Types of Models

Until 2016, all Phonak models used replaceable batteries, while newer Phonak models use rechargeable batteries that eliminate the need for costly and complicated battery replacements. Phonak also designs its products for a wide variety of customers, so users can choose between behind-the-ear, in-the-ear, receiver-in-canal, and extended wear models.

Additional Accessories

Accessories are great additions for hearing aids, especially because they can significantly improve the effectiveness of the aids. Phonak offers several accessories for its models, including TV connectors, discrete microphones, remote controls, batteries, and replacement chargers.

How to Purchase

Unlike most hearing aid manufacturers, Phonak only sells its hearing aids through their official providers. Each of the providers has their own policies that Phonak doesn’t control, so you might get extended warranty or a free trial at one of the providers while the others won’t offer the same. The same applies for the prices and financing.

Brand App

Phonak currently offers 4 different smartphone apps for its users. They’re called MyPhonak, MyPhonak Junior, MyRoger Mic, and MyRoger Coach. Each of the apps is designed for a specific group of hearing aid users. The MyPhonak app is used for personalizing and adjusting hearing aids, as well as connecting to your hearing care professional.

The MyPhonak Junior is designed similarly as the MyPhonak app, but with added features that allow parents to control what their kids can do with their hearing aids. This app is great for busy parents that need to set appointments with hearing care experts for their kids often.

The MyRoger Mic app is made specifically to help adjust and customize your microphone, while the MyRoger Coach app allows users to select between several hearing options, offers help with using the microphone in different situations, and even offers translation for a few languages.

Phonak hearing aids are simple to use, however, the brand app that’s available for every hearing aid makes it even easier to set up and adjust your hearing aids to your personal preferences.

In order to get Phonak hearing aids, visiting a hearing care expert is mandatory.

Set Up & Activation Process

Although Phonak offers a free online hearing test on their official website, it’s mandatory to visit a hearing care expert for a full hearing checkup. If you decided on getting Phonak hearing aids, make sure you visit a hearing care specialist that’s also a Phonak hearing aid provider.

The price, financing options, and delivery depends on the provider, and Phonak doesn’t have any control over these aspects. 

The brand app, aside from letting you manually adjust your hearing aids, is connected to your hearing care expert who can monitor the condition of your hearing remotely.
