Connect Hearing, a network of hearing care professionals in the United States, has expanded its portfolio to include two hearing instruments from Swiss manufacturer Phonak. The Bolero B and the Virto B-Titanium hearing aids bring new technologies to the offering of hearing devices and accessories currently available to clients at Connect Hearing’s nationwide hearing centers.
Bolero B is a behind-the-ear (BTE) style hearing aid with a rechargeable option, the Bolero B-PR. The Bolero B-PR is Phonak’s first rechargeable standard BTE and features a lithium-ion battery capable of providing 24 hours of life on a single charge, including 80 minutes of wireless streaming.
Virto B-Titanium marks the smallest ever custom hearing aid produced by Phonak. The custom device replaces acrylic materials of the past with medical grade titanium to produce a 50 percent thinner, yet durable, shell. Worn inside the ear canal, the tiny Virto B-Titanium is extremely discreet, making it especially attractive to first-time hearing aid wearers.
Both options are part of Phonak’s new Belong platform and feature the latest version of AutoSense OS. AutoSense OS provides a seamless, automatic listening experience by continuously analyzing the listener’s environment and blending multiple features to precisely match that environment without any manual adjustment by the wearer.
“These two new hearing instruments allow Connect Hearing to offer its clients the most exciting and effective hearing technology in the market today,” said Vice President of Marketing Patrick Schuerer. “Both longtime and new hearing aid wearers will be impressed by how easy these devices are to wear and how natural they sound.”
Headquartered near Zurich, Switzerland, Phonak, a member of the Sonova Group, was born in 1947 from a passion and dedication to take on the most difficult hearing challenges. As the industry’s leading provider, the company offers a portfolio of hearing solutions. From pediatric to profound hearing loss, the firm remains committed to creating hearing solutions that change people’s lives to thrive socially and emotionally.
