Phonak / Unitron group are way out in front, and that's not surprising - the processor chip they use is creating very high levels of client satisfaction. And their mini receiver in ear product is TINY and very well built. I have noted that the nanotech cover on the microphones is a little thin, thus leading to audible hair rustle for some wearers, but for most, PHONAK UNITRON is outstanding right now. OF COURSE, THAT ASSUMES YOU PAY THE RIGHT PRICE!
Widex has always been a favourite of hearingaidsecrets - even though it is a little pricey. HOWEVER, as from JULY 10, Widex are opening their own plant in the UK. This is great news, but as with any new manufacturing site, be wary on price and build quality issues of in-the-ear aids for the next few months. Call us for up to the minute prices you should pay on WIDEX.
GN Resound are suffering from dropping sales at the moment. Probably a fair enough value-brand.
Siemens hearing aids are well built and the software is great. Prices are too high but they will soon start to take the UK private market more seriously.
Oticon / Bernafon are losing out right now. They are being forced into the high end market only by perhaps being less competitive, This is a mistake, but there is no doubting that their connectline compatible products are amazing.
Starkey receiver in ear aids are a little on the large side. The OTO LENS is a very interesting new tiny hearing aid launching in July 2010 and the touch controls on their BTEs is clever if you don't fancy a remote control.
