Hearing Aid Brands
Oticon comes from humble beginnings. In fact, the company was born in 1904, out of its founder’s passion for helping his wife with hearing impairments live a full and enjoyable life. Since its inception way back in the early 1900s, Oticon has employed a “people first” promise. The company aims to put the people they serve at the forefront of all that they do.
Oticon hearing aids are able to “learn from” and intuitively adapt to your individual needs and unique lifestyle. The technology uses information from your other devices as well as your wearing habits to intuitively and instantly adjust to perfectly match your needs - in any environment.

A Canadian company, Unitron distances itself from the competition with its features which reduce background noise and promote ease of listening in noisy environments. They have also been noted for working closely with hearing professionals and placing a heavy emphasis on customer satisfaction through advanced fitting practices.
Having been in operation since 1964, the company has always had a focus on products and features that improve the lives of its users. Unitron developed a solid reputation in the 1980s for its powerful analog BTE (behind the ear) hearing aids for those with more severe hearing loss.
As we enter the age of digital hearing aids, there is more of an emphasis on the correct fitting software and programming practices, and this is where Unitron really excels. Their ‘Flex’ program lets users try out hearing aids for their unique type and level of hearing loss, further increasing the rates of user satisfaction.
