Wireless Technology from Phonak

In case you hadnt noticed, the world went wireless while you werent looking. Oh, maybe you were looking, but that darned hearing aid made cell phone calls all but impossible, and the only way you could enjoy music wirelessly was to amp up the volume, causing more damage to an already wounded hearing system.

So, the wireless revolution has been a revolution in name only for those of us who use hearing devices to enjoy life to the max without turning the volume up to the max. But that all changes with Phonaks release of two, fully wireless hearing devices – Exlia and Nada both of which employ wireless technology to not only hook you up but improve sound quality.

VoiceZoom delivers unparalleled sound quality regardless of the source of the sound.
