Phonak

Bolero Belong Hearing Devices

Bolero is the name that Phonak assigns to their behind the ear hearing aids. As we said, alongside the launch of their new Bolero Belong range of hearing aids, they have launched a lithium-ion rechargeable BTE, the Bolero B-PR. It is both the first Lithium-ion rechargeable BTE on the market and the first ever Phonak rechargeable BTE hearing aid.

The device will cover severe hearing losses and has a telecoil, programme button and volume control. As with their very popular Audeo option, they say that full charge will deliver 24 hours of hearing and up to 80 minutes wireless streaming time.

The Hearing Aid Styles

The new Bolero range will have four Bolero B models. They will include B-M, B-P, B-SP, and the rechargeable B-PR all of which you can see in the picture below.  As with the Audeo Belong range it will run on the new improved AutoSense OS and will come in the usual four levels of technology the 90, the 70, the 50 and the 30. There has been no word on the availability of the rechargeable device in the 30 level of technology.
