Inside Oticon Chili
Speech Guard helps you communicate clearly
When you have severe to profound hearing loss you don’t just need extra power; you need clear, authentic sound quality. Oticon Chili’s Speech Guard feature protects important natural details – such as the pitch and tone of a person’s voice – to make them easier to identify and follow.
ConnectLine offers clear access to phone and TV
Oticon ConnectLine can turn your Chili’s into a personalised, hands-free headset. The ConnectLine solution can pick up the signal from your phone, mobile, MP3, PC or TV and send it wirelessly to the hearing aids. The entire system is controlled by the Streamer.
Spatial Noise Management helps you stay focused
Oticon Chili’s Spatial Noise Management feature makes busy situations more manageable by prioritising speech over noise. This makes it easier for you to locate and follow the person talking. Chili also has directional microphones. These automatically dampen any noise coming from the sides and behind to help you focus on the voices you want to hear.
Tested and proven by everyday people
An international survey shows high satisfaction for overall experience with Oticon Chili for both super power users and hearing care professionals. Oticon Chili is easy to fit and easy to get used to.
For most people the possibility of upgrading to something that is “new” or “improved” can be quite appealing. However, people with severe and profound hearing loss often hesitate to change to new hearing solutions because of concerns over the added effort required to adjust to the new hearing instruments.
The results of a newly released international survey signals a positive change in perception and more possibilities for improved communication for people who rely most heavily on their hearing instruments.
Understanding the challenges
The five-country survey looked at Chili’s ability to address the unique challenges faced by people with severe and profound hearing loss. In the survey, experienced super power users found Chili significantly easier to get used to than their previous hearing instruments, with high scores for improved speech understanding, reduced listening effort and increased connectivity opportunities.
In fact, Chili’s high scores on satisfaction in important aspects of day-to-day communication provide strong reasons why super power users seeking more benefits and less hassle in everyday life should consider Chili.

Put your hearing in the best hands
In our digital age, it seems that everything we need can be bought or solved over the internet. But in the case of hearing care, there is really no substitute for the personal attention of a skilled professional.
Your hearing care professional has the training and personal commitment to help you understand your hearing loss.
The first step is to arrange a hearing test. This is a quick and simple exercise performed by your hearing care professional to determine what sounds you can and cannot hear. If your test shows that you would benefit from hearing aids, your hearing care professional will discuss the options with you.
