With its advanced hearing platforms—particularly the acclaimed Vivante platform—Canadian hearing care innovator Unitron continues to deliver natural, intelligent hearing experiences. Within its powerful Stride family of Behind-the-Ear (BTE) hearing aids, the Stride V3-PR represents an enhanced entry-level solution that combines robust amplification, intelligent automatic sound processing, rechargeable convenience, and outstanding value.
1. Smarter Automatic Sound Processing with V3 Technology
The primary advantage of the Stride V3-PR over entry-level models such as the V1 is its enhanced Integra OS operating system. At the V3 technology level, the hearing aid automatically recognizes, analyzes, and adapts to a wider variety of listening environments throughout the day.
Equipped with advanced independent fitting channels, the Stride V3-PR enables hearing care professionals to accurately program the device for patients with moderate, severe, and profound hearing loss. Beyond optimizing performance in quiet settings, the V3 platform also delivers improved speech enhancement in environments with mild background noise. As a result, users can enjoy clearer conversations during family gatherings, in controlled workplace environments, or while watching television—without manually changing programs or adjusting settings.
2. Flex:UPGRADE—Technology That Grows with You
One of the biggest concerns when investing in hearing aids is whether today’s technology will continue to meet future hearing needs. Unitron addresses this challenge with its exclusive Flex:UPGRADE ecosystem.
The Stride V3-PR is fully upgradeable through software. If a user’s listening demands increase over time—for example, due to a more active professional or social lifestyle—a hearing care professional can upgrade the hearing aid to higher technology levels such as V5, V7, or V9 without replacing the device. This unique capability protects the user’s investment while providing clinics with exceptional flexibility in long-term hearing care.
3. PR Design: Powerful, Rechargeable, and Built to Last
The “PR” (Power Rechargeable) designation reflects the hearing aid’s two defining hardware features.
Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery
The integrated lithium-ion battery eliminates the need for disposable batteries. A single overnight charge delivers reliable all-day performance, including hours of Bluetooth audio streaming and hands-free phone calls.
Powerful BTE Design with Exceptional Durability
The Stride V3-PR is specifically engineered to provide high output for individuals with greater amplification requirements. To ensure long-term reliability, the hearing aid features advanced nano-coating protection and an IP68rating for outstanding resistance to moisture, sweat, water, and dust.
4. Universal Wireless Connectivity with Made For All (MFA)
The Stride V3-PR supports Unitron’s Made For All (MFA) Bluetooth technology, allowing direct wireless connectivity with Android smartphones, iPhones, laptops, and compatible Bluetooth-enabled televisions—without requiring external streaming accessories.
Users can simultaneously pair the hearing aid with two active Bluetooth devices, stream high-quality stereo audio, and enjoy compatible hands-free phone calls directly through their hearing aids. These advanced wireless capabilities provide greater convenience, independence, and seamless connectivity for today’s active lifestyles.
