SOMERSET, NEW JERSEY – More than 2,000 hearing care professionals are anticipated to gather at the AAA 2024 + HearTech Expo, scheduled from April 17-20 in Atlanta, Georgia, with a focus on professional development and knowledge exchange.
Oticon, Inc. will contribute to these objectives by offering insights into their latest technology, Oticon Intent™, designed to enhance the quality of life for individuals with hearing loss. Additionally, Oticon will provide information about their practice support and business services, aimed at assisting hearing care professionals in navigating the competitive hearing healthcare landscape.
As a longstanding Gold Sponsor of the HearTech Expo Hall, Oticon will augment face-to-face interactions at their exhibit (#719) with educational sessions, demonstrations, and panel discussions led by Oticon’s subject matter experts.
“At Oticon, we believe hearing care professionals are the most essential element in hearing healthcare, with the expertise to tailor the best possible solution for each patient. Through our support of AAA 2024 + HearTech Expo, we underscore Oticon’s commitment to strengthening that expertise with innovative products to improve outcomes, strategic partnerships to build practice success, and thought leadership to drive the future of hearing care.”
–Oticon President Gary Rosenblum
At the Oticon exhibit, conference attendees can explore Oticon’s latest innovation, Oticon Intent, the world’s first hearing aid with 4D user-intent sensors. This technology allows the hearing aid to adapt sound processing seamlessly, based on the user’s changing listening needs, thereby enhancing communication in various situations. Oticon Intent represents a significant advancement in BrainHearing™ technology, enabling patients to participate in life more fully.
The exhibit will also feature the Audible Contrast Threshold (ACT™) test, a novel audiology tool that revolutionizes hearing-in-noise assessment. This standardized test enables hearing care professionals to quantify an individual’s real-world ability to hear in noise quickly and accurately, leading to more targeted counseling and personalized care.
Throughout the conference, the Oticon team will be available at the exhibit to address inquiries regarding Oticon Intent and the broader portfolio of Oticon BrainHearing technology. Visitors can also learn about Oticon’s strategic partnerships and customized programs, which offer business, practice, and marketing support.
For audiologists working with Veterans and active-duty military personnel, the Oticon Government Services team will showcase the complete range of Oticon hearing solutions available through the Veterans Administration hearing instrument contract.
Audiology students are encouraged to visit the Oticon exhibit to explore ongoing student programs designed to help them stay informed about the latest developments in the profession and develop essential skills for their careers.
