Phonak custom devices are often applauded for their stylish design aesthetic. If you choose a custom hearing aid from Phonak, you can select an entirely invisible titanium model or an earbud size version that comes with a Bluetooth connection.
Regardless of the size of custom hearing aid you choose, you'll also need to select a technology level.
The Virto Paradise P90 gives you access to all Paradise features, including dynamic noise cancelation and speech enhancer, and better listening in the car. P90 also gives your hearing care provider the most customization ability. If you regularly travel or spend time in groups, this top-end level will probably be worth the additional cost.
- Regardless of size, Phonak Virto Paradise hearing aids are fully customizable, prescription hearing aid appropriate for mild-profound hearing loss
- If you have profound hearing loss, you will want to select the largest Virto model which comes with an higher-powered speaker
- Phonak hearing aids are prescription devices fit and programmed by a professional
- To create your custom hearing aids, a professional will take earmold impressions in a clinic or in your home. They will then send those impressions to the Phonak manufacturing facility where a one-of-one replica will be created for your hearing aids
- After an initial fitting, you can connect the largest half or full-shell wireless models to the Phonak app to receive remote care

- The largest Virto model includes directional microphones to manage complex environments
- Phonak Virto custom-molded devices sit comfortably in the ear. Some users with better hearing in lower frequencies prefer an open-fit behind-the-ear style hearing aid that allows more natural sound to pass into the ear canal
