The Unitron Smile 5 is a mid-range model in the Smile family, offering a strong balance of advanced features, natural sound, and everyday reliability. Built on the Smile platform with the ERA chip, it goes further than the entry-level Smile 3 by improving speech clarity in noise, adding smarter automatic adjustments, and delivering a more personalised hearing experience.
For those who want dependable performance with some advanced support—without paying premium prices—the Smile 5 is a well-rounded choice.
Powered by Integra OS, the Smile 5 recognises and adapts to a broader range of listening environments compared to the Smile 3. Directional microphones and improved noise reduction technology work together to enhance speech clarity, so conversations feel easier and more natural.
With rechargeability, universal Bluetooth streaming, and app-based control, Smile 5 combines modern connectivity with practical hearing support for everyday life.
ERA Chip with Universal Bluetooth® - Reliable streaming of calls, TV, and music from both iPhone and Android devices.
Integra OS with More Environments -Â Recognises and adjusts across more listening situations than Smile 3, improving clarity in varied daily scenarios.
Improved Noise Reduction -Â Better background noise control for easier conversations in moderately noisy settings.
Rechargeable Convenience -Â All-day use with quick charging and portable charger options.
Remote Plus App Support -Â Personalise your hearing experience discreetly from your smartphone.
The Smile 5 is a great mid-tier option, but it doesn’t have the full sophistication of the Smile 9. Key differences include:
Advanced Speech-in-Noise Features – Smile 9 includes HyperFocus and AutoFocus 360 for superior performance in very loud environments, which are not available in Smile 5.
Full Environmental Adaptation – Smile 5 adapts to more settings than Smile 3, but Smile 9 covers all 8 environments with the highest level of automation.
Finer Personalisation – Smile 9 provides more precise adjustments and sound tailoring for demanding users.
Premium Streaming Quality – Streaming on Smile 5 is clear and reliable, but Smile 9 offers more refined audio performance.
The Smile 5 is an excellent choice if you want advanced technology without the cost of the flagship model, but if you often find yourself in complex or noisy listening environments, the Smile 9 provides noticeably greater clarity and adaptability.
