Stanford Hearing is your premier destination for top-rated hearing aids in Sioux Falls, Buffalo, and Madison. In fact, we are dedicated to providing the best hearing aids and expert care to enhance your hearing experience. In collaboration with leading global brand Unitron, we are thrilled to offer the cutting-edge technology of their affordable hearing aids.
Why Choose Unitron hearing aids?
Unitron hearing aids offer something genuinely useful for patients weighing their options: premium hearing technology from one of the world's most respected manufacturers, at a price point that's easier to reach. Unitron is part of the Sonova Group (the same parent company behind Phonak) which means their devices are built on the same world-class research and engineering platform. We carry the Unitron Smile and Vivante at Stanford Hearing, giving us strong options for patients who want sophisticated, reliable hearing technology without paying flagship prices. Here's what our audiologists in Sioux Falls think sets Unitron apart and how each platform fits a different kind of listener.
Built for Comfort
Unitron hearing aids are built to disappear into your day. The Moxi S-R on the Smile platform is a slim, discreet receiver-in-canal design that sits comfortably behind the ear. It wears easily alongside glasses, masks, or earbuds. The Insera S-R, added in January 2026, brings the full Smile platform into a custom in-the-ear design for patients who prefer an even more discreet fit. Across both the Smile and Vivante platforms, drop-in rechargeable charging means no fumbling with small batteries. Place your hearing aids in the charger and they are ready for tomorrow.
Vast Connective Capabilities
The advantages of Bluetooth hearing aids are well-known. Unitron Bluetooth hearing aids connect to both iOS and Android devices with no workarounds needed. The Smile platform delivers up to six times more Bluetooth transmission power than previous Unitron generations, for a more reliable connection over a wider range. Stream phone calls, music, TV, and podcasts directly to both hearing aids simultaneously. The Remote Plus app gives you full control from your smartphone. Adjust volume, switch programs, and access the Coach feature for personalized tips that help you get the most from your devices over time.

Our Current Unitron Hearing Aid Platforms
We carry two current Unitron platforms at Stanford Hearing. Each is built on Sonova's engineering foundation and comes with FLEX:TRIAL so you can find the right technology level before you buy.
Unitron Smile — Moxi S-R
The Smile is Unitron's most advanced platform, launched in May 2025. The Moxi S-R is a slim rechargeable receiver-in-canal hearing aid powered by Integra OS. It is AI-trained to automatically adapt to eight listening environments. It delivers 24 hours of battery life on a single charge with six times stronger Bluetooth connectivity than previous Unitron models.
Unitron Smile — Insera S-R
The Insera S-R brings the full Smile platform into a custom rechargeable in-the-ear design. Launched in January 2026, it is built for patients who want a discreet, custom fit without giving up any of the features found in the Moxi S-R. That includes HyperFocus, Speech Enhancement, and full Bluetooth streaming.
Unitron Vivante — Moxi
The Vivante platform launched in 2023 and remains fully current. The Moxi is Unitron's most popular receiver-in-canal style, available in rechargeable and standard battery options. It features AutoFocus 360 for automatic environment adaptation, HyperFocus on higher technology tiers, and universal Bluetooth for both iOS and Android.
Unitron Vivante — Stride
The Stride is a behind-the-ear option on the Vivante platform for patients who need greater amplification or prefer a more traditional fit. Available in multiple sizes including an ultra-compact model, with the same AutoFocus 360 sound technology and Remote Plus app compatibility as the rest of the Vivante lineup.
