Phonak Hearing Aids
The Phonak programmable hearing aids are available in behind-
the-ear (Piconet and Sono Forte Audio-Zoom) and in-the-ear (Lexa)
versions. The Phonak programmable hearing aids are delivered with
a remote control which allows the user access to three memories (one
for "quiet" listening; another for "noisy" listening and still
another for even more difficult listening situations). In addition,
the remote permits the user to activate a second microphone on the
behind-the-ear hearing aid which significantly reduces the effects
of noise coming from behind the user. This hearing aid has been
shown to be one of the most successful hearing aids in reducing the
effects of background noise. Shortly, our Division will be
completing field trials on the in-the-ear version containing the
second microphone.
