Phonak Hearing Aids
Phonak is one of the most widely fit hearing aid brands in the world, known for universal Bluetooth connectivity, waterproof rechargeable models, and the strongest power options in the industry. Our Doctors of Audiology fit, program, and service the full Phonak lineup.
- Fitted by Doctors of Audiology
- Verified with real-ear measurement
- Independent practice — we fit all major brands
Why We Fit Phonak
Phonak offers an exceptionally broad range of hearing solutions, with particular strengths in universal Bluetooth connectivity, powerful amplification, pediatric hearing care, and Roger remote microphone technology.
Like every manufacturer we work with, Phonak isn’t the right choice for everyone. We recommend it when its technology, features, or product options are the best match for your hearing and your everyday needs.
The Independent-Practice Difference
Unlike manufacturer-owned clinics that can only sell one brand, Sounds of Life is an independent practice. We fit all six major hearing aid brands and recommend Phonak when it's genuinely the best match for your hearing loss, lifestyle, and budget — not because a quota says so. If another brand suits you better, that's what we'll tell you.
Current Phonak Product Families
Model names change with each release cycle, but these are the families we fit and service. We'll match you to the current model and technology tier that fits your needs.
Audéo — Receiver-in-Canal (RIC)
Phonak’s popular receiver-in-canal family for adults with a wide range of hearing losses. Current models include rechargeable options, universal Bluetooth connectivity, and Audéo Sphere models with dedicated processing for speech in background noise.
Best for: Adults with mild to severe hearing loss who want a discreet, connected hearing aid
- Universal Bluetooth — pairs with iPhone, Android, and many other devices
- Rechargeable options
- Audéo Sphere models add dedicated processing for speech in noise
- Multiple technology levels
Audéo is one of our most frequently fit hearing aids, especially for patients who stream calls and audio from more than one kind of device.
Virto — Custom In-Ear
Custom hearing aids built specifically for your ears, with styles and technology options designed for patients who prefer an in-ear solution.
Best for: Patients who prefer a hearing aid that sits in the ear rather than behind it
- Custom-made from an impression of your ear
- Range of sizes, from very discreet to easier-to-handle styles
- Rechargeable and Bluetooth options on select models
We help patients weigh size against ease of handling — the smallest option isn’t always the most practical for everyday use.
Naída — Power Behind-the-Ear
Phonak’s high-power family for patients who need greater amplification, including options for severe and profound hearing loss.
Best for: Severe to profound hearing loss
- Phonak’s strongest amplification
- Rechargeable and disposable-battery models
- Compatible with Roger remote microphones
For power users, pairing Naída with a Roger microphone can make a real difference in meetings, lectures, and noisy restaurants.
Bolero — Behind-the-Ear
Traditional behind-the-ear hearing aids for patients who benefit from a BTE design without requiring Naída’s highest levels of power.
Best for: Mild to severe hearing loss in a traditional behind-the-ear style
- Classic behind-the-ear design that’s easy to handle
- Rechargeable and replaceable-battery models
- Bluetooth streaming from compatible phones
Bolero can be a practical choice for patients with limited dexterity who find smaller devices difficult to handle.
Sky — Pediatric
Hearing aids designed specifically for children, with pediatric-focused features and compatibility with classroom and remote microphone technology.
Best for: Infants, children, and teens
- Designed specifically around children’s listening needs
- Bright color options kids actually want to wear
- Designed to work with Roger classroom microphones
For children, we coordinate with parents and schools so hearing aids and classroom technology work together.
Roger — Remote Microphone Systems
Roger microphones send a speaker’s voice directly to compatible hearing aids, helping overcome distance and background noise in classrooms, meetings, restaurants, lectures, and other difficult listening environments.
Best for: Anyone who struggles with distance or noise, even with well-fit hearing aids
- Sends the speaker’s voice directly to your hearing aids
- Helpful in classrooms, meetings, lectures, and restaurants
- Works with Phonak hearing aids and, with a receiver, many other brands
Roger is often the single biggest upgrade for patients who still struggle in noise — sometimes more than moving up a technology level.
Phonak Technology Levels
Within Phonak product families, the number identifies the technology level:
- 90Premium
- 70Advanced
- 50Mid-Level
- 30Standard
Higher levels offer additional features and more advanced processing for certain listening situations. The highest level isn’t automatically the right choice for everyone — we recommend technology based on your hearing, listening needs, and the environments where you need to hear well.
When Phonak May Be a Great Fit
Phone & Bluetooth Users
Phonak offers broad Bluetooth compatibility with both iPhone and Android, including hands-free calling — especially useful if phone calls and streaming are an important part of your day.
People Who Need More Power
Phonak offers an extensive range of high-power options for severe to profound hearing loss, including the Naída family.
Children & Students
Phonak has a strong pediatric ecosystem, with hearing aids designed specifically for children and seamless integration with Roger technology for classrooms and other learning environments.
People Who Need Help Across Distance & Noise
Sometimes hearing aids alone aren’t enough. Roger remote microphones can send a speaker’s voice directly to your hearing aids, making them especially valuable for meetings, classrooms, lectures, group settings, and other challenging listening situations.

In most cases, yes. We provide cleaning, maintenance, and repair services for most major brands including Phonak. Call (440) 579-4085 with your model and we’ll confirm what we can do for your specific devices.
Not necessarily — and the same is true in reverse. Phonak, Oticon, and ReSound all make excellent hearing aids, but they approach sound processing, connectivity, features, and product design differently. Because we fit all major hearing aid manufacturers, we can recommend the brand and technology that best match your hearing, listening needs, preferences, and priorities.
