Phonak Virto V50-10

The V50 is a standard hearing aid manufactured by Phonak incorporating their processing chip (Venture). It has 12 channels and standard noise reduction (NoiseBlock). The V50 also has 'SoundRecover' which helps high frequency sounds to be heard and processed effectively by the wearer if they have a severe/profound high frequency hearing loss. It is accomplished by compressing high frequency sounds into a lower frequency range where the wearer's hearing loss is less severe. Importantly, SoundRecover only performs this at the high frequencies, leaving the lower frequencies untouched. Furthermore, the V50 can classify and adapt in 3 listening environment (SoundFlow) and make a note of the wearers preferred sound level in each environment for greater personalisation (DataLogging). Additionally, the V50 can be programmed to gradually increase in sound level over a specified period of time to allow new users of hearing aids the opportunity to adjust and adapt (auto Acclimatization). The V50 also uses the latest feedback algorithm (WhistleBlock) to help reduce annoying whistling from your hearing aids.
