Our inspiration

When Hans Demant founded Oticon in 1904, he was driven by a profound desire to help his hard-of-hearing wife and others with similar problems lead a better life.

Inspired by this humanistic philosophy, the people of Oticon continue to focus on developing practical solutions that make living with a hearing loss so much easier.

Our philosophy

We believe it takes more than technology to create the best solutions. That's why we put the individual needs and wishes of hard-of-hearing people first when developing new technologies.

Whether it’s audiology, technology, hearing aid fitting systems, consumers or just the way we interact with hearing care professionals, our philosophy remains the same:

Our mission

The professionals we work with across the globe and the specialists at Oticon share a common goal: To assure that our hearing solutions provide the highest possible satisfaction.
To accomplish our mission, we continuously:
- Develop innovative and effective solutions
- Establish and build strong partnerships
- Share knowledge with professionals and hearing aid users

Innovation

To develop innovative solutions, people need space, time to think and an opportunity to share their views. At Oticon they are allowed all three.

In an open environment, multi-disciplinary teams explore new opportunities in mechanics, audiology, digital signal processing, acoustics and electronics. Our specialists collaborate with research institutes, PhD students and scientists from across the globe.

Together we create and test new ideas. Some concepts are modified or revised, and others contribute to development of new, groundbreaking products.
