Overall Rating: 3.9 / 5 (Very good)

Oticon is one of the strongest competitors in the hearing care industry due to its remarkably broad offering of hearing aid types and features. The technology behind the company's devices and accessories is some of the most advanced and provides users a great degree of customization and comfortability. The company's educational content is a great help for potential customers looking make an informed purchase decision. Moreover, Oticon offers more detailed information about its warranty and trial policies than other hearing aid companies.

Oticon Product Offerings

Hearing Aid Style - 4.5 / 5

Among the companies we reviewed, Oticon had one of the widest range of products and options. The company has seven current hearing aid models currently advertised on its website and a host of legacy products, as well. The company's newest hearing aids rely on cutting-edge technology to provide tinnitus relief, catch high-frequency sounds like "s" and "sh" and boost softer speech, among many other sought-after features. Product previews let customers see how the company's devices look on other users—something of a unique website feature. Oticon offers devices in a wide range of styles, such as MIC, CROS, and RITE. The devices come in many neutral and a few fashion colors. In addition, a number of wireless accessories and a convenient mobile app further enhance users' hearing experience.

Oticon Additional Services

Features and Price - 4 / 5

Oticon hearing solutions are based on the company's BrainHearing™ philosophy. That means they have been designed to support your brain’s natural process of making sense of sound.

Neither device pricing nor shipping information is available on Oticon'a website, as customers deal directly with health care professionals to acquire their hearing aids. Because the company's risk-free trial is administered at the discretion of these third-party professionals, Oticon does not offer information on their site about trial periods, either.

Battery Life - 3.5 / 5

Since Oticon offers such a wide range of products, battery life, charging methods, and charging times vary. You can contact Oticon by email to inquire about battery life and other details for its hearing aids. You can also connect with an Oticon authorized distributor through the company's website.

Oticon After-Sale Service

Customer Experience - 4 / 5

Oticon has a short, 6 question quiz to evaluate customers' hearing capacity. The quiz is not very thorough, but it's enough to advise users whether it would be wise to consider a visit with a hearing professional.

We found that specific information on each of the company's products was a little difficult to locate. It's there—but you'll have to dig several pages deep to find it. Oticon's website could be improved with a single pull-down menu that lets customers explore their hearing aid options easily, as well as a feature comparison chart.
Warranty Length
2 years
Warranty Coverage
Oticon hearing devices are covered by a limited warranty issued by the manufacturer for a period of 2 years and come with a year of protection against loss and damage. This limited warranty covers manufacturing and material defects in the hearing device itself, but not accessories such as batteries, tubing, earwax filters, etc. Problems arising from improper handling or care, excessive use, accidents, repairs made by an unauthorized party, exposure to corrosive conditions, physical changes in your ear, damage due to foreign objects entering the device, or incorrect adjustments are NOT covered by the limited warranty and may void it. Added to this comprehensive Oticon factory warranty is "Precise Hearing." This program gives you 45 days from the date you purchase your hearing aids to return them. If for any reason, you decide to return the undamaged hearing aids during the money-back period, the company will return the total price. However, the free-trial offer is administered by the hearing clinics that actually sell Oticon products at their discretion.

You should have a call in number for support. Your product manuals do not even touch all the variables and trouble shooting is very minimal. For something billed at 8200 dollars you should be able to get tech support.

Was content with my oticon hearing aid till just after the warranty ended. Volume control on right device stopped working followed by the left a month later. Cost for repair is $350 each. Strange that the devices malfunction as soon as warranty runs out. Is it just a coincidence???
