What is a Phonak Nathos? (UK NHS range)

Is it the Nathos Auto?

There’s no such thing as Nathos M.

There’s Nathos S+, Nathos Auto and Nathos Nova.

EDIT - Or have you got the first generation Nathos M that came out in 2008. Forgot about that one.

EDIT 2 - Here’s info for the Nathos M and what it is privately.

“The Nathos M is equivalent to a Phonak Versata with addition of echoblock but constructed in a Naida SP casing.”

That’s more than ten years ago I was asking about that! Lol

I did have a Nathos M followed by a Nathos SPw and a Nathos S SP. I don’t have the M any more but I do still have the SP and I’m wearing the S.

not phonak nathos auto, but an older generation, namely phonak nathos M, where I can see the fitting range or data sheet, it seems very difficult to get this info. thanks for answering.

As I said, look up Phonak Versata as that’s what they are private.

If they aren’t the Phonak Nathos M W, then you’ll need the HiPro to program them, if that’s the way you want to go.

Or download the iPFG software which is free and I’ll give you the code to see the Nathos software.

EDIT - this is what they are! https://www.phonakpro.com/content/dam/phonakpro/gc_hq/en/products_solutions/hearing_aid/phase_out/027_0478_02_Versata_Art_Product_Information_GB_V1.00.pdf

thank you very much, you’re very helpful, so nathos M = vernata M fitting range.

thank you very much. truth is not for me to wear. but a friend in the UK delivers to me to be used by children less able, but I am having trouble finding info tool of his .

They are locked so you won’t be able to program them unless you have the unlocked code.

I have an internet friend who I have never met, he has always helped me since 2017, we have never met or video calls. now he’s helping me raise money for a cochlear implant, giving me some HA for me to resell.

@pembangunanpessel202

How much are you expecting for these Nathos M? I’m just curious as they are 13 year old technology.

@Zebras
ya you’re right , this was a long time ago…
I will probably try to sell it on ebay by way of bidding , ( auction /)

starting from $20 . how does that sound ?

@pembangunanpessel202

People are selling the latest Nathos Auto on eBay and they are only going for roughly £25 to £35.

@Zebras

Wow, that’s a shame, this is very disappointing, but I’ll still try, because maybe someone will help donate to me by buying this hearing aid. because the original purpose of selling this HA is to raise money for cochlear implants (and I will say so in the description), who knows if anyone is interested in helping in this way.

@Zebras

Sorry, I’ve tried to find the price of Phonak Nathos AUto but couldn’t find it in the range under 50 euros, even I got this on the forums

Good luck! Too bad they don’t have nathos auto, they do here at Doncaster. Did you look on eBay? some are used for £900 and new from £600 for the 50s. mike

can you help me get Phonak Auto for £25 to £35 , so I can sell it in my city again? Please :blush:

@Zebras
ow. the auction, it is very difficult to find the auction with specific items. and unfortunately I see only 1 bid ( no one is interested ) . btw recently I get the phonak sky q 70 SP with a price of 10 dollars and a pair of Phonak Ambra SP for 77 dollars, but that doesn’t mean their prices in that range. this only auctions lucky chance.

after this , I still want them. but no more

If these Nathos Autos came from the NHS, they don’t belong to the end user!

Hearing aids on the NHS are long term loans. Not for anyone but the NHS to sell and their used aids are completely refurbished and deployed in places like Africa. Losing an NHS HA can incur a replacement fee as well!

I agree but they seem to be sold on eBay a lot! Don’t know how they get away with it.

I know when I lived in Yorkshire and Lincolnshire 10 years ago whenever the NHS upgraded or changed my hearing aid model the old ones had to be given back, I asked about keeping an older pair as a spare incase newer ones broke and was told nope they don’t allow that. However when I was living Surrey and Essex I was allowed to keep the older sets of hearing aids so I think it truly depends on the area you live/or by the local NHS services themselves. I was always told if a aid was lost or broken through negligence and a repeatedly occuring problem the patient/user could end up incurring costs to replace them. I only ever had 1 set where I was at fault my puppy chewed them up and they did replace them for free as I have never had that happen before, but I remember the worry of trying to explain how a puppy got hold of them.
