What makes it special

Many things worth knowing about this hearing aid

Specs only tell you so much. Here's what's actually worth knowing about the Oticon Real 3 miniRITE R — what each feature does, and why it matters day to day.

🤖

Polaris R Chipset

The Polaris R is Oticon's prior-generation BrainHearing chip, built around a deep neural network trained on 12 million real-world sound scenes to deliver a full, natural sound environment to the brain.

🔋

20 hrs Battery Life

Two full days per charge. Weekend trips without the charger? Finally possible.

💧

1m Water Resistant

Rain, sweat, splashes. Golf in the rain? Go for it.

🔋

Rechargeable Battery Type

Rechargeable, just like your phone. Set them in the case overnight and wake up to a full day of power — no tiny batteries to swap, fumble with, or keep buying.

⚕️

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 Polaris R Works

BrainHearing in Real Time

A faster, sharper chipset powering real-time sound decisions. Scans your environment hundreds of times per second and captures detail across a wide bandwidth without lag.
Real-Life Sound Stabilization

RealSound rolls SuddenSound Stabilizer, Wind & Handling Stabilizer, and MoreSound Intelligence into one system. Sudden noises, wind, and handling sounds smooth out automatically.
Hear Every Talker

The sound engine scans your full environment. It balances every voice in the room and keeps the details your brain uses to piece it together.
Trained on 12 Million Real Sounds

Oticon trained the onboard neural network on 12 million real-life sounds. It recognizes what you're hearing and processes it the way your brain wants. A balanced sound scene.

Frequently Asked Questions

How does Polaris R compare to the newer Sirius chip?

Polaris R powers the Oticon Real platform. The newer Sirius chip in Intent and Zeal adds DNN 2.0, 4D sensors, and Bluetooth LE Audio.

Does Polaris R support Bluetooth LE Audio?

No. Polaris R uses Bluetooth Classic for streaming. LE Audio and Auracast support require the newer Sirius chip in the Intent and Zeal lines.

What does BrainHearing actually do?

BrainHearing preserves the full sound scene rather than amplifying only speech. The brain gets balanced input and chooses what to focus on, reducing listening fatigue

What's the real-world battery life?

The Oticon Real 3 miniRITE R 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.

Ready to Experience Polaris R

Try Oticon Real 3 miniRITE R risk-free with our 60-day money back guarantee. Free shipping, free returns, free audiologist support.
