Here's some information on the Phonak Naida hearing aid:
NaidaBring back the sound you’re missing
Naida wearers will discover new levels of sound experience and speech understanding well beyond their expectations. Packed with unique and intelligent features, Naida offers exceptional levels of audibility and clarity.
This innovation is key to customer satisfaction. Now a SoundRecover solution is available for all audiometric configurations.
SoundRecoverSoundRecover compresses and shifts high frequencies, expanding audibility to include the full spectrum of sounds. This enables wearers to once again enjoy all the sounds of life: conversation in a restaurant, children singing and laughing, music, birdsong and the whisper of a loved one, to name but a few. 88% of users indicate that SoundRecover is the most important feature of their Phonak. This innovation is key to customer satisfaction. Now a SoundRecover solution is available for all audiometric configurations.
SoundFlowNo two sound environments are the same. What makes each situation unique is a combination of acoustics, sound source position, interference and signal properties. SoundFlow continuously and instantly optimizes the hearing instrument settings to the changing environment, resulting in a seamless hearing experience. The breakthrough that makes this possible is a sophisticated, high-definition classifier that recognises sound environment nuances. By identifying even subtle differences and adapting accordingly, SoundFlow generates an infinite number of situationspecific automatic programs.
The strength of the comprehensive SoundFlow is the extension of the automatic functionality to Bluetooth connectivity, audio streaming, as well as EasyPhone and EasyFM programs. The main advantage of this sophisticated feature is the seamless transition between settings, maintaining constant audibility. At last, Naída brings the advantages of automatic performance to power users.
SoundCleaningPower tools for challenging listening situations
digital AudioZoom – filters background noise effectively without reducing audibility. It is the ultimate method for improving the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) successfully.
NoiseBlock Technology – analyzes and recognizes sounds different from speech and automatically reduces them. Thanks to its multi-channel capability, it selectively removes noise while maintaining audibility.
WindBlock Management – utilises a newly engineered wind identification and classification system. The powerful, adaptive algorithm automatically suppresses wind noise. Teamed with a microphone shield, it allows Naída wearers to enjoy the outdoors without compromise.
Real Ear Sound – simulates the performance characteristics of the pinna. The result is restored localization and the ability to experience natural sound perception.
PowerProcessing and BassBoost Audibility is the foundation for wearers with a significant hearing loss. In addition to the highest gain and output, Naída introduces a new processing scheme.
PowerProcessing adaptively selects the amplification strategy, from non-linear to practically linear, depending on the audiometric configuration and degree of hearing loss. This intelligent approach ensures that individual amplification needs are optimally met. The unique BassBoost delivers extra low frequency gain and output for instant improvement of subjective loudness perception.
WhistleBlock Technology Eliminating feedback in UltraPower fittings is the key to success. The cutting-edge WhistleBlock Technology benefits from the new feedback identification and tagging module. This additional step occurs just before feedback suppression is actually activated. It differentiates between naturally occurring feedback-like sounds and true feedback. This sophisticated capability to reliably identify true feedback means that a much more aggressive feedback cancellation strategy is applied.
The benefits are significant: while dynamic feedback cancellation is highly effective, the sound quality of naturally occurring sounds remains excellent. This means increased audibility and sound quality that is free from annoying feedback.
Size and Shape Compared to other high power instruments, its volume has been reduced by approximately 35%. Naída sets new size and cosmetic standards previously deemed impossible.
At first sight, it is hard to believe that these beautiful, slender instruments are high power devices: Naida SuperPower with a 13 battery, Naida UltraPower with a 675 battery. Clever design and strategic placement of key components has made the housing surprisingly small.
The fresh look of Naída is enhanced by a range of colours, including Pure transparent.
