TIME's Best Inventions in 2022!
We are delighted to announce that the Phonak Audéo Fit™ has been selected as one of TIME's Best Inventions in 2022!
Every year, TIME recognises products, software and services that solve compelling problems creatively. They look for inventions across all categories - including technology, beauty, health care, food, home and entertainment - that make the world better, smarter or even more fun. This prestigious list, curated by the editors of TIME, has generated more than 650 million global views.
Hearing aids are often stigmatised as a device for the old. But the latest hearing aids are anything but old–fashioned: they're teched out with AI, fitness trackers, streaming capability, and more. Now Phonak is out with the first commercially available hearing aid with a heart-rate sensor. Audéo Fit's receiver-in-canal device tracks fitness data, such as steps, activity level, and distance walked, while also monitoring the wearer's heart rate when paired with the MyPhonak app.
Recognised in the Accessibility category, Phonak Audéo Fit earned its place on the prestigious list by offering consumers a hearing solution that reflects and supports their lifestyle. Audéo Fit was designed to provide more opportunities and meaningful solutions to people with hearing loss so that they can pursue and engage in their active lifestyles. Paired with the myPhonak App, Audéo Fit provides the user with various health indicators, including heart rate, steps, activity levels, and distances walked or run. With access to personal activity data from sensors built into this innovative hearing aid, users can also pursue healthy habits and set personal goals for the sound of their fitness.
"It's an honour for Phonak to be included in TIME's Best Inventions list," said Jon Billings, Vice President of Phonak Marketing. "The voice of the consumer was the driving force behind Audéo Fit. They are the reason we continue to innovate within the hearing industry. More than ever, consumers want hearing solutions that go beyond improving their hearing. Audéo Fit is an example of innovation made real, in the service of consumers with active lifestyles."
This is the latest technology from one of the world's leading hearing aid manufacturers, and we have these now available for our clients in Somerset at Blackdown Hearing!
