Stäfa, Switzerland, 2nd April 2008 - The launch of Naída SuperPower neatly rounds off the Phonak power offering. These new, smaller models extend the unique benefits of the Naída high-performance solution to individuals with moderately-severe to severe hearing loss. With the new iView, a sophisticated system status monitor, Naída SuperPower is also the perfect solution for
children.
The new and smaller Naída SuperPower models, designed for moderately-severe to severe hearing losses, deliver a maximum gain of 80 / 75 dB (ES / 2cc) and a maximum output of 141 / 136 dB SPL (ES / 2cc). As rich and technologically sophisticated in features and accessories as Naída UltraPower, they also deliver on the promise of empowering people. Groundbreaking technological innovations, such as SoundRecover, impressively enhance audibility and clarity of speech and daily sounds. The slim and water resistant design ensures uncompromised performance in most everyday situations allowing for a more independent life style, is now accessible to all individuals with a significant hearing loss.
Impressive array of state-of-the-art features
The Naída SuperPower models benefit from the same powerful feature set that is making Naída UltraPower so successful. SoundRecover, a Phonak proprietary algorithm, compresses and shifts otherwise inaudible high frequencies into an adjacent area of audible hearing. It also includes WhistleBlock Technology, our state-of-the-art feedback cancellation, the unique SoundFlow automatic, WindBlock Management and the wireless QuickSync function for a one-touch binaural control. Backed by a wide range of wireless accessories, including the design-integrated, water-resistant FM receiver, Naída SuperPower opens up a whole new world of communication.
Kids' stuff
The new Naída SuperPower Junior portfolio scores top marks when it comes to children's needs. The new iView status monitor provides parents and professionals with clear, all- inclusive information about the hearing instrument status, all at the touch of a button. Battery life, volume level and current program on both hearing instruments can be easily monitored on a color LCD display. Combined with the parent-friendly, tamper-proof battery lock, mini-hook, attractive colors and the improved iPFG Junior fitting mode, Naída SuperPower are the instruments of choice for children with a significant hearing loss. Thanks to the small size of SuperPower, the Naída offering is now extended to the special population of young infants.
