Phonak Sky Q Because a child is not a small adult A child is not a small adult. It sounds obvious, but in reality it’s a profound insight - one that guides practically everything we do when we develop solutions for children. For example, you wouldn’t give a newborn baby a steak to eat. Just like you wouldn’t give a toddler adult medicine, or ask a 13-year-old to drive you to work. Whatever a child’s age, we treat them appropriately. This is especially important for children with hearing loss. From their initial testing and diagnosis through to hearing aid selection, verification, counseling and support, their needs are very different from those of adults. Crucially, these young listeners don’t have the foundation of language that adults do. So, they need the most consistent access possible to the sounds of life to build that foundation. At Phonak we have served children around the world for over 40 years, working alongside the world’s leading paediatric specialists and taking onboard the considered advice of our Paediatric Advisory Board. The result of this knowledge is a new dedicated portfolio of paediatric solutions. One that is designed to meet children’s specific needs - ensuring their access to speech and language is continually optimised. 2 3 Our new paediatric portfolio includes the Phonak Sky Q hearing aid family and our expanded range of wireless accessories. Because products alone are not enough, we have refreshed our fitting software’s Junior mode, with special emphasis on verification. Plus we have enriched the support resources for you, children and their parents. In short, we have everything you need to treat a child like a child. 4 Phonak Sky Q portfolio 5 Phonak Sky Q Phonak Sky Q is our new dedicated family of paediatric hearing aids. With a choice of three different models, there is a Phonak Sky Q model to fit every child. All Phonak Sky Q models are resistant to water, sweat and dust (IP67), making them the perfect companions for active explorers. Effective tamperproofing ensures tiny fingers cannot access any batteries, and our new engaging range of Mix & Match colors ensures children will have technology they’ll love to wear. Driven by the processing power of Phonak Quest technology, Phonak Sky Q features SoundRecover, the proprietary non-linear frequency compression algorithm. Supported by extensive research, it has been shown to provide maximum access to high-frequency speech sounds - essential for children developing their speech and language. With audibility optimised, the next challenge is hearing in noise. And while the optimal speech-in-noise performer is wireless microphone technology, children often still listen in noise with just their hearing aids. This is where Binaural VoiceStream Technology™ delivers. With features such as DuoPhone and ZoomControl, it enables improved hearing in a broad range of difficult listening situations. 6 7 Phonak Sky Q-M13 Phonak Sky Q-SP dB HL dB HL 0 0 10 10 20 20 30 30 40 40 50 50 60 60 70 70 80 80 SlimTube HE 90 SlimTube HE 90 100 100 Hook / mini hook 110 Hook / mini hook 110 125 250 500 1k 2k 4k 8k 125 250 500 1k 2k 4k 8k Phonak Sky Q models Phonak Sky Q-RIC Phonak Sky Q-RIC Phonak Sky Q-RICPhonakPhonak Sky Sky Q-M13 Q-M13 Phonak SkyPhonak Q-SP Audéo Q SuperPower Phonak Sky Q-SP PhonakPhonak Sky Sky Q-UP Q-UP With Power Xreceiver (xS) With Standard Xreceiver (xP) Phonak SkyWith Q-M13 Superpower plus Xreceiver (xSP plus) PhonakXreceiver Sky Q-SP dB HL dB HL dB HL dB HL dB HL dB HL dB HL dB HL dB HL 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 30 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 60 60 60 60 60 60 60 60 60 70 70 70 70 70 70 70 70 70 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 SlimTube HE 90 SlimTube HE Power SlimTube 90 90 90 90 SlimTube HE 90 90 SlimTube HE90 90 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 Hook / mini hook 110 Hook / mini hook Hook / mini hook 110 110 110 110 Hook / mini hook 110 110 Hook / mini11 0hook 110 125 250 500 1k 2k 4k 8k 125 250 500 1k 2k 4k 8k 125 250 500 1k 2k 4k 8k 125 250 500 1251k 2502k 5004k 1k8k 2k 4k 8k 125 250 500125 1k250 2k500 4k1k 8k2k 4k 8k 125 250 500 1k 2k 4k 8k 125 250 500 1k 2k 4k 8k SlimTube HE Power SlimTube Power SlimTube Hook /mini hook Hook /mini hook Hook /mini hook • Compact micro-sized BTE, • Fitting range: mild to profound • Fitting range: moderate to profound size 13 battery hearing loss hearing loss • Fitting range: mild to severe • IP67 water and dust resistant * • IP67 water and dust resistant * hearing loss • Fully tamperproof (battery door, • Fully tamperproof (battery door, • IP67 water and dust resistant * Roger receiver and mini ear hook) Roger receiver and mini ear hook) • FullyPhonak tamperproof Sky Q-RIC (battery door, Phonak• Sky Compatible Q-RIC with design-integratedPhonak Sky Q-RIC• Compatible with design-integrated Phonak Audéo Q SuperPower Phonak Sky Q-UP Phonak Sky Q-RIC With PowerPhonak Xreceiver Sky (xS) Q-RIC With Standard XreceiverPhonak Sky (xP) Q-RIC With Superpower plus Xreceiver (xSP plus) Phonak Audéo Q SuperPower Xreceiver Phonak Sky Q-UP With Power Xreceiver (xS) Roger receiverWith Standardand mini Xreceiver ear hook)(xP) RogerWith 11 Superpower receiver plus and Xreceiver Roger (xSP universal plus) Roger 10 receiver and RogerXreceiver • CompatibledB HL with design-integrated dB HL receivers dB HL universal receivers dB HL dB HL dB HL dB HL dB HL dB HL dB HL 0 0 0 0 0 0 Roger 15 receiver0 and Roger • Broad0 Mix & Match color range for • Broad Mix & Match color0 range 0 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 10 universal20 receivers 20 ear hooks, hearing aids and Roger20 for ear hooks, hearing aids and 20 20 20 20 20 20 20 30 30 30 30 30 30 • Broad Mix &30 Match color range for 30 Roger receivers 30 30 40 40 receivers 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 40 ear hooks,50 hearing aids and 50 • Size 13 battery 50 • Size 675 battery 50 50 50 50 50 50 50 60 60 60 60 60 60 60 60 60 60 Roger70 receivers 70 70 70 70 70 70 70 70 70 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 80 Power SlimTube 90 90 90 90 90 Power SlimTube 90 90 90 90 90 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 Hook / mini hook 110 110 110 110 110 Hook / mini hook 110 110 110 110 110 125 250 500 1k 2k 4k 8k 125 250 500 1k 2k 4k 8k 125 250 500 1k 2k 4k 8k 125 250 500 1k 2k 4k 8k 125 250 500 1k 2k 4k 8k 125 250 500 1k 2k 4k 8k 125 250 500 1k 2k 4k 8k 125 250 500 1k 2k 4k 8k 125 250 500 1k 2k 4k 8k 125 250 500 1k 2k 4k 8k * IP67 indicates that the hearing aid was not damaged beyond repair after 8 hours in a dust chamber, nor after being immersed in 1 meter (3 feet) of water for 30 minutes as defined by IEC60529. 8 Performance level Sky Q Speech in Wind • auto StereoZoom • auto ZoomControl • StereoZoom • • ZoomControl • • DuoPhone • • UltraZoom Advanced SNR-Boost 50% FlexControl FlexVolume • SoundRecover • SoundFlow (base programs) 3 Real Ear Sound • Channels 16 WhistleBlock • NoiseBlock • WindBlock • EchoBlock SoundRelax • QuickSync • Manual programs 4 Streaming programs 4 User Preference Learning • User Preference Tuning • auto Acclimatization • Wireless fitting • Phonak CROS compatibility • • Binaural VoiceStream TechnologyTM 9 Hearing in colour When it comes to bringing a smile to a child’s face, there’s nothing quite like colour. A host of studies proves that kids of all ages are excited and delighted by bright, intense tones. In fact, children seem to prefer these happy hues early on, since a baby’s eyesight is better able to recognise bright colours than dimmer, more understated tones.1 It’s with that knowledge in mind that we designed our new family of Phonak Sky Q hearing aids. Phonak Sky Q housings are available in no less than 17 colors. These include many new joyful housing and ear hook colors, ranging from Caribbean Pirate through fiery Dragon Orange to Vanity Pink, as well as subtle hair and skin tones.
