I'm not sure how Phonak did it, but they just released a hearing aid that is even better than the already impressive Marvel line of devices with the creation of the New Audeo Paradise Hearing Aid. Marvel, the predecessor to the Paradise, has been one of the Best and Most Popular Hearing aids in Phonak History and possibly the most popular of any hearing aid ever made. So what does the Audeo Paradise bring to the table that the Marvel didn't?
The look of the Paradise is very similar to the Marvel. The only differences are a slight microphone port orientation change and slimmer push buttons. They have the same color options as the Marvel, they use the same receiver wires and the same CeruShield Wax Traps. The entire lineup of Paradise hearing aids is being released. They have the Size 312 battery option, Size 13 battery with Telecoil, Rechargeable, and Rechargeable with Telecoil. Unfortunately, they eliminated their Size 312 battery with Telecoil option.
The new hardware features the new PRISM chip which stands for Processing Real-time Intelligent Sound Management. It has double the memory as the previous SWORD chip with out making the hearing aids larger. It also has a new Motion Sensor in the Rechargeable Versions. The motion sensors adjust your hearing aid settings based on movement which can improve how your hearing aids work while walking.
Perhaps the coolest thing about the PRISM chip is that it allows for more and better wireless connectivity. The Paradise can now be Paired with 8 different devices, Apple or Android. They can actively connect to 2 different devices at the same time so you don't have to constantly turn OFF/ON Bluetooth to switch between different Bluetooth devices.
The Paradise hearing aids offer true Hands-Free phone calling, because they use the microphones on your hearing aids to pick up your voice and send it to the person on the other end of the line. What's even cooler, is you don't need to search for the push button anymore if you want to answer phone calls. With the Motion Sensor, you can just double tap your ear to answer your phone and double tap again to hang up. Your hearing aids will even announce who is calling so you don't even need your phone to see who is calling.
You can stream audio from virtually any Bluetooth device as well so if you want to listen to music, podcasts, audiobooks, or CZcams videos, you can get the audio directly into your hearing aids. The Audeo Paradise Hearing Aids also let you access your Voice Assistant such as Siri, Bixby, or Google Assistant with a double tap as well so you don't even need to look at your phone anymore.
The Paradise devices connect to 2 TV Connectors at one time, give you access to the PartnerMic remote microphone, Roger Select or Roger Pen with an integrated Roger Receiver, and access to a Remote Control or the MyPhonak App. The MyPhonak app is very similar to the App used by the Marvel, with a few small adjustments. You can adjust Volume, Program, a 3-band equalizer, Noise Reduction, Speech Focus, and Compression.
Of course, you can still do Remote Care with your hearing care provider through your Smart Device. I've done a TON of Remote Care sessions with patients who have the Marvel devices and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT! No longer do you need to go in to your provider's office for adjustments if you live far away or can't physically make it to their office. I find it to be extremely convenient and reliable as long as no physical maintenance or repairs are needed.
Phonak has also released the New AutoSense OS 4.0 Operating System. This gives you all of the same features as 3.0 with a few key additions on top of the Motion Sensor. These include Dynamic Noise Cancellation which can improve Signal-to-Noise by up to 4 decibels which is a big deal, Speech Enhancer which increases audibility in quiet environments, and the ability of your hearing care provider to create 4 additional manual programs instead of 3. They are also releasing a new Fitting formula called Adaptive Phonak Digital 2.0 which is designed to allow Adaptive Compression Speeds, utilize more Linear High-Level Gain, and perform a better First-Fit pre-calculation.
The Paradise does not yet have a CROS option for Single Sided Deafness.

You are just so awesome!! 👍👍👍👍
Doctor Cliff I've come across your channel and im really soaking everything up. I know your a busy man but I have a question that is just bizarre for most other ents I have bad tinnitus and I'm suspecting hearing lose at certain frequencies. I hear noises that arnt there when there's background noise. Almost like my ears are hearing something thats not there made from other sounds its pretty weird. I've gotten major anxiety because of it feeling like it will be permanent as my hearing gets worse. Is this normal for hearing loss? I really appreciate the community your channel has brought together. God bless all of you out here suffering there will be a cure soon im praying!
Is the bluetooth connectivity finally good? The marvel line was complete garbage in terms of bluetooth audio reliability, it would cut out many time when outside, and when connected to a computer would cut out randomly causing me to miss sentences or dialogue from online lectures and movies/tv shows.
I love my Paradise aids and the double tap feature. However I still have to look at my phone before answering a call. I get to many spam calls.
I just got the phonak p90 and a cross over hearing aid today I like them the only thing I can't do is pair the hearing aids to the app and turn the volume up or down and the auto noise Cancelation doesn't really work like I thought it wood. When watching TV I hear a lot of muffuling and alot of speech slering, the only way I know how to explain it idk if anyone could help with This..
On day 3 wearing these. OMG what a difference!! Was just out walking the dog streaming Pandora. I could hear every note and word. Wow it was incredible. Amber at The ENT and allergy centers in Mckinney Tx did my real ear measurement and fitting. I can even understand my wife!! Thank you for your videos. You convinced me to go the correct route to better hearing.
I thought with Phonak’s tenure in the audiology space that the Audeo would fit better and be more trouble free. The behind the ear model is too thick and pushes my outer ear. These Phonak hearing aids seem to suffer from short term memory loss. They frequently disconnect from my iPhone 13 while I’m using the Bluetooth feature. Shutting down the iPhone and restarting does not reconnect. There is a significant delay after reconnecting Bluetooth.
Please never stop making videos. You make learning these new features interesting and easy! As a Hearing Instrument Specialist from Texas I really enjoy your videos.
As a teenager I have the marvel and I love it! Makes it so much easier than my old hearing aids but I’m getting the paradise in two weeks! I’m hyped for it!
Can you create IOS shortcuts to select the profiles? (If you are an IOS user)
I just got my new Paradise aids 5/14/21. I enjoy the differences from my m
Marvel aids.
@@jackmoerman7245 hey man which model did u get for the Paradise ? P90 or lower model ? and your Marvel model too ? tks u
I haven't worn hearing aids since the late 80's because I hated them. They just amplified everything instead of only what I needed. This video not only made me make an appointment with my ear doctor, but I am 100% prepared to "fire" them and get another doctor if they can't get these. I'm impressed. I'm sure everyone I know will thank you.
I just received my Phonak Audeo Paradise 90 hearing aids from Yes Hearing, my audiologist, Dr. Patricia Stofiel came to my home and gave me a hearing test. She is great, I am now wearing them, I love them thanks for all the good information that you gave in your videos about Phonak.
How it's working so far
I’m trialing the P90 R as I write this. I currently wear the OPN 1. Here are some initial observations: The tap control feature is a gimmick at best and I gave up slapping my ear trying to get it to work. It was sporadic if it worked at all. As Dr. Cliff mentioned, the custom program is a nice feature that allows you to fine tune your settings for unique situations. But it is made totally useless by being wiped out every time you get a notification. I wear an Apple Watch so I constantly get alerts and each time it would wipe out my custom program. The only way you can reinstate it is through the App which means that you have to have your IPhone handy or you’re out of luck. The ability to have connections to multiple devices at once is a nice feature. I have the aids connected to my watch, Iphone and IPad currently. I find myself constantly adjusting the volume and bass/treble especially when the custom program gets booted. Some of the issues I’m having I think could be resolved by fine tuning the aids by the audiologist. But overall I am not impressed enough to spend the money to replace my current devices.
That's what I needed to know. Thank you.

As a hearing-care provider in training from Germany this channel is truly a great help I am quite happy that my teacher recommended me this channel
If you keep you phone on silent you can still receive your phone calls through your aids. This way notifications don’t come through messing your settings up. I personally don’t like notifications I prefer to manual check myself when I’m ready.
DR CLIFF. IVE BEEN LISTING TO YOU ABOUT 3 YEARS. I AM TOTALY sold on these PHONAK. AUDEO PARIDICE HEARING AIDS. SO DR CLIFF IM GOING TO GO HERE ON AUG-3. AND BY THESE IVE DONE MY HOME WORK. THANKS TOU YOU!!!! I GOING TO EDINA MINNESOTA AT HEARING CONCEPTS. BY THE WAY ITS ON YOUR BEST DR.S. LIST. THANK YOU SO MUCH. DR CLIFF.. JOHN. MINNESOTA
I will be purchasing a Phonak P90 from a certified Audiologist in the next month. I have already been for haring test and met with the doctor and decided with her input to get the P90. Now I am doing research ahead of time instead of after the purchase. I really appreciate the information you give. I will be asking about the real ear measurement procedure before I fully commit to this doctor. I have mild to severe hearing loss. and have never worn aids. I don't know anyone who has hearing aids and likes them.. I hope I make the best decision and actually like the P90
Is it really such a big differnce in using P30 vs P90 without dynamic noise canceling and speach enhancer or is just minor and hard to hear the differnce if real era measuremnt is done well ? I appreciate your answer
I am currently using the audeo Marvel and my biggest gripe is the poor battery life when using bluetooth. The rechargeable batteries is advertised to last 24 hours but realistically I get 16 hours with 2-3 hours of bluetooth usage. If the batteries are the same in the paradise then I would recommend everyone get the non-rechargeable version...
I am in trial with the P50 RT paradis aids. Previously had WIDEX Beyond for comparison. The Bluetooth improvement is no joke - it is real. I NEVER heard sound quality like this thru bluetooth - I can now hear true bass notes. amazing. and it stays connected for a longer distance. We did not do real Ear yet - just first fitting and the hearing is so natural. I don't even think about having a hearing aid on. The P50 does not have advanced noise reduction for crowds but I do OK in restaurants so far. Not sure how much better the P90 would be. The other thing is the elimination in feedback whistling. I can actually sleep with these on. Its only been a week but so far so great!
OH - battery life. Yesterday I went all day - from 6 AM to 9PM with listening to Audible and TV through bluetooth for at least 60% of that time while working. I still had power left but barely - below 10% at end of day but I made it through so I take this as a positive but there IS a limit!
Hello! How much did you pay for your P50s? I'm planning also to buy and I just want to make sure I get the best prices. Hoping for your reply thank you.
Ich bin Augenoptikermeister und Hörakustikermeister (Bachelor Professional Augenoptik und Hörakustik) aus Berlin, Deutschland. Jedes Mal, wenn ich mir Clips von Doc Cliff ansehe, bin ich von seinem Enthusiasmus begeistert. Jetzt habe ich gerade die zweistündige Phonak Launch 2020 für das "Audéo Paradise" hinter mir. In den knapp 16 Minuten von Doc Cliff habe ich Informationen sehr präzise und anschaulicher erhalten als in dem Launch von Phonak. Ich finde Sie cool.
Mit kollegialen Grüßen, Gerhard Müller
I am a master optician and master hearing acoustician (Bachelor Professional Ophthalmic Optics and Hearing Acoustics) from Berlin, Germany. Every time I watch clips from Doc Cliff, I love his enthusiasm. Now I have just finished the two-hour Phonak Launch 2020 for "Audéo Paradise". In just under 16 minutes from Doc Cliff, I received information very precisely and clearly than in the Phonak launch. I think you're cool.
With collegial regards, Gerhard Müller
du bist sehr willkommen und ich finde dich auch cool!
Hey Cliff! They have actually come out with a revised version of the CeruDisc which is MUCH easier to operate. 😄
Amazing video! Thank you for such a detailed review. I just ordered this Paradise P-90 model. This is my first hearing aid and I have been hesitant. I love my audiologist (St. Louis area) and we decided this was the best model for my needs and lifestyle. You and Ashley are a fine-looking couple BTW!
Just got these from the va last Monday and the difference is absolutely amazing. They gave me a choice and using Dr Cliffs videos I chose these and man am I glad I did. Thank you for all the great information.
GREAT vid. Thanks so much for doing this. Just got a P 90 R two days ago. Honestly, I have no idea what to think. Not like glasses that you put on, things re more clear and away you go. Hearing is a whole different thing. How very weird to have hearing aids. How very weird.
How the performance so far?
@@maxxwell1771 Hey Maxx, the performance is wonderful! I love them. Unlike glasses which make you 20/20 instantly, the auditory sense needs a few days to wake up but I have come to realize that I can actually hear people without having them scream at me.
I’m going to be getting my first set of hearing aids very soon and I really appreciate all of your videos. It’s a lot of money to spend and I want to make sure I’m making the right decision. I’ll be getting some Phonak. Hopefully they help.
My experiences after three days are absolutely super. I don't have the imagination to why you shouldn't be satisfied. They are just perfect my P90 rt.
After watching several of your videos on the Paradise I ordered the P90's today. Thank you for your in depth reviews including the things you didn't like about them. It helps me feel comfortable with the decision I made.
How the performance so far?
Thanks for your presentation. I just received my Phonak hearing aids from the VA. I will have a video conference call with the VA next week to discuss how to use the new aids. I have the Phonak audeo P90 R RIC. Have been using Costco hearing aids for the past 3 years. These Phonak are light years in advancement over the Costco aids. Already wearing the Phonak aids now. I am enjoying hearing clear sounds now. Next week I will Bluetooth the aids to my phone and my TV. Again thanks for your impressive presentation. Lance
Just received a pair of these two weeks ago. As an individual with a lifelong hearing loss and a fan of ITC, I was told it was time to get BTE for more power to properly fix my hearing loss. It took a bit of an adjustment but I am quite satisfied with them. My only pet peeve is the clicking noises when I use certain apps on my iPhone. I have turned off haptics and notifications but I still get them. If anyone has a solution to this I would love to hear it. Besides that, this is my first time with Phonak and it is a great product!
Have you found a fix, or did you just get used to it?
I've listened to several of your videos now and find them a great source of information in an otherwise confusing and marketing driven area. I'm looking at the new Oticon more and the Phonak paradise--but neither have CROS compatibility at the moment. Will you post when the 1st one is available? Would it be worth waiting for one vs. the other? Thank you and thanks for all the great information!
Oh man I just got the Audeo Marvel last year - I can't believe it's taken me this long to find out about the Paradise :O
Just might upgrade to these next year. So much more useful for volume/phone-call control when I'm riding a bicycle with a helmet on. The straps and my glasses always interfere with reaching the buttons accurately. Also super helpful for cold weather rides when I wear gloves!
Finally, accessing Google Assistant with a tap - the one feature of Bluetooth headphones I've been wishing my hearing aids had.
Can't even look at any other hearing aid manufacturer at this point.
I'm totally with you in my hopes that they devise a solution to the hearing aids always returning to autosense after bluetooth streaming mode. I always assumed it was an "easy" thing to do, but they decided against making that the default behavior to protect people from themselves. I can easily see people failing to derive maximum benefit from their hearing aids when they change the audio profile, and forget to revert it to autosense. This could especially create dissatisfaction among elderly, less tech-savvy users (probably their largest customer base) who cant figure out what's wrong/different and spam audiologists with complaints.
I just received my P90s. My only problem is that when I double tap my ear, Bixby comes up and I have figured out how to change that to Google on my Samsung S20FE. The hearing aids are outstanding.
Received mine a couple of days ago and phone calls are amazing. Tinnitus is not much reduced, but go back in a month for more tweeking. Just getting used to fitting receivers. Adding b/tooth devices could be made easier on App, but I guess once added can forget. Waiting for TV connector which if like phone will be amazing, and had my first business meeting today and could hear everyone. Fantastic.
Pricey though but if you have multiple b/t devices to add, probably one of the best, which is why my audiologist recommended them for me, but each to their own.
Really appreciate the info you produce which gas proved very informative and useful. Thank you.
Thanks Doc for all your reviews. I'm in the market for new hearing aids. I've had my old Phonak for 13 years. They've improved a lot since then. I like that I can use Bluetooth and phone app on this new Audeo Paradise. My old set has none of those features and it was top of the line back then. LOL
Thanks for the great information! I just wrapped up my 7 year denial period and ordered a pair of p-90 RTs. With the advancements in technology and the increased acceptance of thinging in everyones ears (like airpods) I suspect hearing wearables will soon be a norm for the nonhearing impaired!
Oooh... I'm due for my second pair of hearing aids next year. I think I know what I'm going to be looking at now! Not having the mic in the hearing aid able to act as my phone pickup, and not being able to connect them to my computer were about the only complaints I have about my OPNs. Of course I've still got about 6 months left on these, so who knows what Oticon will come out with to compete between now and then.
Great video Dr. Cliff. You helped me a lot by making an informed decision. I am from South Africa and my health care provider supports Signia, Phonak and a few others. I use Signia which I am fairly satisfied with. The Phonak really impressed me. Thank you again.
I'm so excited to be able to get these since United changed their program. My audiologist just ordered the P90s for me, upgrading from hi health innovative. My hearing has drastically dropped in the last couple years with severe chronic tinnitus. I constantly have to use the external mic to hear, and my clarity sucks right now. I have to use headphones to hear on my school zooms (I'm a para-educator FDL). I'm SO looking forward to streaming to my computer and phone!!! And may get the tv connector as well. Can't wait, thanks for the awesome review letting me know what to expect!
How long did it take for your hearing aids to arrive?
I've been wearing h/a since 2 years old. My last hearing aids were 2007. I'm way overdue for new hearing aids! I didn't know you could A.) get hearing aids without a prescription now B.) didn't know you could bluetooth your hearing aids and C.) I'm sure there's waaay more that I'm missing. Thank you for this! Born with bilateral nerve deafness - moderate to profound. Which hearing aid is best? These sound amazing - thank you for these videos!
The two hearing aid recommended for me are the ReSound One and Phonak Audio Paradise. Both videos were good but I don't know which one to chose. My ears do run a lot. The ReSound is a little more than $500 compared to the Phonak. Right now I have the Signa that don't work very good for me.
They should be able to give you their recommendation if you can't decide.
I'm buying my 1st pair of hearing aids in 12 years cause of the Bluetooth capabilities. Stopped using them once they got too old and I spent so much time using headphones because of my job and lifestyle. But I can use these to stream audio which means I can have both hearing aids and headphones.
I just returned from my wife’s audiologist in NYC. He is affiliated with a hospital. He spent 30 minutes but failed to get the Phonak “ON” to work. He spoke with a Phonak rep ( after a long wait) ; she could not solve the problem. Be aware !
Thank you so much for all this helpful information. 😊
Unfortunately, I purchased the Phonak Audeo P90-RT about 1yr ago. But, wasn't aware of the limitation of Single Sided Cros.
As I was born with Severe hearing loss on one side, and Profound hearing loss on the other, a Cros setup was my best option.
Sadly, this means none of the app functionality is available! Which is Immensely frustrating and heartbreaking for me. Having waited 50yrs to be able to afford Aids. Here in OZ my level of Congenital hearing loss is Not Considered by our Goverment as a Dis-Ability...
It's just seen as a mild inconvienience to the individual.
If only they (Gov) Understood how for from correct they are!! 😮
God Bless all those who benefit from full Set-up Pair of Phonak Audeo P90 with App functionality. ❤
Please, Phonak consider those who's only real Choice is a Cros set-up?? 😢
I wish you were my audiologist! When new hearing aid time comes i have to go in there with datasheets for the newest models as they like to sell what they know the most about. P.S. i'm not a Karen i swear. haha
Karen...LOL. 😂 Thanks Tom, hopefully you got the devices you want!
I just bought a pair of Paradise hearing aids. After looking through the instruction booklet, nowhere is the word, Paradise, used. Would you verify that the instruction booklet calls the hearing aids by its name, instead of a P70?
I am a musician, and know a lot about audio processing and recording. I asked Phonak to explain what their various settings do and was told to "go to the website" (i.e. GTH). So they immediately lost a sale. As usual, Marketing departments ruin products. But I suspect all companies are like this. I need to know what devices are doing so I can use them properly and understand the limitations that they may pose, for example in a recording environment. i.e. what extra hidden EQ is used, dynamic range compression, expansion, etc. etc. Thoughts on gaining access to this information?
Thank you so much for the information. I have just acquired Phonak Paradise P90 and I am trying to get the best out of it.
Please keep us posted on what you think. Did you get the rechargeable or the weekly battery replacement ones?
I may be getting a new set P90 Premium in January.
Thanks
John in Surprise Arizona
The problem I think with Motion Sensing is if I'm standing in a social situation, a bar, a crowded room. I don't want it to think I'm moving so then let in all that background noise.
Hi Dr Cliff, good intro to the product , thanks a million. It will be good to compare this with the new Resound one M&re....
I'm reviewing the ReSound ONE next.
I have the Phonak Marvel hearing aids - first time HA wearer. They have a number of the features highlighted in the video - including the custom program that you can do....HOWEVER - whenever I create Custom programs and save them...They work great for awhile - THEN they just up and disappear after about 2 weeks - with no intervention or visit to the AUD's office. My AUD mentioned their other patients have the same issue. She contacted Phonak and this appears to be a known issue with no solution. Second - I am wondering if some of the features may be able to be introduce to the Marvel line with an upgrade to the version of the App? Obviously not all since they have different chips but the soft voice feature mentioned would be great. Lastly - I suppose there is no trade-in/upgrade available to go to the Paradise vs the Marvels? I have been very pleased with my Phonak Marvel's and their performance.
Yes, the issue you speak of is universal. Phonak is aware of the issue, but still waiting for a firmware update fix. The Marvels will have access to updated MyPhonak App releases, but still won't have all the same features as the Paradise. Upgrade/trade-in programs would be clinic dependent. No need to upgrade immediately unless you MUST have the new features. 😀
Talked to my Audiologist and will be switching over the the Paradise as soon as it is available to the VA. One question, with all the Bluetooth capabilities offered in the Paradise model; will this reduce the life of the battery? I see myself using a Bluetooth link to my computer and iPhone during the day with a connection to my car when I am out and about, finally a TV Connector at night. Will all these connections shorten my daily battery life? Thank you for your posts. You offer concise and accurate information and it is really appreciated.
Yes, using constant Bluetooth connection throughout the day will deplete your battery faster. However, the TV connector drains battery at a slower rate than Bluetooth Classic.
I was able to get 24 hour life out of the rechargeable on a day that I streamed constantly but that is is - they were under 10% at that point
I have fit about 10-15 sets of Paradise so far and patients love them. I too am disappointed they do not have a CROS transmitter available for Paradise or even the Marvel (which I also dispensed a lot of ). Yes it might be "in the works" but that doesn't help me or my patients who need to be fit now. I refuse to use three-generations old technology for my CROS patients (aka Belong). What is your go-to CROS transmitter? I am trying Oticon's soon since I also like the Opn S series and fit a lot of them. But no rechargeable available with their CROS which my patients really want.
I just left a comment, actually question, about the use of a CROS device with this Paradise, and in this video it's mentioned "NO", but the Phonak engineers are working on it, the video was released about 6 months ago, is there any update on this topic? Thanks.
I have single sided moderate to severe hearing loss. Not enough loss for my AuD to suggest any CROS HA. When looking into the Marvels I noticed some of the technology(speech in loud noise) in the m90 seemed to depend on having two HA. What they referred to as "Binaural VoiceStream Technology" or "StereoZoom". Is that still the case for the p90 technology(dynamic noise cancellation, speech enhancer)? Or will I be able to enjoy all of the benefits of the p90 with a single HA?
edit to add: I'm not totally sure which features/capabilities require 2 HA for the Marvel, so correct me where I am wrong on that point.
For everyone else's benefit. Dr. Cliff responded to my comment on the previous version of this video. Here is his reply.
"You will definitely give up some features with only one device. However, noise cancellation should still work, just not anything that requires directionality."
Another aspect I'd love to be included in reviews: color options.
Easily viewed on the Phonak site
Dr Cliff can you compare the call quality compared to the phones microphone? How is the voice quality in noisy environments? I never like hearing Bluetooth voice quality that we hear so much now on online meetings and TV shoes.
Now between new Phonak with all the features and Widex Moments seems like a tough choice.
which did you choose?
I'm getting a serious sense of deja vu I definitely watched this this morning when doctor Cliff posted this
I had some editing mistakes in the first release. Rookie mistake that I shouldn't be making after 325+ videos. Ugh.😔
@@DrCliffAuD 🤣 no worries a double take it also useful in some situations
The new Phonak Audéo Paradise hearing aids sound fantastic! Thank you so much for the great review. I am in the middle of my trial period for the Audéo Marvel hearing aids, which I am loving so far. All these new great features are exciting to me, so I hope to be able to purchase them before my trial period ends. When will they be available for purchase in the US and in Canada?
Kim Hanna if you like the phonak marvel, then buy the ks9 Kirkland from Costco , it’s exactly same, also issued by phonak marvel with the same updates but waAaaaaay cheaper. I purchased it last month, after month of research, I hope Costco and phonak release the audio paradise as their updates products in the near future.
@@mz7461 Thank you so much for your response and suggestion. I did check out Costco KS9’s from Costco. Due to my work I really need rechargeable aids and the KS9’s are disposable batteries. With my previous Phonak’s I was only getting 3 days with the disposables and that was without streaming. During my trial I have come to LOVE the rechargeable batteries and I will never go back. Now that the new Phonak Paradise is out, and since I’m still in my trial period I am hoping I can get them here in Canada before my trial ends September 16th.
Hello Dr Cliff, I been told you don't need to the REM as the hearing does it for you through the insitu set-up? is this the case?
I have the same question. I am inferring that the REM is a VERIFICATION of the insitu. I have found the REM was important to customize the sound (which varied from the auto-setup).
if we get another stimulus I am am going to use it towards a new aid
That’s what we did for our teenager!
is the P20 to the P70 a big differance?? I am tying to decide
There is no P20, there is a P30. But yes, there is a pretty big difference up to the P70 in my opinion.
My wife's Phonak paradise hearing aids suddenly stopped working. We live 100 miles from NYC so we had to contact to audiologist ( not simple; I reached him by email eventually ), mail the hearing aids to him, wait for the hearing aids to go to Illinois where Phonak serviced them, and we still wait for their return .....Two weeks !
What about recommending extra hearing aids as backup.....another issue you just touch on. Only the provider knows when there is a firmware ( or is it software update ). My wife's provider never even mentioned updates. How do you handle this ?
Great programs....
In my clinic we send Loaner devices to patients while they wait for their hearing aids to get repaired. If they have custom earmolds on their devices, we recommend they have a backup pair to use while their devices are off for repair. This leads to very little downtime, but you have to be a patient of a clinic willing to do this.
Dr Cliff, I love your videos! Thank you for all you do for the hearing community!!! I purchased these hearing aids because of this video. I absolutely love them, however, I am having streaming issues where it sounds like the voices are talking through kazoos or through blown-out speakers in my ears. This is only a streaming issue from my iPhone 11. An audiologist in a Facebook Hearing Forum told me about a “fixed“ or “adaptive“ setting in the audiologist’s software that could fix this issue. Are you aware of this? Thank you so much.
Hi Dr. Cliff, If I understood you correctly, the motion sensor is only available in rechargeable version. Is that due to size limitations? I am looking into new hearing aids but I am a big fan of using batteries and I am wondering if I'll be missing out on better quality hearing if I do not get rechargeable version. How has your experience been with the motion sensor? Thank you for making awesome and informative videos!
I think the motion sensor is worth it. It is only in the Rechargeable version due to power requirements.
Just recently purchase a pair of Phonak Paradise hearing aids, if there any way to tell is they were used previously ?
Have you ever done a video on water or moisture resistance, perspiration has always been a hearing aid killer for me
Yes Dr. CliffAuD did a video of Waterproof hearing Aids on CZcams videos I just watched it this year 1-18-2022 1am morning .
Dr. CliffAuD also mentioned -EarGear a sleeve wearing over Marvel Phonak Hearings Aides , and use dehydration Zephyr or PerfectDry Lux comes in container to remove moisture from hearings Aides , be sure to remove all batteries from the hearing Aids before used . I'm wearing a Old model Phonak Milo Plus since 2015 . I'm thinking 🤔 about buying a waterproof Phonak Hearings Aides sometime in either February 2022 or whenever I get get Insurance . I was born Premature baby deaf .
I been wearing hearing Aids since 1970 using a AAA batteries box hearing Aids in my shirt pocket .
These sound amazing I have a old phonak hearing aid not sure which model but have always wished it had clearer speech on it which I really struggle with
It seems from the spec that Motion Sensor and the Tap features are only for the rechargeable Paradise. Why??
Rechargeables have more power than the battery models apparently. I wanted battery in-the- ear but not if I'm losing features. So I guess I'm going with Rechargeable behind-the-ear ones and hope my mask 😷 doesn't tangle up in the hearing aid!
I got a little clip that snaps behind the head instead of around the ears (came with hearing aid) and I've only used it a little but it seems to fix the problem of the hearing aids coming off with the mask which was a real concern. Tag is Sonova (hear the world). Hope that helps I didn't like checking If my hearing aids were coming off after removing my mask.
I love them but one problem is that they constantly did connect from phone while using. Any suggestions appreciated
Hi Dr. Cliff - great videos! I'm all jazzed about the Paradise. Any idea when Virto ITE will offer Paradise upgrade???
Thanks for the work you are doing. I use a cros system. Could I just buy a Roger and hang it on my not working ear and use it that as a cros?
I guess technically you could, but it would probably be better to use the Partner Mic and clip it to the collar on your non working side.
Day 1 with my two Phonak AureoP70-13 ! What a diffirence for my life. Thank you for the video. How do I connect my PC audio to my earing aids ? I am learning Italian language and I have to use my earphones. Thanks again Richard
I want this and don't even need hearing aids :D
LMAO I was thinking the same thing! I'm researching them for my husband.
Great video thank you, 14/5/2022, 2 years on I still need to turn the apple app Bluetooth off to save or get settings to work.
The Phonaks sound great except for losing your custom settings and being pushed off your current settings by incoming notices to your phone. To me this is a non-starter. I have Resound 3Ds and would like better sound but the stability of the app has no equal. I have tried Signia and Widex and rejected both because the app keeps losing connections and resets to the default on its own, on a regular basis. Looking forward to your review of the Resound One. You do a great service to people looking for hearing aid and related information.
You would have to think they're working on a update for it.
I might as well NOT set up if the notifications will turn off the customizations??? Resound 3Ds? I will be making my first hearing aid purchase in the next 30 days and would like to learn how to make the right choice???
Hi Dr Cliff, I’m new to hearing aids and trying to decide between Phonak Paradise and Resound One 9-61. I’ve learned so much by watching your video reviews but still on the fence which one to purchase. Pricing is the same. Thank you!
I've just got my pair of P90's. Luckily I live in Norway so I get it for free through the social system. If not I would have to pay about 1700,-$.
I have had them for only three days but allready I'm a huge fan. The only drawback in using hearing aid is that my right ear itch when I use them. Hopefully it goes away when I get used to them.
I allso have to say that it's pretty cool to stream my favorite music straight to my ears when I'm out eg shopping and so forth. When the tryout periode is over in a three months time I will allso get all the Roger equipment for free as well. Even I as a Norwegian is quite amazed that we have such a great social care system that gives every citizen the right to have hearing aid equipment for free. And I'm in full job with a deasent salary...😊 😊
How does it do in windy conditions?
@@nolancrusat1127 I'm a bit new to hearing aids so I don't have much to compere with but I find them a bit to sensitive for the wind for my expectations. I might have raised the expectations a little to high but as hearing-aids! I would've thought they were more shielded to wind. A part from that they are great.
Tomorrow I'm gonna try out some other hearing-aids: Oticon More. I'm very excited on those.
So lucky!!! Almost 8000 here in 🇨🇦
@@leahbrown4042 eh?🙀 8000 yikes
How long did it take to get them? I just did my ent testing a week ago.
I love listening to your reviews. How well do the Phonak Paradise hearing aids handle the wind? Does Resound One handle the wind better?
Thank you for the thorough review on these devices and advanced features. Also especially on the news that phonak is working on CROS. I guess I will keeping waiting.
Yeah, I JUST bought the marvels though . I hope hearing aids don’t come out like iPhones every year 😩
Every 2-3 years for hearing aids usually.
Should I wait for the in-the-canal/ half shell or just buy the old marvel?
de t buy the marvel because I don’t think they are coming out with new in the ear ones anytime soon because the paradises just came out.and arnt the virto marvels newish though? See when they came out , check out hearing aid forums like on hearingtracker :)
@@det6509 they usually launch the custom products 6 months later. Id wait. The marvel was not significantly different from the belong except for the addition of Bluetooth. The paradise has different speech processing so hopefully even better sound
Paradise P50 user. Bluetooth for my phone & laptop cuts on & off constantly, beeping drives me nuts. Won't even pair with my MP3 player. connection of tube to body has broken several times and it's now out of warranty so it costs me $200 each time.
When speaking on the phone via these hearing aids the aids still amplify the surrounding sound and pipe it into your ear. There is no way for the user to change the volume of the amplification because the volume controls just control the sound coming from the phone when in phone call mode..... and my audiologist says (while there is a setting to reduce this) this can't be completely shut off in the programming either. I find this incredibly hard to believe. Why on earth does the hearing aid insist on amplifying the road noise making it even harder to hear the person on the other end of the phone call?
Great video recap of features. I just got a pair of P90 hearing aids which are a huge improvement. However, I cannot connect them to my DECT II wireless phone. There was no reference to this in the video so I am wondering if these aids only work with cell phones?
Many thanks to A doctor like you ,,your videos life changing ..thanks from Canada Vancouver..My hearing aid will be a phonak audeo paradise...
Can the rechargeable battery be replaced in the Phonak Paradise model when it fails?
I discovered that the batteries can be changed but only by the factory.
Correct
does the lid have to be closed when charging my phonak hearing aids? I got it to 59 percent over night.
I ride my bicycle for about two hours a day. I love that I can listen to music through my new Paradise aids, but the wind noise is still an issue. Is there a setting or adjustment that my audiologist can use to cut out the wind sound without losing the sound of cars approaching from behind?
nice video... my mother (81 years) has a Severe loss on Left year nd Profound loss on right year... will model in Pronak will suit her best.. any indicative suggestions please?
I have a LG Stylo 6 Android phone. Is the Phonak Paradise hearing aids compatible to my phone?
Hi Dr. Cliff, I am in the middle of trying to research which HA I am going to purchase (have never worn them). I really appreciate all of your videos, I have watched four of them today. In your opinion, from a sound clarity and Bluetooth connectivity perspective, do you prefer the Phonal Audeo Paradise P90 RT over the Starkey Livio Edge Ai i2400?
Connectivity I would have to lean towards Phonak. Clarity depends on how they are programmed. Make sure you find a hearing care provider who follows Best Practices. Check out my Website to find a Dr. Cliff Network provider near you: DrCliffAuD.com/providers
The P90 version is exactly what I need for my hearing. My wife is Avery soft talker and I also have trouble picking up speech at restaurants. The only dilemma? It will probably be difficult to find a provider that will perform REM that live within 2 hours of where I live!
Where do you live?

Im going to order the Audeo P90-312 on monday ,for one of my customers , looking forward to fitting it.👍
how much is its price?
Are the Kirkland Signature 10.0 exact clones of the P-90’s?
What kind of hearing aidss are shown in 2:00 in this video? Are they BTE hearing aids? I am about to purchase one.
I was wondering how well does it work if I'm wearing a toque? I live in Canada. Does the mic work well if i have it on( toque)
Good question eh. Canadians need to know!
You didn’t talk about audio quality. I’m a musician. How will this fair against something like the Signia 7AX in terms of shear audio resolution?
How can you turn down the volume when receiving phone calls and Texts it is so loud that I can’t wear them I don’t know how to turn it down
Being a full newbie, and having fooled myself into thinking I can still distinguish between good and bad corded buds... I'm considering the ReSound LiNX Quattro, too. The top end is around 9.5 KHz. A)how does the Paradise compare in this item. B)what is the upper bound? Otherwise, liked the video content but, um... decaf is your friend. :)
And where can I buy phonak paradise 9 at the lowest price while getting the after sale services?
Are the paradise hearing aids sold by Costco the same as sold anywhere else
The VA ordered these for me. Surprised them seem decent. Thanks Doc.
Does it matter what type of Android phone that is compatible to the Phonak Paradise hearing aids?
Could you do a review of the differences between the Marvel Audeo M30 and the Paradise Audeo P30?
started my trial today!! I think the only issue I may have is the battery life with a lot of streaming.
I have the Audéo P90-312. How do I activate the double tap feature? And the call announcements of who’s calling?? I can’t find info anywhere on how to do this.
Thank you for such a detailed explanation of the Phonak Audeo Paradise Hearing Aids.
I am a singer and find that in live situations my ears clog up but when I turn pa down I can't hear everything clearly. Also don't want notifications from phone coming through during performance. Is there a setting I should use for this?
