Does Oticon have a future?

Oticon is just a part of the parent company. I have been using Oticon aids for 15 years. Oticon has been around close to 100 years. I don’t see it going away. The Oticon VA reps I have talked to say they are strong and are still working hard to bring out new products. Design and development isn’t a has procedure it is slow and deliberate, I know I was with a number of companies that did development. I don’t understand the hearing aid companies, but companies in general put their research resources where the largest possible return is. And that for hearing aid wearer ls is the mild, moderate, severe and early stages of profound hearing loss. Yes there is a real need for the worst and most profound hearing loss. But the numbers aren’t there for all hearing aid companies to compete in that area. I for one would consider CI if I was that hard of hearing. Yes there are real possibility that it would not help or that I wouldn’t be a candidate. I don’t see Oticon leaving the market, the INTENT aids have only been out about a year. Oticon did just update their ITE aids and more than likely there will be updates or replacements of the INTENT aids in about the next year to year and a half. The push for AI in everything is only a marketing in my opinion. It is expensive, battery usage heavy, that and the push for Bluetooth connectivity is needed but shouldn’t be take over from the repurpose of hearing aids. I for one just want to understand what someone is saying to me face to face. Yes i use Bluetooth, it is my only way to hear a phone call. But anymore calls are mostly replaced by messaging.

That’s a really selective range pick on the shares there. Show the long term. I suspect the DeMant business is pricing in the potential for a further trade war: the moron saying about taking over Greenland and a contraction of its US market due to the value of dollar sales falling.

Plus you seem to have a problem with them because they aren’t listening to you on model upgrades.

You all should know that the US was considering the annexation of Canada in the 19th century. The US itself was created out of the British North America, so it would seem logical that the US would continue the push for the displacement of the British Empire out of the North America.

Annexation Bill of 1866

The Annexation Bill of 1866 was a bill introduced on July 2, 1866, but never passed in the United States House of Representatives. It called for the annexation of British North America and the admission of its provinces as states and territories in the Union. The bill was sent to committee but never came back, was never voted upon, and did not become law. The bill never came to the United States Senate. The bill authorized the President of the United States to, subject to the agreement of the...

But the US doesn’t need to acquire Greenland. Greenland is part of Denmark, which is a close US security ally. The US already has military hardware on the northwest coast of Greenland.

Unfortunately what despot wants despot usually gets!
