Phonak Audeo Smart IX Hearing Aids

Phonak Audeo SMART IX Hearing Aids are a top end CRT solution, incorporating the premium innovations of the CORE audio-processing platform, such as SoundFlow Premium, ZoomControl and DuoPhone and plus the freedom of full wireless functionality. SoundRecover expands audibility for the full spectrum of sounds, and the Phonak Audeo SMART IX Hearing Aid fitting range accommodates mild to severe hearing losses. If you value size/style and demand ultimate performance with flexible control, select the Phonak Audeo SMART IX.

* DuoPhone -The phone signal is heard automatically in both ears
Optimal understanding on the phone is achieved through bilateral hearing. With DuoPhone, as soon as the phone is held to the ear the signal is heard in both ears. Background noise is reduced and clarity significantly improved. The phone can be used with confidence and listening becomes enjoyable again. It’s wire-free and ready to use.
* ZoomControl with DirectTouch - Ability to choose the hearing focus
ZoomControl combines real-audio streaming with directional beamforming for a truly unique benefit – the ability to choose in which direction to focus hearing. Finally you get a real solution to challenging situations where you cannot face the speaker, such as listening in a car. ZoomControl can be used either with the remote control myPilot or manually.
* EchoBlock System - Reverberation cancellation
In places of quiet worship or at indoor sporting events, the efficient management of distortion and blurring comes into play, making these reverberant hearing environments once again pleasant for you.
* SoundRelax - Impulse noise suppression
SoundRelax instantly and accurately identifies impulse sounds applies gain reduction relative to the original peak signal characteristics without altering (Maximum Power Output) MPO. SoundRelax cushions otherwise unpleasant impulse sounds without affecting speech clarity or causing unnatural perception of other sounds.
* Real Ear Sound - Natural sound orientation
When microphones are placed outside the pinna, natural front/back and vertical localization cues can be lost. Real Ear Sound, simulates the performance characteristics of the pinna. The result is restored localization and the ability to experience natural sound perception.
* WindBlock Management - Dual step wind noise reduction
WindBlock Management utilizes a newly engineered wind identification and classification system. The powerful, adaptive algorithm automatically suppresses wind noise. Teamed with a microphone shield, it allows you to enjoy the outdoors without compromise.
* NoiseBlock Processing - Premium comfort in background noise
NoiseBlock Processing analyzes and recognizes sounds different from speech and automatically reduces them. Thanks to its multi-channel capability, it selectively removes noise while maintaining audibility.
* SoundFlow Premium - Continuous and instant optimization to all environments
The sound environments of life are varied and challenging. In real time, SoundFlow creates a unique program perfectly adapted to every new environment. The result is a seamless transition between hearing situations, with optimum clarity and comfort, no matter what the environment. SoundFlow is available in all CORE products, in the three levels SoundFlow Premium, Advanced and Standard.
* VoiceZoom - Multi-channel adaptive directionality
Dual microphone technology pioneered by Phonak is the proven way to improve speech intelligibility in noise. VoiceZoom takes the concept of directional hearing to the next level. This high-resolution beamformer uses up to 33 channels for a superior management of background noise.
* SoundRecover - Non linear frequency compression
This Phonak proprietary algorithm is designed to compress and shift high frequencies into an adjacent area of audible hearing. Frequencies below the kneepoint are not compressed or altered in any way. This unique approach enables high-frequency information to be compressed with minimal artifacts. High-pitched sounds like children’s voices, birdsong and alarm clocks become audible again and the understanding of speech is greatly improved. SoundRecover is of great benefit for wearers with all degrees of hearing loss.
* WhistleBlock Technology - Feedback free hearing
WhistleBlock Technology benefits from the new feedback identification and tagging module. This additional step occurs just before feedback suppression is actually activated. It differentiates between naturally occurring feedback-like sounds and true feedback. To reliably identify true feedback means that a much more aggressive feedback cancellation strategy is applied. This means increased audibility and sound quality that is free from annoying feedback.
* Acoustically Optimized Venting (AOV) - Minimum occlusion
A proprietary, multidimensional-weighted algorithm sets an ideal target “acoustic mass” for each vent. A proprietary, multidimensional-weighted algorithm sets an ideal target “acoustic mass” for each vent. The sophisticated 3D modeling software generates an individualized vent. This unique AOV value is coded into each instrument and used by iPFG to optimize the fitting calculation. Occlusion can now be reduced to the lowest level possible. This exclusive, clinically proven Phonak innovation is available in the full range of custom products and styles. It also fits for BTE wearers with a new SlimTip Soft or cShell, xShell or SlimTip.
* QuickSync -Control both instruments with one touch
One-touch controls two. The instantaneous broadband transfer of data between two instruments ensures that volume and program settings are always balanced and synchronized. To make changes, you simply have to touch one of the ergonomically designed manual controls on one side.
