Phonak - "Life is On"
Tracing its roots all the way back to 1947 when it was known as ‘AG für Elektroakustik’, Phonak became the company that we know and love in 1965 when Ernst Rihs acquired a majority shareholding and rebranded the company to more modern standards.
Under the stewardship of his two sons, Hans-Ueli and Andy, Phonak has gone from strength to strength. Today the Swiss-based company can boast a presence in over 90 countries with some 15,000 staff worldwide and a proud tradition of invention, market-leading feature design and some of the most streamlined hardware available.
What’s more, Phonak have been staggeringly successful in their pursuit of hearing aid perfection – up to a quarter of all hearing aid wearers worldwide opt to use their products.
Their latest offering, the Phonak Audéo™ Paradise range, showcases exactly why: with a whole host of improved features, sleek design, top-drawer Bluetooth connectivity and much, much more, it’s easy to see why so many opt for Phonak as their go-to hearing aid.

Mini but Mighty!
Not only is the Virto P-Titanium part of the smallest Phonak hearing aid range ever, but its discreet, diminutive yet extremely robust casing hides within it all the wonders of Phonak’s trailblazing Paradise technology.

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes they are, the custom and in-the-ear hearing aids are both available in rechargeable versions.
We choose a colour that matches the client’s hair or if they have glasses we make sure that the colour of the hearing aids matches the glasses’ rim in order to make them as discrete as possible. For in-the-ear hearing aids we will try to colour match to the patient’s skin to make hearing aids blend in as much as possible.
As of yet there are no waterproof hearing aids, Phonak hearing aids are however water resistant with the rating of 68p (with 1 being least resistant and 9 being most resistant). The numbers 6 and 8 refer to dust resistance and water resistance respectively. Currently there are no hearing aids on the market that have a 9 water resistance rating. This means you still have to take your hearing aids off when you shower or your ears are going to be exposed to large amounts of water.
