Hearing Aid Accessories
Our trained experts tailor hearing aids to patients’ needs and often compliment the hearing device with communication accessories.
Accessories boost hearing aid performance in challenging listening situations.¹ With modern technology, hearing aids enable clear speech understanding in most situations. But sometimes, hearing aids are simply not enough, i.e.. for listening in a noisy environment, at a distance or when watching TV.
The Phonak TV Connector wirelessly streams TV and music directly to Bluetooth® enabled hearing aids, transforming them into wireless stereo headsets. A simple plug-and-play interface works with TVs and other audio sources to support direct hearing aid connectivity within a transmission range of up to 15 meters.
PartnerMic is a discreet and easy-to-use microphone that attaches to a partner's lapel to improve hearing during one-on-one conversations. With direct connectivity through Phonak AirStream™ technology, your patients can benefit from clear speech streamed directly to their hearing aids.
The Phonak RemoteControl is a simple way to control and adjust Phonak hearing aids at the touch of a button. The tactile design allows your patients to make adjustments easily and discreetly, without fumbling or being distracted. Using RemoteControl, they can manage audio levels, check battery life, and see program status without using a smartphone app.
myPhonak is a free, easy-to-use smartphone app that empowers your patients to take control of their hearing, promotes their well-being, and fits seamlessly into their lifestyle. The app captures health data and monitors your hearing aid usage and connects your patients remotely to their hearing care professional for support.
The Phonak Roger™ wireless hearing aid microphones improve speech recognition in noise and over distance.² Roger is an intelligent wireless technology that transmits speech directly to hearing aids and cochlear implants, helping to overcome distance and noise. Roger technology works as a system that enables a speaker’s voice to be transmitted from a Roger wireless microphone to a listener’s hearing aid or cochlear implant via Roger receivers, allowing for up to 61% improvement in speech understanding in a group conversation², compared to hearing aids alone. Available in different models, the versatile microphones are suitable for use in school, and work settings as well as for social activities.
Introduced in 2021, the ActiveVentTM receiver was the world’s first hearing aid receiver that automatically opens and closes based on the listening environment. The receiver utilizes a mechanically switching vent that intelligently balances speech clarity in noise with listening comfort, thus combining the hearing performance of a closed fit with the comfort of an open fit.³References:
