Phonak hearing aids compared
Phonak (part of Sonova) is best known for custom, in-the-ear aids that hide inside the canal, plus the affordable Terra RIC as a first Bluetooth pair. The Virto custom range steps up in tiers — P30 essential, P50 standard, P70 advanced, P90 premium — with the newest I90 chip in a tiny CIC shell. One honest point most sellers skip: the Virto “NW O” models are non-wireless, so they trade phone streaming for a smaller, more discreet shell. Below is the whole range on this list side by side; your audiogram, not the price, decides which is right.

*MRP is the manufacturer's reference price. At Prudent you pay up to 30–50% below MRP, hearing aids are GST-exempt in India, and 0% EMI is available — your exact price is confirmed after a free hearing test. A hearing aid manages hearing loss, it does not cure it, so the model is chosen from your audiogram, not from this table alone.

All comparisonsFrequently asked questions
Which Phonak hearing aid is the most invisible?
The custom Virto range, and especially the Virto I90 in a CIC (completely-in-canal) shell, sits deepest in the ear and is the hardest to see. It is custom-moulded to your ear from an impression. The trade-off is that the smallest NW O shells are non-wireless, so they do not stream from your phone.
Do all Phonak hearing aids connect to a phone?
No. The Phonak Terra RIC and the wireless Virto tiers (P70, P90) support Bluetooth. The Virto “NW O” custom models (P30, P50 and the I90-10 CIC on this list) are non-wireless by design — they trade streaming for a smaller, more discreet shell. We will tell you plainly which build you are choosing.
What is the cheapest Phonak hearing aid at Prudent?
On this list the Phonak Terra RIC has the lowest MRP (around ₹33,000), which makes it the usual budget entry into Phonak. Your actual price is up to 30–50% below MRP and confirmed at your appointment.
How much cheaper than MRP will I actually pay?
Prudent sells genuine Phonak up to 30–50% below the MRPs shown here. Hearing aids are GST-exempt in India and 0% EMI is available. We give you the exact figure after your free hearing test, once we know which model and tier truly suit your hearing.
