Hi, a friend of mine has just got a set of new from the local Amplifon audiology clinic.
I know Amplifon buys in HAs from other manufacturers and rebrands them.
The hame of the HA is “Ampli-energy R 5”
Does anyone know what original HA make & model were used to be rebranded as the Ampli-energy R 5?
Thanks

Medical Device AMP ENERGY R 5 8C RD - AMPLI ENERGY R 5 8C R-D (medicaldevices24.com)139 Says it’s made by Sivantos

Sivantos Group - Home - Sivantos23
Says Sivantos was bought by Widex 2019

That model was released at that time. Looks like aan Evoke 440 since it has a rechargeble battery and Widex didn’t make any others at that time,
Of course I only Googled that info and with less than 5 minutes of research I could well be wrong.

I had a patient walk with ampli models so I have investigated this recently

Turns out there are a number of different ampli energy hearing aids, it’s Amplifons category of rechargeable Ric/rite hearing aids that could come from Phonak, Signia, resound or Oticon.

You need the full model name or at least share a photo to know which brand it is.

Hi, my friend sent me the following photo of his amplifon . They are rechargeable and he bought an iPhone so he can receive phone calls on them and use the amplifon app to control them.

The tip-off is GN Hearing printed on the aid. It’s a ReSound aid, and looks like a ReSound One the way the receiver connects to the aid.

Being an Ampli-Energy R5 I’d guess the R is rechargeable and the 5 is the tech level. ReSound has three levels usually, 5, 7, and 9, with 5 being the lowest level.

I’d be curious how much these cost, and what the price includes.

In the Amplifon system, 5 is actually the highest tech level, so these would be equivalent to their 9 series Resound One

Thanks for the information. My friend tells me he bought the top level rechargeable from his local amplifon audiologist so Resound One level 9 model seems to be the appropriate one.
