Oticon Zircon

Description

Background
As the second most popular hearing aid brand in the world, Oticon has captured the hearts of hearing aid consumers with its revolutionary “open” sound philosophy that sets it apart. The Zircon is Oticon’s most budget-friendly option. While it doesn’t offer all of the same features as Oticon’s flagship product, the Oticon Real, the Zircon is a respectable hearing aid for anyone on a budget.
What Makes Oticon Special
Oticon Zircon embraces a full soundscape, allowing you to hear speech while preserving an open soundscape around you. Imagine hearing the gentle rustling of leaves, the distant chirp of birds, and the soothing babble of a nearby stream. Zircon’s OpenSound Navigator prevents a closed off feeling, allowing you to enjoy the world around you. At the core of this incredible technology is Oticon’s innovative BrainHearing. This intelligent technology not only lets you hear your environment but also preserves spatial cues, giving you a natural and immersive listening experience.
Oticon understands the importance of convenience and connectivity in today’s fast-paced world. That’s why the Zircon offers customization and remote control adjustments via the Oticon ON app. Users appreciate how easy the app is to use, easily adjusting volume, change programs, or locate a lost hearing aid.
Our Take
Oticon technology is popular for its mellow, smooth sound quality. Premium products, such as the Oticon Real, are especially popular among musicians and audio enthusiasts. The Oticon Zircon is a solid choice for anyone who needs a budget-friendly hearing aid with Oticon’s underlying technology.
Zircon comes in two technologys (Zircon 1 and Zircon 2). Zircon 1 offers more support in background noise.
You may be wondering what the tradeoffs are when you opt for Zircon Vs. Oticon Real. Here are a few considerations:
Zircon does not use Oticon’s AI-powered neural network
Zircon does not include Sudden Sound Stabalizer (makes loud sounds more comfortable)
Zircon does not include enhance wind-noise prevention algorithms
Zircon does include rechargeable batteries, bluetooth streaming and an identical external design
The bottom line: Zircon is an entirely respectable hearing aid that would have been considered state-of-the-art just a few years ago
