We believe that we are the best option for you for hearing care in Scotland, but we know you shouldn't rely on what we say. So we asked one of our customers to tell you about us so you could make up your own mind. You can hear what they say on the video to the right. The new hearing aid range from Phonak, the Audéo V, is a Receiver-In-Canal (RIC) hearing aid, making it a versatile but highly discreet option. The Audeo V replaces the Audeo Q hearing aid family. The choice of hair and skin colours that Phonak have made available enhances the hearing aid's discreetness if that what you want. The fashion and fun colours make sure that you can show them off, if that is more your style. Phonak have ensured that they have something to suit every style. The hearing devices deliver fantastic support in even the most challenging listening situations, as you would expect from such a quality hearing aid manufacturer. they really are a complete package, great sound quality and a discreet, modern design. The Audeo V delivers:
The four behind the ear models of Audeo are the V50-10 which takes a size 10 battery, the Audeo V50-312 which takes a size 312 battery. The Audeo V50-312T is the same again but with the addition of a telecoil receiver for a loop system. The Audeo V50-13 is the largest and fits a size 13 battery. The Phonak Audeo V50 is the standard level hearing aid in the Audeo range. It contains a lower level of technology than the V70 with 12 sound processing channels and a range of features to help you to hear in a variety of listening situations.
The dust proof coating is also water repellent, ensuring that your hearing aid stays in great working order for longer. The V50 also benefits from Phonak’s Binaural VoiceStream TechnologyTM which allows one hearing aid to recognise speech sounds and transmit the speech to both hearing aids in real time. This technology works alongside various other features to give you the best hearing clarity in different challenging listening situations. Many programmes are automatic, so you don’t have to change your settings when moving from one place to another, others are manual, giving you more control over your own hearing.
An outstanding automatic feature that seamlessly alters your hearing aids to your changing listening environment. AutoSense OS accurately captures the precise listening environment you are in, changing when it needs to, to provide you with a comfortable, seamless listening experience throughout your day.

This programme is designed to make it easier to talk on the telephone. The hearing aid on the telephone side transmits the speech to both hearing aids simultaneously, which improves speech clarity whilst reducing the sound of distractions in the room.
Directional microphones allow you to pick up the sound from all around you giving you a wide range to hear sound. The ultrazoom feature narrows this range to focus on a small area where someone is speaking. This gives you better speech understanding and reduces the effect of background noise.
The Flexcontrol and FlexVolume features give the wearer more control over their hearing. It enables the wearer to fine tune their hearing aids for better hearing in different environments.
This feedback elimination feature recognises the feedback sound and removes it before you know it is there. As with the Echoblock feature, it can do this without sound distortion.
This feature recognises continuous background sounds, such as traffic noise through a window, the dishwasher or office photocopier. It can reduce the volume of this sound so that speech is clearer and easier to understand.
This feature allows the hearing aids to mimic the way the ear naturally listens. This, as well as the receiver in canal design, means that it is easier to determine the direction the sound is coming from.
Changing the volume or setting on one hearing aid will automatically change the other hearing aid as well. This synchronisation makes sure the hearing aids are always working together.
