of their Phonak. This exclusive innovation is key to client satisfaction.
Now SoundRecover is available for all audiometric configurations.
“I can now hear sounds again that I couldn’t hear
before anymore, like birds singing and the phone
ringing while I‘m watching television. That really
makes my life so much easier.”
“SoundRecover is phenomenal! My clients consistently
report clearly better speech understanding …
Objective speech tests also confirm this, with almost
all clients, after just a short time of use. I am absolutely
convinced by this feature.”

Only a Phonak hears like a Phonak:
our unique features and benefits
SoundRecover
This Phonak proprietary algorithm is designed to compress and shift
high frequencies into an adjacent area of audible hearing. Frequencies
below the kneepoint are not compressed or altered in any way. This
unique approach enables high-frequency information to be compressed
with minimal artifacts. High-pitched sounds like children’s voices,
birdsong and alarm clocks become audible again and the understanding
of speech is greatly improved. SoundRecover is of great benefit for
wearers with all degrees of hearing loss.

ZoomControl
ZoomControl combines real-audio streaming with directional beamforming
for a truly unique benefit – the ability to choose in which direction to
focus hearing. Finally you can offer clients a real solution to challenging
situations where they cannot face the speaker, such as listening in a
car. ZoomControl can be used either with the remote control myPilot
or manually.
SoundFlow
The sound environments of life are varied and challenging. In real time,
SoundFlow creates a unique program perfectly adapted to every new
environment. The result is a seamless transition between hearing situations,
with optimum clarity and comfort, no matter what the environment.
SoundFlow is available in the three levels SoundFlow Premium, Advanced
and Standard.

Directionality with VoiceZoom
Dual microphone technology pioneered by Phonak is the proven way to
improve speech intelligibility in noise. VoiceZoom takes the concept
of directional hearing to the next level. This high-resolution beamformer
uses up to 33 channels for a superior management of background noise.
DuoPhone
DuoPhone landline
Optimal understanding on the phone is achieved through binaural hearing.
With DuoPhone, as soon as the phone is held to the ear the signal is
heard in both ears. Background noise is reduced and clarity significantly
improved. The phone can be used with confidence and listening
becomes enjoyable again. It’s wire-free and ready to use.
Acoustically Optimized Venting, AOV
A proprietary, multidimensional-weighted algorithm sets an ideal target
“acoustic mass” for each vent. The sophisticated 3D modeling software
generates an individualized vent. This unique AOV value is coded
into each instrument and used by iPFG to optimize the fitting calculation.
Occlusion can now be reduced to the lowest level possible. This exclusive,
clinically proven Phonak innovation is available in the full range of
custom products and styles. It is also available for BTE wearers with
SlimTip, cShell or xShell.

Fitting made even easier for you and the client
iCube, the CableFree Fitting device
Transfer Settings
iCube uses the wireless capabilities of the CORE
platform. This makes it easy to transfer fitting data
from your PC, streaming it directly to the hearing
systems. The result:
a fast, smooth and
reliable CableFree
Fitting process.
This new function enables you to transfer the settings
of already fitted hearing systems, across styles and
families, to other hearing systems. This allows you to
rapidly upgrade your client without losing the finetuning of the previous fitting.
What’s new in iPFG 2.5
The groundbreaking Phonak innovations are perfectly
complemented by the new iPFG Successware.
The latter gives you access to all the new features and
accessories while keeping the process intuitive and
straightforward.
Improved AOV handling for SlimTip and
cShell earpieces
The AOV (Acoustic Optimized Vent) has been a great
success for custom devices as well as for SlimTips
and cShells. By entering a 6-digit numeric code it is
possible to set all relevant acoustical parameters
of a SlimTip or a cShell to the right values. The code
will be provided with each individualized SlimTip
or cShell.

Physician Referral Kit
Research has shown that people are five times more
likely to seek a hearing solution if their physician
gives a positive recommendation than if the physician
gives a negative one. Physicians are one of the main
referral sources and effective physician marketing
and relationship management is highly relevant for
hearing care professionals.

financial investment. The need for security and ease of
mind when purchasing a hearing system and making
such an investment is an important influencer for a
buying decision, especially for elderly people.
By offering your clients an insurance, you provide
them with an added value. There is no financial risk
involved for you or your client.
