Hearing Aid Brands
Founded in Canada in 1964, Unitron has built a reputation for hearing aids designed around the wearer's experience and quality of life. Now part of the Sonova group, alongside Phonak, it combines Swiss precision with Canadian innovation to deliver technology that is both advanced and genuinely user-friendly, and its designs have earned numerous Red Dot awards.
Because Unitron shares platform engineering with Phonak, its devices benefit from mature, proven technology while emphasizing personalization, comfort, and natural sound. California Hearing Center is proud to offer Unitron at our San Mateo and San Carlos offices among several options.
Whether Unitron is right for you depends on your hearing loss, lifestyle, and budget, confirmed through testing and professional fitting with real-ear verification.
