Platform

The Audeo Q70 works on Phonak's Quest platform technology. One of the most innovative new features in the Quest was Binaural VoiceStream. This allows your hearing aids to wirelessly communicate and work together to further improve your hearing. This binaural technology has led to the introduction of the following features.

Features

Acclimatisation Manager

This feature can detect environments where the amplification of the hearing aids needs to be changed. Automatically and smoothly adapts the hearing aids to give you the best sound.

Tinnitus Balance Sound Generator

Using a range of sounds, this feature can help ease the symptoms of tinnitus. There is also the Tinnitus Balance App which is compatible with Apple and Android devices to give you access to a catalogue of sounds to choose from

16 Channels

These channels process a number of different frequencies to tune the hearing aids for your needs. The more channels there are, the more precisely this can be done

Soundrecover

This feature improves your ability to hear higher frequencies

Ultrazoom/Stereozoom 

These two microphone features use the binaural technology to enhance speech capture and noise reduction

Soundflow

This can detect small changes in the environment and adapt the hearing aids to give you a clear sound

Soundrelax will detect sudden loud noises and soften them for your comfort

Whistleblock, Noiseblock and Windblock

Wireless Hearing Aid Accessories

Some of the Audeo Q70 models are compatible with Phonak's wireless accessories. This technology allows you to connect your hearing aids to a number of devices such as televisions, music players and mobile phones.
