⚕️

HSA / FSA Eligible

Hearing aids count as a qualified medical expense, so you can pay with pre-tax HSA or FSA dollars. Use your HSA/FSA card right at checkout, or file the receipt with your plan for reimbursement.

⚡

Recharging Case

The case carries its own battery, so it tops off your hearing aids two to three times before it ever needs an outlet. Just drop them in, close the lid, and charging starts on its own.

How Sirius Works

Purpose-Built for Sensor-Driven Hearing

Oticon's newest chipset, the engine behind sensor-driven sound processing. More processing power, more connectivity, and more real-time decisions than any Oticon platform before it.
Four Data Streams Inform Every Decision

Head movement. Body motion. Soundscape. What you're actively listening to. Four data streams feed the AI, so the hearing aid adapts to what you're doing.
Trained on Millions of Sound Scenes

DNN 2.0 is Oticon's second-generation Deep Neural Network. The model learned from millions of real-world sound scenes. Up to 12 dB noise suppression, 6 dB clarity gain.
Full Sound Scene, Always Balanced

MoreSound Intelligence 3.0 scans your full environment. It balances every voice in the room and keeps the details your brain needs. Every talker, not just the loudest.

Hearing Aid Styles

RIC, BTE, CIC, IIC: A Translation Guide for People Who Just Want to Hear Better

The hearing aid industry loves an abbreviation. RIC, BTE, CIC, IIC, ITE — a perfectly simple decision dressed up to look like a government form. Here's the version that skips the exam.

Most people end up in a RIC (Receiver-in-Canal): a small processor behind the ear, a thin wire, a tiny speaker sitting in the canal. Discreet, powerful, compatible with every modern feature — Bluetooth, rechargeable batteries, AI processing, the works. The overwhelming majority of premium hearing aids sold today are RIC, and the reason is straightforward: they do the most for the widest range of hearing loss.

Style	What It Is	Best For	The Honest Tradeoff
RIC (Receiver-in-Canal)	Small processor behind the ear, thin wire, speaker in canal	Mild to severe loss, most users	Slightly visible behind the ear

If invisibility is your top priority, CIC and IIC are worth a serious look. If you want invisibility and full modern features, a well-fitted RIC is more discreet than most people expect and considerably more capable. Talk to one of our hearing care experts and we'll help you figure out which tradeoff actually matters for your life.

Inside the Tech

How BrainHearing changes what you hear

The Intent 1 miniRITE R runs on Sirius, Oticon's most advanced chipset to date. Four technologies pull in the same direction so your brain does less of the heavy lifting.

Sirius Platform

Oticon's newest chipset, purpose-built for sensor-driven hearing. More processing power, more connectivity, more real-time decisions than any Oticon platform before it. Think of it as the brain behind the brain.

MoreSound Intelligence™ 3.0

The sound engine that scans your environment, balances every voice in the room, and keeps the details your brain actually needs. Not just the loudest talker. Every talker. Intent 1 runs the highest level of MSI 3.0 in the lineup, with five environmental classifiers and full spatial balance.

4D Sensor Technology

Head movement. Body motion. The soundscape around you. What you're actively listening to. Four data streams feed the AI, so your hearing aid adapts to what you're doing, not what it guesses you might be doing. Available on Intent 1 and Intent 2 only.

DNN 2.0 (Deep Neural Network)

Trained on 12 million real-life sounds. The second-generation neural network processes sound the way your brain does, so you get a full, balanced sound scene without fiddling with any settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Oticon models use the Sirius chip?

The Oticon Intent miniRITE R, Intent miniBTE R, and the new Oticon Zeal NXT in-the-ear model. All three share the same core processing platform.

How is Sirius different from the Polaris R chip?

Sirius adds DNN 2.0, 4D sensor input, Bluetooth LE Audio, and Auracast support. Polaris R was Oticon's previous platform behind the Real series.

Does Sirius support hands-free calling on Android?

Yes, on devices supporting Bluetooth LE Audio. Android hands-free streaming depends on the smartphone's support for LE Audio or ASHA protocols.

What's the real-world battery life?

The Oticon Intent 1 miniRITE delivers 20hours, assuming 3 hours of daily Bluetooth streaming. This typically means 2+ full days of use before recharging.

What is the 60 Day Risk-free Trial?

A hearing aid doesn't prove itself in a quiet room on a Tuesday afternoon. It proves itself at the family dinner where everyone talks at once. The restaurant with the acoustics that defeat every table in the place. The phone calls you've been avoiding for two years. The TV that's been creeping up in volume so gradually you didn't notice until someone pointed it out.

That's why our trial is 60 days, not a long weekend. You deserve to know these are right, not just right enough to keep because returning them felt complicated. So we made returning them not complicated.

Every purchase includes professional fitting by a licensed hearing care provider, unlimited adjustments throughout your trial, and devices that arrive calibrated for your specific audiogram. The trial isn't a safety net bolted onto the product. It's the whole philosophy.

What Does "Authorized Retailer" Actually Mean for Your Warranty?

Spending several thousand dollars on hearing aids from an unauthorized online seller is a perfectly reasonable way to end up with devices no manufacturer will touch when something goes wrong. The warranty? Voided. The repair? Your problem. The seller who seemed so trustworthy? Possibly a forwarding address in a strip mall.

Authorized retailer status means a direct, contractual relationship with the manufacturer. Injoy is an authorized retailer for Phonak, Starkey, ReSound, Signia, Oticon, Widex, and Sennheiser. Every device we sell carries a valid manufacturer warranty. Every claim we submit gets processed. Every repair goes through official channels.

You can call any of those manufacturers right now and ask if we're authorized. We'd genuinely love it if you did.

	Authorized Retailer	Unauthorized Seller
Manufacturer warranty	Valid and honored	Voided, full stop
Firmware updates	Official and current	Not guaranteed
Repairs	Through manufacturer channels	Your problem, or maybe they’ll try a few things
Device authenticity	Guaranteed genuine	Gray market or worse
Recourse if something goes wrong	Direct manufacturer support	Good luck

Talk to one of our hearing care experts if you want to confirm anything before you buy.
