WARRENVILLE, Ill — Phonak has announced the availability of Exélia, a combination of cutting-edge technology, audiological expertise, and wireless connectivity designed to deliver unprecedented hearing performance and user interaction together with easy access to modern communication and entertainment systems.

Exélia’s hearing performance is based on SoundFlow, an automatic system that creates an infinite number of situation-specific programs. This is backed by VoiceZoom, an adaptive, multi-channel directional system, and WhistleBlock Technology. 

Although seamless automatic hearing performance is paramount, users occasionally require manual control. The optional myPilot command center provides intuitive control of hearing instrument functions and sophisticated network status information. This includes ZoomControl, which enables users to control their hearing focus, offering a solution to difficult situations, such as listening in a car. And Exélia QuickSync addresses those moments when fast, simple binaural adjustment is required, ensuring balanced, synchronized hearing at all times.

Exélia users reportedly can enjoy interference-free, binaural mobile phone use with iCom, a wireless communication interface through which any Bluetooth enabled device is accessible with stereo audio quality. As an additional feature, iCom can be directly connected to the FM technology from Phonak.

Exélia hearing systems are based on Phonak’s new CORE (Communication Optimized Real-audio Engine) technology, a wireless processing platform that Phonak says challenges the notion that all hearing instrument technology is comparable. CORE is said to represent a whole new era in hearing technology by introducing benchmark-computing power and sophisticated wireless technology—even facilitating wireless transfer of fitting data to CORE enabled instruments. iCube is the first programming device that allows for cable free fittings. As a result, hearing care professionals have more fitting flexibility than ever before, with the choice of iCube or standard fitting interfaces, HI-PRO or NOAHlink.

As a complete product family, Exélia caters to the diversity of personal communication needs and lifestyles with customized solutions for each individual wearer. These include standard and micro BTE models and a full range of custom models from CIC to ITE. The high-performance features in every model are optimized for monaural or binaural fittings to ensure that every hearing loss and communication need can be addressed, according to the company.
