Phonak has introduced two lithium-ion rechargeable hearing aids geared to the needs of specific patient populations—those with severe to profound hearing loss and children. Now in its fifth generation, Phonak's Naída B, for the first time, offers a rechargeable receiver-in-canal option. Naída B provides the industry's best speech intelligibility index results for those with severe to profound hearing loss, according to the company. Phonak has also added a rechargeable option to its Sky B products, which are designed specifically for children. Sky B-PR gives pediatric patients a full day of uninterrupted hearing on a single charge. Sky B features AutoSense Sky OS and SoundRecover2, which gives children access to a broader range of sounds essential for speech and language development.
The company has also launched its new MultiBeam Technology (MBT), the next generation of the Roger 2.4 GHz wireless technology first introduced in 2013. MBT uses three microphones to form six directional beams within 360 degrees. When a microphone with MBT is placed on a table, it automatically selects the speaker to improve speech understanding in group conversations and noisy situations. Powered by MBT are Phonak's Roger Select, which is equipped with three modes (automatic, manual, lapel) to enable wireless hearing in different environments, and Roger Table Mic II, which is ideal for working adults who need to actively participate in meetings. Phonak has also added the Roger Repeater, which extends the operating range of any Roger network in the Roger for Education portfolio and is ideal for school applications like auditoriums and gymnasiums.
The Phonak Naída B and Sky B are now available in the United States, with the rest of the world to follow this month. All new Roger products will be available later in spring 2018.
