Phonak Sky: Hearing Aids Designed for the Way Children Hear, Learn, and Grow

One of the most common questions parents ask us is: “What kind of hearing aid is best for my child?”

The truth is, children don’t just need a smaller version of adult hearing aids. They need hearing aids designed specifically for kids — made for how they listen, learn, play, and move through the world.

Phonak Sky was built from the ground up for children. Every feature — from sound processing to durability and colors — serves one purpose:

To give children clear, consistent access to sound so they can learn, communicate, and grow confidently.

1. Children Hear Differently — So Their Hearing Aids Should Too

Adults use hearing aids mainly to communicate. Children use them to develop speech, build language, and understand the world.

Access to the Sounds That Build Language

Kids rely on soft sounds, distant speech, and tiny details in conversation. Sky helps make these important sounds clearer and easier to hear.

Automatically Adapts as Kids Move Through Their Day

Children switch environments constantly — one minute in a quiet classroom, the next in a loud playground. Sky automatically adjusts so speech stays clear without kids pushing buttons.

Comfort for All-Day Wear

For hearing and speech development to thrive, kids need to wear their hearing aids for many hours a day. Sky is lightweight, safe, and comfortable enough for full-day use.

2. Built for Real Childhood — Not Ideal Conditions

Kids run, jump, fall, splash, and live life loudly and energetically. Their hearing aids need to keep up.

• Water-resistant
• Dust-resistant
• Impact-resistant
• Tamperproof options for babies and toddlers

This isn’t a scaled-down adult device. It’s a hearing aid that understands real childhood.

3. Ready for Today’s Learning Environment

Kids learn through tablets, laptops, online classes, and interactive apps. Sky connects to all of these effortlessly.

It also works beautifully with the Roger™ microphone system, giving children clearer access to their teacher’s voice — even in noisy or large classrooms.

4. Fits a Wide Range of Hearing Loss — Available in BTE & RIC

Sky can support mild to profound hearing loss and comes in two child-friendly styles:

• BTE (Behind-The-Ear) — durable and ideal for all ages
• RIC (Receiver-In-Canal) — smaller and stylish, often preferred by older kids and teens

Kids also love choosing their favorite colors — bright, fun, and confidence-boosting.

5. myPhonak Junior — Built for Kids, Teens, and the Parents Who Support Them

Every child’s hearing journey is unique, and so are their needs. That’s why the myPhonak Junior app was created — a dedicated hearing aid app designed for young children, their parents or caregivers, and adolescents aged 10+.

This app supports children during the most important years of their development, helping them stay connected, build healthy hearing habits, and feel confident managing their hearing aids. For parents, it offers clarity, guidance, and peace of mind.

8. A Message for Parents: You’re Not Alone

Many kids with hearing loss go on to develop speech and language skills similar to their peers.
