Phonak Hearing Aids
Phonak is the largest hearing aid manufacturer and a leading brand in the industry. They are known for making the first advancements in digital hearing aids which innovated the entire industry. In 2017, Phonak introduced the first hearing aid model to utilize rechargeable batteries. The following year, they released the first device that featured Bluetooth technology (the Audéo Marvel) which made greater connectivity possible. Their latest models continue to advance what hearing aids are able to do. Additionally, their suite of technologies offer dynamic features that increase sound quality and facilitate personalized listening experiences.
Hearing Aids
Phonak makes various styles of hearing aids including in the ear, behind the ear, and receiver in the canal types. These styles address a wide spectrum of hearing loss from profound to mild hearing impairment.
Lyric
The world’s first 100% invisible hearing aid, the Lyric sits deeply in the ear and can be worn 24/7. The Lyric is inserted by a hearing healthcare professional who places the device near the ear drum. While most hearing aids are designed to absorb and process sound outside of the ear, this device uses the anatomy of the ear to deliver natural sounds. The Lyric helps the ears localize sounds which better allows people to know where sound is coming from.
Naída Paradise
This behind the ear hearing aid is designed for more profound degrees of hearing loss. The Naída Paradise is all about delivering powerful sound and comes with several features including: speech enhancer, noise cancellation, multiple Bluetooth connections, and tap controls.
Audéo Paradise
A receiver in the canal type of hearing aid, this device is an upgrade of the Audéo Marvel. It offers a suite of features including: Bluetooth connectivity, tap controls, motion sensing, and improved noise cancellation technology.
These are among the latest hearing aids developed by Phonak who is consistently pushing the limits of hearing aid technology and what these devices can do.
Hearing Aid Technology
In addition to hearing aids, Phonak continues to develop new technologies that make their devices and other products dynamic. Their latest key technologies include:
PRISM Processing Chip
A processing chip is integral to hearing aid devices. Phonak created a new chip that can execute several enhanced features. Standing for Processing Real Time Intelligent Sound Management, the PRISM chip can seamlessly operate various features and programs, allowing hearing aids to easily respond to the environment the wearer is in.
ActiveVent Receiver
This is a speaker, an integral component of a hearing aid, that is designed specifically for challenging listening environments. The ActiveVent Receiver has a built-in vent and a small disc which moves between open and closed. When open, it lets in more environmental sound which contributes to the naturalness of one’s voice. WHen closed, it blocks background noise which allows the wearer to better hear and focus on speech or streaming content.
