There are a number of reasons patients may prefer Phonak hearing aids. From Phonak’s universal direct Bluetooth connectivity to Apple and Android devices to the company’s patient satisfaction history with product performance, many patients are pleased with their Phonak hearing aids. While all of the hearing aid companies are consistently pushing for new improvements in hearing aid technology, Phonak has introduced their first waterproof hearing aid into the market. One of the biggest threats to the performance integrity of a hearing aid is moisture. Most hearing aids will be severely damaged after a moderate exposure to water and high amounts of moisture. The Phonak Audeo Life hearing aids are intentionally designed to withstand a greater amount of moisture and water. With the addition of parylene coated internal circuitry, additional microphone protection and silicone sealed seams the Phonak Audeo Life hearing aids are better equip to withstand water exposure and resist moisture damage.

In addition to the new Life hearing aids, Phonak has created an induction charger specifically designed for their waterproof line of hearing aids. The Phonak Charger Case Go utilizes inductive charging that can hold up to three additional charges. With the introduction of a waterproof hearing aid and a compatible charger that will hold additional charges for those patients on the go, Phonak is responding to a number of requests form patients and professionals in hopes to further improve their hearing technology.
