Totally Invisible Hearing Aid

Starkey Laboratories, Inc., one of the worlds leading hearing technology companies, is excited to introduce the S Series iQ OtoLens, the worlds first invisible-in-the-canal (IIC) hearing aid. OtoLens is a custom-molded hearing aid built using Starkeys Comfort Fit process and lives in the second bend of the ear, meaning that it is truly 100% invisible with minimal occlusion. OtoLens features the same technology and digital signal processing as Starkeys leading product family, S Series iQ, and provides 35dB of gain which allows professionals to fit patients with moderate to severe hearing loss.
“We are excited to provide a solution to those who say they will never be caught wearing a hearing aid,” said Jerry Ruzicka, President of Starkey. “OtoLens is a breakthrough in advanced digital modeling and micro-chip packaging. These innovations have allowed us to minimize overall size and bring the market an entirely new generation of hearing instruments incorporating the high performance features of our advanced Drive Architecture.”
OtoLens takes advantage of Starkeys Voice iQ, a new noise reduction and speech preservation system that is so fast and smart it reduces noise between syllables of speech. Voice iQ, developed over three years at the Starkey Hearing Research Center in Berkeley, Calif., uses a two-part algorithm that calculates appropriate gain on a per channel basis. The result is unprecedented sound quality, ease of listening and intelligibility of speech in noise.
The device also includes other S Series iQ features including PureWave Feedback Eliminator which allows for venting, in addition to industry-leading feedback cancellation. OtoLens features T Remote enabling patients to adjust their IICs volume or memory. OtoLens allows the patients to change its size 10 battery on their own, without needing additional tools or visits to their hearing care professional.
