Venture Platform Comparison Guide

Automatic programs:

Comfort in Echo ►

Recognizes the frequency of any reverberation and applies the appropriate amount of gain reduction, resulting in less distortion, making speech more comfortable.

Speech in Car ►

Reduces broadband noise in the car to create a stable listening environment for easy communication, reduced effort.

Speech in Loud Noise ►

Zooms in on a single voice in a diffuse noisy environment, improving speech intelligibility. 

Music ►

Offers an expanded dynamic range, slow compression speed and more gain for a fuller and richer music experience.

Comfort in Noise ►

Actively reduces noise for increased comfort when no speech is present.

Speech in Noise ►

Adapts and reduces noise from behind in real time and applies and optimizes the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) in noisy environments.

Calm Situation ►

Provides optimal gain for speech understanding and listening comfort when engaging in one-on-one conversations in quiet.

Manual programs: 

Speech in Wind ►

Better speech understanding even on a windy day. 

Speech in 360º ►

Automatically selects the direction of speech and streams this to the other ear, improving speech intelligibility without the need to face the speaker.

Speech in Loud Noise ►

Zooms in on a single voice in a diffuse noisy environment, improving speech intelligibility.

Acoustic phone ►

The key feature DuoPhone streams the signal in real time to the other ear so the caller's voice is heard in both ears with an average benefit of 3.1 dB SNR.

 Signature features:

UltraZoom ►

UltraZoom is the adaptive multi-channel beamforming technology, which improves speech intelligibility within noisy situations.

EchoBlock ►

EchoBlock improves listening experience in reverberant environments like large assembly halls, places of worship and rooms with reflective surfaces.

StereoZoom ►

Zooms in on a single voice in a diffuse noisy environment, improving speech intelligibility by up to 60%.

ZoomControl ►

Automatically selects the direction of speech and streams this to the other ear, improving speech intelligibility without the need to face the speaker.

SoundRelax ►

SoundRelax cushions otherwise unpleasant impulse sounds without affecting speech clarity or causing unnatural perception of other sounds.

WindBlock ►

WindBlock utilizes a wind identification and classification system, that automatically and adaptively suppresses wind noise.

DuoPhone ►

Improves understanding on the phone by automatically streaming the caller's voice to the other ear, so that the voice is heard in both ears simultaneously.

FlexControl ►

FlexControl personalizes AutoSense OS, transforming the simple action of turning a control up or down into a powerful adjustment tool.

Flex Volume ►

FlexVolume shapes the gain curve in a frequency dependent manner, resulting in increased clarity when more volume is required.

Real Ear Sound ►

Real Ear Sound simulates the performance characteristics of teh pinna. This restores localization and the ability to experience natural sound perception.

SoundRecover ►

SoundRecover compresses high-frequencies in order to restore high-frequency sounds that would otherwise be inaudible.

Tinnitus Balance noise generator ►

The Tinnitus Balance noise generator generates a broadband sound for use in tinnitus management therapies.

WaterResistant ►

Phonak WaterResistant hearing aids are water, sweat, moisture and dust resistant.

WhistleBlock ►

WhistleBlock differentiates between naturally occurring feedback-like sounds and true feedback. This means increased audibility and sound quality that is free from annoying feedback.

NoiseBlock ►

Noise Block Processing is particularly effective at reducing uncomfortable environmental noise. 

QuickSync ►

One touch on the program selection button or volume control results in instant identical change in the other instrument.

User Preference Tuning ►

Remembers adjustments you make with FlexControl and FlexVolume and applies them automatically for a hearing aid more in tune with your preferences.

auto Acclimatization ►

auto Acclimatization is used to automatically increase the client's amplification, while the client is using the device. 

AOV ►

Acoustically Optimized Venting (AOV) reduces occlusion to the lowest level possible by optimizing the fitting calculation.

Finetuning Channels ►

Precision by which clients' hearing aid can be customized to their specific hearing needs.
