Precise Review
Unitron Next has the ability to improve your hearing as well as, or better than, any technology on the market. We feel that for anyone that has up to moderately severe hearing loss, Next represents an exceptional value.
-
The aids come with an OnBoard™ button that allows you to manually select the setting that best suits the sound environment where you find yourself. That, coupled with a very good automatic program, will meet most people’s needs.
For those who want even more control, the Smart Control Remote (Not compatible with the Next E) delivers. Select from up to four memory settings programmed into the device, manually adjust the volume, and manually adjust the Comfort/Clarity (an awesome feature only available on the latest top of the line brands).
For those that value ease of maintenance, choose the Moda II.
For those that want the absolute highest fidelity sound, choose the Moxi. (Not available in the Next E.)
