Phonak Audéo Sphere Infinio Hearing Aid Review

Phonak Sphere Infinio Hearing Aid Review: Speech Clarity in Noisy Environments | 2024 Release
Phonak just set the stage for hearing aids in 2024 and beyond with the release of the Sphere Infinio, launched at the iconic Sphere in Las Vegas. In this video, I’ll dive into what I learned at the event and share how these cutting-edge hearing aids can revolutionize your experience in noisy environments. Stick around until the end for an exclusive promo!
Phonak introduced four new models, but I’ll focus on the two that will likely interest most of you-the Audéo Sphere and the Audéo Infinio.
Both models feature Bluetooth Classic, enabling seamless pairing with multiple devices, Auracast readiness for future audio sharing, and robust build quality that surpasses the IP68 rating, offering enhanced water and dust resistance. They’re also compatible with the myPhonak app for easy control and soon will include a feature to help you locate your hearing aids if misplaced.
A standout feature of the Sphere model is its DeepSonic chip with a deep neural network, designed to dramatically improve speech clarity in noisy environments by boosting the signal-to-noise ratio by 5.9dB, more than doubling the performance of leading competitors.
Don’t miss the in-depth review coming soon from our customer Nick, who’s currently testing these aids.

I’m a year out (from my workman’s comp) hearing aid change out but am already drooling after watching the ‘Sphere’ video reviews. My provider has tested these and said it’s as good as stated. I told him to get the paperwork ready cause on day one of eligibility, I want to be wearing them. Great video. God Bless.

I'm wearing mine 18 hrs a day and not falling below 50 %

Oh that's awesome to hear, I hope that holds up, but yeah we're hearing good things from our customers so far.

[@tomhogan9761]

Same is true for me.

Jeff, another great video! I have had opportunity to test and compare to my Lyrics. No hype about their benefit of clarity of speech in noise. Obviously, this is not a strength of analog aids such as Lyrics, but I have tested numerous RIC units and still use my Insio AX7. The Sphere is much, much better. I have found most RIC units okay for left/right orientation, but they are useless for up/down. With their mic placement further apart vertically this is improved… not sure this was an intentional design or just accident based upon the Spheres size. UTC The only future proof feature they lack is using MEMs to replace traditional mics and speakers.

Great comment, totally agree with everything you said, MEMs will probably start being used in the next few years. Thanks for watching Russ

Great video and information, Jeff. 👏

[@Ziphearing]

Thanks so much for the kind comment and thanks for watching :)

Do they work with Android phones and tablets?

@ziphearing Jeff, You mentioned that a church could simply attach an Auracast device to the church's sound system to enable local broadcasting within the church. I am on the technology committee of the little church I attend. How can I find out more about obtaining such an Auracast device? Can you point me to a link? I can take it from there

[@Ziphearing]

Which hearing aid model do you have?

[@DanAshleyWork]

This would be for all the congregants in the church. I am on the technology committee and we have some headsets we hand out. As for me personally, I temporarily wear PSAPs purchased OTC from Sound World Solutions but have an appointment with an audiologist and MD next month.

[@Ziphearing]

@@DanAshleyWork Ah, unfortunately it's going to be 3-5 years (best guess), until the majority of congregants have Auracast-compatible hearing aids. You're a bit early, there are very few aids on the market that would even work as of today :/

[@DanAshleyWork]

The thought would be to sunset the handing out of headsets, and broadcast using Auracast. (If it does not cost yoo much.)

[@Ziphearing]

@@DanAshleyWork Got it. Auracast transmitters don't cost much, few hundred max. Survey your existing hearing aid wearers asking them their make/model. Take that list and do a Gooogle Search like "Model x + Auracast" and see which (if any models) are compatible. Once you have a few members with auracast-compatible hearing aids, then you can start making the switch and some congregants can use the tcoil system, and others can use Auracast.
