Phonak Hearing Aids – Life Is On

One of the foremost hearing aids manufacturers is Phonak, a Swiss-based company that has grown into a worldwide leader in the hearing aids market since it was founded more than 60 years ago. Phonak’s expertise in both hearing technology and acoustics, in tandem with the skills and knowledge of hearing professionals, have played significant roles in helping people around the globe improve their ability to hear and understand speech, and therefore better their quality of life.

Phonak Hearing Aids

Hearing loss undoubtedly presents a lot of challenges and limitations. Finding the best hearing aids can be difficult, with many options available. Among them are devices from Phonak, a leading hearing aid manufacturer for more than seven decades. The company’s expertise in acoustic and hearing technology has played a significant role in producing top quality hearing aids that have improved many people’s life quality.

Like other modern hearing aids, Phonak hearing aids are designed to go beyond sound amplification. Besides providing great comfort and sounds, these aids have many additional advanced features, such as lithium-ion rechargeable options and Bluetooth streaming technology that makes pairing with other electronic devices like smart phones effortless. Bravo Hearing has worked with Phonak for years to ensure that patients regain their hearing ability.

Why Use Phonak Hearing Aids?

There is a wide selection of Phonak hearing aid models: form IIC (invisible-in-the-canal) custom hearing aids to miniature RIC (receiver-in-the-canal) over the ear styles. From entry level to premium technology, Phonak line of hearing aid devices ensure that every individual and hearing professional finds the appropriate hearing aids for their and their client’s needs. The versatility with Phonak aids enables those with hearing difficulties to listen with ease and clarity in a variety of environments. Common Phonak hearing aid styles include traditional behind the ear, receiver in the canal, and custom in the canal options. Current Phonak hearing aids have the following features:

  • Autosense OS – this hearing aid operating system enables users to listen seamlessly all day long. The aids feature adjustable volume, noise reduction, directionality and other features that automatically adapt to changing listening environments.
  • Binaural Voice stream – this feature enables hearing aids to communicate and share information together and function as wireless systems. The technology goes beyond basic wireless aids sharing volume and program settings and allows the aids to share data and sound between ears for 360-degree hearing clarity.
  • Sound Recover – this feature uses sound transposition to tone down high-pitched, hard to hear sounds to frequencies whre patient still has usable, audible hearing.

The newest innovation from Phonak is the Audéo Paradise, which excels in hearing performance and has a wide range of new, elevated features. The Phonak Audéo Paradise, the successor to the Marvel, delivers crisp natural sound with brilliant speech understanding. It also has personalized noise cancelling, a one-tap voice assistant and connects to smartphones, TVs and smart apps. The Phonak Audéo Paradise uses the new PRISM (Processing Real-time Intelligent Sound Management) sound processing chip that features approximately double the memory of Phonak’s previous chip. It even deploys a new fitting formula designed to provide better fits (particularly for milder losses), reduced reverberation, greater dynamic range, and reduced listening fatigue in noise. The company is also introducing a new version of AutoSense OS ™ (ASOS 4.0), the fourth-generation of its successful operating system which augments the existing feature set found in Audéo Marvel with a new speech enhancer, dynamic noise cancellation, and motion-sensor hearing technology for even better performance in noisy environments.

Phonak hearing aids provide effective and dependable performance along with the flexibility to select from a variety of styles based on the personal needs/preferences of the wearer and they are recommended by many hearing professionals. The Phonak models most commonly dispensed by the specialists from Bravo Hearing Centre in Toronto include the following:
