Real sounds happen all around us Life is full of rich, complex, unpredictable sounds. They help us navigate our environment, remain aware of our surroundings, interact with others, and react when needed. To experience life in its fullest, patients need access to all meaningful sounds in general, not just speech.
 
RealSound Technology™ in Oticon Real is powered by the new Polaris R™ platform and includes new detectors for fast and precise processing of disruptive sounds, including wind and handling noise. Details of all sounds are processed automatically and precisely for optimal sound output to your patient. Polaris R includes an on-board Deep Neural Network (DNN) trained with 12 million real-life sound scenes.
 
New features include:
• SuddenSound Stabilizer
• Wind & Handling Stabilizer
 
NEW SuddenSound Stabilizer
The SuddenSound Stabilizer in Oticon Real instantly adapts amplification to keep both soft and loud sudden sounds available, balanced and comfortable, reducing disruption and distraction for you.
 
Features
• Powered by new de
tectors that seamlessly monitor the sound environment • Can handle more than 500,000 sudden sounds per day Performance Two recent studies prove that SuddenSound Stabilizer offers Oticon Real users improved speech clarity while reducing the listening effort that occurs in the presence of sudden sounds.
• 22% reduction in listening effort*
• Catches and processes 70% more sudden sounds than technology in Oticon More™.
 
NEW Wind & Handling Stabilizer
With its Wind & Handling Stabilizer, Oticon Real selects the microphone with the cleanest input, prevents disruptive sound from entering the system, and attenuates remaining noise in affected frequencies, so patients can stay sharp in the real world.
 
Features
• Double-patented technology detects and cleans up wind and handling noise 500 times per second Performance managing wind noise.  Oticon Real was tested 2 top competitors at wind speeds of 6 m/s to measure the effectiveness of Wind & Handling Stabilizer.
• Wind noise: Competitor 1 was 22% louder than Oticon Real
• Speech clarity: Competitor 2 was 17% less clear than Oticon Real.
Performance managing handling noise when tested against 2 top competitors in a study in which a finger touched the microphones, Oticon Real significantly outperformed.
 
MoreSound Intelligence™ 2.0
A quantum leap in sound scene processing: MoreSound Intelligence 2.0 processes sound in a way that results in a more natural representation of all sounds in a clear, complete and balanced sound scene. The addition of the new Wind & Handling Stabilizer innovation ensures the best possible input for sound processing in MoreSound Intelligence 2.0 by preventing wind and handling noise from entering the system.
Scan and analyze: The sound scene is scanned 500 times per second, which results in a precise analysis of all sounds and the complexity of the surroundings. The user’s personal listening preferences, as set in Oticon Genie 2, are applied to establish a clear target for how to handle sound scenes.
Spatial Clarity Processing: Because placing a hearing aid behind the ear eliminates the natural ability to utilize natural spatial cues provided by the pinna, Spatial Clarity Processing recreates these natural cues with Virtual Outer Ear. Virtual Outer Ear consists of three different true-to-life pinna simulations that can be chosen based on the user's spatial sound needs. In difficult environments, Spatial Clarity Processing utilizes Spatial Balancer to quickly balance distinct sound sources in the environment, even when they are moving.
Neural Clarity Processing: Classic signal processing in hearing aids was based on algorithms written and developed by engineers. The rules they wrote represented their best estimations of how to process sound data. Neural Clarity Processing is different. With it, sound is processed by a Deep Neural Network (DNN). The DNN works more like the brain because it learned through experience, and uses that knowledge to process sound. This makes the DNN capable of creating contrast between identified sounds and suppressing unwanted noise.
