Phonak have completed their portfolio upgrade with the new Phonak Milo.

An entry level hearing aid incorporating advanced features such as adaptive dual microphones and noise reduction based around the CORE processing platform that the more advanced range is built on.

So even at a budget level we can now provide fantastic hearing solutions as custom in-the-ear models or mini-behind-the-ear models.

To compliment the Audeo Mini we are also please to announce the arrival of the new Phonak Audeo Smart.

The Phonak Smart effectively replaces the Audeo YES incorporating the same housing improvements whilst also being wireless functional and therefore compatible with the iCom and the MyPilot, and also now includes the brilliant DuoPhone (an article on DuoPhone is listed under ‘accessories’).

The other main addition is the push button located between the dual microphones which can now be used for mulitple programmes OR for a volume control (more information available on request).

Having smoothed out the minor housing issues that some people experienced this aid is now arguably the best RIC currently available and with Bluetooth functionality it is probably the most versatile.

Phonak have just added to their portfolio with the new ‘Audeo Mini’.

A miniature version of the already massively successful Audeo YES which includes all the technology of the three previous technology levels (the 3, 5 and 9) but with a few improvedents including:

1. Hydrophobic microphone protection preventing dust and moisture ingress, which will reduce repair needs.

2. An improved sliding pin mechanism for removing and replacing the speaker wire which the client can now easily do. This is great for field dispensers and clients alike, as it means the client does not have to wait to see someone if their is a fault, as long as they have a spare speaker wire for each ear.

3. Radical new lightweight design - The Audeo Mini is the smallest receiver-in-the canal hearing aid currently available, being 10% less overall volume than the Widex Passion (although the Passion is remote control compatible).

4. Improved battery door, to prevent batteries falling out.

5. Nano-coated housing to prevent moisture ingress.

Note: The Audeo Mini has no wireless function and therefore is not iCom or MyPilot compatible.

Who is this aid for? People who want the highest performing and most discreet RIC hearing aid with no add-ons. Easy to use, fully automatic and does exactly what it says on the tin.
