New Hearing Device Designed to Boost Clarity and Style

New Hearing Device Designed to Boost Clarity and Style

Leading hearing aid manufacturer Oticon today introduced a groundbreaking hearing device designed to change forever the perception of hearing aids among the 50-plus generation.

Called Oticon Delta, the miniature hearing device with its trendy triangular shape and stylish colours appears to have more in common with tiny high-tech communication devices or cool fashion accessories than traditional hearing aids.

Fashion has never been associated with hearing aids before.

Many people still imagine "big beige bananas" behind the ear when thinking of hearing aids.

This is certainly not the case with Delta which comes in seventeen different brushed metallic colour styles, ranging from "Cabernet Red" and "Artic Blue" to "Racing Green" and "Wildlife", that give this sleek and sexy hearing device a new attitude for a new generation of hearing aid users.

"For Delta, we wanted a design concept that would not relate to traditional hearing aids - a unique 'sensory-assistive device' to contradict pre-conceived notions of what it means to have a hearing aid.

The resulting combination of fashionable looks and unsurpassed technology makes Delta a triangular "star" on the hearing aid horizon," noted Ross Harwell.
