With the advent of NAIDA, the new POWER instrument from Phonak, all the new generation features available in non-power models are now available for severe to profound losses. An incredible new features called SoundRecover, available exclusively for severe to profound losses, enables the wearer to hear sounds technology was previously incapable of restoring. Naida should be the first choice for everyone with a severe to profound loss. SoundRecover Significant hearing loss is associated with poor high frequency hearing. To date this cannot be compensated for with traditional amplification, which means that key speech information such as “s” and “sh” remains inaudible. These audibility gaps make daily communication extremely difficult and tiring, and may also impact the clarity of a wearer’s own speech. In addition, sounds such as songbirds, telephone rings, alarms and doorbells are not heard. SoundRecover is designed to compress and shift high frequencies into an adjacent area of audible hearing.
This unique approach enables high frequency information to be compressed without producing artifacts. Extensive
worldwide field studies have shown…
SoundRecover is the most important breakthrough in power amplification since the move from body-worn to behind-the-ear instruments. PowerProcessing and BassBoost Audibility is the foundation for wearers with a significant hearing loss. Naida provides the highest gain and output. WaterResistant, sweat-proof, dirt-proof A special silicone lining, gaskets at the receiver tube and programming switch and a protection mat under the volume control and programming socket have been added to prevent dirt and moisture entering the hearing aid. In addition, the microphone and battery door openings are shielded by a special POREX material. The Naida housings allow wearers to use their instruments while doing rigorous labour or strenuous exercise, being active outdoors in humid climates or even when unexpectedly caught in the rain. NAIDA offers no less than seven groundbreaking design elements: High-performance processors Six high-performance processors and eight million transistors form a wireless processing engine with unprecedented intelligence, capable of performing over 120 million operations per second. Broadband wireless audio signal exchange The broadband frequency width supports fast exchange of large amounts of real-audio data, resulting in unlimited possibilities of hearing instrument functionality and connectivity options. Body Area Network enables Naida supports the creation of a Body Area Network incorporating an expandable hearing instruement and accessory network. Unmatched user interaction The high-performance communication channel supports multiple accessories and allows sophisticated real-time user interaction (iCube, iCom, myPilot, iView). Highly specialised audiology instruction set Designed specifically for optimized hearing system performance, Naida has a highly specialized audiology instruction set, from signal processing and automatic functionality to enhanced directionality plus noise and feedback management. CableFree Fitting The broadband communication ability of the platform enables the wireless programming of instruments. Miniaturisation The overall dimension the Naida chipset is unmatched in the hearing care industry. For further information talk with one of our Audiologists or click on the links below.

For many years POWER instruments were focused on providing raw grunt with
little finesse. Lots of volume equalled audibility. Most software advances only applied to mild, moderate and moderately
severe losses.
