Hansaton introduces jazz on Essenz: A new generation of ITE solutions

Stäfa, Switzerland – January 2026 – Hansaton expands its in-the-ear (ITE) portfolio with the launch of the jazz E-R and the jazz E-10 NW O hearing aid models. Both represent great design expertise in the ITE category, while addressing clearly different wearer preferences: maximum performance, ease of use, and connectivity with jazz E-R and maximum discretion with jazz E-10 NW O.

At the center of the launch is jazz E-R, built on the Hansaton Essenz platform and powered by the ultra-responsive ERA™ chip. As the hero product of the range, it brings AI-trained automatic processing, rechargeability and wireless convenience into an ITE format that matches our clients’ active lifestyles.

For active and connected clients:

jazz E-R – Rechargeable and wireless

The jazz E-R delivers the full Essenz experience in an as-small-as-possible ITE design. Simply check a box to access the new, innovative EarMatch™ Advantage process, designed to deliver next-level individualization. EarMatch Advantage enables a secure and comfortable first fit, leading to significantly fewer remakes due to occlusion and appearance. Additionally, the jazz E-R offers the following benefits: 

• Convenient charging with the Easy Line Charger ITE and its easy to use snap-and-charge system
• HearIntelligence™ 6.0 with Essenz sound processing for automatic adaptation across listening situations
• StereoBeam with Intelligent NoiseReduction for confident listening in noise
• Soft SpeechBoost to support hearing quieter voices and reduce listening effort¹

With jazz E-R, Hansaton brings rechargeable wireless performance into the ITE segment – offering users as-small-as-possible devices that fit right into their active lifestyle.

For clients who prioritize size above all:

jazz E-10 NW O

For those who place discretion first, Hansaton offers the jazz E-10 NW O – a tiny, discreet ITE option for users who prefer straightforward functionality without wireless connectivity.

The jazz E-10 NW O features:

• Omni functionality for reliable everyday listening
• IP68 water resistance for durability in daily life
• A single push button or the optional IIC Remote Control – ideal for users who prefer a simple solution to control their hearing aids
• Optional telecoil for additional accessibility

Hansaton Essenz jazz E-10 NW O offers a compact and dependable alternative for those who value size, discretion, and simplicity above all else.

EasyGuard domes – the revolution in wax management

Did you know that up to 38% of service appointments are wax-related? With the new EasyGuard vented domes for RIC hearing aids, Hansaton further improves reliability and everyday care. EasyGuard domes feature a sealing, sound-transmitting membrane that protects against wax while letting sound flow freely. The result is clear sound, fewer interruptions and easier maintenance. Wearers benefit from effortless care, as the domes can simply be wiped clean. With EasyGuard vented domes, Hansaton enhances everyday listening with improved protection against wax.

Hear the essence of life

With jazz E-R and jazz E-10 NW O, Hansaton delivers two clearly positioned ITE solutions: one for users who expect advanced performance, rechargeability and connectivity, and one for those who want a tiny device – without compromising reliability. With EasyGuard vented domes for RIC hearing aids, one of the most popular form factors worldwide, Hansaton extends this promise of reliability by making everyday listening easier, more reliable and better protected against wax.

Availability: From January 28, 2026. ITE solutions are available in multiple performance levels and colors. EasyGuard vented domes are available in S, M and L sizes.
