The Latest Phonak Hearing Aids in Dublin & Across Ireland

Phonak has just launched its newest custom hearing aid range. The Virto V range of hearing aids, the devices use their powerful Venture platform with the latest Autosense OS which was introduced with the Audeo V. They launched the new custom hearing devices at the EUHA congress 2015 in Nuremberg, Germany. The new custom digital hearing aid range is the latest addition to the Venture platform. We are pretty excited about introducing them to our hearing aid centres in Dublin and across Ireland.

Key innovations of the range include:

• 15% and 33% better speech understanding in noise compared to leading competitor products
• Full Venture performance with a 25% smaller surface thanks to new technologies in the hearing aids
• Innovative design and placement featuring a faceplate with nano-coated battery doors, volume control and a push button, resulting in 20% better usability and versatility for users
• Up to 30% less battery consumption compared to previous hearing aid generation.

Other Phonak Virto V feature highlights include:·

• Binaural VoiceStream TechnologyTM: streams the full audio bandwidth between the two hearing aids in real time
• Wireless Functionality: allows for an extra boost in challenging listening situations and connects Virto V with the comprehensive Phonak Wireless Communication Portfolio all the way down to a CIC form factor
• Acoustically Optimized Venting, this uses sophisticated algorithms to define the acoustic mass, model and vent to provide the maximum hearing comfort and performance for the user
• Tinnitus Balance noise generator: Phonak Virto V is the first Phonak custom product to offer a tinnitus relief and management feature

"There is no other hearing aid this small, capable of this much performance"

according to their Group Vice President Martin Grieder, he went on to say “We are very sensitive to the needs of those seeking a discreet yet powerful hearing solution. The new Phonak Virto V offers an even clearer and more natural sound quality than the previous generation of custom hearing aids. There is no other hearing aid this small that is capable of this much performance.”

Audibly big, visibly small

“Phonak Virto V is a very big improvement in technology and in aesthetics. It’s also very comfortable,” said Bill Shull, a participant in the product validation study. “I don’t miss having to think about my hearing environment. My Virto V’s very effectively pick up where I am and what I need - and work seamlessly.”

A new solution for single-sided deafness

Phonak also introduced their newest CROS II device and for the very first time it is a custom in the ear hearing aid. In fact it will be the only custom solution available for single-sided deafness. The device work by wirelessly transmiting sound from the unaidable ear of a wearer to a wireless custom Venture hearing aid worn on the better hearing ear. CROS systems are ideal solutions for people with single sided hearing lossand for the first time, they will have a custom hearing aid option from Phonak.

Longer Life Less Battery Consumption

The new custom CROS II system also uses the Venture platform. Phonak have also introduced new technology to reduce the battery drain caused by wirelessly streaming audio. Because a CROS system works by streaming audio from one side to the other, battery consumption has always been an issue. 

The new system now consumes up to 30% less battery than the previous CROS generation and they say it delivers up to 40% better speech understanding in noise. The Phonak CROS II Custom is compatible with all wireless Phonak Virto V hearing aids with Binaural VoiceStream Technology™.
