About the Product
What Makes Oticon Zeal Different
For years, hearing aid wearers have been forced to choose. Pick a small in-ear device and lose Bluetooth streaming, rechargeability, and high-end sound processing. Or pick a behind-the-ear device and accept a visible component on your ear. Oticon Zeal is the first prescription hearing aid to bring premium technology into a near-invisible in-ear form factor.
Zeal runs on Oticon’s flagship Sirius chip with Deep Neural Network 2.0 sound processing, the same engine inside the Oticon Intent, their top-tier behind-the-ear hearing aid. The difference is that Zeal sits inside your ear canal.

Key Features
Built for Real Life in Oahu
Bluetooth LE Audio
Stream calls, music, and podcasts directly from iPhone or compatible Android devices. Auracast-ready for theaters, airports, and venues.
20-Hour Rechargeable Battery
All-day power on a single charge. A 15-minute quick charge adds several more hours when you need it.
Same-Day Fitting
Zeal’s instant-fit modular design means most patients can be fitted and walking out hearing better in a single appointment.
AI Sound Processing
Deep Neural Network trained on 12 million real-world sound scenes for clearer speech understanding in noisy environments.
IP68 Rated
Hawaii’s humidity, salt air, and sudden rain are no match for Zeal’s solid-encapsulation construction, the highest moisture rating available.
Near-Invisible Fit
Sits deep in the ear canal in a contoured shell that most people won’t notice. No visible component behind the ear.
The Technology
How Oticon Zeal Sounds Different
Oticon’s BrainHearing™ approach is built on a simple idea: your brain, not your ear, is what truly understands speech. Instead of aggressively filtering out background noise the way many competitors do, Zeal delivers a complete, natural soundscape and helps your brain focus on what matters.
The DNN 2.0 inside Zeal has effectively “heard” millions of real scenes and learned the patterns of speech inside each one. In independent lab testing, Zeal scored well above average for speech understanding in both quiet and noisy environments.

Most fine-tuning can be done remotely through the Oticon Companion app. You won’t need to drive into the city for every minor tweak.
