The first portable hearing device produced by Phonak was released in 1950. Over the past 70 years, this leader in the development of wireless communication has added their innovative talent to the development of a long line of firsts in the hearing aid technology industry.
Phonak developed Visaton Super in 1967, a pair of glasses with integrated hearing aids, followed by the world’s first BTE (behind-the-ear) hearing aid (Phonette) in 1970, and the introduction of a type of audio input that became the foundation for FM hearing devices in 1979.
The first digitally programmed hearing aid with an analogue processor, PICS, came to the hearing aid market in 1992. Phonak’s AudioZoom multi-microphone concept was released in 1994, and the first tiny FM receiver, MicroLink, became available to the public in 1996.
1999 saw the production of the first digital hearing system with FM receiver, which was followed by the tiny MLx ear-level FM receiver hearing system in 2000. Phonak’s SmartLink Bluetooth integration technology, the foundation for the development of bionic systems like Binaural VoiceStream Technology, became available in 2003.
After the development of water-resistant housings in 2008, Phonak made use of their advances in material technology along with nano-digital technology to develop the world’s only extended wear hearing product.
Phonak provides a broad range of traditional hearing aid solutions with enhanced performance, crisper sound clarity, the capacity to cancel background noise, and sound therapy features to help with tinnitus management.
Connectivity with Android and iPhone, as well as numerous Bluetooth compatible digital devices from your hearing aids, is possible using Marvel Smartphone for seamless streaming.
Other cutting-edge innovations include integrated tinnitus management, advanced battery charging capabilities, and improved connectivity. Remote support using the myPhonak app allows for improved device support and programming from any remote location.
