Oticon Own

The ITC, ITE HS, and ITE FS models do have hands-free calling but it requires iPhone 11 or newer, running on iOS 15.2 or later. With these models it is an entirely hands-free phone call experience, as the push-button on these models will allow you to answer, reject, and hangup phone calls. If you any any other phone, you can only have hands-free calling via Oticon's ConnectClip accessory. The ConnectClip accessory can be clipped to your shirt or worn on a neckloop, and that has a microphone on it that will pick up your voice for the caller, allowing you to keep the phone in your pocket/purse, etc.

No. To stream audio from the TV you'll need the TV Adapter 3.0

The ITC and ITE models are are Made for iPhone, which means they can connect directly with iPhones to stream music, phone calls, and more. Own is also compatible with the new Android protocol, Audio Streaming for Hearing Aids (ASHA), allowing direct streaming from select Android devices with Android 10 and Bluetooth 5.0. If your phone isn't directly compatible with Own, you can still get Bluetooth functionality via the ConnectClip accessory so long as you have the ITC or ITE models.

A few hours before the battery dies, you'll hear three steady beeps. This will usually happen a few times. Then, right before the battery dies, you'll hear four descending tones.

Battery life will vary depending on several factors. In general, the 312 battery models will last 3.5-7 days, and the size 10 battery will last 2-4 days.

For most people, no. But if you have poor dexterity, we'd recommend considering one of the larger 312 battery models (ITC OR ITE) and not the size 10 models (IIC OR CIC).

You can control the volume and program of this hearing aid using the onboard pushbutton or Remote Control 3.0. If you get the ITC, ITE HS, or ITE FS model, you can also use the Oticon ON app to control background noise reduction and tinnitus relief sounds.

To turn the hearing aid off, simply open the battery door. When the battery door is closed again, the hearing aid will power on.
