Connect Hearing Now Offers the Revolutionary Phonak Marvel Hearing Aid

NAPERVILLE, Ill., Dec. 11, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- The new Marvel hearing aids are the result of years of extensive research and development all coming together in one marvelous piece of technology. With a clear focus on what the user wants and expects from a first-class hearing aid - a clear, rich sound experience(1). This world's first hearing technology offers the ability to stream all audio content seamlessly from iPhone®, Android(TM) smartphone or billions of other Bluetooth enabled devices to both ears in stereo quality. Marvel hearing aids are also rechargeable and work with dedicated apps that allow users to experience remote hearing aid adjustments as well as real-time voice-to-text transcription of phone calls.

Clear, rich sound
AutoSense OS(TM) 3.0 was developed using artificial intelligence, to automatically learn, detect, and adapt, providing the best hearing experience in any listening environment. With Marvel technology, AutoSense OS 3.0 can even classify streamed media. The enhanced operating system also includes Binaural VoiceStream Technology(TM) in the Marvel hearing aids. The highly-sophisticated directional microphone technology has been proven to significantly improve speech understanding by 60%(2) in noisy places like restaurants while simultaneously reducing the amount of effort by 19%(3) required to listen and understand.

Connects to smartphones, TVs and more
The Phonak Audéo Marvel is the only hearing aid that directly connects to any iPhone or Android Smartphone* and streams audio content to both ears in stereo quality. Built-in microphones allow for completely hands-free phone conversations. The new TV Connector, a plug and play solution automatically connects with the TV if within range, turning the hearing aids into wireless headphones.

Rechargeable technology
Available with rechargeable technology, Marvel hearing aids are easy to use, quick to charge and offer a full day of hearing including steaming on a single charge. Rechargeable hearing aids come with easy to use charging options and turn on automatically when taken out of the charger.

Smart apps
With Marvel hearing aids comes the introduction of a suite of convenient smart apps. The myPhonak app gives users the ability to rate their hearing aid satisfaction in various environments and directly send this feedback to their hearing care professional. The myCall-to-Text app provides live transcription of phone calls from the other party in more than 80 languages. This is an ideal solution for noisy environments, or for people who prefer additional visual captions when using the phone.
