Phonak has announced the launch of its new custom Virto V range of hearing aids, they are based on their powerful Venture platform with Autosense OS which was introduced not too long ago. They presented the new custom hearing solutions today at the EUHA congress 2015 in Nuremberg, Germany. EUHA is a massive audiology trade conference, the most important one in the European market.. The new custom Virto Vrange is the latest addition to the their latest portfolio based on the Venture platform.

There is no other hearing aid this small, capable of this much performance
A bold claim made by their Group Vice President Martin Grieder, he went on to say “We are very sensitive to the needs of those seeking a discreet yet powerful hearing solution. The new Phonak Virto V offers an even clearer and more natural sound quality than the previous generation of custom hearing aids. There is no other hearing aid this small that is capable of this much performance.”
Audibly big, visibly small
“Phonak Virto V is a very big improvement in technology and in aesthetics. It’s also very comfortable,” said Bill Shull, a participant in the product validation study. “I don’t miss having to think about my hearing environment. My Virto V’s very effectively pick up where I am and what I need - and work seamlessly.”
A new smart solution for single-sided deafness
Phonak also introduced their new CROS II Custom, the only custom solution for single-sided deafness. It wirelessly transmits sound from the unaidable ear to a wireless custom Venture hearing aid worn on the better hearing ear. CROS systems are ideal solutions for people with single sided hearing loss. For the first time, they will have a custom hearing aid option from Phonak.
Longer Life Less Battery Consumption
The system allows people with single-sided deafness to hear speech from the side they could not hear from before. The CROS II system is also based on the Venture platform. They have also introduced steps to reduce battery drain. Because a CROS system works by streaming audio from one side to the other, battery consumption has always been an issue.
The new system now consumes up to 30% less battery than the previous CROS generation and delivers 40% better speech understanding in noise. Phonak CROS II Custom is compatible with all wireless Phonak Virto V hearing aids with Binaural VoiceStream Technology™.
