Oticon Xceed S1 Hearing Aids Overview

Launched in August 2019, the Oticon Xceed S1 hearing aids are a premium offering designed for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss. These hearing aids deliver unmatched power, boasting an impressive 146dB SPL and 87dB full-on gain, powered by Oticon’s Velox S platform, making them the world’s most powerful hearing aids. They are designed to help wearers gain more access to speech in challenging listening environments, including noisy settings, and provide a richer, 360-degree sound experience.

The Xceed S1 replaces Oticon’s previous superpower hearing aid, the Dynamo, and is part of the Oticon Opn S family, which is well-known for its open sound experience and innovative technology.

What Do Oticon Xceed S1 Hearing Aids Look Like?

These hearing aids are not small, as expected for superpower hearing aids. However, the Oticon Xceed is smaller than many of its competitors in this category. Available in seven different colors, the Xceed comes in two styles:

• Superpower (BTE SP): For moderate to severe hearing loss.
• Ultra-power (BTE UP): For severe to profound hearing loss.

Oticon offers the Xceed range in three technology levels:

1. Xceed S1 (Premium)
2. Xceed S2 (Mid-range)
3. Xceed S3 (Entry-level)

This gives you flexibility in choosing the right option based on your hearing needs and preferences.

Main Features of Oticon Xceed S1 Hearing Aids 🌟

1. OpenSound Navigator

• This breakthrough technology provides 360-degree sound that continuously scans, prioritizes, and maintains speech from all directions.
• Unlike traditional directional microphones that only focus on speech from one direction (in front of you), OpenSound Navigator enables you to hear speech clearly no matter where it’s coming from, creating a natural, balanced sound in all environments.
• You can also use the OpenSound Booster (via the ON App) for additional sound clarity when needed.

2. OpenSound Optimiser

• One of the key challenges with superpower hearing aids is feedback. Traditional feedback solutions can cause discomfort, especially for individuals with severe to profound hearing loss.
• The OpenSound Optimiser prevents feedback before it happens by analyzing the incoming sound at a rate of 56,000 times per second.
• This allows the hearing aid to maintain stability without having to reduce gain, providing up to 6dB more gain, which results in 20% more speech clarity for the wearer.

3. Noise Reduction

• The OpenSound Navigator excels at reducing extreme background noise in all directions, even when speech and noise are coming from the same direction.
• This feature ensures that speech is clear and that background noise is minimized, enhancing the clarity of conversations and improving overall sound quality in both quiet and noisy environments.

4. Wireless Connectivity 📱

Oticon has incorporated several features to ensure that you can connect your Xceed S1 hearing aids to a wide range of devices for better convenience and performance:

• ConnectClip:
  • Enables hands-free phone calls and streaming of music directly to your hearing aids via Made for iPhone and other smartphones.
  • It also acts as a remote microphone to improve speech understanding from a distance and supports video calls via Bluetooth for seamless communication.
  • You can easily control your hearing aids through the remote-control function of the ConnectClip.
• TV Adapter:
  • Streams sound directly from your TV to your hearing aids for a customized listening experience.
  • The TV Adapter offers a long-range connection of up to 45 feet, allowing you to hear TV audio at a comfortable volume without disturbing others.
• ON App:
  • The ON App offers complete control of your hearing aids using your smartphone.
  • You can manage your hearing aids, control other smart devices in your home (like your thermostat), and even get notified when your battery is low, all from your phone.
