The microStyle generation is a comprehensive collection of micro-sized hearing systems that offers a range of proven, state-of-the-art features to meet a wide spectrum of needs and budgets. The broad product portfolio covers the amplification needs
of 9 out of 10 hearing impaired customers.
The microStyle generation of hearing instruments will especially appeal to a new generation
of users that demand a cosmetic solution without having to compromise on performance. Almost 8 out of 10 people with impaired hearing do not take any action - with the Phonak microStyle generation, there is finally an appealing solution close at hand.
Despite their small size, the microStyle systems contain the most sophisticated hearing instrument technology currently available on the market. Social gatherings or business meetings can be enjoyed even if annoying background noise is present. The functional design of the micro housing provides the perfect acoustic positioning of the directional microphones, that are standard in all microStyle instruments, further improving speech intelligibility in difficult hearing situations. The microStyle hearing systems can be relied upon
to intelligently and automatically switch to the appropriate hearing program to give all-round, hassle-free listening. The comprehensive product offering covers a large fitting range, which means 9 out of 10 customers can benefit from these high performance features.
A low profile on the outside...
microStyle hearing instruments literally disappear behind the ear when worn and are comfortable and light on the ear. The ergonomic design, combined with the thin tubing, results in an outstandingly cosmetic solution. The practically invisible micro tube perfectly fits the contours of the ear and leaves it naturally open. The slim shape of the housing allows the instrument to sit neatly and comfortably behind the ear without any obstruction - even when wearing glasses.
... yet very remarkable on the inside
The Phonak Sound Delivery System guarantees hassle-free and flexible fittings for all microStyle generation instruments. The Sound Delivery System offers various acoustic coupling combinations to ensure flexibility to meet a wide range of hearing losses and cosmetic demands. There is the choice of standard tone hook, tubing and dome size plus earmold options for each microStyle generation instrument. The result for each client is a personalized microStyle generation instrument that is adaptable to changing needs, like increasing hearing loss, over the lifetime of the instrument. The easy and intuitive fitting software, iPFG Successware, makes fitting and fine-tuning the microStyle systems straightforward. Adding to the flexibility, all microStyle instruments are remote compatible - except for micro eXtra.
