Oticon Zeal

The Oticon Zeal represents a new category of hearing technology that combines discretion with complete functionality. This rechargeable in-ear hearing aid delivers premium sound quality powered by second-generation AI processing while remaining nearly invisible when worn. Unlike traditional custom devices that require multiple visits, Zeal offers same-day fitting flexibility with instant-fit domes or custom micro molds based on your preferences. The innovative encapsulation technology protects internal components while enabling modern features like Bluetooth streaming and all-day battery life in a compact design.

Discreet Design with Complete Features

Oticon Zeal fits comfortably in the ear canal with a visibility profile comparable to traditional completely-in-canal devices. The unique wrap-around antenna serves multiple functions: it acts as a retention arm, extraction cord, and Bluetooth antenna. After about a day of use, this flexible component naturally conforms to your ear shape for a secure fit. The encapsulation technology fully seals electronic components in protective resin, similar to methods used in pacemakers, providing IP68-rated protection against moisture and debris.

AI-Powered Sound Processing

Zeal incorporates BrainHearing technology, which supports how your brain naturally processes sound by providing access to all relevant sounds around you. The second-generation Deep Neural Network (DNN 2.0) operates continuously to enhance speech clarity in noisy environments. Trained on millions of real-world sound samples and analyzing sound across 256 channels, this AI system can reduce background noise by up to 12 dB while maintaining natural sound quality. The single-microphone design leverages your ear's natural acoustics combined with advanced DNN processing to deliver approximately 6 dB of signal-to-noise ratio improvement.
