Phonak Audéo V: Next generation Receiver-In-Canal (RIC) hearing aid product line based on new Venture platform
Twice the processing power and up to 30% less battery consumption - AutoSense OS next generation automation technology providing consumers with maximum convenience and a seamless listening experience
WARRENVILLE, Ill., Oct. 15, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Hearing aid users are very clear about what they expect from a hearing aid: Performance in different listening environments; seamless listening experience through easy operation and convenient phone use and as little interaction as possible. Based on these insights, Phonak has developed the next generation RIC hearing aid product line called Phonak Audéo V, powered by a new chip technology that offers twice the processing power while reducing battery consumption up to 30%. The product line is available in four new styles and in four performance levels.
"Clear speech understanding in daily life situations: This is what people with hearing loss expect from a hearing solution. As simple as it may be in quiet surroundings, as challenging as it still is on the move or in noisy locations," said Martin Grieder, Group Vice President Phonak, "This is where we have put the focus in developing our new platform and our latest generation of hearing aids. Whether in the car, on the phone or in a restaurant, new Audéo V RIC hearing aids offer precise performance all while seamlessly adapting from one soundscape to another."
A seamless listening experience
The Phonak Audéo V hearing aid product line runs on AutoSense OS, the "central brain" of the new Phonak hearing aids. It captures and analyzes incoming sound and can draw on more than 200 settings to match the sound environment exactly and to seamlessly provide the best setting for that environment – all without requiring any manual interaction.
Is talking in a noisy car environment while driving to work challenging? Audéo V reduces broadband noise to create a stable listening environment (Speech in Car program). Want to listen to music in a concert hall or in your own living room in the evening? Audéo V provides an extended dynamic range, slow compression speed and increased gain for a richer music experience (Music program). A chat with friends in a crowded restaurant on the weekend? Audéo V zooms in on a single voice, improving speech intelligibility (Speech in Loud Noise program).
The Phonak Audéo V RIC hearing aid family is available in four newly designed styles, all wireless, at four performance levels. All Phonak Audéo V RICs come with the Binaural VoiceStream TechnologyTM and a push-button. The re-designed housings are reinforced with high-tech composite materials for extra durability.
Great performance, maximum convenience
The enhanced Wireless Communication Portfolio keeps Phonak Audéo V hearing aid users connected on the phone, watching TV or in a noisy environment. This range of accessories offers an additional boost in performance with minimal effort.
- Phonak EasyCall connects any Phonak wireless hearing aid to any Bluetooth enabled cell phone, even non-smartphones and older models. Permanently attached to the back of the phone, it streams the conversation directly to both hearing aids in unmatched sound quality.
- Phonak ComPilot Air II, a handy clip-on streamer and remote control, allows for easy control of all Bluetooth-enabled audio devices such as cell phones, TVs, tablets and computers. Its neckloop-free design and stereo sound quality make the streamer the perfect companion for every multimedia user who wears a Phonak hearing aid.
- The Phonak RemoteControl App turns any smartphone into an advanced remote control for Phonak Venture hearing aids. In combination with Phonak ComPilot Air II or ComPilot II, the App enables direct selection of hearing programs, audio sources or the listening situation as well as individual left or right volume control.
The Phonak Audéo V hearing aid family is now available in the United States through hearing care professionals.
