Hearing instruments improve speech understanding in various
situations and support the many functions of human hearing (location
of sounds, enjoyment of music, etc).
Since the kind and degree of hearing loss varies from person to person and even sometimes from ear to ear, a different technology needs to be applied to obtain the best hearing improvement. Additionally, different lifestyles create varying needs for design and comfort.
Therefore, Phonak offers a complete range of innovative solutions which are tailored to both specific hearing losses and personal preferences.
Behind-The-Ear model (BTE)
The versatile and powerful hearing instruments that are worn behind the ear. They can be employed for all degrees of hearing losses and are particularly beneficial for severe hearing losses and special requirements regarding hearing in difficult listening situations (FM systems etc.)
In-The-Ear model (ITE):
One of our most accessible hearing instruments. ITE instruments
offer the right combination of appearance, ease of use and
affordability. These are extremely flexible and can be worn by
those with mild to severe hearing loss.
In-The Canal (ITC):
Our most popular, ITC instruments offer both precision and discreet appearance. ITCs are designed to fit a full range of hearing impairments from mild to severe.
Completely-In-The-Canal model (CIC):
Our smallest, and most discreet instrument. CIC
instruments use tiny components and fit deep in the ear canal.
Offering unique benefits such as ease of use with the
telephone and outdoors, CIC instruments can be worn by those
with mild to moderate hearing loss.
