Adapto - The First Hearing Aid That Understands People - Oticon

How can Adapto change your life?
Three things make Adapto special. Firstly, it provides maximum speech
understanding without comprising on comfort. Secondly, it makes your voice
sound more natural and eliminates the whistling noises that have always been
an unfortunate side effect of wearing hearing aids.And finally, it matches your
lifestyle and the way you personally perceive and process sound.
Adapto achieves these objectives through three revolutionary innovations: the
VoiceFinder, OpenEar Acoustics, and Client Focused Fitting. Let’s look at the
benefits of these, one by one.
Voicefinder
More Speech
Of all the sounds in our environment,
the one guaranteed to capture our
attention is speech. It’s our primary form
of communication, and we rely on it to
function optimally, both professionally
and socially.
When you’re around other people, you
want to be absolutely confident that you
don’t miss a thing. You don’t want to
miss a child calling. You don’t want to
miss vital words in sentences. And you
don’t want to have to ask people to
repeat themselves.
That’s why Adapto is programmed to
automatically detect - and protect -
speech, using a unique digital system
called the VoiceFinder.
In much the same way as the human
brain, the VoiceFinder constantly monitors
your environment. As soon as it
detects the presence of speech it makes
millions of subtle adjustments to make
words come through clearly. So you
have a much better chance of catching
the start of a new conversation or an
important message - even in noisy
places.
Less Fatigue
Although it’s important to be able to
understand speech, it’s a process that
demands a lot of effort. Consequently,
whenever you experience periods of
quiet, it’s important to relax and rest your
brain so that you’re ready to concentrate
again as soon as people start talking.
The VoiceFinder helps you do this.
When no one is speaking it smoothly
switches to a more comfortable setting -
rather like tinted sunglasses that automatically
darken as the light increases.
With Adapto, the noisier it becomes, the
harder the VoiceFinder works to protect
you from annoyance and fatigue.
So what does this dual functionality
ultimately offer? At the end of each day
you will have heard and understood
more, and you will be less tired from the
constant bombardment of irrelevant
noise. Put the two together and the total
is plain to see: a better quality of life.
Not only for you, but also for your family
and friends.
