Designed to Be Different 

Phonak Slim is designed with the modern hearing aid wearer’s lifestyle and comfort in mind. With a distinct left and right design, the hearing aids feature a unique seven-degree angle for a contoured fit behind the ear, even for those who wear glasses. Slim Lumity is offered exclusively in four two-tone colors including Sandalwood, Silver, Graphite and Copper—all paired with Black.

With its sleek and stylish design, Phonak Slim aims to embrace those who have been reluctant to use hearing aids because of how they look, or how they make them feel. In fact, research has shown that 60% of people say Phonak Slim would make them feel more confident wearing hearing aids, and more than half of people reported that Phonak Slim would improve the overall appeal of wearing hearing aids.

New Roger On: The Third Ear to Complement Your Lifestyle 

Roger is an intelligent wireless technology that transmits speech directly to hearing aids or cochlear implants, helping to overcome distance and noise. New Roger On builds on the original, award-winning Roger On remote microphone with new features. With the new Headset Mode, Roger On replaces the function of a computer’s microphone. This way, Roger On can now be used as a headset for online calls, allowing two-way voice streaming when connected to a computer via USB cable.

CROS Paradise Wearers Can Now Connect to the myPhonak App 

The latest update to the myPhonak app now includes support for CROS Paradise (P) wearers. This highly anticipated update gives CROS P wearers enhanced connectivity by allowing them to conveniently control their CROS P systems via any smartphone. This includes the ability to adjust volume and Bluetooth streaming sessions, add or change programs, participate in Remote Support sessions, and more.

Phonak Slim Lumity will be available in 90 and 70 performance levels to licensed hearing care professionals in select markets as of April 25, 2023. New Roger On will be available as of June 5. Finally, the myPhonak app is now available and supports CROS P wearers worldwide.
