Why patients choose the Intent
It notices what you are trying to hear
4D user-intent sensors
A world first: the Intent reads your head and body movement, the environment and the conversation around you — and shifts its support as your intentions change.
Built for the noisy moments
Conversation in noise is the number-one challenge of hearing loss. Oticon’s BrainHearing approach gives your brain the full sound scene, not a processed slice of it.
Properly connected
Hands-free calls from iPhone, iPad and Mac, and direct streaming from select Android devices and Windows computers — plus nine colours, including Sky Blue.
Choose your technology level
Three levels, honestly explained
Intent 1
Restaurants, celebrations, fast-moving group chat — the noisiest rooms are where the Intent 1’s full sensor-driven support earns its keep.
The tech: Oticon’s flagship level — the finest resolution of their 4D sensor-driven support.
£3,695 per pair
Intent 2
Family meals, meetings and busy weekends handled smoothly, a step below the flagship’s fine detail.
The tech: High-level Intent processing with sensor-driven support.
£3,495 per pair
Intent 3
Natural, comfortable hearing for smaller gatherings, TV and one-to-ones — the Intent experience at its entry price.
The tech: Essential Intent processing — the same platform, simpler noise handling.
£3,295 per pair
And honestly: if a simpler level covers your world, that is exactly what we will tell you — the trial decides, not us.

“What impresses me about the Intent is what patients stop doing: leaning in, repositioning, asking for repeats. The sensors pick up what you are trying to do before you consciously do it — in a busy room that feels less like a feature and more like relief.”
