It
is
hard
enough
paying
attention
to
and
dealing
with
unfamiliar
surroundings
at
the
best
of
times,
but
if
you
are
having
to
cope
with
a
hearing
defect
as
well,
it
can
at
times
seem
impossible.
Sounds
can
seem
muffled
and
voices
are
often
just
a
mumble.
To
add
problems,
some
hearing
aids
simply
amplify
all
sounds
–
even
the
loud
noises.
Phonak
hearing
aids
are
there
to
help
by
making
listening
easy.
Phonak
aids
can
be
found
in
a
variety
of
models,
each
one
working
their
way
up
the
technological
spectrum.
Analog
is
the
least
advanced
type
of
hearing
aid.
These
are
all
adjusted
manually
so
no
preferences
are
automatically
updated.
They
simply
receive
the
sound,
increase
the
volume
and
send
it
into
the
ear.
Digitally
programmable
devices
are
also
called
analog
programmable.
These
are
an
analog
hearing
aid
which
can
in
fact
be
programmed
by
using
a
computer.
These
are
a
good
option
if
you
cannot
afford
a
digital
device,
but
want
to
experience
many
of
the
benefits.
The
digital
Phonak
hearing
aids
are
designed
so
that
that
fit
completely
with
your
own
particular
preferences.
You
will
undoubtedly
adjust
the
volume
on
your
hearing
aid
to
suit
the
surroundings
you
are
in
for
example;
the
settings
will
be
different
at
the
theatre
than
they
are
in
your
own
living
room.
Once
you
have
manually
adjusted
the
volume
a
few
times,
the
impressive
Self
Learning
technology
will
adapt
to
your
circumstances
and
adjust
the
volume
automatically
depending
on
where
you
are.
The
Self
Logging
function
is
designed
to
store
information
which
has
been
entered
by
your
audiologist
while
the
AutoPilot
feature
automatically
changes
to
any
of
a
number
of
preset
channels.
Finally,
the
SurroundZoom
function
cuts
out
any
annoying
background
noises.
Phonak
have
just
created
a
model
called
the
microPower.
It
is
a
minute
device
weighing
just
two
grams.
Despite
its
miniscule
size,
it
is
powerful
enough
that
it
even
works
for
people
with
severe
hearing
difficulties.
It
is
a
BTE
(behind
the
ear)
hearing
aid
with
a
tiny
speaker
which
sits
in
the
ear
canal.
As
with
all
other
models
of
BTE's,
the
microphone
and
speaker
rest
separately
behind
and
on
the
ear.
Other
than
these
models,
Phonak
hearing
aids
can
also
be
found
in
other
designs
such
as
ITE
(in
the
ear).
These
however
are
only
really
suitable
for
hearing
loss
which
is
not
too
bad.
BTE
hearing
aids
are
much
more
suited
to
children
and
those
with
any
level
of
hearing
loss.
While
Phonak
hearing
aids
(or
any
other
hearing
aids)
are
not
able
to
give
you
back
your
hearing
to
how
it
was
before
you
suffered
any
loss,
they
do
make
it
increasingly
easier
to
hear
and
understand
everything
which
goes
on
around
you.
They
are
well
worth
looking
into
if
you
need
a
hearing
aid.
