Imagine providing your clients with instant, unprecedented speech clarity in the most challenging listening environments.

What if noise was no longer a barrier? This groundbreaking moment in hearing healthcare is here. We are introducing a paradigm shift in sound processing that revolutionizes the way we address the infamous cocktail party problem. Meet the Phonak Audéo Sphere Infinio—the hearing aid we’ve all been waiting for.

With this new technology, we’re redefining realistic expectations and transforming how hearing aid wearers experience the world.

Now, we can achieve unparalleled levels of speech understanding in noise, with speech coming from any direction. This is truly a revolutionary moment in hearing healthcare, where noise is no longer an obstacle.

How do we achieve this?

The new feature, Spheric Speech Clarity, is exclusively available in the Audéo Sphere Infinio and is powered by the proprietary DEEPSONIC chip. This unique chip uses a Deep Neural Network dedicated solely to separating speech from noise, instantly, from any direction.

While the statistics are impressive:

  • 53 times more powerful than competitive chip technology1
  • Performing an outstanding 7,700 million operations per second1
  • Enabling 4.5 million neural connections to truly separate speech from noise1

What truly matters is how this chip maximizes the potential of AI for us. Thanks to the impressive technology in this chip, we can deliver a level of clean and clear speech far beyond any existing technology. 

Listeners are 2x more likely to understand speech from any direction with Spheric Speech Clarity.*2 The listening experience is so exceptional that 10 out of 10 surveyed hearing care professionals reported it delivered an outstanding hearing experience —you read that right, every single one.3

  1. When will I be able to change the batteries manually? This is what I will wait for.

  2. Hello Jane, Thank you for your comment. One of the reasons we offer rechargeable is that some hardware and features in Infinio, such as the accelerometer and Motion Sensor Hearing, require a higher voltage than what can be provided by replaceable batteries. Rechargeable hearing aids also play a role in preserving our environment.

    If you are willing to consider rechargeable, Infinio offers an entire day of hearing aid use and even comes with charger options to charge on the go.
    Hope this is helpful!
    Best, Lisa
