Hearing aids made by Unitron

Unitron offers several product families each containing different performance levels. As with other manufacturers, the higher performance levels have the most sophisticated features and come with a higher retail price.

• Moxi – This product family consists of four receiver in the canal (RIC) instruments including the Moxi Now, Moxi Fit, Moxi Kiss and Moxi Dura. The instruments are different sizes and offer slightly different features for most every hearing loss and preference. The newest member of the Moxi family is the Moxi Fit R, a tiny rechargeable RIC instrument.
• Stride – Made up of three behind the ear (BTE) hearing aids with different levels of power, a full line of in the ear (ITE) hearing aids, and five technology levels, Stride is Unitron’s most versatile product line.
• Max – Consisting of two traditional BTE models and offered in three technology levels, the Max product line is specifically designed for people with severe and profound hearing loss.

Pediatric, specialty and tinnitus products made by Unitron

Unitron does not offer products exclusively geared towards infants, toddlers and teens. However, their BTE products are equipped with some features that can be helpful for the pediatric population such as direct audio input (DAI), essential for classroom learning.

Unitron offers a unique feature called Flex that allows an interactive try-before-you-buy customized experience perfect for first-time hearing aid wearers. The Flex program also offers easy technology upgrades and the ability for wearers to provide real-time feedback about their hearing aid experience directly to their hearing healthcare professional using a smartphone app. Flex can help providers better accommodate your preferences.

All technology levels and all product families offered by Unitron contain a tinnitus masking feature that can, with the guidance of your hearing care professional, help you overcome tinnitus and make it less noticeable while you are wearing your hearing aids.

Assistive listening devices made by Unitron

Like other hearing aid manufacturers, Unitron offers many different types of accessories and assistive listening devices that work with their hearing aids to enhance the listening experience or help you hear better in very specific listening situations.
