……
Oticon hearing aids (Headquarters: Kawasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, President: Toru Saito, hereinafter referred to as Oticon), the flagship hearing aid brand of Demanto, a global hearing care group with a history of 120 years, will hold “Mimi Tomo Concert 2024″ in 2024. It will be held at Aioi Nissay Dowa Insurance’s The Phoenix Hall on November 4th, 2019 (Monday). This concert has been held by Oticon, a hearing aid manufacturer, as part of its CSR activities since 2014, with the aim of “Enjoying the best music for everyone, from children to adults, with hearing loss and those with normal hearing.” Held every year in Tokyo (online during the coronavirus pandemic), this is the 11th time in total. We have decided to hold this event in Osaka in order to deliver great music to as many people as possible who have hearing problems. This is the second time the event has been held in Osaka, the first being in 2015 in about 10 years.
This year’s performers are the “Vienna Hugo-Wolf Trio” led by Daniel Goede, former concertmaster of the Vienna Philharmonic.
For details on the performers, please see the special website (https://www.oticon.co.jp/event/concert).

Depending on the concert venue, an announcement may be made before the performance, “If you are using a hearing aid, please double check that it is properly fitted,” or there may be a notice posted on the homepage to prevent howling during the concert. Sometimes it is arousing. For some wearers, these pressures may cause them to avoid attending classical concerts. At this concert, we place emphasis on allowing people with hearing loss to enjoy the concert without any hesitation, so such
announcements will not be made. Even if howling occurs, the
surrounding area will be warmly watched over. Additionally, to ensure information for people with hearing loss, a hearing loop system that broadcasts sound directly to telecoil-compatible hearing aids and a summary writing system that summarizes the speaker’s speech and displays subtitles on a monitor will be installed inside the venue. I’m doing it. We also have staff available for written communication. ■Comments from Oticon Hearing Aid President Toru Saito
“We are very happy to be able to hold the Mimi Tomo Concert 2024 in Osaka. We hope that many people from the Kansai area who have not been able to visit the Tokyo venue will participate, and both people with hearing loss and normal hearing will be able to attend the venue. We hope that everyone will enjoy the wonderful music together. Another purpose of this concert is to educate people with normal hearing about hearing loss and hearing loss. Furthermore, we hope that this will help increase the number of people who are interested in hearing care and deepen their understanding.”
Based on our corporate philosophy of “Life-Changing Technology” (to change the lives of people suffering from hearing problems and to continue to provide the latest technology), Oticon strives to create a world where hearing loss is no longer a limitation. We are developing.
