Oticon Agil is designed to support the brain's natural process of understanding speech by keeping things natural and preserving a richer sound picture and the natural dynamics of a specific speaker.

It's not just about audibility; it's about creating order out of acoustic chaos.

The Brain's Natural 3-Step Process of Understanding Speech

• Organize
  When entering a complex environment with many sound sources, the brain automatically tries to separate them. The auditory system organizes the bits of information to prepare the listener to focus on what's interesting and set competing noise aside.
  
  
• Select
  The listener can then select the sound stream of interest and focus attention on it. The strength of the auditory system is the brain's ability to continuously discriminate between sound sources. Oticon Agil keeps things natural, preserving a richer sound picture and the natural dynamics of sound.
  
  
• Follow
  The brain can keep up with the speaker because it is primed to understand speech. The auditory system instinctively tunes into the voice's individual characteristics such as level changes and stress patterns. The better the dynamics of the signal are preserved, the easier it will be for the listener to understand speech.
