Review of Phonak, Rexton and Starkey Hearing Aids
# Phonak Review:
A Swiss manufacturer, this company produces small, powerful and lightweight hearing aids available in most skin and hair colors. Its unique design allows the device to automatically adjust to sound changes in the environment.
Although most Phonak customers report satisfaction with their purchase, some did complain that background noise was filtered along with voice sounds.
Phonak has 8 hearing aids to choose from: Exelia, Naida, Andeo, Savea Art, Eleva, micro Eleva, Extra Unio and Micropower.
This company has received the Medical Design Excellence Award and specializes in assisting hearing impaired children. A customer review posted on Amazin.com states that he is experiencing problems having the device adjusted properly. Whether this is an audiologist error or a device malfunction is not known. Phonak offers its customers a warranty of one to two years. In addition, this customer reports that you should find someone familiar with the device or expect to pay numerous fees for several adjustment visits.
At a price of $2,295.00 on Amazon, with the regular retail being #3,999.00, customers can purchase the Phonak Micro Savia Art CRT Hearing Aid by Phonak AG Hearing Instruments.
