Bernafon Zerena

Founded in 1946, Bernafon has grown into one of the largest hearing aid manufacturers in the world, earning itself a reputation for creating innovative hearing solutions. After it joined the Demant Group of hearing providers in 1995, Bernafon has been able to share the group's extensive research and technology to create a competitive portfolio of hearing devices which include the world’s first digitally programmable hearing aid on the market.

While it supplies its hearing aids to more than 70 countries, Bernafon has become known for its original ChannelFree technology which offers a unique approach to sound delivery. By focusing on speech phonemes and adjusting them accordingly, The ChannelFree system is ideal for musicians who want a more natural sound.

The Bernafon Zerena is a Made for iPhone Hearing aid designed to connect directly to iPhones and other Apple devices by using a low-energy 2.4 GHz Bluetooth technology for streaming any audio content directly to your ears. This device is available as a receiver-in-ear (RIE) and behind-the-ear (BTE) hearing aid and is the first of Bernafon’s hearing aid models to utilise the brand’s DECs technology. It comes with a convenient miniFit system and is available in a variety of styles and earpieces.

The Zerena has been designed to help hearing aid users enjoy what matters most to them. They will help you to follow conversations more easily, even in noisy environments, while also allowing you to connect with your phone to enjoy your favourite music and make and receive calls via your hearing aids.

The Zerena is available in three technology levels: the Bernafon Zerena 5, which is the standard model in the range, the Bernafon Zerena 7, which has more features, and the Bernafon Zerena 9, which is the premium model in the range offering the highest level of technology. Bernafon later added the Zerena and Zerena 1 to the range which are more basic models. There is also a rechargeable option in the range, the Bernafon Zerena miniRite, which provides a full day’s worth of hearing after just one overnight charge. This is an extremely stylish and discreet RIE hearing aid designed for people with mild to profound hearing loss.
