New Oticon Platform 2024? Intent/Encanta

Are they available in the United States yet??

Thanks

Apparently not. February 27 has been given as a launch date.

Did you know anything new about 2024.1? It is for new HA Intent.

Like new firmware update etc.

P.S. It is link to .global version, but here it redirect to .com site… why?

wrong, the equipment is sold via inter acoustics, but also available in GSI and Medrex

the affinity with act runs a bit under 10K$.

I suspect the medrx cost a fraction of that.

ACT scores will probably be used by Phillips and bernafon

When I try to go to such links – after, in this instance, removing the spaces – I’m redirected after a second to www.oticon.com. Just me?

Understand you…but my new M3 iMac introduced last fall is set for LE Audio. New product upgrades certainly will come. They are aboard the train.

Time will tell. But Oticon Intent internal battery size is believe to be at 13 size.

New platform seems to be power hungry than usual.

I’m guessing the first units will be just in the small sealed RIC shape, but I don’t have rollout info on subsequent models.

Yeah, I can see how the accelerometer alone would suck up enough more juice on the aids to force Oticon to go to the 13 size battery.

For 138 posts we talk here about bells and whistles - DNN, 4D, BTLE, …
At the bottom a hearing aid is an amplifyer - with a mike and a speaker. So i did, what i use to do first - read the tech data sheet.
As i use the 85rite, i only compared those, but with the other horns it’s quite similar as they all depend on the microphones.
Measured with the ear simulator
my more’s have input noise of 21db [directional 29}
and the intent have 22db [directional 30]
Measured with the coupler
more: 17db [directional 27]
intent: 19db [diectional 30]
So they didn’t decrease the omnipresent hisss - they even create more noise.
Of course - a lot of people won’t notice it, especially those with a flat audiogram, but for me (the typical old-age deaf) it’s there, as soon as i even turn the simple controls to “brighter” or even adjust the curve, so that i can understand a lawyer hurrying down a contract.
I know, this is due to the silicon microphones that in turn are less sensitive to humidity (and are cheaper to manufacture ). But it shows that oticon unfortunately follows the trend to add software based “hitech” toys and neglect the underlying hardware.

Not really. Conventional micro accelerometers are piezo-ceramic and make volts when you bounce them.

No, modern micro accelerometers are all Silicon MEMS based. A 3D capacitive sensing structure that is co-packaged with a sophisticated controller die. So they do consume power, but they are very efficient drawing only µA of current at 1-3V.

Fair enough if they are using discrete MEMS devices: I haven’t seen the chassis (obviously) rather than sensing directly from the mic output, which you’re ’paying for’ already.

Just saw a couple of new videos.

And

Based on this new design I wonder if they can easily offer a non rechargeable model…
