Unitron hearing aids

Throughout the 1980s, Unitron became a leader in delivering analogue behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aids for those diagnosed with severe to profound hearing loss.

Today, Unitron is a leader in the digital hearing aid market, winning several product design awards. With an extensive range of advanced hearing aids, Unitron has developed a reputation for producing hearing aid technologies to suit different hearing needs and budgets. The company claims its hearing-aid technology gives users speech clarity in noisy situations and more natural hearing experience.

Unitron’s range consists of approximately 20 products and a wide range of accessories designed to complement Unitron hearing aids with features that offer the very latest in hearing technology. Unitron products are designed around the wearer, which is what the company says drives its innovations such as its Log It All and FlexTrial concept that deliver the ultimate user experience.

Unitron hearing aids are available in five performance levels, each offering different customisation and technology options.

1. Level Pro: Provides directionality, clarity, and speech comprehension across different noise settings.
2. Level 800: Ideal if you like to regularly listen to music while also benefiting from speech directionality in noisy settings.
3. Level 700: Delivers a natural realistic sound in quiet environments and enhances front directional speech understanding in noisy environments.
4. Level 600: Assists speech comprehension in less complex noise environments.
5. Level 500: Boosts your hearing ability in quiet environments.
