This festive season is set to kick off with a bang with the launch of the new Phonak Charge & Care, a specialized, smart, easy-to-use piece of kit suitable for the entire Audéo range (from Marvel to Paradise) which allows you to not only charge your hearing aids on-the-go but can also clean and dry them – all at the touch of a button!
Not only does the Charge & Care combine these two features, but it also includes a bevy of extras to make life that little bit easier. Inside one can find some nifty ultraviolet light technology which is used to treat your hearing aids once inside, disinfecting and cleaning them.
Cleaning in this way with UV light is called Ultraviolet germicidal irradiation (UVGI) and it’s a particularly effective sanitation method and a real game-changer in the time of COVID-19. So, how does it work?
Ultraviolet Germicidal Irradiation
UVGI employs short-wavelength ultraviolet light which when passed over a surface destroys nucleic acids and disrupts DNA in micro-organisms, preventing their ability to perform vital cell functions and therefore making them unable to reproduce, which in turn means they quickly die off. This is particularly effective against viruses and bacteria and is a fantastic way to keep your devices hygienic and sanitized.
Sound too complicated? Well, it’s not, really: if you’ve ever been on holiday (outside the UK most likely!) you may at some point have become sunburnt if you’ve stayed outside too long. The reason for the sunburn is that the sun’s ultraviolet light burns away the top layer of skin cells. This is exactly the same as the way in which UVGI works, albeit on a much grander scale.
The Audéo Range
If you’re unfamiliar with Phonak’s compatible Audéo range, then you’d be wise to get acquainted! Their flagship model, the Paradise, boasts an incredible range of features and is available through our sister company Hear4U.

What this means is that you can enjoy crystal-clear hearing for longer than ever, and, when combined with the Charge & Care, you never have to worry about battery life again!
