Phonak Marvel Hearing Aids

Phonak Marvel Hearing Aid Features

The Phonak Audeo Marvel hearing aids allow for wearers to simply hear better in all soundscapes with crisp and clear sound quality.  Link up to all your favourite everyday Bluetooth devices to enhance your hearing experience even more - wherever you are. 

New Phonak Marvel hearing aid additions

In February 2020, along with a new M-Titanium and updated Naida model, Phonak launched their new custom-made hearing aid - The Phonak Virto Black.  The M-Titanium is a clever addition to their B-Titanium range - offering the latest innovation in super discreet custom hearing aids made from titanium, using Marvel technology instead of the Belong.

Phonak Virto Black hearing aids

The Phonak Virto Black includes their famous Marvel Technology, advanced Bluetooth connectivity and easy hands-free streaming.  The main pull here is the stylish black design of this model, which replicates the modern and popular hearables in today's market.  

Phonak Virto Black hearing aids connectivity

Phonak Virto Black enables seamless connectivity to the world - compatible with both iOS and Android smartphones as well as other audio devices. Your hearing is enhanced by the 16 hearing performance features that improve your listening experience and a microprocessor chip with 5 wireless protocols combining the following:

• Bluetooth Classic
• Bluetooth LE
• Binaural Voice Stream Technology
• Airstream Technology
• Roger

The Phonak Virto Black was designed to challenge the stigmas behind hearing aids and help improve the statistics of those who seek audiology treatment for their hearing loss early.  But, does it suppress those stigmas?  What does it offer the wearer?

Phonak Virto Black hearing aids Bluetooth

Phonak Virto Blacks wearers can benefit from picking up, ending or rejecting calls with a touch of their devices - whilst their phones are elsewhere.  The powerful Virto Black's microphones enable completely hands-free calls, as their hearing aids act as wireless headsets - resulting in hands-on control for consumers and easier communication.

Phonak Audeo Marvel Hearing Aids Reviews

Phonak Marvel Review - What did our audiologists think?

We have a lot of customers with Phonak Marvel hearing aids, they have been incredibly popular since they came out, however they do not necessarily suit everyone. We find Marvel to be a bit of a mixed bag, they are a must-have if you have an Android phone and want it to stream directly to your hearing aids without having to wear a clip-on Bluetooth accessory. They make a good rechargeable battery and they look nice and are easy to use. 

Phonak Marvel Hearing Aids - Improvements

Whilst the Phonak Marvel is undoubtedly a reliable hearing aid, there is something of a question mark over how effective they are in social occasions or other scenarios where background noise can be an issue. At the time of writing, it was a long wait until Phonak made any hardware improvements to the parts of their hearing aid that actually help you to hear better.

Yes, they can make hearing aids out of titanium now, yes they are good at the Bluetooth aspects, but for me, the main focus of a hearing aid should always be about making you hear better.
