Phonak Virto B90 Hearing Aids
Phonak Virto B90
The Virto B90 is the brand flagship or premium custom, ITE hearing aid range. Custom hearing devices are always popular because they are perceived as discreet options. They also cover many types of hearing loss from mild to severe. ITE devices do have their pros and cons and are not suitable for everyone. Even if they are suitable for you, there is clear information you need to understand to get the best out of them. You can read all of the details on our Hearing Aid Types page. You can also read about all of the best hearing aid brands here.
The Virto B (for Belong, the name of the chipset) replaces the Audeo V (for Venture) hearing aid family. As a flagship hearing aid the devices deliver the best clarity available in even the most challenging listening situations. So, let's take a deeper look at what the Virto B90 hearing aid range has to offer you:
Virto 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.
Virto Belong 90 Prices
We would expect the Virto B90 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.
