes the Oticon Own SI an excellent choice for anyone who wants to hear discreetly but at the same time benefit from a natural sound experience that allows them to participate in conversations, even in crowded environments.
Conclusion: Inconspicuous Good Hearing
Oticon Own SI hearing aids offer a combination of discretion and advanced technology that makes the hearing aid ideal for both mild and moderate to severe hearing loss. With the invisible design of the IIC model and the user-friendly CIC model, the Oticon Own SI is suitable for anyone who wants to combine the comfort of good hearing with the benefits of an unobtrusive design.
Advanced BrainHearing™ technology allows the user to hear more naturally and clearly, even in crowded social settings. If you are looking for a hearing aid that is both discreet and efficient, the Oticon Own SI is an excellent choice.
