LATEST UPDATE: 5TH MAY 2020

Phonak Extend Audeo Marvel Range To Include Telecoil Hearing Aids!

Exciting news out of the Phonak office again today! Phonak have release two new members to the Audeo Marvel Range. Joining the lineup in the Marvel range which already boasts the global sellouts (stock now available) Audeo MR and Audeo M312 from 2018, Phonak has now made available the M312T and the M13T. So why at EarDeals Sydney are we so excited about this update? Well, the outstanding success of Marvel at launch in November surprised even Phonak on the demand from the Marvel range, to the point where in Australia we actually went dry in January for a short period of time and no company had devices. For the record hearing devices rarely cause this type of rush. So naturally, we are expecting that the new range which boasts the additional telecoil technology as an added feature will raise the eyebrow of telecoil enthusiasts around Australia.

What is a telecoil?

Although a relatively old style of technology a telecoil is a tiny metal coil inside a hearing aid. The coil is designed as a receiver which catches signals from a loop system. A loop system works as an electromagnetic field. When a hearing aid wearer enters this electromagnetic field with an activated telecoil the hearing aids convert the energy into a sound signal and thus amplifies the sound through the wearers hearing aids.

Where do telecoils exist?

This is the thing… unless you are aware of where a telecoil or loop system exist you probably won’t notice you’re in the available electromagnetic field. The systems are most commonly found in places where hearing is essential to people for the means of listening, as the loop system is a form of one-way communication where the wearer is more or less sent messages like a radio.

The most common locations are in places of education such as universities and tafes. However, the widespread growth and understanding of the technology, has seen the systems available in airports when flights are being called, museums and even public concert and entertainment halls. If you frequent Return Services Clubs around Australia or even some lifesaving clubs, the technology is growing in these types of places as well.

One of the most sort after reasons for the use of telecoil systems is in movie theatres. The technology has become increasingly more popular as the older demographic becomes the key driver of ticket sales across Australia.

Choosing The Right Telecoil Device: 

 Telecoil VS Others In The Marvel Range

The Telecoil inside the device does take up more hearing aid space and as such the manufacturers have to increase the size of the hearing aid compared to devices that don’t have a telecoil. But before you start to go “no no that’s not for me”, we are talking a very small percentage. However, if you are seriously considering a small powerful device on a range that Phonak Marvel range, you are probably going to prefer the MR (Rechargeable) or M312 (battery powered) devices which launched late 2018 (details below).

So what are the key differences between the Audeo Marvel 312T and the Audeo Marvel 13T?

When it comes to the two devices there are a few key differences these are:

• The M312T is smaller than the M13T due to battery size
• The M13T is more powerful due to a larger battery size lending itself to longer battery life and larger hearing loss types

All you need to decide is if you want rechargeable, telecoil; what technology level and its colour!
