Who is Phonak?
Inside Information on Phonak Hearing Aids
Phonak is part of the Swiss company Sonova and is one of the largest suppliers of digital hearing aids in the world. Phonak has concentrated on providing cutting-edge hearing technologies over its 70 years of history.
Phonak hearing aids and products are designed to significantly enhance your quality of life and reduce the constraints caused by hearing loss. Their hearing aids are always at the forefront of innovation and come in a range of styles, with different choices to suit your preferences.
The company produces a variety of hearing aids that meet any hearing loss and lifestyle requirement.
Phonak is a leading industry provider of state-of-the-art hearing aids for all ages. The manufacturer has become a leader in the design of hearing devices for kids after developing the Roger Pen, as well as in-class radio FM technology.
Phonak Hearing Aids Bluetooth Connectivity
Phonak hearing aids connect to iPhone and Android mobile phones. Phonak introduces direct streaming in November 2018. It sent shockwaves throughout the hearing aid world by launching the Marvel, the very first hearing aid that was able to stream stereo audio straight to and from any Bluetooth device, without any intermediary streamer required.
Before Marvel, no other hearing aid brand had previously solved universal Bluetooth connectivity technical challenges.
Previously, only iPhone hearing aid users were able to access direct stereo streaming before Phonak introduced Marvel. Android consumers had to buy an independent streaming accessory to connect their phones to their hearing aids.
With Android accounting for 86% of the worldwide market for smartphones, Phonak has done a huge service to many hearing aid users worldwide.
Phonak Hearing Aids Accessories
Phonak has various hearing aid accessories that can improve your hearing and the way you live every day. This includes devices that help you watch TV, on the phone, and out and about.
Ask your audiologist for the Phonak Bluetooth pairings that would benefit you the most. The Roger accessories portfolio offers devices such as the Roger Pen, Roger Table Mic II and Multiple Table Mics that have a range of over 20 metres.
Phonak's recent powerful PRISM chip advances on Bluetooth technology even more and presents double the memory from Marvel, providing eight paired devices and two active connections at the same time.

To give you an idea, Phonak's rechargeable Lithium-ion hearing aid batteries last around 18 hours on a 3-hour charge. Standard batteries would average between 3-10 days depending on battery, device and streaming usage.
However, you should always check with your audiologist on the best hearing aid model for you and what battery style would suit you better.
Phonak rechargeable hearing aids were first introduced in 2016 with Audeo B-R, which was the industry's first lithium-ion rechargeable hearing aids. Now you can look forward to:
-
Hearing aids that are fully charged in 3 hours.
-
A 30-minutes charging boost for an extra 6 hours of power.
-
Power that lasts roughly 24 hours when fully charged (with the potential to include 80 minutes worth of streaming).
-
A battery life of around 6 years.
Phonak Hearing Aids Different Models
As well as catering to different hearing loss levels, Phonak offers various types of hearing aid devices from In Ear hearing aids like IIC to BTE power hearing solutions. So, what is the best Phonak hearing aid?
Arguably most would say that the Phonak Paradise hearing aid range is the best, mainly due to the powerful new PRISM chip and improvements made since Marvel and the future compatibility to the next-generation of Roger accessories. We go through other notable Phonak hearing aids further down this page.

Reviewing Phonak's Technologies
Special Features of Phonak Hearing Aids UK
Some Phonak hearing aids offer the most cutting-edge devices and boast some amazing hearing aid technology. Here are some of the company’s most well-known features:
Phonak Hearing Aids Binaural Voicestream
This feature boasts the capacity to stream complete audio bandwidth in real-time and bi-directionally, for enhanced sound quality and unsurpassed speech understanding. This special technology powers the Phonak features such as Speech in Wind, Speech in 360°, and DuoPhone.
In challenging listening circumstances, Phonak VoiceStream Technology allows hearing aid users to concentrate on one voice. In more challenging listening conditions, this ensures less noise and better speech comprehension.
Phonak Hearing Aids Autosense OS
Autosense is a system that helps you move into different environments seamlessly. Autosense hearing aids automatically modify the volume, programme, noise reduction and various other characteristics as you go through different noise environments.
Phonak Hearing Aids SoundRecover
Some people have so much hearing loss that it does not help when they turn up the sound to the max. Others must contend with distorted sound when the volume is increased.
For these situations, Phonak has unveiled SoundRecover — a feature that enables the hearing aid to collect and reduce the frequency of high-frequency sounds so that they can be heard and understood by the ear.
Phonak Hearing Aids Charger Solutions
The latest Phonak hearing aid charger is the Phonak Charge and Care system, which charges and dries your devices with active ventilated air-flow - treating your hearing aids with UV light.

Phonak Lyric / Lyric3 / Lyric4 Hearing Aids
The Lyric is the most unique hearing aid on the market today. It is inserted deep into the ear canal, and not worn on the outside of the ear. This ensures that it is completely invisible, one of the most discreet devices produced by any hearing aid manufacturer. The fact that it is an analogue hearing aid also ensures it has a very long battery life.
The Lyric hearing aid is a great idea for individuals with an active lifestyle because there are no batteries to replace and no fiddling around with the device. You simply have it inserted and replaced every few months by a qualified professional.
Users benefit from natural sound everywhere they go. Moreover, at the end of your day, you don't have to take them out. Everyday activities such as exercise or even showering can be done while wearing the Lyric.
