The Bernafon range of hearing aids
Alpha XT
Designed to mimic animals with exceptional hearing, Bernafon’s revolutionary new hearing aid, the Alpha XT is the second hearing aid buily upon Bernafon’s Hybrid Technology™. Like a hybrid car, it merges two exceptional technologies to provide pure and uncompromised sound – even in exacting listening situations.
The Alpha XT is available in a rechargeable, attractive and discreet model that sits comfortably and securely behind your ear. A three-hour charge will enable a full day of use that includes streaming and phone calls. Easily recharged with its compact desk charger. You can go about your day with confidence and peace of mind. For charging on the go there is also a portable charger plus equipped with a power bank. The Alpha XT is available in two styles and also available in non-rechargeable models.
The Bernafon Alpha XT streams sound directly from iOS devices and the latest Android devices. The Easy Control-A app means you can control your hearing aids conveniently and discreetly with a few taps. A wide range of connectivity accessories are also available to further enhance your listening experience.
Hybrid Technology™ : For best sound without compromise
An industry first, Hybrid Technology™ combines two processing approaches into one hybrid system for improved speech understanding and listening comfort.
Hybrid Noise Management™ carefully reduces noise when necessary to improve speech understanding, meanwhile preserving natural environmental sounds.
Hybrid Sound Processing™ works with two processing strategies simultaneously to deliver natural sound in real time.
Hybrid Balancing™ personalises sound amplification based on your individual preferences.
Hybrid Feedback Canceller™ eliminates disturbing feedback signals within milliseconds before they become audible.
Alpha
The Bernafon Alpha In-the-ear range (ITE) was developed with a focus on improving speech understanding in challenging situations, helping you keep up with fast-changing environments. With real-time amplification, wireless connectivity and a broad range of features, your Alpha hearing aids will give you the freedom to live life to the full.
A choice of ITE styles are available, ranging from the discreet In-the-Canal (ITC) options to the almost undetectable Completely-in-the-Canal (CIC) and Invisible-in-the-Canal (IIC) options. For the more visible models, you can choose from a diverse colour palette to match your skin tone as closely as possible.
Whichever model you choose, Bernafon Alpha In-the-Ear hearing aids are unobtrusive and won’t interfere with putting on your glasses or picking up the phone.
Leox
As Bernafon’s most powerful hearing aid, Leox is ideal for those who need the most help with their hearing. The Behind-the-Ear (BTE) Super Power and Ultra Power models feature True Environment Processing TM technology, enabling industry-leading amplification and authentic sound quality.
Leox hearing aids are designed for those with severe to profound hearing loss, helping you rediscover the nuances of conversation and keep up with the fast pace of everyday life. Leox is available in stylish red and blue metallic colour options alongside more ‘traditional’ colours.
Clear and natural sound with high performance technology
All Bernafon hearing instruments feature trademark Dynamic Environment Control System TM (DECS), which uses multiple technologies to help you hear as clearly, naturally and comfortably as possible in any situation. These include Dynamic Noise Management TM, Dynamic Amplification Control TM, Dynamic Speech Processing TM and Dynamic Feedback Canceller TM.
A suite of sophisticated accessories and Bernafon’s Easy Control-A app will enhance your listening experience, helping you enjoy conversations and music, and make the most of precious moments with family and friends.
Bernafon Alpha XT - the perfect choice for musicians and music-lovers
For many people with hearing loss, listening to music can be difficult or dissatisfying. Alpha XT uses cutting-edge technology and signal processing to provide a natural sound experience – letting you immerse yourself in the joy of playing and listening to music once again.
With customised settings, multiple streaming capabilities and a unique Live Music Programme, you can personalise your Alpha XT hearing aids to give you the musical experience you’ve been waiting for.

You can enjoy direct-to-ear wireless streaming, take advantage of a range of intermediary accessories and download the EasyControl-A app to take charge of your Bernafon hearing aids on the move.
Wireless streaming
Bernafon hearing instruments are all Made for iPhone®, making it easy to connect to your iPhone®, iPad® or iPod® using powerful 2.4GHz Bluetooth® technology, with no need for an intermediary device.
With the use of the SoundClip-A you can use Bluetooth® to stream directly from other wired and wireless audio devices and the TV-A adaptor can direct sound from your TV straight to your hearing aids.
Stay in control
The Easy Control-A app offers a wealth of functionality, from simply changing the volume or programme settings on your hearing aids to locating them using the ‘Find my hearing aids’ feature. The app also connects to a variety of other Internet of Things (IoT) devices using the If This, Then That (IFTTT) online service.
