One of our favorite Phonak hearing aids is the Naida.  We often find this hearing device is a good complement for our patients with a cochlear implant in one ear and a  hearing aid in the other ear.  The Naida is powerful enough and helps the high frequency hearing losses better than most hearing aids.  The SoundRecover feature is the reason we like the Naida so much.

According to Phonak's website, Naida's  "SoundRecover is the only effective way to extend hearing by restoring high-frequency sounds that would otherwise be inaudible. Audibility of the full spectrum of sounds improves speech understanding, awareness of the sound environment and listening pleasure."  SoundRecover is why Naida is so successful in improving hearing for our patients with severe sloping high frequency hearing losses.   

Naida Fitting Range:

Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC)
The newest, smallest hearing aids, these are custom-made to fit deeply inside your ear canal so that they are practically invisible.

In-the-Canal (ITC)
These are also custom-made and small enough to fit almost entirely in your ear canal. They can be hardly noticeable.
In-the-Ear (ITE)
These are custom-made hearing aids made to fit within the external ear. They are the most widely recommended style.

Behind-the-Ear (BTE)
These fit snugly behind the ear and are attached to a custom earpiece molded to the shape of your external ear.



Open-fit devices:

Recently a new device has come on the market, the "Open-fit" or "Over-the-Ear" OTE Hearing Aid. Usually quite discrete, these are small Behind-the-ear type devices, with a much finer clear tube that runs down into the ear canal. Inside the ear canal, there is a small soft silicone dome or a molded, highly vented acrylic tip that holds the tube in place. There are also devices available which have an external speaker, placed inside the ear canal, and connected to the hearing system itself by a thin cable. The external speaker allows the device behind the ear to be even smaller. These devices are designed to reduce the "occlusion effect", which is the amplification of your own voice when your ears are plugged up (try sticking your fingers in your ears and talking). Open-fit devices are very beneficial for High-Frequency hearing losses, and have been introduced by all major hearing aid companies.
