Phonak Bolero Q70

The Bolero Q70 is part of the Quest range of BTE (Behind the Ear) hearing aids launched in 2012. It comes in four different models, a standard BTE, Micro BTE, Power BTE and Super Power BTE.The Bolero Q70 has been replaced by the Bolero V70 which you can read about here. You can take a look at the full range of Phonak hearing aids here

The Bolero Q is available at three different levels of technology with the Q70 being the mid-level of the range. It is an excellent hearing aid but does have fewer features and sound processing channels than the Q90.

You can personalise your Bolero Q70 as it has several colours to choose from, including some new hair and skin tone options.

Quest allowed Phonak to both improve the overall processing speed and sound quality of their hearing aids, and also create some innovative new features.

One of the most significant is Binaural VoiceStream. This feature means that your hearing aids will now communicate wirelessly with each other and share information to ensure you are always receiving the clearest signal. Thanks to this new technology, Phonak have also been able to add the Acclimatisation Manager which can automatically detect different listening environments and adjust the amplification to maintain quality and clarity.

16 Channels

Each channel processes different frequencies so the hearing aids can be tuned for your individual hearing needs
