Phonak Audeo Infinio Sphere
$ 5.350,00
Phonak Audeo Infinio Sphere combines AI-powered noise reduction with Bluetooth 5.3 and rechargeable batteries for superior speech clarity in challenging environments.
Description
Phonak’s Infinio Sphere, launched in August 2024, features the AI-driven DEEPSONIC chip for enhanced speech clarity in noisy environments.
This receiver-in-canal hearing aid offers Bluetooth 5.3 Dual-Mode connectivity, supporting up to 8 paired devices and 2 simultaneous connections.
The rechargeable lithium-ion battery provides up to 16 hours of use (3 hours with streaming), though Sphere mode reduces this to 7 hours in loud settings.
Key features include IP68 waterproofing, tap controls for calls/music, and the my Phonak app for sound customization, health tracking, and remote professional adjustments. While bulkier than competitors due to its advanced processor, it maintains an ergonomic design.
The device is Auracast-ready but not fully enabled, and open-fit configurations may limit noise reduction benefits. Compatible with Phonak’s wireless accessories like TV Streamer and Roger microphones for enhanced listening.
Why We Recommend the Phonak Audeo Infinio Sphere
This device leverages the DEEPSONIC AI chip to isolate speech in extreme noise,' offering a clinical advantage for patients who struggle in ''cocktail party'' environments. While the hardware is slightly bulkier', the 16-hour rechargeable life is robust, though heavy use of Sphere mode can reduce runtime significantly.
- It is best suited for active users with mild-to-profound hearing loss who prioritize maximum clarity over form factor.Ideal for active professionals who frequently attend group meetings or social gatherings.
- The standout clinical feature is the AI-driven noise reduction which significantly improves signal-to-noise ratio.
- Upgrade to this model if your current RIC device fails to provide clarity in complex acoustic environments.
- You require a discreet, ultra-small hearing aid (larger size due to DEEPSONIC chip).
- You need a full day of use in loud environments (Sphere mode significantly drains battery to 7 hours).
- You primarily listen to music in high-fidelity environments (reported distortion issues).
- You use open-fit configurations (limited noise reduction benefits).
- You require immediate Auracast compatibility (not fully enabled).
- Must be fitted by a licensed audiologist.
- Real-ear measurement (REM) is required for optimizing AI-powered noise reduction.

Reviews
They sound great most of the time, but in music environments or in meetings they get distorted quite badly. During external music it's constant, during being someone will be taking and all of a sudden they get buzzy and distorted.
James
The battery did not support a full day of use in noisy environments. I found myself with the battery fully exhausted when I still had two hours of socializing ahead.

The noise reduction of the Sphere system was the best in noisy situations involving multiple human voices, significantly better than the other three aids I tested
Henry
Comfort & Design: These are definitely the largest hearing aids I’ve worn, but I haven't found the size to be a problem. Despite their bulk compared to other models, they sit comfortably behind my ears, even with glasses on.
Sophie
Sphere mode allowed me to hear conversations at a wedding, but it didn’t handle loud music as well as I hoped. Battery life has been impressive, lasting over 12 hours with several hours of streaming.

Hearing Loss Fit Guidance
Degree of Loss
This device is designed to handle mild to profound hearing loss. Because it requires professional fitting, your audiologist will select the appropriate receiver power level.
Audiogram Shape
This model is well-suited for most audiogram profiles, particularly high-frequency ski-slope losses needing strong speech-in-noise support.
What to Expect at Fitting
- Requires an in-person audiologist visit for Real-Ear Measurements.
- Expect a 30-day acclimatization period to the AI noise separation.
- Requires 1-2 follow-up visits for fine-tuning.
- Bluetooth setup will be completed at the clinic.
Individuals seeking an invisible in-ear device or an over-the-counter self-fit option.
