Bernafon Viron 9 BTE hearing aid Review

The new Viron 9 BTE 105 hearing aid  was introduced in 2019 and has been a great addition to Bernafon’s product portfolio. Viron 9 BTE 105  is the industry’s first True Environment Processing hearing aid.

This hearing aid uses a completely new chip platform that delivers super-fast sound detection and processing so that users can receive more precise information about their environment in real time. It also has a new feedback cancellation system.

Viron 9 hearing aids can help with a wide range of hearing levels (from mild to profound) and offer features like Bluetooth connectivity, phone EasyControl-A application and rechargeable options.

With the rechargeable option, there is an option to change the device from rechargeable to non-rechargeable. I have found clients appreciate this ability for emergencies like when they forget to charge the hearing aids.

From a design point of view, Viron 9 9 BTE 105 hearing aids look like a more traditional hearing aid that needs updating. User controls are also bulky. Many clients like the ‘one program’ approach called DECS technology available in Viron 9 9 BTE hearing aids.

Like many other product, Viron 9 offers iPhone &/or Android Bluetooth connectivity. In conclusion, I would recommend Viron 9 hearing aids for the appropriate clients. I would recommend having a discussion with your audiologist to determine if this device is right for you.
