Oticon Reveal Brings Veterans Closer to a More Natural Listening Experience with Dual AI

SOMERSET, NJ — Oticon Reveal, the world’s first hearing aid powered by a Dual AI system, is now available on the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) contract. The discreet miniRITE solution provides real-time access to both crystal-clear speech and surrounding contextual sounds in optimal balance, bringing Veterans closer to a more natural listening experience.

Guided by the latest research into how the brain works, Oticon Reveal restores the balance between speech and contextual sounds to give the brain the information it needs to work more naturally. The Dual AI system consists of two new AI technologies that work simultaneously. Speech AI continuously identifies and enhances clear speech, while Context AI preserves and balances contextual sounds that give it meaning.

Together they adapt seamlessly in real time to the user’s dynamic sound environment to deliver the industry’s best combination of fast and precise AI sound processing¹—all day, and in all environments. Veterans enjoy a richer, more natural listening experience that is more immersive, effortless, and keeps them connected to their environment throughout the day.

Dual AI Technology Working in Real Time

New research reveals that there is a unique balance point—an ideal combination between speech and contextual sounds—where the brain actually works best. The balance point is constantly changing in real time, from environment to environment, and is different from person to person. Oticon Reveal’s innovative Dual AI system works continuously in real time towards each user’s natural balance point, combining clear speech with access to contextual sounds in optimal balance to support the brain’s natural way of making sense of sound. Dedicated Speech AI and Context AI features are always on, adapting in real time across all environments, all day. The result is a hearing aid that brings Veterans significantly closer to natural hearing, with our best-ever speech clarity and unparalleled access to contextual sounds.

Unmatched Audibility, Feedback Prevention and Connectivity

Oticon Reveal includes Reveal Optimizer™, Oticon’s industry-leading feedback prevention technology designed to help maintain precise, stable gain throughout the day so Dual AI can perform at its best. Reveal Optimizer delivers up to 25 dB more gain than top competitors,² enabling always-on Dual AI and ultimate fitting freedom.

The compact hearing solution’s 4D Sensor technology combines four types of sensor input— conversation activity, head movement, body movement and acoustic environment—to deliver superior personalization and reduced listening effort and listening stress.³

Oticon Reveal offers uncompromising connectivity for a seamless experience, from Bluetooth^® LE Audio to Auracast™ broadcast technology. Veterans can connect directly to their iPhone^®, iPad^® or Android™ devices. A new connectivity platform offers enhanced signal strength for best-ever stability and range while streaming.⁴ The reliable connectivity solution enables Veterans to move around more freely while taking hands-free calls and streaming audio. All-day rechargeable power supports consistent sound quality, connectivity and performance in all environments in real-time.⁵
