Phonak Launches Sky V: Setting New Standards for Hearing Performance

Share:

Phoenix, Arizona/Staefa, Switzerland – April 13, 2016 – Phonak, the global provider of the most complete product portfolio of hearing instruments and wireless communication solutions, today launched Sky V, a game-changing development in hearing performance and ease of use to support speech and language development throughout your child’s growth.

Sky V features a new dedicated automatic program optimized for children – AutoSense Sky OS. It is 39% more accurate in identifying yelling and shouting, such as on a busy playground compared to the adult system. And children are better able to focus and learn in noisy classrooms, as AutoSense Sky OS is 30 percent more precise.1

Sky V comes in 16 housing and 7 ear hook colors

“At Phonak, we know that children are not small adults. We are committed to developing specific high-quality products for the various listening environments children are confronted with, from playground to college dorm,” said Martin Grieder, Group Vice President of Phonak. “Sky V keeps pace with your child’s development and helps them explore the world with confidence and ease.”

Based on the Venture platform, the device integrates the second, improved version of Phonak SoundRecover, so that children can access a broader range of sounds and develop their speech and language skills.2

For children, parents and hearing care professionals alike, Sky V sets new standards for durability and ease of use. The lightweight housing is tamperproof as well as water- and dust-resistant.

Combining Sky V with the Roger product portfolio is especially powerful: the new Roger with directional setting improves children’s ability to hear their friends speaking in a noisy setting by 26%.3

With a strong focus on ease of use Sky V is RogerReady, automatically activating the Roger program when it detects the microphone’s signal, and a new indicator light makes it even easier for parents to know that their child’s hearing aid is powered on.4

It comes in five different models and is available immediately. For more information, please visit: www.phonakpro.com/pediatric
