Features and technology
Unitron makes premium hearing aids for all levels of hearing loss, programmed by an audiologist or other hearing health professional based on the results of a hearing test. The brand has drawn on its parent company''s R&D leadership to help deliver high-performance hearing aids-especially products offering universal wireless Bluetooth connectivity.
At the same time, Unitron has maintained brand independence and differentiated its products and services with unique offerings such as its FLEX experience, which enables prospective users to try out their hearing aids before buying them. Distinctive offerings include:
- True Bluetooth hearing aids: Unitron and its Sonova-owned sister company, Phonak, both offer true Bluetooth hearing aids. They are currently the only two brands providing a universal wireless solution that can stream stereo audio directly to and from any of the millions of standard Bluetooth-enabled audio devices in the world today. This includes Android phones, which currently account for more than 85% of the global smartphone market. Unlike other hearing aids, the Sonova products don''t require an intermediary audio streamer to connect with Android phones. Unitron''s Bluetooth hearing aids currently include Moxi Jump R, Moxi Fit and Moxi All models.
- FLEX experience: Unitron has long been known for its innovative "try-before-you-buy" FLEX experience that gives an easy introduction to the sometimes disorienting world of hearing aids. Your hearing care provider gives you a complete hearing test and creates a "first-fit" hearing aid program that delivers a comfortable initial sound experience. You get a trial set of hearing aids programmed to your personal audiogram and take them home that day for an extended trial. During the trial, the hearing aids store performance data. On your follow-up visit, the data and and your satisfaction with the trial hearing aids help the hearing care provider recommend ones that will work best for you. You can decide whether to buy hearing aids at that time. Later on, if your hearing changes or you want more functionality, the hearing aids can be upgraded, a benefit that only Unitron currently provides.
