Looking for Phonak 332 XAZ

I checked on this Phonak discontinued them 7 or 8 years ago and no one in my company has any of them good luck.

I appreciate your looking. Yes, I’ve known they’ve been discontinued, but I still hope to find some and expect they’ll probably be used. I wonder if any dispensers might have had patients who used them and have since gone digital, and maybe I could arrange to purchase their redundant previously owned units.

Do you think it might be possible to advertise in a trade magazine/industry publication? I’m determined to acquire a stockpile of these devices, NOS or used.

Some people just don’t like/do well with the digital hearign aids. Especially if the hearing loss is severe to profound. However there are other analog aids available that should do just as well as that one if you can’t find anymore of that exact same model.

that’s the rub, I can’t find anybody who will sell anything but digital. Everybody and their brother thinks digital is automatically better than analog. I really wanted it to work, but it just doesn’t work for me.

It has gotten to the point that I’d wear a body pack with wires to the ear transducers, if it meant a good analog audio signal.

What other analog devices are out there? I need a significant amount of power, hence the 332.

Hi there
I’m in the same predicament as you. I have been wearing ananlogue hearing aids for 39 years and can not get replacement superfront pp-c2-d phonak hearing aids. And…yes I love music too - I play the piano and the flute and digital is terrible with music - why is it that no-one takes any notice of us and just tells us to keep trying digital hearing aids when ananlogue were perfect…and they tell us to train our brains to these terrible distorted noises that we hear when listening to music? I really want to get a campaign going so that people from all over the world can be given a choice of analogue or digital. Sorry I don’t have an answer for you- I’ve been trying all sorts of hearing aids fot the last 4 years! Perhaps someone would be kind enough to help us out there?

Kind regards Julia

so far, the only places I’ve found anything that might resemble the phonak 332 XAZ are in Hungary. Anybody know hungarian?

dan have you try mexico?, costa rica or any of the caribean countries?

I found about 8 or 9 places in Mexico/SA that are Phonak distributors, but none of their sites had any matches for 332 XAZ. So far, the only sites with matches have been hungarian.

Hello, sorry, I hadn’t been checking my forums lately, and didn’t see this.

Hi Dan,
How are the Unitron Breezes going, particularly with your music?
I have still been watching out for Sonofortes for you, also.

I could be out-of-date but the last time I had to find a pure analog circuit for a client the only product I could find was the Unitron US80 (PP and PPL as well). They may still have these in stock.

Hi analog searchers. I know that there is a manufacturer out of new orleans that still manufactures analog instruments. Their name is General Hearing. Be aware though that there are several types of analog circuits and not all are created equal, Although i don’t have a ton of experience with their products but I know them more on a personal basis and they seem like great people and have been in business for a long time.

If you have old broken analog aids and the professional you’ve chosen to work with doesn’t want to repair them then you may want to seek a different professional. There is no reason an analog can;t be repaired. I have sent several in for patients this year already.
