Oticon recently introduced the Intiga i, an “invisible-in-the-canal” style hearing aid. It is intended for first time users of hearing aids who want a hearing instrument which is discreet and sounds natural. It fits deeply in the ear canal, similar to the Lyric hearing aid, but is removable by the user. The Intiga i combines advanced audiological features and the benefits of the natural acoustics of the external ear for a clear and comfortable sound experience. Oticon’s exclusive SpeechGuard technology provides access to vital speech cues to improve speech understanding and reduce listening effort in even the most difficult listening situations.

Hearing Aid Maintenance Tips:
- Wipe your hearing aid and ear mold each night with a soft cloth.
- Turn off your hearing aid each night and leave the battery compartment open.
- Avoid Heat. Do not wear when using a hair dryer. Do not place the aid in direct sunlight or in areas of extreme heat.
- Be cautious of spending long periods in the cold. Your hearing aid may lose battery power.
- Protect your instrument from moisture. If it gets wet, let it air dry naturally.
- Always handle your device with care!
New, digital-technology hearing aids offer more features than ever before. They also offer the most natural sound quality available. While hearing aids allow you to enjoy life more fully, there’s also a period of adjustment that can be frustrating for first-time users. Hearing aids take some getting used to, but by knowing what to expect, you should be acclimated in no time!
New Sounds
Not only do your ears need to get used to understanding the new sounds, but your brain does too. The sounds you hear may seem unnatural and overwhelming for the first few days because of this. If the sounds you hear are painful or confusing, there may be something wrong with your aid and you should call your doctor as soon as possible.
Something in the ear
It definitely takes some time to get used to having something in your ear. The most important thing is that the hearing aids fit well. If the ear mold of a behind-the-ear model or the shell of an in-the-ear model does not fit tightly in the ear canal, the hearing aid may whistle.
Hearing Your Own Voice
While first wearing hearing aids, you may think your voice sounds unnatural. It also takes time getting used to sounds like chewing, and the feeling of having “plugged” ears.
Be Patient
Getting used to hearing aids takes time. For millions of people, the results are worth the effort.
