Because a child is not a small adult. From their initial evaluation, through to hearing aid selection, counseling and support, children’s needs are very different from those of adults.

Infants and toddlers

Opening the doorway to the brain

The ears are the doorway to the brain and a child should hear 45 million words to be ready for school. Providing the necessary solutions from an early age is essential for optimized speech, language, communication and social development skills. Children require solutions that are robust, secure, and easy for parents to use

 

  • Tamperproof battery doors and ear hooks. Phonak complies with and recommends the IEC standard of securing all battery compartments, mini ear hooks, and design-integrated Roger receiver options for children  up to 36 months of age so that they are tamperproof.With the Sky B PR rechargeable hearing aid there is no battery compartment to open with its fully encased lithium-ion battery makeing it an ideal tamperproof solution for little ears.
  • Water and dust resistance. Exclusively designed for kids, all Sky B models are water-resistant and dust tight (IP68 rating).  This provides security and confidence even when life gets a little wet.
  • Access to more words. As young children develop auditory brain connections, it is imperative they hear as much as possible. Using Roger at home can help a child hear more of the words required as a basis for reading
  • A clear visible signal. The easy to understand indicator light featured on all 5 Sky B BTE models provides a clear status notification of a child’s hearing aid. Parents and caregivers now have increased assurance of knowing that a child’s hearing aid is functioning correctly.
