Phonak Belong

The Phonak Bolero B is a custom-made hearing aid. Builit on Phonak's newest chip platform, these hearing aids vary in size from the extremly small  IIC and CIC styles to the largest "Full Shell" that are appropriate for severe hearing losses. 


Abbreviations (from smallest to largest)

IIC - Invisible in the ear canal (add $100; no wireless features) 

CIC - Completely in the canal 

ITC - In the canal

HS - Half Shell

FS or ITE - Full shell 

The Phonak proprietary hearing aid modeling software (for the Virto B instruments) measures and analyzes the unique characteristics of each patient's individual ear anatomy. Identifying over 1600 biometric data points, it then calculates the unique calibration settings for each Virto B hearing aid.

These calibration settings ensure increased accuracy and precision providing a 2 dB improvement in directionality compared to Phonak products without Biometric Calibration. 
Additionally, all of the Phonak Virto  Belong
series hearing aids utilize Phonak’s latest "Belong" chip platform. This 33-channel chip platform is extremely fast allowing improved automatic performance in "AutoSense OS" and all of the advanced Binaural VoiceStream programs.

Improved Automatic Performance. Hearing aids with AutoSense OS recognize and automatically adapt to more listening situations than ever before. AutoSense OS accurately captures and analyzes the sound environment, then precisely blends feature elements from multiple programs in real time to provide a seamless listening experience. 

Binaural VoiceStream Technology™ is the exclusive ability of Phonak hearing aids to stream the full audio bandwidth in real-time and bi-directionally for improved sound quality and unmatched speech understanding. This unique technology enables programs and features such as: 
  • Speech in Loud Noise, Speech in Wind, 
  • Speech in 360° (AutoZoom), and 
  • DuoPhone. 
      • Please Note : Binaural VoiceStream features are not available on the Direct series instruments. 
      • Please Also Note: Directional microphones and 'wireless" capability are required for the Binaural VoiceStream programs to work optimally. Directional microphones are not available in the small CIC and IIC hearing aids. 
The new and intelligent adaptive behavior of SoundRecover2 lowers high-frequency sounds only when high-frequency input is detected while maintaining sound quality of low and mid frequencies. As a result, the frequency range of audible sounds is increased and sound quality preserved.

Phonak Virto B Titanium. (Pictured at far right in above image of Virto family instruments). This IIC (invisible in the canal) is made from medical-grade Titanium and is 15 times stronger than the standard acrylic IIC. This stronger material allows Phonak to build a thinner, stronger shell that allows for more power or a smaller, more recessed fit.  The Titanium is available in the B-70 and B-90 models only; "Titanium" adds $200 to the B-70 and B-90 price points listed below. Standard (acrylic) IIC's are available at all 4 "technology levels" (adds $100 to the price).
