What we love about Real

Deep Neural Network

Oticon used a 360 degree microphone to capture 12 million real-life sound scenes. This data was then used to train Real’s on-board deep neural network, so it can learn to recognize each type of sound and their relative importance to you.

Rechargeability (optional)

Lithium-ion battery technology ensures you can comfortably enjoy a full day of hearing, including streaming from your favorite devices. Simply set your hearing aids in their charger at night, and you'll wake up to fully-powered devices in the morning.

Bluetooth Connectivity

Connects directly to your iOS®, and select Android™ devices so you can stream audio in excellent quality directly to your hearing aids.

Updated: Dec 30, 2023

Released February 23, 2023, Oticon Real is now a slightly outdated model, and most ZipHearing customers are ordering the newer Oticon Intent.

Oticon Real is still however the best choice if you want disposable batteries, as the Intent model only comes with rechargeable batteries. We do not think Intent is a drastically-improved product as compared to Oticon Real, but there are some slight improvements and if you are purchasing new hearing aids and wanting rechargeable batteries, we'd recommend the Intent model.

In some cases it may still make sense to go with the Oticon Real model and this should be discussed with your hearing provider.

In noisy environments I hear people perfectly

Review by: Nick from NJ

Model: Oticon Real 1 miniRITE R

Bought: Nov 2022

Summary: Nick reviews the Oticon Real 1 miniRITE R hearing aids, focusing on their performance and personal experience. Diagnosed with mild hearing loss, especially in noisy environments like his workplace in education, Nick finds the Oticon Real 1 aids to be a significant improvement. He praises their artificial intelligence, which filters noise and enhances speech clarity, making conversations in loud settings much clearer. He is particularly fond of the Oticon Companion App, which he finds user-friendly, providing easy adjustments and maintenance reminders. Despite the exceptional sound quality and easy setup, Nick notes some downsides, such as limited Bluetooth connectivity to one device at a time and a charger design that lacks a lid and has a non-detachable cable. However, he mentions an available premium SmartCharger that addresses some of these issues. Despite a few cons, Nick highly recommends the Oticon Real 1 miniRITE R for its sound quality and intelligent features, considering them top-notch in technology and craftsmanship.

You can’t see them and they do a great job

Review by: Jeffrey from NJ

Model: Oticon Real 1 miniRITE R

Bought: Feb 2023

Summary: Jeff from New Jersey recounts his experience with hearing loss and the journey to getting hearing aids. After realizing he was missing parts of conversations, especially in noisy environments like Las Vegas casinos, he consulted an audiologist. Diagnosed with age-related hearing loss, he was recommended Oticon Real hearing aids by two different audiologists. Despite initial concerns about cost and quality compared to cheaper options, Jeff decided to invest in the recommended high-quality aids. He praises their discreet design and effectiveness, particularly in reducing background noise and enhancing conversation clarity. Jeff ends by advising others experiencing similar hearing issues to seek testing and consider hearing aids to improve their quality of life.

They are worth every penny.

Bought: Apr 2023

Summary: Art, An 86-year-old, highly active individual shares his switch from Phonak to Oticon Real hearing aids based on his brother's recommendation. After 15 years with Phonak, he tried the Oticon Real 1 and noticed a significant improvement in sharpness and overall hearing.

Arnold is very satisfied with these, noting their effective noise reduction and Bluetooth connectivity, although he mentions the audio quality for music is not as good as he would prefer. Despite this, he uses them daily for music during his walks without any issues with battery life. He appreciates the discreetness and comfort of the hearing aids, adding that they are hardly noticeable, especially with his beard.

A big improvement

I was lucky enough that Oticon Real was released during my trial period with the previous generation model. I honestly didn't expect to notice a tremendous difference between the 2 models, but have been pleasantly surprised that the Real are indeed noticeably better than More. As advertised, they are better at reducing wind noise, and touching noises when I adjust the hearing aids. Grateful that the timing worked out that I could exchange the More for the newer Real model. 5 stars overall.

First Time User

Purchased the Real hearing aids since I was not hearing conversations well in loud environments. They’re comfortable and can barely be seen. I’m still in the adjustment stage with the audiologist so I expect them to get even better. Conversations in restaurants and other crowded places are significantly improved. My only complaint is that there’s low level background buzzing/humming unless I turn the volume down, which reduces the value of the hearing aids so that doesn’t make sense. On the other hand, it’s still better than the tinnitus I get 24/7 without the hearing aids.

First impression… woah!

First impression… woah! As soon as I put these in my ears it was a whole different experience!

The audio provided by the Oticon Real 1 minirite R hearing aids was crystal clear and very dynamic. Whatever AI-based system they have going on in these is on another level. The aids allowed to me hear and experience everything that was going on around me, but at a more controlled and defined level. I have used other hearing aids from other brands before and was shocked at how amazing the Oticons were. Do the Real’s perform better than the other aids in every way? No. However, the Real’s can certainly hold their own.

For the TV and display enthusiasts there, It was as if I had been hearing in HD with my other aids and was now catapulted into the world of 4k. The dynamic range is incredible and the “Deep Neural Network”, or Oticon’s AI, does a stellar job at controlling the audio input from the world around you. Unlike other aids, I was not able to notice certain frequencies dipping in and out in response to the AI controlling sound from around me. Everything was smooth and crisp with fairly controlled and consistent audio signal from the aid. Furthermore, the audio quality while streaming from a device (music, videos, etc) is certainly of higher quality than other brands that I have used.

The app and iPhone pairing experience was effortless and foolproof. It just worked, which is hard to come by these days. The Oticon companion app has a very clean and user friendly interface and is quite responsive.

The charger could benefit from a few changes, in my opinion. I would prefer to have a charger that covers the aids when they are charging. It would protect them from the endless supply of dog hair that can be found in my house. Also, I would have preferred a charger with a removable charging cable, perhaps one with a USB-C port. The cable on the charger is not removable.

Overall, the Oticon Real 1 minirite R hearing aids are an excellent set of aids. I was hard-pressed to try and find any major negatives when writing this review. Are there some minor (subjective) flaws? Yes. I would still recommend these to anyone looking for a premium hearing aid who is looking for a seamless and effortless setup and user experience. I give these two thumbs up and my dog just added in two paws up!

Improvement in tinnitus

After about 1 month of wearing them, the "ringing" in my left ear has subsided quite a bit. I have found that my hearing in loud environments such as restaurants and bars has also been noticeably improved. They still make me want to ich my ear canal, but that too has been getting better over time.

Oticon Real 1 is a Great Hearing Aid

The pro's - The natural sound quality is a big plus. There is clarity not just volume. I rarely have to ask anyone to repeat themselves. I wear my aids from the time I get up until I go to bed. I find them so comfortable I have to remind myself I am wearing them. They appear to be very well designed and constructed. I got the Companion Clip Bluetooth to go with the aids. I love it as it liberates be from being tied to my phone. I can hear and be heard even if the phone is a few rooms away from where I am talking..

Excellent!

I have now had the Oticon Real for 1 month and they are excellent. Good sound quality, clear and comfortable to wear. The app is easy to use, even for a technically challenged person like me. I am very happy with my choice.

Very satisfied

I purchases the Oticon Real 1 miniRITE R and have been very satisfied with the fit, build quality and performance. I also received a TV Adapter 3.0 at no charge after I read the ZipHearing YouTube Oticon Review.

Oticon Real-1

The sound quality is excellent and they are very comfortable. I had my hearing tested through my ENT provider and was able to test drive two hearing aids for comparison. Going into the test, I did not think Oticon was going to be my first choice but they became my first choice.

VERY PLEASED!!

This is my second hearing aid purchase. Bought my first pair 4 years ago and those were helpful for my minimal to moderate hearing loss. These are such a vast improvement over those initial aids, would highly recommend Oticon to anyone considering an investment in better hearing. They are comfortable and the sound quality is great - crisp and clear w/o being overpowering. Easy to set up/use. Charging is easy. Am very pleased overall with these hearing aids.

Common questions about Oticon Real hearing aids

Bluetooth / ConnectivityRechargeabilityDisposable BatteriesControls/AppsMiscellaneous

Choose questions category:

Can this hearing aid be paired directly to my Bluetooth TV?

No. To stream audio from the TV you'll need the TV Adapter 3.0

Does this hearing aid allow for hands-free phone calls?

Hands-free communication is available with iPhone 11 or later, with software updates iOS 15.2 and later. If you have any other phone, you can only get hands-free functionality via the ConnectClip accessory. With that accessory, you'll hear the caller's voice streamed through your hearing aids, but in order for them to hear you, you'd have to either hold the phone to your mouth, or if you want hands-free calling, clip the ConnectClip to your shirt and talk into that. The ConnectClip has a microphone on it that will pick up your voice for the caller, allowing you to keep the phone in your pocket/purse, etc.

Is this hearing aid Bluetooth compatible?

Real is Made for iPhone, which means it can connect directly with iPhones to stream music, phone calls, and more. Real is also compatible with the new Android protocol, Audio Streaming for Hearing Aids (ASHA), allowing high-quality, one-way direct streaming from Android devices with Android 10 or later and Bluetooth 5.0. If your phone isn't directly compatible with Real, you can still get Bluetooth functionality via the ConnectClip accessory.

What is the lifespan of the rechargeable batteries?

The lithium-ion battery will last 2.5-3 years. When it needs to be replaced, take it to your hearing provider and they can replace the battery in their office.

How will I know when my battery needs to be charged?

A few hours before the battery dies, you'll hear three steady beeps. This will usually happen a few times. Then, right before the battery dies, you'll hear four descending tones.

How long does it take to get a full charge?

A full charge takes 3 hrs and will get you between 16-24 hrs of power. A 30 minute quick charge will get you 6 hours of power.

What if I'm on-the-go and my battery dies?

With proper planning and charging, this should rarely if ever happen. If you're concerned about this, you may want to buy the SmartCharger accessory, which is designed for travel, and features a built-in power bank that stores a minimum of 3 full charges.

Does the charger include a dehumidifier?

The standard charger included with your order does not. If you live in a humid environment or are concerned about moisture exposure, Oticon recommends buying the Oticon SmartCharger accessory, Flow Med Dry-Cap or PerfectDry Lux dehumidifers.

How many hours a day do the batteries last?

If you don't do any streaming, the battery on the Real rechargeable models should last 20-22 hours. If you stream a few hours a day, battery life will be around 16-18 hours.

How will I know when it's time to change the battery?

A few hours before the battery dies, you'll hear three steady beeps. This will usually happen a few times. Then, right before the battery dies, you'll hear four descending tones.

Are the batteries hard to change?

For most people, no. But if you have poor dexterity, we'd recommend considering the Real miniRITE R or Real miniBTE R rechargeable model, so you don't have to change batteries.

How long do the batteries last?

Battery life will vary depending on several factors. In general, the miniRITE T 312 battery model will last 3.5-5.5 days. If you use the miniBTE T 13 battery model, expect a few more days.

How do I turn this hearing aid on and off?

To turn the hearing aid off, simply place it in the charger. Or, press and hold the rockerswitch's bottom button for three seconds.

How can I control this hearing aid, and which settings can I control?

You can control the volume and program of this hearing aid using the onboard rockerswitch or the Remote Control 3.0. For further control over the hearing aids, we recommend using the Companion app, which gives you much for functionality than the rockerswitch or Remote Control 3.0. You can read about the Oticon Companion app's functionality further down this page in the 'Compatible apps & accessories' section.

Does the app have a “Find My Hearing Aid” feature?

Yes. However, in order to use this feature, you would've had to have setup the Companion app and paired your hearing aids to your phone, prior to losing them. Once the hearing aids have been paired, if you lose them, the app will help you locate them, so long as the hearing aids are powered on. If the hearing aids are powered off, or if their batteries have died, the app will show you the last location of the hearing aids when they were powered on.

Is this hearing aid CROS compatible?

Yes, all Real hearing aids are compatble with the CROS devices listed above.

In which models is the new Olive Green color available?

At this time, Olive Green is only available in the miniRITE R model.

Can I get this hearing aid with a telecoil?

Yes, All Real models include a telecoil.

What's the difference between Oticon More vs. Oticon Real?

First, both models look identical, and have the core features you'd expect from a modern hearing aid—Bluetooth compatibility, rechargeability, and a sleek and discreet design. It's what's inside the hearing aid that sets these two models apart. Oticon Real is a more refined version of the previous generation Oticon More. Oticon Real is built on Oticon's newest and most powerful platform ever, Polaris R. Oticon Real includes detectors for fast and precise processing of disruptive sounds, including a new wind noise stabilizer, along with a stabilizer to reduce handling noise (noise that comes from touching/adjusting the hearing aids, or hair touching the hearing aid microphones). Real is also compatible with Oticon's new Companion App, which provides users further functionality and control over Real hearing aids.

Charger, $199

*Included with rechargeable orders

This is Oticon's standard charger and is the one that comes with all rechargeable hearing aids. Fully charges your hearing aids in 3 hrs, providing 24 hours of power. A quick charge of 30 minutes will provide 5 hours of power.

RATING2

SmartCharger, $249

This is an optional portable charger that is available for purchase. It's designed for travel, with a protective lid and built-in power bank that stores a minimum of 3 full charges. A 3 hour charge provides a full day of power, and a 30-minute quick charge provides an additional six hours of power. It also features a bult-in drying function that automatically removes moisture from hearing aids.

RATING3

The image of TV Adapter 3.0 hearing aids

TV Adapter 3.0, $249

Plug it into the back of your TV or soundbar and the audio will be streamed directly to your hearing aids. Others can keep the TV at their preferred volume level, while you set your own volume via the app or on the hearing aids themselves.

RATING4

ConnectClip, $249

ConnectClip has two features. First, it's most commonly used as a Bluetooth streamer that allows you to stream audio from your phone to your hearing aids. If you have an iPhone, you don't need this, because iPhones stream directly to Oticon Real hearing aids. If you have an Android or any other phone and you want to stream from your phone, you need this. Even if you have an iPhone, it still may make sense to get this, because it does allow for hands free phone calls. Wear it around your neck and the microphone picks up your voice for the person on the other end of the call to hear, so you don't have to hold you the phone to your mouth when speaking. The second feature of ConnectClip is its ability to work as a remote microphone. If you have a hard time hearing in noise this accessory is a lifesaver. Attach the ConnectClip to a companion's shirt and their voice will stream directly to your hearing aids. Their voice will come through much stronger than all the competing noise in the environment.

RATING5

The image of SmartCharger miniBTE R hearing aids

SmartCharger miniBTE R, $249

This is an optional portable charger that is available for purchase and compatible with the Real miniBTE R model. It's designed for travel, with a protective lid and built-in power bank that stores a minimum of 3 full charges. A 3.5 hour charge provides a full day of power, and a 30-minute quick charge provides an additional six hours of power. It also features a bult-in drying function that automatically removes moisture from hearing aids.

RATING6

The image of Remote Control 3.0 hearing aids

Remote Control 3.0, $199

You probably don't need this. Most people use the app to control their hearing aids, and if not the app, then the push button on the hearing aid itself. But if neither of those suit you, this remote is a simple way to control the volume and program.
