Sound for Life fits hearing aids from three international brands: Phonak, ReSound and Signia. All three make a full range of styles, from behind-the-ear models to small in-canal devices, with rechargeable and Bluetooth options in many ranges.
This page gives a short, neutral introduction to each brand. It does not rank them. Each brand has many models and technology levels, and the right choice depends on your hearing test and your needs, not on the name alone.

A short overview of each brand, listed in alphabetical order. Open a brand page to read more about its range at Sound for Life.
Phonak is a hearing aid brand from Switzerland. It belongs to the Sonova group, a hearing care company.
Phonak makes behind-the-ear, receiver-in-canal and custom in-ear hearing aids. Many ranges include rechargeable models and models that connect to phones by Bluetooth. Phonak also makes accessories for TV and phone use with some of its hearing aids.
ReSound is a hearing aid brand from GN, a company based in Denmark.
ReSound makes receiver-in-canal, behind-the-ear and custom in-ear hearing aids. Many ranges include rechargeable and Bluetooth models, and many models can be adjusted through a phone app.
Signia is the hearing aid brand that followed Siemens hearing aids, so many people in India still know it by the Siemens name. Signia hearing aids are made by WS Audiology.
Signia makes behind-the-ear, receiver-in-canal and custom in-ear hearing aids, including some small rechargeable in-ear designs. Many models work with a phone app for volume and program changes.
Phonak, ReSound and Signia each make hearing aids for many levels of hearing loss, in several styles and technology levels. Within one brand, a basic model and an advanced model can feel quite different, so the model matters as much as the brand.
If you are still deciding on a style, read our guide to the types of hearing aids. If charging and phone streaming matter to you, see rechargeable and Bluetooth hearing aids.
Most people do not need to start with a brand. A better starting point is your hearing test. Once we know your hearing levels, we can show you suitable styles and technology levels across brands and explain the differences in plain language.
