Phonak Venture Nano Invisible Hearing Aids

The Phonak Venture Nano is the latest Nano invisible hearing aid from Phonak. Phonak have offered a Nano for many years now and this is the latest. Although, there are some rumours that there is a new one on the way very soon. If we hear more, we will let you know. Phonak produce a custom crafted hearing aid to fit completely and deeply in your ear canal, using computer-aided design and the latest generation of advanced materials. Comfort is guaranteed while delivering the sound quality that Phonak is famous for.

As with all invisible hearing aids the deep position in the ear canal allows the Phonak Nano to use the natural shape of the ear to funnel sound to the microphone which delivers excellent directional hearing, as well as virtual invisibility.

The Nano typically sits deep in the ear canal, the front of the hearing device is in permanent shadow because of the depth it sits at. It is deep enough into the ear canal to be to all intents and purposes an invisible hearing aid.

Who is the Phonak Nano Venture suitable for?

Again, as with all hidden hearing aids the Nano Venture is not suitable for everyone for two reasons. Firstly, the device will only fit certain shapes and dimensions of ear canal, if your ear canal is too narrow or has too tight a bend it might not be suitable. Other contra indications are things such as excessive waxy ear canals or perforated eardrums. If you face these issues, the Nano may not be the product for you. In these cases other discreet hearing aids may be more advisable to consider.

Outstanding features of the Phonak Nano include: ,

• Perfect fit: each IIC hearing aid is custom made to ensure a perfect fit
• Better localisation: tight fit means users can better determine where sounds are coming from
• All-purpose use: can be worn in all listening situations
• Durability: all components are contained in one unit making it extremely durable
• More comfort: no joined parts mean there are no hard edges

Oticon

Oticon Invisible Hearing Aids

Oticon is one of the biggest hearing aid brands in the world and they have their own IIC range. Up until last year, the ultra-compact IIC had come at the price of reduced features. However,  Oticon changed that with their new IIC instruments with wireless technology. Making it possible to combine all the benefits of invisible hearing aids, outstanding listening performance with wireless access to communication and entertainment and the optional remote control.

An Invisible Solution

The IIC is Oticon’s most invisible hearing solution. It is shaped to fit deep inside your ear where no one will see it, or even realise you are wearing it. It means that you can keep your hearing loss a secret, and enjoy the many benefits of modern hearing care, without any noticeable change to your appearance.

The sound level adapts automatically as sounds and places change throughout the day, so you will always have the sound you need to participate on an equal footing with everyone else.

The IIC also has minimum impact on the rest of your lifestyle – fitted inside your ear, it will not affect your use of headsets or telephones, nor how you wear your glasses, or even how you do your hair. As it is placed deep inside the ear, Oticon IIC captures sound in the same way that your ears were designed to do. It is available at three technology levels to suit all budgets, it gently preserves and amplifies sounds so that what you hear is always clear – and you will be able to participate confidently in all situations.

Starkey

Starkey SoundLens Synergy

Starkey introduced the SoundLens several years ago and last year they updated the technology within their invisible hearing aid offering. With the introduction of the SoundLens Synergy, they made the device even smaller and they added a second wireless invisible hearing aid to the line up. 

Wireless Invisible Hearing Aid

The wireless version of the SoundLens is no bigger than the older SoundLens type, so it will be a discreet deep fitting hearing aid. The new non wireless SoundLens Synergy is even smaller and it should be suitable for more people

Signia

Insio Primax IIC

Siemens/ Signia introduced the Insio Primax IIC last year as part of the Primax introduction. It is in fact the most powerful invisible hearing aid available covering hearing losses well into the severe range. It is available in three levels of technology the 7px, the 5px and the 3px. 

Wireless Invisible Hearing Aid

The Insio Primax is also a wireless invisible hearing aid.
