XTREME for Kids

Size matters

Since children have smaller ear canal volumes, they receive higher amplification levels than adults when using the same instrument. This changes over time as the child grows. In addition, research has shown that children require different amplification targets than adults to achieve the best audibility and speech recognition, because they are acquiring language.

Visual confirmation with the Status Light 

XTREME 120 hearing instruments have a small status light on the back of the housing. The light can be programmed to remain steady while the instrument is operating or to blink only when programs are changed. This visual confirmation makes it very easy for parents and teachers to monitor the operation of the instrument at a quick glance.

Bigger isn’t always better

Super Power hearing instruments have traditionally been big and bulky. XTREME is one of the smallest Super Power instruments in the world, yet one of the most powerful. This is wonderful news for both adult and pediatric Super Power users. It’s true that good things come in small packages!

Built for extreme situations

Children experience life through action. That means they require hearing instruments that can stand up to a lot of wear and tear. XTREME instruments have a robust design with a solid housing to ensure reliable performance all day, every day. XTREME is built to take a beating!

Performance in the Classroom

FM technology broadcasts the teacher’s voice directly to the child’s hearing instrument to ensure maximum audibility with minimal impact from background noise, reverberation and distance. XTREME instruments are compatible with all popular wireless FM systems used in school classrooms.

A special FM shoe is available that securely attaches to the hearing instrument. The shoe has a standard 3-pin Europlug that accepts most brands of FM receivers. For further information about using XTREME with FM systems, please contact your Bernafon Sales Representative.

Kid style

Kids have their own sense of fashion, sometimes to the dismay of their parents! That’s why we offer XTREME in two child-friendly colors: Blue and Lilac. Of course, standard skin and hair colors are also available. In addition, colorful easy-to-remove stickers are supplied in the YoungStar kit, allowing kids to decorate their instruments to their own desires.
