Oticon
Brand Profile: Oticon Hearing Aids
Oticon is the flagship hearing-aid brand of William Demant Holding A/S, one of world’s largest manufacturers of hearing aids. Oticon got its start in 1902 when Hans Demant, whose wife was hearing-impaired, was inspired by the Danish-born Crown Princess Alexandra, who wore a hearing aid for her coronation as the Queen of England. Demant traveled from Denmark to England to buy the same type of device and became so enamored of the potential of hearing aids that he began importing reselling hearing aids to Denmark for resale. His son William eventually began manufacturing hearing aids under the Oticon name.
Today Oticon is one of the world’s leading hearing-aid brands. In 2010 Oticon introduced the Agil family of hearing aids as the premium-performance flagship of its product line. Based on a new speech processing platform, the new hearing aids improve comprehension of speech in noisy situations. Its wireless Speech-Guard platform provided a two-fold improvement over its previous digital signal processing system, and seamless integration with Oticon’s Connectline wireless assistive listening devices makes the new Agil family one of the highest-performing hearing aids on the market.
