Hearing aid reviews are fundamentally different from reviews for most other consumer electronic products. The reason is because individual factors, like degree of hearing loss, have a profound effect one's success and overall satisfaction with the product. When purchasing a hearing aid, you'll need to consider more than just your hearing outcome ... Continue reading

Hearing Tracker uses a ten-question survey to assess consumer feedback on hearing aids. The percentage bars below reflect the average ratings provided per question, averaged across all hearing aids belonging to this family of devices.

Every six months since purchase in 2017 they have been sent back to Phonak for repair. My issue is similar to other wearers. The wax guard breaks a off part of the rubberized tube that it fits into. For the $$$ spent this is not acceptable. Phonak customer service is useless. They simply tell me to go back to the audiologist so she can send them to Phonak for repair. I will never purchase Phonak again and I do not recommend them. I wish I could rerun them but am not getting support to do so.
I have been wearing the VirtoB70 for approx 6months and they have been returned for faults twice and now the filter holder is faulty and filter has fallen out in my ear twice so will be sending back again...pros are ..really comfortable so much so that I forget I am wearing them..feel normal again that they are invisible..like having control over volume..will persevere for awhile and see how they go..much preferable to over ear ids as my ears are tiny and kept getting blisters..so overall these are comfy as :)
I went back to Starkey. The phonaks were an absolute waste of time and money. I spent a year trying to get them to work sending them back and trying again and again.
Phonak as a company provided ZERO support as well.

I have had my B90's for a week having had Phonacs for the last five years. They seem a little 'thin' on most programs (which may be a tuning issue) and the auto sense has a habit of wandering around using different settings that were not really appropriate. It is difficult to hear when the aids decide to focus on a different or distant conversation siting in a cafe, in car hearing is not great, I think being close to the window does muck up the processingun with reflections from the glass and occassionally I get a feedback whistle just in one ear for no reason I can understand. Regarding the headphone issue the phone can be set for the duo phone feature, this is actioned by putting a magnet (which they supply in the travel case to glue to the phone handset or the magnetic speaker in a desk phone handset or a set of headphones) near the hearing aid, the beep tells you it is going into the Duo Tone setting and then sounds again when you are returning back to the normal program (when the magnet is removed from being close to the aid). The feature does give some benefit when using a desk phone but trying to listen to music is nearly impossible. Far better to get the blue tooth connection to your mobile via the pilot.
Feature Explanation: DuoPhone: Improves understanding on the phone by automatically streaming the caller's voice to the other ear, so that the voice is heard in both ears simultaneously.
I am wondering, these aids are quite expensive, if these came out in 2017 is there a newer later model phonac hearing aid available ?
