In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the four different technology levels of hearing aids offered by the Odon brand: Odon intent ones (premium level), intent twos, intent 3es, and new bottom tier intent fours. It is emphasized that going for the highest level of technology you can afford is recommended to maximize benefits. The new Odon intent hearing aids are rechargeable and have a different design compared to previous generations. They have shorter, fatter form factors with horizontal microphones and a single push button at the back for controlling volume. However, they transitioned from inductive charging to contact charging, with non-removable lithium batteries requiring manufacturer servicing in case of failure. The contact charging allows faster charging, and the lithium batteries have an extended lifespan of up to 5 years, providing 18 hours of battery life on a 2-hour charge. The new desktop charger is smaller and requires a USBC power cord for charging. Price varies based on factors like technology level, location, and services bundled with the hearing aids.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the updated charger for the hearing aids, highlighting that it now uses a USB-C cord for charging but does not have an internal power bank. The new hearing aids have a larger rechargeable battery compared to the previous generation, resulting in similar battery life due to increased processing demands. The receiver wires are now 8-pin, providing detailed information to the hearing aid for precise amplification adjustments. The receiver wires come in various decibel levels and lengths for individualized use.

00:09:00

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the different decibel receivers available for hearing aids, ranging from 60 to 105 dbel. The 60 and 100 dbel receivers have increased maximum power output, but are otherwise similar to previous generation technology. It is recommended to use custom ear molds with 100 or 105 dbel receivers for optimal benefit. Odon no longer has detachable receiver wires from their power ear molds, requiring the entire mold to be sent back for repair if an issue occurs. The speaker also mentions improvements in the fit and security of the new receiver wires compared to previous versions, and how they fit better inside the ears.

In this segment of the video, the new Odon intent hearing aids are discussed. The improvements include the introduction of nine different colors, with new features such as the 4D sensor technology and updated deep neural network 2.0 under sound intelligence 3.0. The 4D sensor technology adjusts noise reduction based on your acoustic environment, conversation activity, and movement, enhancing signal to noise ratio by up to 5 dbb to improve speech comprehension. The top two technology levels, intent one and intent two, showcase a 15% relative improvement in speech comprehension due to the 4D sensor.

00:15:00

In this part of the video, it explains the concept of a deep neural network, which is an artificial brain mimicking how the human brain works. The deep neural network is trained on sound samples to differentiate between speech and noise. Odon fed its original deep neural network with 12 million sound scenes and enhanced it to increase noise reduction from 10 DB to 12 DB. The new Odon intent hearing aids with Deep Neural Network 2.0 and 4D sensor technology show significant improvements in speech intelligibility index compared to the previous generation. The tap control feature allows users to answer calls by double-tapping their ears.

00:18:00

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the compatibility of the hearing aids with Le audio Bluetooth and future compatibility with Oracast. They showcase connecting via Le audio Bluetooth using a Samsung Galaxy, highlighting the improved sound quality and battery life. Le audio Bluetooth allows for audio sharing with others who have compatible devices. The Odon hearing aids also support Bluetooth Low Energy for Apple iPhones and Ash Bluetooth for Android devices. The speaker compares the sound quality of Le audio Bluetooth to Bluetooth Low Energy, noting a significant improvement. They recommend Android phones with Le audio for optimal performance. Le audio Bluetooth provides a longer connection range than Bluetooth Low Energy. The hearing aids allow for various adjustments through the Odon companion app.

00:21:00

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the features of the hearing aids, including the ability to check battery life and have remote sessions with a hearing care professional through the app. Apple users can control features with an Apple Watch. The speaker mentions the option to mute hearing aid microphones while streaming but notes the limitation of not being able to unmute them using push buttons. The programming software includes the ability to input an audible contrast threshold test result to determine ideal noise reduction levels. The hearing aids are highlighted for amplifying high-frequency speech information, beneficial for noise-induced or age-related hearing loss. The frequency bandwidth of the hearing aids extends from 80 Hz to 10,000 Hz, although the adjustments are typically made within the range of 125 Hz to 8,000 Hz. The speaker also mentions the number of adjustable bands in the programming software.

00:24:00

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses the customization limitations of the Odon intent hearing aids, specifically in regards to the streaming sound quality. They mention the need for more control and customization options in the programming software, such as a separate program with equalizer bands for a more personalized audio experience. Despite some drawbacks like limited customization, fatter design, and single push button, the speaker praises the 4D sensor, Deep neural network version 2.0, and Le audio Bluetooth features of the hearing aids for improving hearing ability. They predict these hearing aids to be popular and suitable for those seeking advanced technology in hearing aids.
