Demant Japan Oticon Hearing Aids announced on September 17 the launch of the "Oticon Zeal 3," a new option in the "Oticon Zeal" product line. It will be available at Oticon-authorized hearing aid dealers, opticians, and department stores nationwide. The price is open. The product series will include Zeal 1 and Zeal 3.
The Oticon Zeal 3 is an All-in-Ear, in-the-ear hearing aid belonging to the new "NXT" style category. Thanks to advanced encapsulation technology, it achieves both an inconspicuous appearance and smooth removal. Despite its compact design that fits within the ear, it features Oticon's proprietary BrainHearing-based, always-on, advanced AI sound processing.
In terms of features, it supports connectivity with digital devices such as smartphones, which was difficult to achieve with conventional IIC and CIC models. In addition to Made for iPhone, ASHA, and Bluetooth LE Audio, it also supports Auracast, the next-generation wireless communication standard, contributing not only to hearing assistance but also to improved daily convenience. Furthermore, it boasts a design that allows for immediate use after adjustment at the dealer, and its in-the-ear rechargeable battery offers all-day performance.
Product specifications include an in-the-ear nxt CIC R type, suitable for mild to severe hearing loss up to 75 dB. It comes in matte black, with the sales name "Sirius In-the-Ear Type" and medical device certification number 307AIBZX00004000. It will be available for purchase at Oticon-authorized hearing aid dealers, opticians, and department stores nationwide. Orders for the Zeal 1 in the same series began on March 24, while orders for the Zeal 3 will commence on September 17.
Oticon Hearing Aids is a brand founded in Denmark in 1904 and represents Demant. The new Zeal 3 is proposed as an option that lowers resistance and psychological barriers to hearing aids, making them easier to integrate naturally into daily life. For readers seeking a compact hearing aid that combines hearing support with everyday convenience, it will likely be a strong contender.
