Oticon Zeal - Rechargeable CIC with Bluetooth
What are the highlights of Oticon Zeal hearing aids?
The Oticon Zeal NXT comes loaded with the best features that you can find in other hearing aids on the market. A short list of Oticon Zeal's features is:
Same-day fitting and flexibility: Oticon Zeal can be fitted with the same range of Oticon present open, closed and power domes. This enables a quick fit in a single clinic visit. I love the flexibility that they can also take a custom micromould for people with irregular, very large ears or those who have experienced retention issues with hearing aids.
Discreet and comfortable: This is something you'd better check in the clinic, especially the antenna, which may be noticeable. I compared the Oticon Zeal NXT with Signia Silk and Rexton Reach inoX CIC, and they are pretty close in terms of dimensions. If your ear canals are medium to large, then you should have no problem fitting Oticon Zeal NXT CIC hearing aids in and have them almost invisible.
Next-generation AI: I am impressed to see that the processor used in Oticon Zeal is exactly the same chip which is used in Oticon Intent. The AI sound processing technology delivers up to 12 dB noise suppression and AI-driven speech clarity enhancement up to 6 dB.
Superior connectivity: Oticon Zeal supports ASHA Bluetooth for connectivity to iPhone and Android mobile phones, as well as LE Audio and Auracast. This offers the utmost sound quality and battery savings. Oticon Zeal does not support Telecoil. I think we can compromise on that one. Also, Oticon Zeal is the first hearing aid enabled for Google's Fast Pair: users can pair their hearing aid effortlessly with Android phones. Once paired, their connection is automatically recognised across other Android devices logged into the same Google account. Oticon is targeting the Android mobile sector with such a move.
Excellent battery life: It takes only 2 hours to go from empty to full charge. A fully charged Oticon Zeal offers 20 hours of run time with 4 hours of streaming. The charging technology enables quick power-ups, providing 4 hours of use with just 15 minutes of charging, or 8 hours of use with a 30-minute charge.
Double-tap function: A double-tap on Oticon Zeal can be programmed to change the manual programs or change the volume. I wish it could pause and resume streaming and answer phone calls instead. But that's me.

Reviews
I’ve been very pleased with my Oticon Zeal hearing aids. They are extremely comfortable and unobtrusive—I’ve even walked into the shower several times while wearing them!
The voice quality is excellent and very natural, making conversations comfortable and clear.
My only criticism is that the background noise reduction could be better in very noisy environments, where it can sometimes be difficult to focus on conversations.
Overall, I’m very happy with the Zeals and would highly recommend it
