Phonak Marvel Hearing Aid Announced as a 2019 Edison Awards Finalist

In October 2018, Phonak, the world’s leading hearing aid provider, introduced Marvel – a revolutionary hearing aid family that combines all the top-requested features from hearing aid wearers into one solution with zero compromise. 

Among these features and benefits include: 

• Clear, rich and natural sound quality the moment the hearing aids are first fit
• Exceptional speech understanding and reduced listening effort in noisy environments
• The first and only solution to support binaural direct streaming from Android smartphones
• The ability to stream all audio content seamlessly from any Bluetooth device, including iPhone, Android, Macs and PCs, TVs, smart speakers and billions of other devices to both ears in stereo
• Truly hands-free phone conversations thanks to on-board microphones that allow wearers to “talk through” their hearing aids
• Industry-leading lithium-ion rechargeability that allows a full day of hearing and streaming on a single charge

This breakthrough technology also improves accessibility to hearing care by empowering consumers to benefit from a suite of smart apps that instantly connect hearing aid wearers with their hearing care professional via their smartphone. These include video chat, instant feedback regarding their wearing experience, remote fine-tuning from anywhere in the world, and real-time voice-to-text transcription of phone calls. 

All nominations were reviewed by the Edison Awards Steering Committee and the final ballot sent to an independent judging panel. The judging panel was comprised of more than 3,000 professionals from the fields of product development, design, engineering, science, marketing and education, including professional organizations representing a wide variety of industries and disciplines.
