March 2010 will see the global launch of a new second generation wireless premium hearing instrument from Oticon. The company believes that Agil defines a new approach to hearing care by taking speech understanding in noise to a new level. It achieves this using three new audiological concepts. Spatial Sound 2.0 maintains natural acoustic cues; Speech Guard preserves the fine modulation and details of the signal and Connect [+] enhances the perception of bass or low frequencies. The product is available at two price points, Oticon Agil Pro and Oticon Agil and includes the most comprehensive style and fitting range launched in one brand; RITE/RITE power, BTE/BTE power, CIC/CIC power and other custom styles and fitting options. The new RISE II processing platform has twice the calculation power of RISE, but the miniRITE style manages to be 305 smaller than Epoq.
