The Oticon Jet PX 1 and Jet PX 2 run on the same Polaris platform and share 48 processing channels, Bluetooth LE streaming and IP68 protection. Where they differ is noise handling and fitting precision. Here is what actually matters when you choose between them.
Oticon introduced Jet PX in 2025 as its first essential-level hearing aid with Deep Neural Network (DNN) technology. The DNN was trained on 12 million real-life sound scenes. Oticon ties its DNN-enabled OpenSound Navigator to the Jet PX 1.
Quick Answer
- Choose the Jet PX 1 if you often struggle with speech in noisy places and want the most advanced noise handling in the Jet PX range.
- Choose the Jet PX 2 if you want a modern rechargeable Oticon at a much lower price and your hearing loss is fairly straightforward.

The Real Differences
1. Noise handling
This is the biggest gap between the two. The Jet PX 1 includes OpenSound Navigator and Speech Guard, which are designed to help you follow speech in busy places such as cafés, restaurants and family gatherings. The Jet PX 2 uses multiband adaptive directionality and noise reduction. That is effective for everyday listening, but it is a simpler approach.
2. Fitting bands
Both aids have 48 processing channels. Fitting bands are different: they are the controls your audiologist uses when programming your hearing aids. Think of them as the sliders on a graphic equalizer. The Jet PX 1 has 14 and the Jet PX 2 has 12. For a flat hearing loss the difference is small. For a sloping or irregular loss, the extra bands allow slightly finer tailoring.
Features Both Models Share
- Direct Bluetooth streaming: Stream music, podcasts and calls from iPhone, iPad, Mac and compatible Android devices. Hands-free calling works with compatible iPhones.
- IP68 water and dust resistance: Dust-tight and protected against water immersion, so rain, sweat and daily wear are no concern.
- Oticon Companion app: Adjust volume, change programs and find lost hearing aids from your phone.
- Tinnitus SoundSupport™: Optional relief sounds, including ocean waves and white noise, for people managing tinnitus.
- Rechargeable or battery options: Jet PX is available in both miniRITE and miniBTE styles.
