Phonak Sky Q Because a child is not a small adult
A child is not a small adult. It sounds obvious, but in reality it’s a
profound insight - one that guides practically everything we do
when we develop solutions for children.
For example, you wouldn’t give a newborn baby a steak to eat. Just like you wouldn’t give a toddler adult medicine,
or ask a 13-year-old to drive you to work. Whatever a child’s age, we treat them appropriately. This is especially
important for children with hearing loss. From their initial testing and diagnosis through to hearing aid selection,
verification, counseling and support, their needs are very different from those of adults. Crucially, these young
listeners don’t have the foundation of language that adults do. So, they need the most consistent access possible to
the sounds of life to build that foundation.
At Phonak we have served children around the world for over 40 years, working alongside the world’s leading
paediatric specialists and taking onboard the considered advice of our Paediatric Advisory Board. The result of this
knowledge is a new dedicated portfolio of paediatric solutions. One that is designed to meet children’s specific
needs - ensuring their access to speech and language is continually optimised.

Our new paediatric portfolio includes the
Phonak Sky Q hearing aid family
and our expanded range of wireless
accessories. Because products alone are
not enough, we have refreshed our fitting
software’s Junior mode, with special
emphasis on verification. Plus we have
enriched the support resources for you,
children and their parents. In short,
we have everything you need to treat a
child like a child.

Phonak Sky Q portfolio
Phonak Sky Q
Phonak Sky Q is our new dedicated family of paediatric hearing aids. With a choice of three different models, there
is a Phonak Sky Q model to fit every child.
All Phonak Sky Q models are resistant to water, sweat and dust (IP67), making them the perfect companions for
active explorers. Effective tamperproofing ensures tiny fingers cannot access any batteries, and our new engaging
range of Mix & Match colors ensures children will have technology they’ll love to wear.
Driven by the processing power of Phonak Quest technology, Phonak Sky Q features SoundRecover, the proprietary
non-linear frequency compression algorithm. Supported by extensive research, it has been shown to provide
maximum access to high-frequency speech sounds - essential for children developing their speech and language.
With audibility optimised, the next challenge is hearing in noise. And while the optimal speech-in-noise performer
is wireless microphone technology, children often still listen in noise with just their hearing aids. This is where
Binaural VoiceStream Technology™ delivers. With features such as DuoPhone and ZoomControl, it enables improved
hearing in a broad range of difficult listening situations.

Hearing in colour
When it comes to bringing a smile to a child’s face, there’s nothing quite like colour.
A host of studies proves that kids of all ages are excited and delighted by bright, intense tones. In fact, children
seem to prefer these happy hues early on, since a baby’s eyesight is better able to recognise bright colours than
dimmer, more understated tones.1
It’s with that knowledge in mind that we designed our new family of Phonak Sky Q hearing aids.
Phonak Sky Q housings are available in no less than 17 colors. These include many new joyful housing and ear hook
colors, ranging from Caribbean Pirate through fiery Dragon Orange to Vanity Pink, as well as subtle hair and skin tones.

13Phonak Wireless Communication Portfolio
A child’s life is one of action. If they’re not in school then they’re outdoors, playing games, enjoying multimedia, in the car,
or chatting with friends on the phone.
Many of these situations can pose a listening challenge - where sometimes, even the most advanced hearing aid technology
needs a boost. That’s where our comprehensive Phonak Wireless Communication Portfolio comes in.

Thanks to its built-in Bluetooth, the Phonak ComPilot can
be easily connected to a huge range of devices such as
mobile phones, smartphones, tablets, MP3 players and
more. It also includes a remote control, for changing a
hearing aid’s program and volume, and VoiceAlerts for
easier hearing aid interaction.
21Phonak Target™ Junior mode
Whether you are fitting a child with his or her first pair of hearing aids or providing technology to an experienced
user, it’s crucial that these devices are configured to suit the child’s age, hearing loss and communication needs.
This is why, in 2006, we pioneered a dedicated paediatric mode in our fitting software.
This continually updated, evidence-based resource streamlines the process of configuring a child’s hearing aids -
helping you to fit and verify your Phonak paediatric fitting using the very latest industry guidelines and research
findings.
22Fitting software
New in Junior mode
Refined age ranges
Junior mode now spans four age ranges: 0-3, 4-8, 9-12 and 13-18 years. This finer differentiation for older children
allows you to more accurately address their needs. The defaults for these new age groups are based on available
evidence and the input of the Phonak Paediatric Advisory Board.
Expanded defaults
Junior mode’s DSL defaults have now been updated to address the usage of Binaural VoiceStream Technology™
features, such as DuoPhone, StereoZoom, and ZoomControl. It is also now possible to upgrade Junior mode with
National Acoustics Laboratory (NAL) paediatric fitting defaults. So whichever fitting philosophy you follow, Junior
mode supports it.
New Verification Assistant
Since younger children cannot always provide useful feedback on what they hear, objective verification is an
indispensable way of confirming that their hearing aids are programmed correctly. This four-step software assistant
can be run alongside a test box or real ear verification system. It includes handy visual reminders of the transducer
being used, the vent size, and a quick view of the RECD values being applied.
New Toolbox
This helpful new resource - located in the Phonak Target™ Help menu - includes the very latest paediatric fitting
information to bolster your knowledge and ensure fittings go as planned. The Toolbox features current fitting
protocols, additional tools such as our frequency-compression protocol, and full details of the rationale behind
Junior mode’s DSL and NAL fitting defaults.

Ling 6 Test
A common measure used to assess a child’s access to speech sounds across the speech frequency range is the
group of Ling 6 sounds: (/m/, /u/, /a/, /i/, /∫/, and /s/). The UWO Ling 6 (HL) test, licensed by Phonak, was developed in
a calibrated format to test a client’s detection of these sounds in aided and unaided conditions.
Call your local Phonak Regional Sales Manager for further information.
UWO Plurals Test
The University of Western Ontario’s Plurals Test, licensed by Phonak, assesses a child’s high-frequency consonant
detection – in particular word-ending plurals such as /s/. Use it to compare a child’s speech perception with
different hearing solutions, compare hearing aid features (i.e., with and without SoundRecover), and to measure a
child’s performance over time.
