It appears that the new rechargeable runs on Silver Zinc rechargeable batteries and a similar charger to their Moxi. It also looks like they have made sure there is an auto on feature when you take the hearing aids out of the charger. Something that many users will welcome. The system that Unitron picked is a pretty good all round rechargeable system. It offers some pretty serious running time and also the benefit of being able to shove disposable batteries in when you forget to charge. 
The NEW platform from Unitron, North™, brings patients closer to natural hearing and addresses their number-one desire: understanding conversations in a wide range of situations
The North Platform From Unitron
Unitron has recently launched the North™ platform, its newest ground-breaking sound processing platform that can distinguish between different types of conversation. North’s SoundNav™ technology automatically identifies and classifies seven distinct sound environments. Four of them are focused specifically on conversation.
Clear Conversation in Every Situation
Conversations don’t just occur in quiet situations nor in simple noise. Background noise varies greatly depending on whether the listener is in small groups, at large events, in the car or on the street. The technologies in the new platform work together in harmony so that users experience the best speech understanding along with natural sound quality, in the widest variety of situations automatically.
New Hearing Instrument Design
Along with the launch of the North platform, Unitron has announced it is introducing a new generation of its popular receiver-in-canal (RIC) Moxi™ hearing instruments. The all-new Moxi Fit™ continues the design principles used to deliver the Moxi design. It has a fluid new look, giving users the perfect combination of style and functionality with a 312 battery, push button and telecoil. Moxi Fit joins Moxi Kiss™ and Moxi Dura™, all available in five technology levels and all built on the North platform.
The new Moxi hearing instruments on the North platform are fully integrated with Unitron’s industry-leading Flex:trial™ program, which allows us to demonstrate to patients exactly what they are interested in buying.
New Logging Feature
They have also introduced Log It All™, an industry first data logging feature that captures and displays a user’s real life experiences with their hearing instruments across seven environments regardless of the technology level of the hearing aid. This gives us the ability to measure the performance of your hearing instruments in everyday use, as well as during trial and upgrade situations. It helps us explain the benefits of different technology levels in a personal way. It also allows us to deliver fine tuning in a more focused way.
Unitron North Pro
The Unitron North Pro is the flagship technology using the new "North" processor. As the flagship hearing aid from Unitron it is ideally suited to people who need to hear as well as possible in even the most challenging environments. The pro level of technology is available in both Moxi RIC (Receiver in Canal) devices and traditional BTE (Behind The Ear) and Custom devices (ITE) they have called Stride.
Clear Conversation in Every Situation
Unitron know that conversations don’t just occur in quiet situations nor in just simple noise. The problem with background noise is that it varies greatly depending on the situation. The features in the new hearing aids work together so that you can experience the best speech understanding combined with natural sound quality, in the widest variety of situations, completely automatically.
Log It All
Unitron have also introduced Log It All™, an industry first data logging feature that captures and displays a your real life experiences with your hearing instruments across seven differing environments regardless of the technology level of the hearing aid.
This gives us the ability to measure the performance of your hearing instruments in everyday use, as well as during any trial or upgrade situations. It helps us explain the benefits of different technology levels in a personal way. Most importantly, it allows us to deliver fine tuning of the hearing aids for you in a more focused way.
Unitron Stride Pro, A Hearing Device To Suit Every Taste
The new Stride family of behind-the-ear (BTE) and in-the-ear (ITE) styles has style choices to satisfy every need, and features that let you focus on conversations like never before. Stride is the name of the new full range family of hearing aids from Unitron, the family has a full range of Behind The Ear (BTE) and In The Ear hearing (ITE) aid styles.
The technology in the Stride family is based on the new North platform, Unitron haven't settled on just introducing a new platform. New advances in custom hearing aid design has allowed them to introduce even smaller custom hearing aids that are packed with more features. So let's look at the top end of hearing aid technology available from Unitron.
Unitron Stride & Moxi Dura/Fit/Kiss Hearing Aids
New Hearing Instrument Design
Along with the launch of the North platform, Unitron also introduced a new geneneration of its popular receiver-in-canal (RIC) Moxi™ hearing instruments. The all-new Moxi Fit™ has a fluid new look, giving users the perfect combination of style and functionality with a 312 battery, push button and telecoil. Moxi Fit joins Moxi Kiss™ and Moxi Dura™, all available in five technology levels and all built on the North platform.
The new Moxi hearing instruments on the North platform are fully integrated with Unitron’s industry-leading Flex:trial™ program, which allows us to demonstrate to patients exactly what they are interested in buying.
As we said, the Moxi RIC hearing aids comes in three distinct styles.
- Moxi Fit The "Fit" is only slightly larger than the Kiss, it includes both a push button and onboard telecoil which isn't often available on smaller RIC aids.
- Moxi Kiss The "Kiss" is the slimmest and most discrete of the RIC options from UNitron, it is an exceptionally discreet option if you are not interested in the extra features which add size to the Moxi Fit and Moxi Dura.
- Moxi Dura The "Dura" is the most powerful of the three RIC devices available, it is slightly larger to provide the amplification needed. If you are looking for a discreet Moxi solution but have a severe to profound hearing loss then this is the device for you.
The Stride hearing aids come in two BTE versions, and six custom ITE hearing aid types.
- Stride P The new wireless 13 battery BTE pairs stylish design with dual controls

Dust and water? Unitron hearing instruments can take it
Unitron hearing instruments pass IP ratings. The IP test is a third-party standardized protocol used to demonstrate the durability of a hearing instrument when exposed to dust and water. All of the Unitron BTE and RIC products have undergone and passed this rigorous IP testing.
Moxi² Dura and Quantum² S are rated IP67
These ratings give your patients the peace of mind that their Unitron hearing instruments will continue to perform as expected even when exposed to harsh elements. It is important to note that IP57 denotes water resistant - not waterproof. Hearing instruments should never be worn in the shower or swimming, however, this rating means that an accidental drop into the sink, getting caught in a rainstorm, or stepping into the shower for a moment with them on will not be detrimental to performance once the devices are thoroughly dried out.
