Digital The two most common technologies used in hearing aids are analog and digital. Digital is newer and considered to be much more flexible, capable of doing more operations, and the only technology used in modern hearing aids.	Yes
Open Fit Type	Call for Info.
Channels Human speech ranges in frequencies roughly from 250 to 6000 Hz. Hearing aids are built so that this group of frequencies (250 to 6000 Hz) is divided into smaller groups, called bands or channels.	20
Memories Multiple memory settings can be programmed into the aid to give the user the ability to cope with changing sound and noise environments with the push of a button.	5
Technology Level	Call for Info.
Volume Control Volume control is generally considered to be a manual adjustment that the user can control. All hearing aids have automatic gain control designed to make soft sounds audible and loud sounds tolerable. This is done automatically within limits programmed into the device.	Available with Remote
On-Board Control Type Controls on hearing aids usually have one or more of: 1. A momentary button used to change from one memory to the next 2. A button used to increase the level of volume 3. A rocker switch where pushing on one end does one function while the other end does another function 4. A wheel that will control volume	Call for Info.
Remote Control Available Remote controls for hearing aids are small enough to comfortably fit in a pocket. A remote control will enable more functions than can be put on a hearing aid itself.	Yes
Directional Microphones Microphones are the electronic component that picks up sound. Microphones are very small and can be made to pick up more sound in one direction than all others. This is called a directional microphone.	Yes
Noise Reduction Technology to separate voices from other sounds is continuously being improved. Each manufacturer has a patented process and trademarked name for noise reduction.	Yes
Sudden Noise Protection This feature helps make hearing aids acoustically comfortable by dampening sudden loud noises, such as a dropped dish.	No
Wind Noise Protection Wind noise is an important feature for those that spend time in the outdoors by reducing the roar of wind across the microphone. This feature is improving but is not effective in gusty wind conditions.	Call for Info.
Feedback Management Acoustic Feedback, is also known as squealing, buzzing, 'your aids are talking to you', etc.	Yes
Telecoil Telecoils help with telephones that are rated hearing aid compatible.	No
Aid-to-Aid Communication Communication from one hearing aid to the other is a very low strength signal designed to keep both hearing aids operating in the same mode at the same volume.	No
Bluetooth Capable Being able to couple your hearing aids with a BlueTooth-enabled device, such as a cell phone, allows phone conversations to be heard through your hearing aids.	Yes
Direct Audio Input (DAI) DAI is only on Large and Full Size hearing aids due to the need for terminals on the outside of the case. Using DAI allows other devices to connect directly to the hearing aids and input their audio signal.	No

Special Features
The Phonak microSavia is totally automatic, great for those that want a hearing aid that is truly, 'Put it on and forget about it.'

Phonak offers three models of optional remote controls for anyone who feels some manual override of the automatic switching would be a benefit.

Comments, Pros & Cons
Phonak recently updated the microSavia to the microSavia ART and microSavia ART CRT (Canal Resonance Technology). These models improve how microSavia determines which program is the best available for a given sound environment. The difference between the two is how the sound is delivered. The microSavia ART delivers sound through a 1 mm tube while the microSavia ART CRT has the speaker in the ear very close to the ear drum. More choices for a state of the art hearing aid technology.

Pros: MicroSavia changes programs to consistently keep the user in an optimal program for their sound environment.

Cons: Mainly in the price arena. The microSavia ART and the microSavia ART CRT are both right at the top of the price range for open ear hearing aids.
Fitting the instrument is more challenging due to the “receiver-in-the-canal”
Continuing maintenance of the receiver-in-the-ear tubes and domes.
