By launching Sona, the Sonova Group is introducing a novel business 
      concept combining a specialized product portfolio with easy fitting and 
      simplified logistic processes, which are unique in the industry. The new 
      brand broadens the portfolio of the established hearing solutions of 
      Phonak and Unitron and is aimed at the market segment for 
      mild-to-moderate hearing loss. It features mainly the integrated service 
      concept providing audiologists with new opportunities to make their 
      hearing solutions more accessible to consumers.
    
“Consumers benefit from the immediate availability of tailored hearing 
      solutions and straightforward access to their first experience of 
      improved hearing – a key factor in successful fitting and in the 
      subsequent decision to buy.”
    
      “With Sona products, we are offering hearing specialists optimized and 
      simplified online ordering and storage processes that are unique within 
      our industry,” said Valentin Chapero, CEO of the Sonova Group.

      Two types of products are available under the new brand: “Sona:vogue 
      micro” is a high-tech device worn behind the ear and “Sona:vogue intro” 
      is the corresponding in-the-ear solution. Both product types are 
      available in three different price/performance categories.
    
    
      Following its successful roll-out onto the Belgian market, Sona will now 
      be launched progressively in selected European countries and in the US.
