Phonak Audeo Q30

The Audeo Q30 was launched in 2013 and is the basic level of technology in the Quest RIC (Receiver in Canal) range available from Phonak. The Audeo Quest is available in four technology levels with the Q30 being the lowest in the range. The Audeo Q30 range has been replaced by the Audeo V30 which you can read about here.  You can take a look at the full range of Phonak hearing aids here

This hearing aid comes in three different RIC styles.

The Audeo Q-312 is the smallest, most discreet of the Audeo Q's and is wireless compatible

The Audeo Q-312T is also wireless compatible and has an added Telecoil feature

The Audeo Q30 is available in several colours ranging from neutral tones to more vibrant shades

Although it is a more basic hearing aid, the Audeo Q30 still contains Phonak's new Quest platform technology which is the replacement for their previous Spice chip platform. This new technology means faster sound processing and even better sound quality than the Audeo S1 as well as improved features
