Communicate Confidently
with the most comprehensive set of phone solutions
Chatting with loved ones. Keeping in touch with business associates. Ordering
takeout. Knowing you can be reached by family, friends, and colleagues in an
emergency. Whenever you use the phone, you want the comfort and confidence that
comes with hearing and understanding as clearly as possible.
Whether you use one or two Naída CI sound processors, or a processor and
compatible hearing aid, unique AB and Phonak innovations make talking on the phone
easier and better than ever. Wireless streaming options mean that crystal clear audio
is transmitted directly to your hearing devices. When you hold the phone to one ear,
ear-to-ear technology streams the sound to both devices at the same time.
Additional options also include a landline suitable for the whole family and accessories
that make using your smartphone easy. And because our technology reduces
competing noise, you’ll hear your best even in the noisiest places.

• Hear calls in both ears clearly even in noisy places
• Stream sound to both processors or your processor and a compatible Phonak
hearing aid

T-Mic 2
Use the Phone Like Everyone Else
With the T-Mic™ 2 microphone, you can hold your phone to your
ear, without searching for the processor microphone. The patented
T-Mic is the only microphone placed at the opening of the ear
canal. This unique placement means that it uses the ear’s natural
sound-capturing capabilities. It also means that you or your child
can use the phone, earbuds, or other off-the-shelf accessories in
the same way everyone else does.
DuoPhone Feature
Hear with Both Ears
With the DuoPhone feature, the phone signal is streamed in real time
to both ears simultaneously. You hear the caller’s voice in stereo,
making conversations much easier to understand, even in noisy
surroundings. Research shows that DuoPhone makes it easier to
recognize words in quiet and in noise when the phone signal is
streamed to both ears compared to one ear alone.1 DuoPhone also
reduces background noises that could distract you or make it harder
to hear.
