Oticon Zeal

Oticon Zeal represents a new category of hearing technology that eliminates the traditional compromise between discretion and performance. This nearly invisible hearing aid combines advanced AI processing, rechargeable power, and modern Bluetooth connectivity in a design so compact that most people won't notice you're wearing it.

The First Complete Invisible Hearing Aid

Oticon Zeal delivers what was previously thought impossible: a nearly invisible hearing aid with all the features of modern technology. The device sits discreetly in your ear canal with only a slim antenna visible along the outer ear, making it practically undetectable in everyday situations.

Testing on over 1,500 ears showed that Zeal was not visible in nearly three-quarters of cases from typical viewing angles. For 94% of good fits, the device was either completely invisible or only slightly visible. This level of discretion addresses one of the primary concerns that keeps people from seeking hearing help.

The innovative encapsulation technology makes this possible by sealing all electronics in protective resin, eliminating hollow spaces and allowing for a more compact, durable design. This breakthrough manufacturing approach protects components from moisture and debris while creating the smallest possible footprint.

Advanced AI Sound Processing That's Always On

Oticon Zeal is powered by the Sirius chip, the same advanced platform used in Oticon Intent, delivering premium sound quality in a tiny package. The second-generation Deep Neural Network (DNN 2.0) provides always-on AI processing that delivers clear, natural sound throughout your day.

Key sound features include:

• BrainHearing technology that supports how your brain naturally processes sound by providing access to the full sound scene
• MoreSound Intelligence 3.0 with AI-driven processing trained on millions of noisy speech samples
• Up to 6 dB signal-to-noise ratio improvement for better speech understanding in challenging environments
• DNN 2.0 noise reduction that can reduce background noise by up to 12 dB while keeping sound natural

The single-microphone design leverages the natural pinna effect of your ear for spatial awareness, combined with sophisticated AI noise reduction to enhance speech clarity without aggressive filtering that can make environments sound artificial.

Rechargeable Power and Modern Connectivity

Despite its compact size, Oticon Zeal delivers up to 20 hours of battery life with typical streaming use. A 15-minute quick charge provides 4 hours of use, while a 30-minute charge gives you 8 hours of power. The portable SmartCharger holds up to three full charges for use on the go.

The unique wrap-around antenna serves triple duty as a retention arm, extraction cord, and Bluetooth LE Audio antenna. After about a day of wear, the flexible antenna naturally molds to your ear for a secure, comfortable fit while maintaining the skin contact needed for reliable wireless connectivity.

Bluetooth capabilities include:

• Direct audio streaming from iOS and Android devices
• Hands-free calling with compatible smartphones
• Connection to tablets, PCs, and televisions
• Auracast technology for public venue audio (available now, no firmware update needed)
• Control through the Oticon Companion app for volume, treble, bass, and program adjustments

Same-Day Fitting Flexibility

Oticon Zeal offers fitting options that work with your schedule and preferences. The device can be fitted the same day using domes that are compatible with Oticon Intent, eliminating the traditional multi-visit process required for custom hearing aids.

You can start with a dome fitting and transition to a custom micro mold later if needed, or begin with a custom mold from the start. This flexibility gives you and your audiologist options based on your specific ear canal shape, hearing loss configuration, and personal preferences.

The fitting range accommodates moderate to moderately severe hearing loss with instant-fit domes (around 55-65 dB HL), extending into the low end of severe losses (up to 75 dB HL) with custom micro molds. Oticon designed Zeal to fit binaurally with a dome for 2 out of 3 people, making it a viable option for many individuals seeking discreet hearing solutions.
