Innovation with purpose

Binaural VoiceStream Technology™

What is it ?Binaural VoiceStream Technology™ is the unique ability to stream the full bandwidth audio signal between hearing aids in real time, creating a four-microphone network. Binaural VoiceStream Technology™ is possible thanks to a state-of-the art chipset with a fast processing speed of over 200 million operations per second and 16 million transistors.

Binaural VoiceStream Technology™ benefits:

• Speech in Wind – Improves the speech intelligibility by up to 28% in the presence of disturbing wind noise, while maintaining spatial cues needed for localization.1

• auto StereoZoom – The only technology capable of sufficiently narrowing the focus on the voice the listener wants to hear to provide significant SNR improvements of up to 3 dB in very noisy environments compared to state-of-the-art directional microphones. This means speech intelligibility can improve by as much as 45%.2

• DuoPhone – The signal is streamed in real-time to the other ear so the caller’s voice is heard in both ears. The average benefit is a 3.1 dB SNR improvement compared to a monaural telephone program.3

• auto ZoomControl – Ideal for situations when a listener cannot face the speaker. Once activated, it analyzes the direction of the dominant speech source and automatically selects it. Even at –10 dB SNR, 80% speech intelligibility is achieved.4

• Wireless CROS – The smallest wireless CROS system ever which does not require any additional components. This is only possible thanks to the full bandwidth wireless audio transmission capabilities of our chipset.5

The new game-changing Roger wireless technology

What is it ?Roger is a new adaptive digital wireless transmission standard running on the 2.4 GHz band. It wirelessly transmits the speakers voice directly to the user’s hearing aids. It is based on a new proprietary wireless microchip that makes use of intelligent and adaptive algorithms to improve the signal-to-noise ratio to levels never seen before. Roger provides a full audio bandwidth signal up to 7,300 Hz with an ultralow acoustic delay of 17 milliseconds, high internal signal-to-noise ratio and no distortion. Our new Roger Pen and the Roger Clip-On Mic are based on this new standard.

Roger allows for flexible and easy creation of networks of wireless microphones and receivers, without having to program them. This enables communication with multiple speakers, each wearing a Roger microphone in high noise and over distance. In quiet, the Roger Pen can zoom in on soft voices reducing the perceived listening distance by up to 75%.

Roger benefits :

• Maximum performance – Best ever speech-in-noise performance with documented improvements of up to 35% over Dynamic FM and 54% over other FM systems.6

• Zero hassle – Fully automatic microphone settings. No programming software required. Multiple microphones can be connected easily into a network for multiple speakers in noise and over distance; all it takes is the push of a button.

• Universal compatibility – Roger is available for almost every hearing instrument, cochlear implant and BAHA.

Phonak hearing aids offer a host of features based on Binaural VoiceStream Technology™ that offer users excellent performance in a range of challenging listening situations.

In certain cases, however, many users with significant hearing loss still require an extra performance boost – such as when communicating in loud noise and over distance. The ideal solution is a microphone that wirelessly transmits the speakers voice directly to the user’s hearing aids. Our game-changing digital wireless standard, Roger, improves understanding better than any other FM (analogue or digital) system.6

Phonak Naída QThe Phonak Naída Q is the power hearing aid of choice for people with moderate to profound hearing loss – in other words, those clients who can most benefit from our wireless accessories. The Naída Q family is also the most complete portfolio of power hearing aids available today, featuring three

water-resistant BTE and RIC models (IP67), available across four performance levels. Based on the latest and highly successful Phonak Quest platform, it offers powerful features based on Binaural VoiceStream Technology™ and our unique, effective non-linear frequency compression SoundRecover.

Fortunately, the accessories in our Wireless Communication Portfolio are as simple to use as pushing a button. They’re also easy to demonstrate, making the benefits of using them crystal clear. Our new online “Easy Guide to the Phonak Wireless Communication Portfolio” makes matching clients’ needs with the right accessory a breeze. There’s nothing to prevent your clients from enjoying a substantial communication boost (www.easyguide.phonakpro.com).

Proven performance you can trustOur two new wireless Roger microphones boost speech understanding more effectively than any products on the market.6 Who can argue with independently proven performance improvements of up to 54% 6 over FM and equivalent digital systems, and up to 35% 6 over our own Dynamic FM? And as most of your customers probably don’t use any accessories today, this boost in hearing will be even more amazing.

Our new Phonak cordless phone is another proven performance leader. It streams incoming phone calls to both hearing aids simultaneously, which greatly improves speech understanding.7

The Phonak Wireless Communication Portfolio is packed full of products that boost speech understanding way above and beyond anything your clients ever dreamed of.

Phonak pediatric solutions

A child is not a small adult. It sounds obvious, but in reality it’s a profound insight – one that guides practically everything we do when we develop solutions for children.

For example, you wouldn’t give a newborn baby a steak to eat. Just like you wouldn’t give a toddler adult medicine, or ask a 13-year-old to drive you to work. Whatever a child’s age, we treat them appropriately. This is especially important for children with hearing loss. Crucially, these young listeners don’t have the foundation of language that adults do. So, they need the most consistent access possible to the sounds of life to build that foundation.

At Phonak we have served children around the world for over 40 years, working alongside the world’s leading pediatric specialists and taking on board the considered advice of our Pediatric Advisory Board. The result of this knowledge is a new dedicated portfolio of pediatric solutions. One that is designed to meet children’s specific needs – ensuring their access to speech and language is continually optimized.

Phonak Sky Q

Phonak Sky Q is our new dedicated family of pediatric hearing aids. Choose from four different models, including a size 13 Receiver-In-Canal (RIC) version, across three performance levels (Premium 90, Advanced 70, Standard 50). There is a Phonak Sky Q model to fit every child. All Phonak Sky Q models are resistant to water, sweat and dust (IP67), making them the perfect companions for active explorers. Effective tamperproofing ensures tiny fingers cannot access any batteries.

Driven by the processing power of Phonak Quest technology, Phonak Sky Q features SoundRecover, the proprietary non-linear frequency compression algorithm. It has been shown to provide maximum access to high-frequency speech sounds – essential for children developing their speech and language.

The next challenge is hearing in noise. And while the optimal speech-in-noise performer is wireless microphone technology, children often still listen in noise with just their hearing aids. This is where Binaural VoiceStream Technology™ delivers. It enables improved hearing in a broad range of difficult listening situations.

Hearing in color

When it comes to bringing a smile to a child’s face, there’s nothing quite like color.

Phonak Sky Q housings are available in no less than 17 colors. These include many new joyful housing and ear hook colors, ranging from Caribbean Pirate through fiery Dragon Orange to Vanity Pink, as well as subtle hair and skin tones.

Back to basics: Great sound, easy fit

Phonak is proud to introduce its Q15 family of hearing aids, comprising a new, and fifth performance level in the basic segment. It is built around the processing power of Phonak Quest. Both the Baseo Q15 behind-the-ear and the Tao Q15 custom product families include WhistleBlock feedback cancellation and NoiseBlock to reduce background noise. Plus, they’re all programmable on the easy-to-use Phonak Target fitting software for outstanding first fit acceptance.

20

Getting the basics right

A pivotal moment in the fitting process is when the hearing aids are turned on for the first time. That’s why we have included Quest technology also in our basic performance level Q15, to ensure outstanding first-fit acceptance. As a matter of fact our Phonak Target precalculation gets it right 83% of the time.8 Extensive statistics based on 11,000 hearing aid fittings show that on average only 2 dB of fine tuning was necessary after the first fitting.

Enabling you to program all Phonak devices with the same fitting software is something we know is important to you. This is now a reality. With the introduction of the Q15 products you can now use Phonak Target for all solutions in all price and performance levels.

Both Phonak Baseo Q15 and Tao Q15 offer a perfect balance between performance and affordability, making them the most competitive offering in this performance class.

Key features include:

• 4 channels• WhistleBlock• NoiseBlock Basic• Fixed directional microphones• BassBoost• DataLogging• End-of-battery-life and program beeps
