Unitron Hearing Aids

Who Are They

Although Unitron is a Canadian manufacturer they are owned by the Sonova Group which is a Swiss company that also owns Phonak. This is the same company that owns David Ormerod Hearing Centres, which in turn owns Boots the Chemist Hearing Care. The UK head office is in Warrington, Cheshire.

Despite their technology being very similar, Unitron hearing aids are often considered to be the lower cost alternative to Phonak. One of the latest innovations from Unitron was the launch of uHear. This is a hearing test app that users can download and administer themselves. The app was made available to iPhone users and in its first year got over half a million downloads.

Historical Unitron Hearing Aid Ranges

On this page you can find reference to, and explanation of, older and discontinued hearing aid ranges from Unitron. Most of these devices are no longer available, however, some like the Tempus custom hearing aids have not yet been replaced so you may still be offered them. You can take a look at modern Unitron hearing aids here.

North is The Way Forward

Unitron, a global innovator of technologically advanced hearing aids, has now launched the new North™ platform, its newest ground-breaking sound processing platform that can distinguish between different types of conversation. North’s SoundNav™ technology automatically identifies and classifies seven distinct sound environments. Four of them are focused specifically on conversation.

Unitron Stride, A Hearing Device To Suit Every Taste

The new Stride family of behind-the-ear (BTE) and in-the-ear (ITE) styles has style choices to satisfy every need, and technology that lets you focus on conversations like never before. Stride is the name of the new full range family of hearing aids from Unitron, the family has a full range of Behind The Ear and In The Ear hearing aid styles. 

The technology in the Stride family is based on the new North platform, they haven't settled on introducing a new platform though. New advances in custom hearing aid design has allowed them to introduce even smaller custom hearing aids with more onboard features than ever before. 

Clear Conversation in Every Situation

Conversations don’t just occur in quiet situations nor in simple noise. Background noise varies greatly depending on whether the listener is in small groups, at large events, in the car or on the street. The technologies in the new platform work together in harmony so that users experience the best speech understanding along with natural sound quality, in the widest variety of situations automatically.

​

 

New Hearing Instrument Design

Along with the launch of the North platform, Unitron has announced it is introducing a new generation of its popular receiver-in-canal (RIC) Moxi™ hearing instruments. The all-new Moxi Fit™ continues the design principles used to deliver the Moxi design. It has a fluid new look, giving users the perfect combination of style and functionality with a 312 battery, push button and telecoil.  Moxi Fit joins Moxi Kiss™ and Moxi Dura™, all available in five technology levels and all built on the North platform.

The new Moxi hearing instruments on the North platform are fully integrated with Unitron’s industry-leading Flex:trial™ program, which allows hearing healthcare professionals send patients home with free trial hearing instruments, and Flex:upgrade™, which facilitates in-clinic technology upgrades as hearing needs change.

New Logging Feature  

Unitron have also introduced Log It All™, an industry first data logging feature that captures and displays a user’s experiences with their hearing instruments across seven environments regardless of the technology level of the hearing aid.

This gives us the ability to measure the performance of hearing instruments in everyday use, as well as during trial and upgrade situations. It helps us explain the benefits of different technology levels in a personal way. It also allows us to deliver fine tuning in a more focused way.

 

Unitron North Pro

The Unitron North Pro is the flagship technology using the new "North" processor. As the flagship hearing aid from Unitron it is ideally suited to people who need to hear as well as possible in even the most challenging environments. The pro level of technology is available in both Moxi RIC (Receiver in Canal) devices and traditional BTE (Behind The Ear) and Custom devices (ITE) they have called Stride. 

Clear Conversation in Every Situation

Unitron know that conversations don’t just occur in quiet situations nor in just simple noise. The problem with background noise is that it varies greatly depending on the situation. The features in the new hearing aids work together so that you can experience the best speech understanding combined with natural sound quality, in the widest variety of situations, completely automatically.

Log It All

Unitron have also introduced Log It All™, an industry first data logging feature that captures and displays a your real life experiences with your hearing instruments across seven differing environments regardless of the technology level of the hearing aid.

This gives us the ability to measure the performance of your hearing instruments in everyday use, as well as during any trial or upgrade situations. It helps us explain the benefits of different technology levels in a personal way. Most importantly, it allows us to deliver fine tuning of the hearing aids for you in a more focused way.   

Unitron Stride Pro, A Hearing Device To Suit Every Taste

The new Stride family of behind-the-ear (BTE) and in-the-ear (ITE) styles has style choices to satisfy every need, and features that let you focus on conversations like never before. Stride is the name of the new full range family of hearing aids from Unitron, the family has a full range of Behind The Ear (BTE) and In The Ear hearing (ITE) aid styles. 

The technology in the Stride family is based on the new North platform, Unitron haven't settled on just introducing a new platform. New advances in custom hearing aid design has allowed them to introduce even smaller custom hearing aids that are packed with more features.  So let's look at the top end of hearing aid technology available from Unitron. 

Unitron Stride & Moxi Dura/Fit/Kiss Hearing Aids

New Hearing Instrument Design

Along with the launch of the North platform, Unitron also introduced a new geneneration of its popular receiver-in-canal (RIC) Moxi™ hearing instruments. The all-new Moxi Fit™ has a fluid new look, giving users the perfect combination of style and functionality with a 312 battery, push button and telecoil.  Moxi Fit joins Moxi Kiss™ and Moxi Dura™, all available in five technology levels and all built on the North platform.

The new Moxi hearing instruments on the North platform are fully integrated with Unitron’s industry-leading Flex:trial™ program, which allows us to demonstrate to patients exactly what they are interested in buying.

As we said, the Moxi RIC hearing aids comes in three distinct styles.

• Moxi Fit The "Fit" is only slightly larger than the Kiss, it includes both a push button and onboard telecoil which isn't often available on smaller RIC aids. 

• Moxi Kiss The "Kiss" is the slimmest and most discrete of the RIC options from UNitron, it is an exceptionally discreet option if you are not interested in the extra features which add size to the Moxi Fit and Moxi Dura.

• Moxi Dura The "Dura" is the most powerful of the three RIC devices available,  it is slightly larger to provide the amplification needed. If you are looking for a discreet Moxi solution but have a severe to profound hearing loss then this is the device for you.

The Stride hearing aids come in two BTE versions, and six custom ITE hearing aid types. 

• Stride P The new wireless 13 battery BTE pairs stylish design with dual controls

Moxi² Dura and Quantum² S are rated IP67

These ratings give you the peace of mind that your Unitron hearing instruments will continue to perform as expected even when exposed to harsh elements. It is important to note that IP57 denotes water resistant - not waterproof. Hearing instruments should never be worn in the shower or swimming, however, this rating means that an accidental drop into the sink, getting caught in a rainstorm, or stepping into the shower for a moment with them on will not be detrimental to performance once the devices are thoroughly dried out.
