Phonak Brio

Phonak is a Swiss hearing aid company and one of the world’s largest providers of hearing solutions. Phonak’s extensive range of hearing aids suit all types of hearing loss and feature some of the most innovative and state-of-the-art technology to help hearing aid users connect with the world around them.

Phonak Brio hearing aids

Phonak created its Brio range of hearing aids to offer solutions for every type of hearing need. The Brio is a full range of receiver-in-ear (RIC), behind-the-ear (BTE) and in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aids that come in a variety of models and colors. The Phonak Brio product range comes with innovative technology designed to provide better speech understanding, even in noisy environments, thanks to the innovative operating system which analyzes the environment and automatically adjusts settings to accommodate your hearing needs. Once it had introduced its base model, Phonak updated the Brio with the Phonak Brio 2 R, which is 30% faster than the standard Brio.

The Brio 2 was later followed by the powerful Brio 3 which offers a comprehensive range of RIC, BTE and ITE hearing aids for those with a mild to profound hearing loss. Designed specifically for Costco and to be sold exclusively at Costco warehouses, the Brio 3 is a fully automatic hearing aid that provides effortless listening. Phonak describes the Brio 3 as having been designed for hearing aid users who demand the best hearing performance, comfort, and style. The Phonak Brio 3 price starts at around $1,400 per hearing aid and goes up from there, making it one of Costco’s most expensive hearing aid options.

Features
