There is no single best hearing aid brand. Each hearing aid company makes several brands and models, and the right one depends on your hearing test, your daily life and the follow-up care you get. We fit hearing aids from Oticon, Phonak, ReSound, Signia, Starkey, Widex, Unitron and Rexton. The list below shows each brand, and the table further down shows which company makes it.
Widex has been family-owned since 1956 and is known for very low processing latency and natural sound. Their current platform is Widex Allure. Worth knowing before you choose it: the Zen tinnitus programme is not available on Allure.
Widex hearing aids
Starkey Hearing Technologies was established back in 1964. They design all kinds of hearing aids, including ones that are receiver in canal, completely in canal, behind the ear, in the canal, and in the ear. Starkey announced its newest platform, Omega AI+, on October 1, 2026, and no independent lab has published results for it yet. The Omega AI platform before it earned a HearAdvisor grade of A and second place among the thirty-six prescription hearing aids tested. Starkey also offers the widest range of custom in-the-ear styles on this list.
Starkey hearing aids
Phonak's current line is the Audéo Infinio Ultra Sphere and the new Audéo EON, alongside the rechargeable custom Virto R Infinio, the titanium in-the-canal models and CROS Infinio. Infinio Ultra Sphere is one of the few platforms with substantial independent measurement behind it.
Phonak hearing aids
Lyric creates extended wear, nearly invisible hearing aids. Phonak describes the Lyric™ as fully invisible: it sits deep in the ear canal, is placed by a trained professional, and stays in for months at a time between visits.
Lyric hearing aids
Unitron makes straightforward hearing aids across receiver-in-canal and behind-the-ear styles. Ask us which of their current models we fit, and what they cost against the equivalent tier from the larger brands.
Signia's current flagship is MaX, released in August 2026, which runs four neural networks together. The wider Signia IX range covers custom, instant-fit, slim and CROS styles, and carries Notch Therapy and tinnitus signals as standard.
Signia & Siemens hearing aids
Rexton offers hearing aids and accessories to improve your quality of life. Their focus is on accessibility and personalization to make sure everyone in need of a hearing aid finds what they need.
Oticon's current platform is Oticon Reveal, with Oticon Intent still in the range. Reveal ships Bluetooth LE Audio, Auracast and a telecoil working from day one, and carries Tinnitus SoundSupport on all four technology levels.
Oticon hearing aids
ReSound has been making hearing aids since 1943 and has a long track record on wireless connectivity. Their current platforms are Vivia and Sensia, with a wide style range including bimodal and CROS fittings.
Resound hearing aids
CaptionCall makes a transcript of phone conversations so you can see what the other person is saying. This is a real-time solution for those with hearing loss who have trouble using a phone.
