Oticon Zeal

Hearing aids have traditionally asked patients to choose between style and performance. The Oticon Zeal changes that equation. This in-the-ear hearing aid fits nearly invisibly in the ear canal, yet delivers the same advanced sound processing found in Oticon's premium behind-the-ear devices. At Citrus Hearing Clinic, we're pleased to offer the Oticon Zeal as part of our lineup of hearing solutions for adults looking for discreet, full-featured hearing technology.

What Makes the Oticon Zeal Different

The Zeal builds on the BrainHearing™ technology found in Oticon Intent, but packages it into an ultra-compact, rechargeable in-the-ear form factor. Oticon developed an innovative encapsulation process that seals the electronics in a solid, moisture-resistant structure (IP68 rated), which allows for a larger battery, more reliable performance, and a more durable device than traditional completely-in-canal designs.

The result is a hearing aid that fits discreetly in the ear while offering connectivity, rechargeability, and AI-driven sound processing that patients with more visible devices expect.

Key Features of the Oticon Zeal

The Oticon Zeal offers a range of features that make it a practical choice for many types of hearing loss and lifestyles.

• BrainHearing™ Technology – Supports the brain's natural sound processing by providing access to a full, balanced sound environment, reducing listening effort
• Second-Generation AI (DNN 2.0) – Always-on deep neural network processing delivers clear, natural sound in quiet and noisy settings alike
• Rechargeable Battery – Up to 20 hours of battery life on a single charge, with a quick-charge option that provides 4 hours of use after just 15 minutes of charging
• Bluetooth Connectivity – Streams audio directly from smartphones (iOS and Android), tablets, PCs, televisions, and Apple Watch®, plus Auracast™ compatibility for public venue connectivity
• Same-Day Fitting Option – Zeal can be fit using domes at the initial appointment, removing the wait time traditionally associated with custom in-the-ear devices; custom micro-molds are available for patients who need or prefer them
• Encapsulation Technology – A first-of-its-kind manufacturing process seals internal components in protective resin, improving durability and moisture resistance

Is the Oticon Zeal Right for You?

The Zeal is designed primarily for adults with mild to moderately severe hearing loss who want a discreet solution without giving up the features and connectivity of a modern hearing aid. It's a particularly good fit for working-age adults, first-time hearing aid users who have hesitated due to concerns about appearance, and anyone who has tried a smaller in-canal device in the past and found it lacking in features.

At Citrus Hearing Clinic, every hearing aid fitting includes Real Ear Measurements, a verification procedure that confirms your hearing aids are programmed precisely for your individual ear anatomy and hearing loss — not just an average. Studies show that only about 30–40% of hearing care providers routinely perform this step, and we consider it a standard part of every fitting we do.
