Phonak Audeo Paradise Hearing Aids Main Features

What's improved since Marvel?

Phonak Audeo Marvel vs Phonak Audeo Paradise hearing aids

This Made for Any Phone hearing aid has advanced on what Marvel did right and improved on what needed focus.  But, why do Phonak Audeo Paradise digital hearing aids make for an interesting hearing aid range? 

There are seven main improvements in the Audeo Paradise hearing aids from Phonak. Let's take a look at these improvements by comparing Phonak and Marvel hearing aids and how they can help you and your hearing loss. 

Better Phonak Bluetooth hearing aids in general

So, what's new since Marvel?  Let's start with the connectivity.  This addition offers universal connectivity, as it pairs up to eight different devices and allows for two to be actively paired at the same time.  Previously, you could only have one connection that was active with the Marvel hearing aid range.

Why is this beneficial?  Well, it's all about the convenience of switching between your favourite devices at home faster and easier.  You pair a device to your hearing aids and then it's stored - no fuss and no reconnecting.

You might think you won't need to pair upto eight devices, but you'd be amazed at how many devices you use everyday - there maybe four or five you use and this could increase over time.  With technology advancements, there might be more you'd want to easily access - effectively this universal connectivity is future-proof.

Connecting this way means that when you are streaming audio on your laptop you can answer calls without any trouble.  This is also great if you have both a personal and work phone and wanted to access them simultaneously without having to switch your Bluetooth on and off each phone.  

New tap control feature

This feature gives you true hands-free calls, pause/resume streaming capabilities and voice assistants like Siri and Alexa. 

Why is this beneficial?  Like universal connectivity, it is convenient and can make your life easier.  You just simply tap your hearing aid and you can control your Bluetooth features and answer and end calls.  You can also stream audio and then tap your hearing aid to pause and resume at your pleasure.

You can even set up this feature to activate digital assistants - your audiologist can help you set it up so it is more personable to you and how you will use it on a daily basis.  You can also do this yourself through the myPhonak app in your own time.  Using the tap control features this way enables you to access voice searches and you can even ask them to open your apps.

New onboard motion sensors

These, along with other features, power the above tap control feature and simply gives you a better hearing experience on the go.  The low-power accelerometer knows when you are on the go and adjusts the hearing aid's microphones and the setting of the noise cancellation.

Why are they beneficial?  If your hearing aid understands and reacts to your movement it will offer you better access to feature management and decisions of what happens in the processor.  This could be adjusting the device's microphones and noise-cancelling settings.

We think you'll notice the benefits of this feature more when you are walking and talking at the same time.  Phonak's Motion Sensors allows you to access sound and speech on the go without the annoyance of turning your head to hear who you are talking to, even in busy listening environments - like shopping centres.

New SpeechEnhancer technology

You can now benefit from clearer speech in quiet environments.  The Phonak Paradise reacts quicker to the complexities of loudness in all sounds as well as offering more comfort.  Since Marvel, there is also better amplification of soft speech in quiet listening environments. 

Why is this useful?  This can assist those who find it difficult to hear soft speech, especially in quiet atmospheres.  So your listening experience will be seamless.  To put this in perspective, you are in the kitchen writing and a member of your family is in the living room reading. 

The atmosphere is quiet and usually in that scenario when getting the other person's attention you'd feel there was no need to raise your voice to be heard because there is little or no background noise.  In this situation, with this feature, you would hear and understand what has been said.  Those with difficulty hearing soft speech might struggle in this situation usually.

New Dynamic Noise Cancellation technology

This is basically a suppression system that allows for better noise reduction in challenging environments, which you can control through the app or leave automatic.  There is a further signal-to-noise ratio 4dB boost if you need it. 

Why might you need this?  This would be handy if you needed an extra boost in challenging environments, so your hearing aids would assist you more effectively.  This might be set by your audiologist, knowing your unique needs in such environments or you can activate it as and when you need that boost on the go - such as socialising in a busy restaurant.

New PRISM processing chip

Phonak Audeo Paradise comes with a completely new chip that powers some great new features we didn't see in Marvel.  This new chip offers double the memory we saw in Marvel - also giving you better connectivity. 

This is arguably the most significant change in this new model called the PRISM sound processing chip or Processing Real-time Intelligent Sound Management. It also features double the memory of the Phonak Marvel model and a greater scope of Bluetooth connectivity options with this low-power consumption Made for Any Phone hearing aid. 

Why is this a good improvement?  Due to this new sound-processing chip, Paradise hearing aids can offer a little more power out of the hearing aid. 

For example, the Ultra Power Receiver (UP) offers 71 dB of gain and a max power output of 132.  So when we take Marvel into consideration, Paradise is 4 and 2 dB over the last Phonak range.  All the powers - Power, Medium and Standard get a 1dB increase in gain.

Better app overall

Finally, the myPhonak 5.0 app has improved with more functions such as a hearing diary to record how you use your devices.  There is also the ability to contact your hearing care professional for remote adjustments and to give them important data about how well your hearing so they can recommend different settings.

Phonak Audeo Paradise Universal Bluetooth Hearing Aids

Other hearing aid features and benefits

Remote adjustments

The new chipset also provides the power needed to boost Phonak Audeo Paradise's features and the main source of power for the new ones - especially the Motion-Sensors.  Phonak knows how important the concept of motion is to wearers and that's where this technology comes in. 

It allows them to gain better hearing and sound focus in either walking or running hearing experiences when you are talking to someone else.  On paper, this should mean better conversation in noise and movement, as well as natural sound and focus.

The Motion-Sensors also have another important role within the technology of Paradise and that is to manage the new Tap Control feature in the digital hearing aid. 

Access Phonak Audeo Paradise hearing aids Bluetooth technology

The Tap Control feature is definitely going to be one of the highlights of this new hearing aid - offering more functionality and control to the wearer.  In fact, it offers up to eight Bluetooth devices to be paired, as well as two to be connected at the same time.  Giving you multifunctional Bluetooth connectivity.

You can accept/end calls, pause/resume streaming and activate Voice Assistant on your smartphone - such as Siri.  Using the Voice Assistant and Tap Control together makes for easy-going access to great control and functionality, without the annoyance of multiple button pressing.  But, what about Phonak Paradise hearing aid compatibility?

General Phonak Audeo Paradise hearing aids compatibility

myPhonak app:  Bluetooth 4.2 and iOS 12.0 or Android 7.0.

Phonak Naida Paradise Hearing Aids

So, what do the Phonak Naida Paradise hearing aids bring to the table?

Phonak Naida Paradise hearing aids overview

In brief, when it was launched it was the first superpower hearing aid with universal Bluetooth capability - featuring Marvel 2.0 technology and Roger Direct connection.  Offering power users multifunctional features, powerful sound and direct connection to their favourite Bluetooth devices.

With Phonak Naida Paradise hearing aids, you can gain from the flexibility of streaming into both hearing aids at the same time for a more clear sound that is 10 times more natural (using a Roger Pen).  You can also use your Roger microphones to assist speech understanding in noise and over distance.

Phonak Virto Paradise Hearing Aids

 What do these hearing solutions offer?

An introduction into Phonak Virto Paradise hearing aids

Phonak Paradise hearing aids will be available in their popular Virto line of custom-made hearing aids, which includes their extra discreet Titanium model.  In all honesty, Phonak was due a new ITE custom-made hearing aid style and we predict these additional styles will be accepted well by consumers.

It is also worth mentioning that due to the Paradise hearing aids being a big step up since Marvel, mainly because of their new PRISM chipset - there would be no reason to invest in ITE models from the Marvel range.  For instance, the Phonak M-Titanium hearing aids are being replaced by the Virto P model.  

The Phonak Virto Paradise hearing aids combine discretion, a powerful PRISM chip, Paradise technology and advanced speech understanding.

Phonak Audeo Life Hearing Aids

The world's first rechargeable waterproof hearing aid

Phonak Audeo Life hearing aids overview

The Phonak Audeo Life is a completely new hearing aid, with a new outer case that has specifically designed microphone ports. The key highlight here though is that it is waterproof.  Life hearing aids can be submerged in around 1.64 feet of either fresh, salt or pool water.

Following a Phonak marketing research questionnaire back in 2020, 68% of people who wear hearing aids said they felt anxious about wearing their hearing aids in or around water.  Phonak has challenged this consensus by making these devices an ideal hearing solution for those who often put their devices in more challenging environments. Needing them to maintain performance and tackle more strenuous activities. 

Therefore, Audeo Life gives you the confidence that your hearing aid, no matter the conditions, will always provide optimum hearing performance and connectivity.  You can also gain Health Data Tracking features. This means you can access health performance indicators like counting your steps, showing you your activity levels and gaining access to set your own health goals for better well-being and overall health.

Key Features of Phonak Audeo Life:

• World's first waterproof and sweatproof rechargeable hearing aid.
• 16 hours of power with streaming and 24 hours after one full charge.
• The Audeo Life hearing aids are compatible with Phonak Charger Case Go and the Phonak Life Charger.
• They are compatible with Partner Mic, RemoteControl and the TV Connector Phonak accessories as well as the myPhonak app.
• Crisp and natural sound and great speech understanding.
• Multiple Bluetooth connections and universal connectivity.
• The world’s first waterproof rechargeable hearing aid
• Connects to both iPhone and Android smartphones.

Waterproof hearing aids before Audeo Life

Phonak Audeo Life, of course, isn't the first waterproof hearing aid - it's the first rechargeable waterproof hearing aid.  Before Life, there was the Signia/Siemens Aquaris which is now discontinued.  The Aquaris was overall a good hearing aid designed to not only be resistant to dust and moisture but also completely waterproof up to 1m for 30 minutes (IP68 rating) and a good level of features and wireless capability.

Fit offers health data tracking

In the audiology industry we know that hearing loss is linked to cognitive and overall health and if hearing loss is left untreated can hugely affect cognitive function. The industry also recognises and studies show that those with hearing loss generally move less. With the absence of regular exercise, mental and physical health is threatened.
