Oticon Hearing Aids - Styles and Devices
When compared to Widex hearing aids and ReSound products, Oticon has similar prices. Just a reminder: Oticon doesn’t list prices online, so you’ll need to visit a local Oticon partner to learn how much these hearing aids cost. The devices are catered to people who have mild to profound hearing loss and desire top-of-the-line hearing support. Oticon also offers a hearing aid specifically designed for individuals with one-sided hearing loss. If you’re looking for simplified offerings or lower prices on hearing aids, Oticon is probably not the best fit. You may want to check out Eargo's hearing aids for straightforward, budget-friendly options that can be purchased online.
Oticon offers several styles of hearing aids depending on if you prefer BTE or in-the-ear (ITE) support. ITE aids have several variations, which we have outlined below. They are best for those who want discreet support and have mild to severe hearing loss. ITE aids are not ideal for older adults who have trouble with small devices or with dementia. Because they are so small, it can be difficult to adjust and remove the hearing aids. BTE ear styles are easy to adjust and best for those with mild to severe loss. Your hearing care professional can help you choose which style is best for your needs and ear anatomy. We’ll cover some of Oticon’s most popular hearing aids.

This powerful hearing aid is ideal if you experience severe to profound hearing loss. They provide optimal sound differentiation, giving you a full spectrum of the sound environment you’re in and the ability to focus on various speakers while still hearing other sounds around you.

The Oticon Ruby BTE has a special protective coating on it making it ideal for users who spend ample time outside.
Oticon CROS
For those who have single-sided deafness, the Oticon CROS provides a superb solution. By placing the hearing aid into the ear with poorer hearing, the device picks up sound coming into that ear and transmits it into the ear you can hear from. This TwinLink technology puts an end to the constant struggle of only being able to hear on one side. The hearing device is also equipped with Oticon’s OpenSound Navigator.
Oticon Opn ITE
One of the reasons why only one-in-seven older adults who need hearing aids wear one is because they don’t like the way they look.3 Oticon’s innovative Opn technology is packed into these small ITE hearing aids, great for those who prefer their hearing support to be hidden. These nearly-invisible hearing aids still provide optimal hearing support in a tiny device that fits in the ear canal or within the external ear. Your audiologist can help you determine which Opn ITE hearing aid is best for you depending on your ear anatomy and level of hearing loss.
Oticon Siya ITE
With excellent sound quality, wireless connectivity, noise reduction, and a choice of five colors, the Oticon Siya ITE offers great ITE hearing support for those with mild to severe hearing loss. Wearers can stream sound to their hearing aids from their favorite devices with Oticon’s Bluetooth technology. The hearing aids can also be turned into wireless headphones by syncing them to your mobile devices and can be controlled with the ON App through a smartphone. For those who want a hearing aid that works with all of their favorite high-tech devices, Oticon Siya ITE is a great option.
