Oticon Zeal Hearing Aids in Centennial
Many people avoid hearing aids because they're concerned about how visible they'll be. The Oticon Zeal addresses this concern by combining near-invisible discretion with the advanced features you need for modern life. This in-the-ear hearing aid delivers premium sound quality, reliable connectivity, and all-day battery life without compromising on performance or comfort.
Advanced Technology in a Discreet Package
The Oticon Zeal represents a new category of hearing technology that eliminates the traditional tradeoffs of small hearing aids. At The Audiology METHOD, we offer this innovative solution to help you hear clearly in challenging environments while maintaining the discreet appearance many people prefer.
Oticon Zeal delivers clear, balanced sound through second-generation Deep Neural Network (DNN 2.0) processing and BrainHearing technology. The design includes a unique wrap-around antenna that enables seamless Bluetooth connectivity while serving as both a retention arm and extraction cord. With up to 20 hours of rechargeable battery life, you can stay connected throughout your day without worrying about power.
What Makes Oticon Zeal Different
Advanced AI Sound Processing
Oticon Zeal features always-on DNN 2.0 processing trained on millions of real-world sound samples. This AI-driven technology provides up to 6 dB signal-to-noise ratio improvement while maintaining natural sound quality. The system analyzes sound in 256 channels before optimizing it through 15 channels, giving you clear speech understanding without aggressive filtering that can make environments sound artificial.
BrainHearing Technology
Oticon's BrainHearing approach recognizes that you hear with your brain, not just your ears. Zeal gives your brain access to the full sound scene, allowing it to process sound more naturally with less effort. This technology helps you stay connected to important sounds while maintaining your awareness of your surroundings.
Discreet Design with Full Features
Zeal fits almost invisibly in your ear while delivering the advanced features typically found only in larger hearing aids. The device uses innovative encapsulation technology that fully protects internal components from moisture and debris, earning an IP68 durability rating. This manufacturing approach allows Oticon to pack rechargeable batteries, wireless connectivity, and premium processing into a compact form.
Connectivity and Modern Features
Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast
Oticon Zeal provides direct streaming to both iOS and Android devices using Bluetooth LE Audio. You can enjoy phone calls, music, podcasts, and other audio streamed directly to your hearing aids. The device is Auracast-enabled right now, giving you immediate access to public broadcast audio systems in venues like theaters, airports, and places of worship without waiting for future firmware updates.
Seamless Device Pairing
Google Fast Pair simplifies connecting your hearing aids to Android phones and tablets through a single-screen interface in the Oticon Companion app. For older devices that don't support LE Audio natively, Oticon's Easy LE Adapter provides a simple USB solution for streaming from computers and tablets.
Oticon Companion App
The Oticon Companion app gives you direct control over your hearing experience. Adjust volume, treble, and bass settings, switch between programs, and access the integrated Auracast Assistant for connecting to public broadcasts. The app also includes a unique wrap-around antenna design that maintains reliable connectivity by staying in contact with your skin.

Fitting Flexibility and Comfort
Oticon Zeal offers fitting options similar to receiver-in-canal hearing aids, giving you flexibility in how you get started. You can begin with instant-fit domes for same-day fittings, or choose custom micro-molds for a more personalized acoustic fit. The ability to start with domes and transition to custom molds later means you don't have to wait for traditional impression-based fittings.
The hearing aid accommodates hearing losses up to approximately 65 dB HL with instant-fit domes, extending to around 75 dB HL with custom micro-molds. Zeal uses the same domes as Oticon Intent, making it easy to find the right fit for your ear canals. In fitting assessments, Zeal was not visible or only slightly visible in 94% of ears where there was a good fit.
The rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 20 hours of use with typical streaming. Quick charging gives you 4 hours of use with just 15 minutes of charging, or 8 hours with 30 minutes. The compact charger holds enough power for three full charges when you're away from home.
