In support of their BrainHearing™ philosophy (1), the More range is designed to give the listener more of their sound environment. In order to get more out of your hearing, you need more sounds to work with. Using MoreSound Intelligence, the entire sound scene is scanned 500 times per second, the result - a complex but precise analysis of the environment (2).
Balancing these environmental sounds is what your brain does naturally, and now, so does the Oticon More™ . Focusing and taking in the most meaningful sounds as well as speech (3), it delivers a more natural and balanced hearing result.
With this new launch comes a new platform; Polaris™. We have compiled a list of all the main features of this new platform:
- 16 x more capacity than the previous Velox S™ platform to run advanced algorithms.
- Industry-leading and intelligently used 64-channel processing.
- 2 x more computation speed and capacity than the Velox S™ platform.
- The use of a Deep Neural Network (DNN) (An artificial intelligence software, trained with over 12 million real-life sounds scenes. The DNN mimics how the brain functions when hearing sounds)(4).
- Double the precision of the main mid-high frequency bands (1.5kHz - 5kHz) in comparison to the successful Velox S™ platform.
- In comparison to previous success of the Oticon Opn S™ range, the Oticon More™ delivers 30% more sound to the brain.
- Provides direct streaming to both iPhone® and Android™ devices, including phone calls, music and more.
- RemoteCare - allows adjustments to be made from wherever you are. Connecting you to your audiologist from the comfort of your home.
- Rechargeable.
