Frequently asked questions about the Oticon Real
How much does the Oticon Real cost? +
There is no single price for the Oticon Real. It is fitted and sold by licensed providers who set their own fees, so the same model can differ by thousands of dollars between two clinics in one city, and the technology level moves it further still. What you are quoted usually bundles the devices with fitting, programming, follow-up appointments and a trial period, and those bundles are not comparable line for line between clinics. Ask each provider what the quote includes before comparing two of them, and see our guide to hearing aid costs for the market ranges by style and tier.
What technology levels is the Oticon Real available in? +
The Oticon Real is sold in 4 technology levels: Real 1, Real 2, Real 3, Real 4. The housing and the physical style are identical across them; what changes is how much the hearing aid does for you automatically in difficult listening, above all separating speech from background noise. That is where most of the price difference between two quotes for the same model comes from, so it is worth asking which level you are being offered rather than only which model.
What kind of hearing aid is the Oticon Real? +
The Oticon Real is a receiver-in-canal (RIC) device: Receiver-in-canal and mini BTE, rechargeable and disposable. Typical fitting range: Varies by style, receiver and acoustic configuration. Treat that as general guidance rather than a decision — which device suits you depends on your audiogram and your ear anatomy, and candidacy has to be determined by a licensed hearing care professional. Our guide to hearing aid styles covers which styles suit which degree of loss.
Is the Oticon Real the current generation? +
Real launched in 2023 on Polaris R and sits one generation behind Intent on Sirius. It is still in Oticon's current materials. Manufacturers keep selling a previous generation alongside the current one, usually at a lower price, so ask your provider what the newer generation would add for you before deciding.

Style is a separate decision from technology level, and it is worth making in that order. Our guide to hearing aid types explains which styles suit which degree of loss, and the cost guide covers what each tier actually buys.
