Oticon Reveal Now Available on VA Contract, Bringing Dual AI Technology to Veterans  The Hearing Review

The Dual AI-powered miniRITE solution joins an expanded Oticon portfolio on the Department of Veterans Affairs contract, offering VA audiologists new tools for fitting veterans with hearing loss. Oticon's Reveal hearing aid — powered by a Dual AI system that simultaneously processes speech and contextual sounds — is now available on the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) contract, the company announced Nov. 2. The discreet miniRITE solution is designed to provide real-time access to both clear speech and surrounding contextual sounds in optimal balance, guided by research into how the brain processes sound. The addition expands an already broad Oticon VA portfolio and gives VA audiologists access to the company's latest platform technology for their veteran patient population.

How the Dual AI System Works Oticon Reveal's Dual AI system consists of two AI technologies operating simultaneously. Speech AI continuously identifies and enhances clear speech, while Context AI preserves and balances contextual sounds that give speech meaning. Together, the two systems adapt in real time to the user's dynamic sound environment. According to Oticon, new research points to a unique "balance point" — an ideal combination of speech and contextual sounds where the brain works best. That balance point shifts continuously from environment to environment and varies from person to person. Reveal's Dual AI works toward each user's individual balance point
