Summary
Outstanding Feature:
The Alpha miniRITE is the first to feature Hybrid Technology™. This is a revolutionary new way of hearing to optimise understanding in different listening environments.


Design:
Slightly larger than competitors equivalent hearing aids, but it remains asthetically pleasing and is well contoured to the shape of the ear.


Features:
Long lasting rechargeable battery, Bluetooth technology, dust and water resistant, and uncompromised speech intelligibility.


Performance:
Excellent sound quality, with reliable outcomes in a range of different environments. The enhanced noise reduction gives unbeatable performance.


Comfort:

60dB receiver (for mild/moderate hearing loss) is the slimmest receiver on the market, making this a comfortable option for those with narrow ear canals. The shape of the aid contours to the shape of the ear.


Aesthetics:
These aids come with a large range of colour options and a sleek design to make this aid a discreet option.


Battery Life:
Up to a full days use from a single charge with fast charging for those times when you need a quick top-up. No integrated battery in the Bernafon recharging unit.
