Who are Phonak’s Main Competitors?

Phonak is a leader in hearing aid technology.

The company is headquartered in Switzerland

and has been in business for over sixty years.

They don’t let technological limitations get in

the way. Instead, they find solutions. Their

goal is to bring the gift of sound to all people.

The company has created Hear the World, a

nonprofit division devoted to raising awareness of the importance

of hearing and the impact hearing loss has on lives. The goals of

Hear the World include erasing the stigma that someone with

hearing loss should be seen as handicapped and wiping out

negativity about wearing hearing devices. They are also striving

to show people that hearing is a valuable gift that should be

protected and to encourage listening.

Wide assortments of models are currently on the market. The

Canadian based company, Unitron, became part of Phonak in

2000. The merge of the two major hearing aid manufacturers has

allowed for an even greater range of products. It is not the only

brand on the market, though. A knowledgeable audiologist or

hearing aid provider will be able to match someone who has

experienced hearing loss with the perfect device for their unique

situation.

The Lyric is one of Phonak’s most popular models. It stays inside

the ear 24/7. It requires no handling and no one except the

wearer and his doctor needs to know it’s there.

There are dozens of hearing aid companies in the world. The

industry pumps millions of dollars into research and the testing of

new technology each year. Phonak has many competitors.

ReSound, Oticon and Starkey are some of the other large hearing

aid manufacturers. Each company has a long list of models and is

in a constant race to perfect technological advances.

The Intiga is a heading device made by Oticon. It’s high speed

processing chip and wireless technology work with the brain to

increase hearing and filter out unnecessary background noise.

Even people with only minor hearing loss report significant

improvement while wearing the tiny unit.

Starkey hearing aids are custom made. The brand is a leader in

water proof technology for hearing aids. They offer a wide range

of digital, invisible and wireless models for both adults and

children.

Resound is yet another hearing aid maker. The Resound Alera

improves hearing in even the most challenging of listening

conditions with core technology that includes surround sound.

The Resound Unite offers a line of hearing accessories that

includes microphones, phone clips, remote controls and TV

streamers designed to enhance and amplify sound quality.

While Phonak isn’t the only company that manufactures high

quality, technologically advanced hearing devices, they are more

than just a business. They are working hard to make it possible

for people to hear in ways they only dreamed of before.

Purchasing a Phonak unit improves the wearer’s life and that of

many others as well. The wearer gets the gift of hearing and

gives to others.
