Phonak Hearing Aids Bluetooth Connection

What about Bluetooth Phonak hearing aids? 

Are Phonak hearing aids compatible with iPhones? 

Phonak hearing aids connect to iPhone and Android mobile phones.  Phonak introduced direct streaming in November 2018.  It sent shockwaves throughout the hearing aid world by launching the Marvel.

This hearing aid was the very first hearing aid that was able to stream stereo audio straight to and from any Bluetooth device, without any intermediary streamer required.  Before Marvel, no other hearing aid brand had previously solved universal Bluetooth connectivity technical challenges.

Previously, only iPhone hearing aid users were able to access direct stereo streaming before Phonak introduced Marvel. Android consumers had to buy an independent streaming accessory to connect their phones to their hearing aids.

With Android accounting for 86% of the worldwide market for smartphones, Phonak has done a huge service to many hearing aid users worldwide.

Phonak hearing aids for TV and media streaming

Phonak stands at the forefront of the market, incorporating innovative technology into its devices. For example, with Phonak's Roger technology, you can seamlessly connect to Phonak Roger accessories, enabling the streaming of premium audio from your TV or mobile phone.

This is why the Phonak TV Connector makes for the ideal companion to your hearing aid.

Accessories for Phonak hearing aids - RogerDirect

What Phonak hearing aid accessories are available?  Phonak has various hearing aid accessories that can improve your hearing and the way you live every day.  This includes devices that help you watch TV, on the phone, and out and about. 

Ask your audiologist for the Phonak hearing aid pairings that would benefit you the most.  The Roger accessories portfolio offers devices such as the Roger Pen, Roger Table Mic II, and Multiple Table Mics that have a range of over 20 metres.  Roger wireless technology sets the standard in digital audio quality.

Phonak Bluetooth hearing aids connect wirelessly to Roger microphones and stream audio directly from the microphone to the hearing aid.  This is all done with exceptional quality, even at distances up to 50 metres and in busy environments. 

Roger technology gauges the ambient sound level in your surroundings and dynamically fine-tunes the microphone's volume to match it. This adjustment remains in sync with your daily activities, ensuring optimal hearing experiences throughout the day.

Phonak's recent powerful PRISM chip advances Bluetooth technology even more and presents double the memory from Marvel, providing eight paired devices and two active connections at the same time.

Phonak hearing aids app

Is there an app for Phonak hearing aids?  The myPhonak app gives you the freedom and flexibility of remote care with your audiologist, so you can adjust and personalise the sound you hear remotely on the go.  With the myPhonak app, you gain access to valuable features.

Your hearing care professional can provide real-time feedback and fine-tuning, you can keep tabs on battery levels, and you have the flexibility to prioritise noise reduction or speech focus.

You can also adjust middle and bass frequencies to craft your perfect listening settings.  Get complete control over your hearing aids by downloading the app on your iPhone or Android device, enabling you to personalise your listening experience effortlessly.

There is also a Phonak Tinnitus Balance feature, which assists in managing your tinnitus symptoms using various sounds and music to reduce the focus on the ringing, buzzing and humming sounds you are experiencing.

The Phonak RemoteControl app gives you remote control and management of your Phonak hearing aids.

Phonak hearing aid troubleshooting and support

It is important to get to know your hearing devices, so write down all your queries before you visit your audiologist.  All our audiologists will professionally advise you on the right Phonak hearing aid for you and your hearing loss, as well as give you the best aftercare and support going forward, such as:  

How to pair Phonak hearing aids to iPhone, how to pair Phonak hearing aids with Android, how to clean Phonak hearing aids, how to turn on and reset Phonak hearing aids, and how to adjust the volume.

Phonak rechargeable hearing aids

While rechargeable hearing aids have been available for many years, lithium-ion-powered hearing aids only entered the market in 2016 with Phonak's introduction of the Audeo B-R rechargeable hearing aids.  Earlier generations of rechargeable hearing aids were not fully reliable, often suffering from short battery life that couldn't last a full day and inconsistent power output that frequently caused malfunctions.

Advances in rechargeable lithium-ion battery technology have resolved these issues. Phonak reports that its latest generation of rechargeable hearing aids can last up to 24 hours on a single charge. The consistent power output of lithium-ion batteries ensures that users no longer experience the malfunctions or interruptions that hinder older models.

Phonak hearing aids battery life

To give you an idea, Phonak's rechargeable Lithium-ion hearing aid batteries last around  18 hours on a 3-hour charge.  Standard batteries would average between 3-10 days depending on battery, device, and streaming usage. 

However, you should always check with your audiologist on the best hearing aid model for you and what battery style would suit you better.  The duration of your battery depends on your device usage. For instance, Bluetooth hearing aids might have a shorter lifespan compared to non-Bluetooth ones, as they require additional power to connect to accessories.

Hearing aids that are fully charged in just 3 hours, a 30-minute charging boost for an extra 6 hours of power, power that lasts around 24 hours when fully charged, and a battery life of up to six years.

Phonak hearing aid models and charging solutions

As well as catering to different hearing loss levels, Phonak offers various types of hearing aid devices from In Ear hearing aids like IIC to BTE power hearing solutions.  So, what is the best Phonak hearing aid? 

Arguably most would say that the Phonak Paradise hearing aid range is the best, mainly due to the powerful new PRISM chip and improvements made since Marvel and the future compatibility to the next-generation of Roger accessories.  We go through other notable Phonak hearing aids further down this page.

The latest Phonak hearing aid charger is the Phonak Charge and Care system, which charges and dries your devices with active ventilated airflow - treating your hearing aids with UV light.
