The short answer
What Unitron does differently
Unitron is part of the same group as Phonak and runs on much of the same underlying technology, so the core sound performance is close to its better-known sibling, usually at a gentler price. For a lot of people, that is the whole appeal: very capable hearing aids without the premium-flagship cost.
Where Unitron really stands out is how it lets you choose. Its Flex:trial approach means you can wear the aids in your real life for a few weeks, across the situations that actually matter to you, before you decide which level of technology to buy. Rather than guessing up front, you and we review how you got on and settle on the level that genuinely helped, so you only pay for what you need. It is an unusually honest way to buy a hearing aid, and it suits people who want to be sure before they commit.

Unitron Smile Moxi and Moxi S-RX, the current platform
Smile is Unitron's current platform on Sonova's ERA chip, led by rechargeable Moxi receiver-in-canal forms including Moxi S-RX where supplied. Smile also extends into custom Insera options, so we check the exact form and features rather than using Smile as one catch-all model name.
Best for: People who want Unitron's newest sound processing in a rechargeable behind-the-ear fit.

Independent advice
When Unitron might not be the right brand
We will give it to you straight. Because Unitron sits as the value option in its group, if you want the very top-tier features, such as the dedicated speech-in-noise chip in Phonak's flagship Sphere, or that brand's full Roger microphone ecosystem at the highest level, its sibling Phonak is the one to look at. And if natural sound or built-in health features are your priority, Widex or Starkey may suit you better. Unitron is often exactly right when you want proven performance at a sensible price.

Unitron questions
Common questions about Unitron hearing aids
Are Unitron and Phonak the same?
Not the same, but closely related. They share a parent company and much of the same core technology, so the underlying sound performance is similar. Unitron generally comes in at a friendlier price, while Phonak's flagship adds top-tier extras like its dedicated speech-in-noise chip. We fit both, so we can match you to whichever makes sense.
What is Flex:trial?
It is a Unitron approach that lets you wear the aids in your real life for a few weeks, at a chosen technology level, before you commit to buying. You and we then review how you got on and settle on the level that genuinely helped, so you only pay for what you need. We will explain whether it suits your situation.
Are Unitron hearing aids good value?
Yes, that is much of their appeal. You get proven engineering shared with a better-known brand, usually at a more accessible price, which makes Unitron a sensible choice for people who do not need the very top tier.
How much do Unitron hearing aids cost?
Private aids are priced by the technology level you choose, so there is no single figure. We start with a free test and a no-obligation recommendation, then explain the options and prices clearly so the choice is yours.
Can you get Unitron hearing aids on the NHS?
The NHS fits from a limited list that does not usually include Unitron. Going private gives you the full range and a fitting built around you, and we will explain the difference honestly.
Is it Unitron or Unitrons?
It is Unitron. If you have seen it written differently, you are in the right place.
