Phonak Hearing Aids – the current portfolio
The latest and best hearing aids by Phonak are called ‘Phonak Paradise‘ (labelled P), and also available and sat just below this are ‘Phonak Marvel‘ (M).
Phonak Paradise are only available as receiver-in-canal styles (RIC), whereeas the Marvel portfolio is available across all standard hearing aid styles (with the RIC being superseded by Paradise) – with the exception of their CROS hearing aids (for single sided deafness) which is only now available on the older Belong (B) platform.
Phonak hearing aids are still spread over 4 technology levels – 30, 50, 70, 90 – with 90 being the best.
One of the key benefits of Phonak PARADISE / MARVEL hearing aids is that they have direct audio streaming from ANY Bluetooth enabled mobile phone – more info here.
The slightly older ‘B’ range (Belong) is now superseded with the exception of CROS hearing aids (and there are now better CROS hearing aids available).
So, be sure you buy the latest hearing aid models.
