Hearing aid technology continues to evolve, and Oticon has once again raised the bar with the introduction of Oticon Own SI, a custom in-ear hearing aid built on the powerful Sirius platform. Designed to deliver exceptional sound clarity, enhanced noise suppression, and seamless adaptation to different listening environments, this new hearing aid is a game-changer for those seeking discreet yet highly advanced hearing solutions.
At The Hearing World, we always keep up with the latest advancements to ensure our patients get access to the best hearing technology available. In this blog, we’ll explore the key features of Oticon Own SI, how it improves hearing experiences, and what makes it stand out in the market.
Understanding the Three Levels of Oticon Own SI
Oticon Own SI is available in three different levels: Own SI 1, Own SI 2, and Own SI 3. Each model offers different levels of performance and features while sharing core Oticon technologies. The main differences between these models lie in their processing power, noise suppression capabilities, and fitting options.
Own SI 1 is the most advanced version, offering the highest level of speech clarity and noise suppression. It provides twelve decibels of neural noise suppression in difficult environments and six decibels in easy environments. It also includes the maximum number of sound enhancer configurations, processing channels, and the widest fitting bandwidth at ten kilohertz. Additionally, it has six sudden sound stabilizer configurations and includes clear dynamics and better-ear priority for spatial sound awareness.
Own SI 2 is a mid-tier option, offering strong performance in noise suppression and adaptive hearing technology. It provides ten decibels of neural noise suppression in difficult environments and four decibels in easy environments. The fitting bandwidth is eight kilohertz, with five sudden sound stabilizer configurations. While it includes better-ear priority for spatial awareness, it does not have the full capability of the premium model.
Own SI 3 is the more affordable option, designed for those who require essential hearing support in less complex environments. It provides eight decibels of neural noise suppression in difficult environments and two decibels in easy environments. The fitting bandwidth is eight kilohertz, with four sudden sound stabilizer configurations. Unlike the higher-end models, it does not include better-ear priority for spatial sound awareness or clear dynamics.
Key Similarities Across All Models
All Oticon Own SI models come equipped with deep neural network 2.0 for advanced sound processing. They all include MoreSound Intelligence 3.0, which scans and analyses sound environments five hundred times per second, and MoreSound Amplifier 3.0, which provides seamless adaptive gain control. MoreSound Optimizer is present across all models to eliminate feedback before it happens. Speech Rescue enhances high-frequency speech sounds, improving clarity in conversations. Each model also features IP68-rated dust and water resistance for durability and a custom-moulded fit with invisible-in-canal and completely-in-canal styles.
Which Oticon Own SI Model is Right for You?
Own SI 1 is ideal for individuals who frequently find themselves in challenging listening environments, as it provides the highest level of speech clarity and noise suppression. Those who need strong performance in a variety of situations but do not require the most advanced features may find Own SI 2 to be the best fit. For those with quieter lifestyles who need essential hearing support without advanced noise suppression, Own SI 3 offers a more budget-friendly choice.
