I have a remote with my Phonak Behind-The-Ear hearing aids. When on an airplane I can click on the remote that lowers the background noise of the noisy aircraft. I hear the person sitting next to me and the Steward asking what I want to drink. These Phonak behind-the-ear hearing aids are 20 years old and I still love them. I wear a hearing aid in each ear. They can be repaired if needed.
