Overview
In order for these to be dispensed, we will require a hearing test that has been completed within the last three months.
A telephone consultation will then be booked with one of our friendly inhouse hearing aid audiologists who will check that the hearing aid is suitable for your prescription and offer you the best solution.

Phonak's Audeo Paradise range of hearing aids builds on the remarkable success of the popular Phonak Marvel range. Paradise offers a new, more powerful chipset which opens up more processing power and memory for improved algorithms. Available in 4 levels of technology, the P50 is the 'standard' level.
All 4 Paradise technology levels use the same physical product components and design, but more features are activated on the chip. The number of sound channels increases over the P30, and the main AutoSense 4.0 sound processor operates at a more advanced level of automation.
The Bluetooth connection options are seamless in the Audeo Paradise. The wireless chip used in the Audeo Paradise now allows 2 active Bluetooth connections and 8 paired connections. This means you can be actively linked to your phone and laptop/tablet without having to disconnect one first. The stability of the connection is excellent with dropped connections being rare.
Phonak Audeo Paradise hearing aids are the ideal solution for those that are seeking best hearing performance in a flexible and discreet receiver-in-canal design.

Key Features
Sound and connections
Each hearing aid under the Paradise platform is packed with cutting-edge Phonak technologies. The brand new 'PRISM' chip powers an updated 'AutoSense OS™ 4.0' system. In the P50, the hearing aid constantly monitors incoming sound and will switch between three settings best suited for listening to speech either in quiet or noise, or simply within a generally noisy environment. AutoSense OS 4.0 also has two automatic settings when you're listening to streamed audio. It will optimise sound quality for streamed speech or streamed music automatically.
If you have sent us your audiogram in advance, the Phonak Audeo Paradise will be programmed to match your audiogram.
If you dont have an audiogram and have not discussed your requirements with us, our default setting, which caters for a mild to moderate, high-frequency hearing loss will be used to create the start up profile.
A music programme will be added as a programme choice - in the second programme position.
The Phonak Audeo Paradise can be used as a stand-alone hearing aid; but a host of different connections should you wish to embrace enhanced technologies and accessory products.
Bluetooth connection is available as standard, use your Audeo Paradise hearing aids as headphones for audio from any Bluetooth compatible mobile phone or tablet. Up to 8 bluetooth devices can be paired with a Paradise hearing aid ready to use, and when in use 2 bluetooth devices can be on the go together.
Many users make use of the free to download smartphone App - myPhonak - for Android or iOS devices.
The myPhonak app allows for control of volume, programmes, some frequency levels and speech focus. Remote fine tuning can also be arranged via the app.
Phonak PartnerMic - Attach to your speaking partner and get their speech streamed directly to your hearing aid. Perfect for further enhancing one-to-one conversations in noisy environments.
TV Connector - connect to your TV and stream the sound directly to your hearing aids within a 15 metre range
Phonak Roger iN devices: The gold standard in providing additional hearing support in challenging listening environments. The Roger iN microphones transmit sound input directly to the Phonak Audeo Marvel hearing aids. The required Roger receivers are built into the iN device.

Looks and size
The Phonak Audeo Paradise P50 is available in two colours - silver gray or champagne; and you have a choice to power via a built-in lithium-ion rechargeable battery or by disposable size 312 hearing aid batteries.
The rechargeable P50-R is very slightly wider at its base compared to the 312 battery version, but all other aspects are the same.
P-Rechargeable = 27mm height x 10mm depth x 8mm spine (1.02" x 0.39" x 0.3")
The Phonak Audeo Paradise is a RIC (receiver-in-canal) style of hearing aid. The speaker component (called the receiver) is positioned in the ear canal itself, at the end of a very thin wire which connects it to the rest of the hearing aid behind the ear. There are a number of advantages to this design - one of which is a reduced risk of acoustic feedback or whistling.
A grey coloured soft silicone dome is attached to the end of the wire. The domes are available in a number of different styles and sizes. As standard, a medium 'open' dome is sent with the Audeo Paradise; but other domes sizes are also included in the starter kit.
The receiver/speaker wires are available in 4 different lengths - we send a medium (size 2) wire as standard. If you have worn behind the ear hearing aids with tubings or wires that are marked as size 3 or 4, you may need a slightly longer length wire. Do contact us if this is the case and we will adjust the set up of your order.

How to buy
Not sure about buying a hearing aid online? We keep the process straight-forward, and here's what happens:
Select which ear you wish to wear the hearing aid on (left / right / both); the colour and how to want the aid to be powered - and add to basket. Check-out and purchase with Visa / Mastercard or PayPal (where there is a 'Pay-in-3' option for an interest-free 3 month split payment plan)
Your order will be posted directly to you via Royal Mail for a 30 day home trial. Everything you need to try the aid for this period is included.
Many customers have a copy of their audiogram (hearing test result on a graph) from an NHS appointment or from one of the high street stores and will email us a copy before ordering - audiology@hearingdirect.com.
If the hearing aid is appropriate for the hearing loss, we use the audiogram results to program the initial settings of the hearing aid.
Dont worry if an audiogram is not available; you can begin with our standard setting – geared to suit a mild to moderate, mainly high frequency hearing loss. This is the type of hearing loss we commonly see in those with age-related or noise-induced hearing losses.
Another option is to complete the online hearing check, which, if completed as instructed, gives a reasonable estimate of someone’s middle and high frequency hearing: https://www.hearingdirect.com/pages/hearing-test.
If you wish for your online hearing check result to be used with your order you will need to let us know before or just after your order is placed.
Please talk to us if you need anything else regarding the set up further customised. We are real people, and would love to help provide the best possible starting point for you.
Once you've received the hearing aid it's a case of trying out the physical fit and the sound. If you need any adjustments, these can be done remotely if you've downloaded the MyPhonak App – or we can reprogramme in house if the aid is posted back. Email or call us and we will help immediately or set up a time to discuss your requirements in more detail. If you choose to send the hearing aid back to us in the post for reprogramming we will extend your 30 day trial by a week to account for postage times.
If the sound or physical fit of the product is not to your satisfaction, our 30 day money back guarantee is a no quibble policy.
