    Phonak’s new Audéo Marvel hearing aids provide exceptional sound quality from the first fit. Whether you’re using them during conversations in noisy environments or streaming audio to your hearing aids from a device, the sound quality delivered by Marvel hearing aids is second to none.

    A new generation of Phonak technology enables Marvel hearing aids to precisely match more listening situations than ever before by recognising and automatically adapting to different listening environments. Thanks to AutoSense OS 3.0 and Binaural VoiceStream Technology users can now achieve better speech understanding in noise with less listening effort.

    Marvel hearing aids are available in a rechargeable version, which is quick to charge and long lasting with a full charge allowing a full day hearing, including audio streaming. The hearing aids automatically switch on when removed from their charging case, and switch off when placed back inside the case. The rechargeable battery has been designed to last six years before a replacement is needed.

    The new Marvel hearing aids can connect directly to iPhones, Android smartphones and other Bluetooth devices for stereo sound quality streaming of any kind of audio to both ears, plus the built in microphones allow for hands free mobile phone calls. Users also have the option of setting audible phone notifications to be heard through their Marvel hearing aids.

    Phonak’s TV Connector and AirStream technology enable streaming from any TV or media system using a simple plug and play solution, allowing users to hear TV programs and movies directly through their hearing aids. This feature works similarly to using wireless TV headphones, however Marvel hearing aids can distinguish between streamed speech and music signals and automatically adjust for enhanced sound quality.

    Marvel hearing aids are also compatible with Phonak’s Roger technology, which boosts hearing technology in loud noise and over distance.

    Hearing and understanding speech involves more than just your ears – it also relies heavily on your brain. This is because your brain is where the sounds you hear are processed and meaning is created from those sounds. When your ears are not receiving sound properly your brain has to work even harder to fill the gaps in order to try to understand what you are hearing. People with hearing loss often become exhausted trying to listen and follow conversations in noisy situations because their brain is doing so much work. This can cause them to start withdrawing from conversations and social situations because of the effort required to listen in these environments.

    BrainHearing Technology is Oticon’s approach to helping your brain make sense of sound. This technology works with your brain so that less effort is required to listen in difficult listening environments. BrainHearing Technology supports your brain’s natural process of making sense of sound by allowing you to hear all sounds, leaving fewer gaps for your brain to fill. Hearing aids with BrainHearing Technology help both of your ears work together to help you locate sound, and work with your brain as a system to separate relevant sounds such as speech from competing background noise.

    Everyone has their own unique hearing profile. BrainHearing Technology enables Oticon hearing devices to be finely tuned to suit your specific hearing profile and personal sound preference, delivering the clearest and purest signal possible in the way that is best understood by your brain. With Oticon’s BrainHearing Technology you will remember more of what people said to you, with less effort.

  • How Hearing Aids Work

    Hearing aids contain five components – microphones, an amplifier, a loudspeaker, a battery and a computer chip. Although all hearing aid models have these components, there is a significant difference in the quality of the sound and speech understanding you will get from different models. Higher quality hearing aids will provide a more natural listening experience because of the more advanced technology and extra features they contain, such as bandwidth, automatic volume regulation, noise management, feedback suppression and various personalisation options. Newer models contain the most advanced technology.

    This is how each part of a hearing aid assists in delivering sound to you.

    • The microphone picks up the sounds around you.
    • The computer chip, which is programmed by your practitioner to suit your specific hearing needs, analyses and processes the sounds captured by the microphone.
    • These analysed sounds are then sent to the amplifier.
    • Sounds are received by the amplifier and sent to the loudspeaker.
    • The loudspeaker transmits the sounds to the inner ear via the ear mould tubing on your hearing aid or the small wire and receiver in your ear.
    • Sounds are converted to electrical impulses inside your inner ear.
    • The electrical impulses are picked up and processed by your brain, allowing you to understand the sounds.

    Starkey Hearing Technologies have recently introduced the world’s smallest hearing aids, which are moulded to the size and shape of your individual ear canal. The SoundLens Synergy Invisible-In-The-Canal (IIC) hearing aids are available in a variety of colours to match your skin tone, and rest comfortably inside the second bend of your ear canal, making them virtually undetectable.

    Not only are the SoundLens Synergy IIC hearing aids comfortable and invisible, these tiny devices are loaded with features. Available in wireless and non-wireless options, these hearing aids enable media streaming from your phone or any other Bluetooth device to your hearing aids. This means you can stream your TV audio, music and more directly to your hearing aids. Starkey have developed technology which gradually adjusts the settings of your SoundLens Synergy IIC hearing aids to get your brain used to the new sounds these hearing aids provide.

    A range of Starkey accessories are also available which can be used in conjunction with your SoundLens Synergy IIC hearing aids, such as the Surflink Mobile 2, the Surflink Media 2, the Surflink Remote and the Surflink Remote Microphone. These accessories can be used to stream media, remotely control your hearing aid settings, and help you hear better in difficult listening environments.

    Other features of the SoundLens Synergy IIC hearing aids include distortion-free listening comfort for loud sounds and ultimate clarity for soft sounds, a feedback cancellation system that prevents the hearing aids from buzzing or whistling, and advanced multiflex tinnitus technology, which provides relief from tinnitus.

  • New Oticon ConnectClip

    The new Oticon ConnectClip is many things in one small device. Working with the Oticon OPN hearing aids, it can be used as a remote microphone, as a remote control, and it turns your OPN hearing aids into a high quality wireless headset.

    Wireless Remote Microphone – When using the ConnectClip as a remote microphone it wirelessly streams the wearer’s voice directly to your hearing aids from up to 20 metres away. Simply have the ConnectClip clipped on to the person you need to hear more clearly, and their voice will be delivered to your hearing aids clearly and distinctly. This is especially useful in situations such as business presentations, classroom lectures and speeches at events, as well as conversations in crowded places or in the car.

    Remote Control – OPN hearing aid wearers now have another way of controlling the hearing aid settings using the ConnectClip, which allows you to adjust things like the volume and programme that your hearing aids are set to.

    Wireless Headset – The ConnectClip streams phone calls, video calls, music and podcasts directly to your OPN hearing aids, delivering clear, high quality stereo sound to both ears, whilst still allowing you to hear all the sounds around you.

    Bluetooth Low Energy – The ConnectClip uses 2.4GHz Bluetooth Low Energy to connect to any modern Bluetooth enabled smartphone, tablet, music player, or computer. Unlike classic Bluetooth, it is able to stream sound to both ears, instead of just one. Bluetooth Low Energy also has lower power consumption and a broader frequency bandwidth than classic Bluetooth. For devices without Bluetooth built in, the ConnectClip comes with a USB that plugs into the USB port of the device, giving a range of up to ten metres.

  • Rechargeable Hearing Aids

    Many hearing aids require new batteries as often as every few days if the hearing aids are used regularly. For some hearing aid wearers, using disposable batteries can be an inconvenience. Modern rechargeable hearing aid technology found in the Oticon OPN can now provide a solution to this problem without compromising any other technology or features.

    The Oticon OPN rechargeable hearing aids provide a full day of use after an overnight charge. Users can simply put their hearing aids on the charger before they go to sleep every night, and put them back in every morning without ever having to put batteries in them or even open the battery door. Having a permanent place for your hearing aids every night will also ensure that you always remember where you put them.

    Not having to buy hundreds of batteries each year for your hearing aids means you’ll be saving time and money, as well as making a positive impact on the environment. However, in emergency situations where you may be unable to charge your hearing devices or if you just forget to charge them, the Oticon OPN hearing aids will also work with disposable batteries.
