Phonak Belong Audeo 90 Hearing Aids

The Latest Receiver In Canal Hearing Aids From Phonak including Their First ever Rechargeable RIC Hearing Aid

With the launch of the new Audeo Belong 90 platform of RIC hearing aids, Phonak have launched their much anticipated top of the range lithium-ion rechargeable Receiver In Canal, the Audeo B90-R . It is the first Lithium-ion rechargeable RIC to the market and the first ever rechargeable digital hearing aid for Phonak. They say that the battery pack will deliver 24 hours of hearing with one simple charge (expected results when fully charged, and up to 80 minutes wireless streaming time).

Phonak have also introduced their first ever Made For iPhone hearing aid, in fact it is Made For Any Phone. The new Audeo B-Direct model is now available in the B 90 range. This is the very top level of Phonak technology, designed to deliver outstanding results in even the most difficult situation. If you are looking for assistance for an active life, well this is the technology level for you.

Phonak Audeo Belong 90-R Rechargeable receiver in canal hearing aid

Audeo B90 hearing aids recognise and automatically adapt to more of your listening situations than ever before. The range will run on the new improved AutoSense OS. At this level of technology has seven automatic programmes that seamlessly blend together to give you the best hearing possible. You also get five extra manual programs to work with for maximum fine tuning for different situations.

Audeo Belong 90 Prices

We would expect the Audeo Belong 90 range to be sold at prices from £1700.00 to £2200.00 in the UK depending on the Practice and location. We would expect the range to be sold at prices from €2400.00 to €3000.00 in Ireland. We would expect the range to be sold at prices from $2400.00 to $3200.00 in the USA. Just to be clear, we don't set prices here and they differ from Practice to Practice across the World so our expectations aren't binding, they are just a guess and some research. Always remember, we all like to shop around, but always be clear about what is being delivered. You will need care and support, make sure you will get it. You will also need your hearing aid validated or verified to get the best experience, paying a little more to ensure your experience is good, is not wasted money. That's our price rant for the day over, let's talk about the devices.
