Unitron Smile Moxi S-R9 Hearing Aids Overview
The Unitron Moxi Smile S-R 9 hearing aids deliver great performance, designed to support your hearing in every environment, whether you're enjoying a quiet moment at home or navigating a noisy social gathering. Thanks to its advanced sound processing, the Moxi Smile 9 automatically scans your surroundings and adapts to ensure speech remains clear, even in background noise.
Ensuring speech clarity even when background noise would usually make conversation difficult, like during a natter with friends at a busy coffee shop.
Built on the same reliable chipset found in the Phonak Audeo Infinio range, the Moxi Smile S-R 9 benefits from shared innovation and advanced technology. Offering a high level of reliability and audio quality, you can count on it daily, from your morning commute to your evening wind-down. Quick product specifics:
- Rechargeable: Fully charges in 3–4 hours
- Technology: Features advanced speech intelligibility
- Connectivity: Standard Bluetooth compatibility
- Suitable for: Mild, moderate, and severe hearing loss
- Fitting options: Compatible with domes and various types of earmoulds
Key features include:
- Pinna Effect 2: This technology mimics the natural shape of the outer ear to better localise sounds. For example, when walking your dog through the park and someone calls your name from behind, you’ll be able to instinctively tell where it came from – a small but important feature that significantly enhances everyday awareness and safety.
- Double tap control: Easily start or stop streaming, and answer or end phone calls with a simple tap. Answering calls while cooking or ending a podcast while your hands are full is now effortless.
- AI-trained Integra OS: Expertly detects 8 key listening environments and automatically optimises the listening experience for the ever-changing soundscape. Imagine popping into your favourite cafe, then heading out to a quieter street, followed by a quick stop at a busy market.
The Integra OS automatically detects and adapts to each unique environment, whether you're having a quiet chat indoors or trying to follow a conversation in a crowded outdoor market.
- Integra OS Automation System: Automatically optimises settings across a wide range of sound environments such as: Conversation in Quiet, Conversation in Noise, Conversation in Small Groups, Conversation in Crowds, Conversation in Loud Noise, Music, Quiet, and General Noise.
- AutoFocus 360: This feature ensures speech is prioritised from all directions, using intelligent noise reduction to minimise surrounding sounds. When you're at a family gathering or networking event and people are talking from all directions, there's no need to constantly turn your head to hear clearly.
- Automatic HyperFocus: Designed for extremely noisy situations, like busy restaurants, this feature hones in on speech in challenging environments. Perfect for when everyone’s talking at once and you don't want to miss a story or a joke.
- IP68 rating: Offers protection from water, dust and moisture, making these hearing aids durable and reliable in daily life.
- AI Dome Proposer: More accurate dome recommendations powered by AI models trained on thousands of successful fittings, ensuring more comfort and better acoustic performance right from the start.

If you are looking at this page then it is likely that an audiologist has suggested that you purchase this particular hearing aid, so is this the best model for you?
In general, any audiologist will always recommend to you the model that best suits your needs. Here is a useful checklist to make sure that is the case.
- Audiologist level of knowledge: The audiologist you have seen will hopefully have a wide knowledge of all available hearing aids, however, some will only be familiar with a small number of brands and therefore may not really be in a position to know which model is the best for you. It is OK to challenge their recommendation and ask them to justify why this particular brand is the one for you.
- Do research: Read about the hearing aid that was recommended. Does it seem like it will suit your lifestyle? Does it have more or fewer features than you need?
- Be aware of sales targets: Many high street retailers have specific tie-ins to a particular manufacturer/brand. The hearing aid they have suggested may still be the correct one for you, but do your research so that you know why they might have recommended it.
If in doubt, feel free to give us a call. That's what we're here for. In the meantime, read all about our review of the best hearing aids for 2025 here
If you have significant hearing loss in both ears, you should be wearing two hearing aids. Here are the audiological reasons why:
Localisation: The brain decodes information from both ears and compares and contrasts them. By analysing the minuscule time delays as well as the difference in the loudness of each sound reaching the ears, the person is able to accurately locate a sound source. Simply put, if you have better hearing on one side than the other, you can't accurately tell what direction sounds are coming from.
Less amplification is required: A phenomenon known as “binaural summation” means that the hearing aids can be set at a lower and more natural volume setting than if you wore only one hearing aid.
Head shadow effect: High frequencies, the part of your hearing that gives clarity and meaning to speech sounds, cannot bend around your head. Only low frequencies can. Therefore if someone is talking on your unaided side you are likely to hear that they are speaking, but be unable to tell what they have said.
Noise reduction: The brain has its own built-in noise reduction which is only really effective when it is receiving information from both ears. If only one ear is aided, even with the best hearing aid in the world, it will be difficult for you to hear in background noise as your brain is trying to retain all of the sounds (including background noise) rather than filtering it out.
Sound quality: We are designed to hear in stereo. Only hearing from one side sounds a lot less natural to us.

For most people, the main benefit of a rechargeable hearing aid is simple convenience. We are used to plugging in our phones and other devices overnight for them to charge up. Here are some other pros and cons:
For anybody with poor dexterity or issues with their fingers, having a rechargeable aid makes a huge difference as normal hearing aid batteries are quite small and some people find them fiddly to change.
One downside is that if you forget to charge your hearing aid, then it is a problem that can't be instantly fixed. For most a 30-minute charge will get you at least two or three hours of hearing, but if you are the type of person who is likely to forget to plug them in regularly then you're probably better off with standard batteries.
Rechargeable aids are also a little bit bigger and are only available in Behind the Ear models.
Finally, just like with a mobile phone, the amount of charge you get on day one is not going to be the same as you get a few years down the line. Be sure to ask what the policy is with the manufacturer warranty when it comes to replacing the battery.

For most people, the answer is yes. But it's never that simple.
The majority of hearing problems affect the high frequencies a lot more than the low ones. Therefore open fitting hearing aids sound a lot more natural and ones that block your ears up can make your own voice sound like you are talking with your head in a bucket. Therefore in-ear aids tend to be less natural.
However the true answer is we can't tell until we have had a look in your ears to assess the size of your ear canal, and until we have tested your hearing to see which frequencies are being affected.
People with wider ear canals tend to have more flexibility, also there are open fitting modular CIC hearing aids now that do not block your ears.
There is also the age old rule to consider, that a hearing aid will not help you if it's sat in the drawer gathering dust. If the only hearing aid you would be happy wearing is one that people can't see, then that's what you should get.
Most people can adapt to any type of hearing aid, as long as they know what to expect. Have an honest conversation with your audiologist as to what your needs are.
Generally speaking, six or more. Unless it's none at all.
The number of channels a hearing aid has is often a simplistic way an audiologist will use to explain why one hearing aid is better than another, but channels are complex and it is really not that straightforward. Here are some reasons why:
Hearing aids amplify sounds of different frequencies by different amounts. Most people have lost more high frequencies than low and therefore need more amplification in the high frequencies. The range of sounds you hear are split into frequency bands or channels and the hearing aids are set to provide the right amount of hearing at each frequency level.
Less than six channels and this cannot be done with much accuracy, so six is the magic number. However, a six channel aid is typically very basic with few other features and is suitable only for hearing a single speaker in a quiet room. The number of channels is not what you should be looking at, it's more the rest of the technology that comes with them.
As a final note, different manufacturers have different approaches. One method is not necessarily better than any other. For example, some manufacturers have as many as 64 channels in their top aids. Most tend to have between 17 and 20. One manufacturer has no channels at all.
Hearing aids are easily lost, misplaced or damaged and typically are one of the most expensive personal possessions an individual can own. We offer hearing aid warranty coverage for £80 per year per aid. Find out more about this service we provide here
