Precise Review
Passport Hearing Aids by Unitron Hearing
With the introduction of Passport Unitron has built on the success of the Yuu™ and Next™ lines. The two complaints we heard from users with the older models, BlueTooth capability and self learning, have been addressed.
In addition, improvements in feedback and noise reduction are always a big plus. Now with the ability to use the Passport Smart Control to fine tune the hearing aids to your sound environments, we think Unitron Passport is a winner.
