Owned by Swiss-based Sonova Group, Phonak products can be found in more than 100 countries around the world. Its United States headquarters is in Warrenville, Illinois.

Phonak's mission is to create easy-to-use and technologically advanced hearing aids and assistive listening devices to help people find hearing enjoyable again.

Hearing aids made by Phonak

Phonak Audeo Paradise — *Audéo Paradise*

Phonak's premium hearing aid is the Audéo Fit, which has health tracking capabilities, such as heart rate and activity levels. The Fit Lumity model is waterproof up to 50 cm.

The Audeo line of hearing aids also includes everything their previous premium model (Paradise) had, such as the latest in speech enhancing technology, dynamic noise cancellation and motion sensor hearing.

The Audéo Fit and Paradise models are suitable for mild to severe hearing loss.

These hearing aids come with Tap Control to activate Siri or Alexa, answer or reject calls, and pause streaming or audio. They also have Bluetooth capability, tinnitus masking, and a rechargeable battery option. They're offered exclusively as a receiver-in-canal (RIC) style. In other words, the speaker of the hearing aid rests in the ear canal, but the microphone and processor sit in a tiny case behind the ear. Learn more about hearing aids types and styles.

Long-wearing hearing aids

Also notable is Phonak's Lyric, the only invisible-in-the-ear hearing aid on the market that can be worn long-term, for months at a time. In addition, their CROS line of hearing aids is specially designed for people with single-sided hearing.

Phonak also makes several other models, including hearing aids for kids and for adults with severe-to-profound hearing loss:

Assistive listening devices made by Phonak

In addition to an extensive line-up of hearing aids, Phonak has developed a wide range of apps, wireless accessories and assistive technology to work with their hearing aids to improve hearing ability in special situations. These include the Roger On, which is a microphone that can amplify multiple speakers, the Roger Table Mic 11, a microphone dedicated to working adults in meetings, and the TV connector, to stream TV and music into your hearing aids.

Phonak's sister company Advanced Bionics makes cochlear implants and other technologies that can work in tandem with Phonak hearing aids.
