  • Improved speech understanding: 61% better speech understanding in noise when combined with Roger ON.

  • Real-time AI processing: Powered by the DEEPSONIC chip, the Audéo Sphere Infinio offers instant speech separation and noise reduction.

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. This innovation highlights our dedication to providing the best possible sound quality and user experience.”
