Phonak also introduced additional hearing aid models based on the Infinio platform, including the Audéo R Infinio, CROS R Infinio, and Virto R Infinio, each designed to meet specific user needs.

“We are incredibly excited to bring the Audéo Sphere Infinio to our users. This is more than just a hearing aid; it’s a game-changer for anyone struggling with hearing in noisy environments,” says Robert Woolley, Group Vice President Hearing Instruments at Sonova. “With our proprietary ERA and DEEPSONIC AI chips, we’ve achieved a new level of speech clarity that we’re proud to share.
