Phonak are one the largest hearing aid manufacturers in the world. They are based in Switzerland and are part of the Sonova Group, which includes Unitron.
The Phonak Naida Paradise range of hearing aids have superseded the Phonak Naida Marvel.
The Naida Paradise is available in 4 technology levels: P30, P50, P70 and P90 being the top of the range model.
The Phonak Naida Paradise can be fitted with slim tube and a dome or a standard tube and an ear mould.
Phonak have improved the Bluetooth protocol for Naida Paradise which enables Paradise devices to be paired to up to eight Bluetooth devices and be connected to two simultaneously.
Naida Paradise also allows for true hands-free use of a mobile, keep your phone in your pocket and answer your phone call by pressing a button on the hearing aid.
Phonak Paradise runs on the new PRISM (Processing Real-time Intelligent Sound Management) and includes new motion sensors in the rechargeable version.
The chip runs the new AutoSense 4.0 software. AutoSense constantly scans the listening environment and fine tunes the audio with up to 200 adjustments for an optimised listening experience.
The new motion sensors will detect when the user is stationary or in motion and then automatically adjusts the microphones and the dynamic noise reduction system to maximise speech intelligibility. The new motion sensor is only available in the R version 70 and 90.
New Speech Enhancer is designed to enhance one-on-one conversations when people maybe speaking softly by providing more gain on the soft input speech signals.
The new Dynamic Noise Cancellation system employs a directional beamformer when users are trying to understand speech in a loud environment. The new system works in combination with Phonak’s adaptive beamformer as well as the motion sensor.
Phonak have introduced a new Tap feature to Paradise Hearing Aids. By simply tapping the hearing aids you are able to answer calls, pause or resume streaming or activate your virtual assistant (e.g. Siri).
Naida Paradise uses the prescription Adaptive Phonak Digital 2.0 designed for severe and profound hearing losses. The new gain processing algorithm with the advantages of adaptive compression allows for more fitting flexibility for precise customisation and deliver a natural sound.
The Phonak Paradise Remote app allows users to make multiple adjustments to the hearing aids.
Phonak have released a new app called Speech to Text. This app will transcribe so the user can read what is being said in real time.
