Oticon Own 4 Hearing Aids Overview
🌟 An Introduction to Oticon Own 4 Hearing Aids
The Oticon Own 4 hearing aids, launching in October, are the first custom In-Ear (ITE) models featuring Deep Neural Network (DNN) AI technology, powered by the Polaris platform. This cutting-edge system helps the hearing aids recognize and understand a wide range of everyday sounds, providing a more natural and realistic listening experience by supporting the brain’s natural hearing process 🧠.
The Oticon Own 4 features MoreSound Amplifier technology, ensuring balanced amplification, preserving the clarity and contrast of important sounds. These hearing aids are perfect for those with a quieter lifestyle, offering fewer processing channels and features compared to higher-end models like Oticon Own 1 🏡.
Available in various discreet styles, including Invisible-in-the-Canal (IIC), they are custom-moulded to fit individual ear shapes for a personalized, discreet fit. While Bluetooth connectivity is available in some models, the Oticon Own 4 is not rechargeable ⚡, and users will have to choose between Bluetooth functionality and additional features like telecoil 🔊.
With a focus on miniaturisation, Oticon Own 4 hearing aids are designed to be nearly invisible, making them ideal for those seeking a discreet yet high-performance solution 🌟.
🎶 Oticon Own 4 Hearing Aid Technology
Launching in October, Oticon Own is the world’s first custom aid with onboard Deep Neural Network (DNN) AI technology, powered by the Polaris platform (also seen in Oticon More). This means the hearing aids are exceptional at recognizing and understanding everyday sounds (not just speech) thanks to a network built on 12 million sounds that Oticon has recorded globally 🌍.
Why is this important? 🧠 Simply put, we hear with our brains, not just our ears. Oticon Own hearing aids are designed to give you the most realistic listening experience that supports how your brain naturally processes sounds. Oticon calls this BrainHearing technology. It enhances the balance, clarity, and richness of every little sound around you, ensuring a clearer and more vibrant listening experience 🎶.
The MoreSound Amplifier ensures that your sound environment stays balanced and that all the important details and contrasts of sound are preserved 🔊. This is a unique approach to sound compression, quite different from conventional methods.
🧑🤝🧑 Who Will Benefit from Oticon Own 4 Hearing Aids?
The Oticon Own 4 hearing aids are entry-level in terms of performance. Even though they include BrainHearing technology, you’ll miss out on some core features compared to higher-end models. It’s important to speak with an audiologist to determine which features best suit your hearing needs 🔍.
These aids are ideal for those who spend most of their time in smaller social settings or prefer a quieter lifestyle 🏠. When comparing Oticon Own 4 to the Own 1, the 4 model offers fewer processing channels, fewer fitting bands, and a reduced percentage in the Spatial Balancer feature.
🎨 Oticon Own 4 Hearing Aid Fit
As users gravitate toward discreet models, Oticon has focused on miniaturisation since the release of Opn ITE options. This has resulted in smaller, more discreet ITE hearing aids that meet the needs of a variety of users 🦻.
Especially for the IIC model, Oticon Own 4 aids are invisible in 9 out of 10 ears, a claim supported by Oticon’s White Papers. This is made possible by smaller components, better software, and more refined production methods 🔬.
🎨 Oticon Own 4 Hearing Aid Models, Colours, and Performance Levels
There are five ITE hearing aid styles, five colours, and five performance levels. With this variety, you’re sure to find a style, performance, and colour that fits your unique needs 🎨. Because these are custom hearing aids, each one is tailored to your ear shape and canal characteristics, providing a discreet fit.

🤖 Why Choose Oticon Own 4 Hearing Aids?
Oticon Own 4 hearing aids are soon to be compared with models like Phonak Virto Paradise and Starkey Evolv AI, all ITE models priced similarly. However, Oticon Own stands out due to its advanced operating system, using DNN and sophisticated AI, requiring around 30% less listening effort than older models 🔍.
📱 Bluetooth Connectivity
Bluetooth connectivity is only available in the ITC and both ITE models. The IIC and CIC styles are non-wireless. The Oticon Own 4 supports direct streaming to both iPhone and Android devices, allowing for hands-free calls 📞.
None of the Oticon Own 4 models are rechargeable ⚡. When choosing between features and size, keep in mind that only the Bluetooth options can feature a telecoil, but not both ⚖️.
