The regular charging case only requires a six-hour charge for 24 hours of listening. It is a hard-case, to protect your hearing aids, and it also boasts drying capabilities to ensure that your hearing aids do not trap moisture. A compact mini-charger is available for travels.

In quieter environments, Audeo B-R gives wearers 10% improvement in soft-speech understanding. Audeo B-R is equipped with features such as AutoSense OS and SoundRecover, both of provide wearers with a more flexible and effortless listening experience. AutoSense OS analyzes sound in the wearer’s environment every 0.4 seconds to blend and adjust sound for better listening.

Audeo B-R is available in four performance levels and nine colors. As a receiver-in-canal hearing aid, Audeo B-R is customized to fit the wearer’s ears. Audeo B-R is designed to treat mild to severe hearing loss.

Phonak’s brand new Belong Platform is designed on user feedback, which expressed a need for small design and comfort, wireless communication, lower power consumption, ease of use, and automation. Belong addresses these needs, and ultimately provides hearing aid wearers with two of the most important elements: speech intelligibility and natural sound experience.

Belong’s lithium-ion rechargeable battery technology, AutoSense OS, and new, slim design all provide wearers with ease of use, performance, and discreet aesthetics. Additionally, with four years of battery life, wearers need not worry about replacing their batteries any time soon!
