With the wide variety of manufacturers and models, finding the hearing aid that's best for you isn't easy. It depends to a large extent on your individual needs. Taking into account the price-performance ratio and technical features, we have rated the best hearing aids and put together a ranking of high-class hearing systems. In the following article, we present our test winners.
1. Phonak Audeo Paradise
The overall winner of our test is the Phonak Audeo Paradise. It is a behind-the-ear device and suitable for mild to severe hearing loss. It features Bluetooth and can be paired with up to eight devices. Through an accelerometer, the device detects your movement and adjusts microphones and noise suppression accordingly – this function is, however, only available on the rechargeable version. In quieter environments, the Speech Enhancer comes into play: it amplifies the peaks of quiet speech and thus enables clearer speech perception. The Phonak Audeo Paradise also performs best in customer ratings.
MyPhonak App
Thanks to the MyPhonak app, you have a real-time remote control for your hearing care, with support for live video chat with our audiologist, access to battery status and wearing time, a hearing diary and other individual program settings. The app also includes a slider to reduce loud sounds or amplify quiet ones.
Premium quality – the Phonak Audeo Paradise, starting from USD 880.

2. Oticon More
The Oticon More is a discreet behind-the-ear hearing aid with a special BrainHearing technology. Thanks to the Polaris microchip, it provides the brain with better and more natural access to sounds in its environment. It is also rechargeable. It features Bluetooth and what is called Deep Neural Network technology, which offers a detailed and clear perception of every sound. Depending on the hearing characteristics of the wearer, the More Sound Intelligence distinguishes difficult from easy listening situations. The findings of intensive research into how hearing is processed in the brain result in the Oticon More impressing with stunning sound and optimal 360-degree orientation.
The Oticon More – starting from USD 1490.–
3. Signia Styletto X
With its unique and multi-award-winning design, this model already impresses visually, but technically the Signia Styletto X also has plenty to offer. Up to 19 hours of battery life are extended by up to another four days via a mobile charging case. It contains special therapy functions against tinnitus as well as the Signia Assistant for individual sound adjustment. Bluetooth lets you control calls or music. Through an integrated acoustic motion sensor, the device detects your environment and what you are doing, enabling it to focus both on your conversation and on making ambient sounds audible.

4. Resound One
The ReSound ONE stands for natural hearing. Thanks to refined technology, the Resound ONE provides exceptionally clear hearing of the sounds in your environment. It also features an additional receiver placed in the ear, which adapts the sound to the wearer's ear shape in the best possible way. Wind noise is neutralized through Wind Guard, and this device also has a tinnitus function. Bluetooth is part of the equipment as well, allowing your device to be paired with your smartphone or TV. It adapts to your situation automatically, supports remote fitting, and impresses with up to 30 hours of wearing time. The Ultra Focus function also makes it easier to spend time in places where you are exposed to particularly loud noise.

5. Signia Silk X
The Signia Silk X is one of the smallest hearing aids in existence. Thanks to the highly advanced Signia Xperience chip platform, you can hear what matters to you even in busy environments. The Signia Silk X is equipped with flexible Soft Silicone Click Sleeves that simply click onto the hearing aids and provide a high level of wearing comfort. You can also control your hearing aid yourself – via the app or with the small miniPocket remote control. Our audiologist can also easily fit the Signia Silk X from a distance via remote fitting, which means a pure online purchase is possible for you. With flexible standard earpieces, the Signia Silk X gives you a high level of wearing comfort as well as a secure fit in the ear. Until now, only custom-made in-the-ear devices were able to offer this.
The almost invisible Signia Silk X – starting from USD 1090.–
Our test has shown that even affordable hearing aids are by no means inferior to the more expensive models, and that across different manufacturers there is a suitable solution for every wearer. Please note that, in addition to technical details and aesthetic preferences, your degree of hearing loss is also decisive for choosing the right product. We are happy to advise you in selecting the right hearing aid for you.
