In 2026 the standout performers are the **Phonak Naída, Signia Motion SP IX, ReSound Enzo, Widex Moment SP and Bernafon Leox** power families. ## Key takeaways - Severe-to-profound loss needs **power BTE** hearing aids — small invisible styles cannot deliver enough output. - Look for high gain/output, strong **feedback cancellation**, and a custom earmould for a secure, leak-free fit. - Top families: Phonak Naída, Signia Motion SP IX, ReSound Enzo, Widex Moment SP, Bernafon Leox. - Realistic expectations and expert programming matter as much as the device itself. What counts as severe to profound loss?Hearing loss is graded by the quietest sounds you can hear, measured in decibels (dB HL). **Severe** loss is roughly 71–90 dB HL and **profound** loss is 91 dB HL or greater. At these levels you may miss most conversation without aids and rely heavily on volume and visual cues. A [professional hearing test](/book-a-test) confirms your exact levels and the power you need.

They are usually paired with a **custom earmould** that seals the ear canal — essential for both power and comfort. Tiny invisible aids simply cannot produce enough output for these losses. What results to expectWell-fitted power aids can restore a great deal of speech understanding, but expectations should be realistic: outcomes depend on how long the loss has been present and on the health of the hearing nerve. Expert, evidence-based programming — and follow-up fine-tuning — is what turns raw power into real-world clarity. In some profound cases, a **cochlear implant** may be discussed; our team can advise and refer where appropriate.
