Phonak Audéo Infinio Sphere Hearing Aids

Following a conversation in a busy room, a family gathering or a crowded restaurant is one of the most common frustrations people describe when their hearing changes. The Phonak Audéo Infinio Sphere is Phonak’s flagship hearing aid, built specifically to help with exactly this challenge. At The Hearing Care Centre, our audiologists can talk you through whether it is the right fit for your hearing needs.

What is the Phonak Audéo Infinio Sphere?

The Audéo Infinio Sphere sits at the top of Phonak’s Infinio range, alongside the Infinio Ultra R and Virto R Infinio. It is a rechargeable, receiver-in-canal hearing aid suitable for mild to profound hearing loss, and it introduces a level of on-device processing that Phonak has not offered before.

Phonak states that the Infinio Sphere is built around a dedicated AI chip, developed specifically to separate speech from background noise in every direction at once, rather than simply reducing overall noise levels.

Is the Infinio Sphere right for you?

The Infinio Sphere is one option among several in the Phonak range, and it will not be the right choice for everyone. Because it sits at the premium end of the range, it tends to suit people who spend a lot of time in noisy or unpredictable listening environments, such as busy workplaces, family gatherings or social occasions with several people talking at once.

The only way to know whether it suits your hearing loss, lifestyle and budget is through a proper assessment. Our audiologists will talk you through how it compares with other Phonak devices and other manufacturers we work with, so you can make an informed choice rather than a guess.

A dedicated AI chip for speech in noise

The headline feature is DEEPSONIC, which Phonak describes as the world’s first dedicated AI chip for all-around speech-from-noise separation. It powers what Phonak calls Spheric Speech Clarity 2.0, a processing system designed to extract, enhance and integrate speech from multiple voices in real time, regardless of which direction they are coming from.

In practical terms, this means a wearer is not limited to focusing on whoever is directly in front of them. Phonak’s own research, referenced on its website, reports that wearers were up to three times more likely to understand speech from any direction when using Spheric Speech Clarity 2.0, and that listening effort was reduced by up to 35 per cent compared with the previous StereoZoom 2.0 system. These are Phonak’s published findings from its field studies rather than independently verified figures, and we are happy to share the source with you if you would like to look into the detail.

Built for everyday life

  • Up to 56 hours of battery life on a single charge, based on Phonak’s typical usage assumptions
  • Compatible with Phonak’s EasyGuard dome, designed to help protect the receiver from earwax
  • Universal Bluetooth connectivity for calls and streaming, across a wide range of devices
  • Works with Phonak’s Roger wireless microphones, useful in meetings, classrooms or noisy social settings
  • Controlled through the myPhonak app, for adjusting volume and programmes without reaching for the device itself

These features are designed to work together, so that clearer hearing in noise does not come at the cost of convenience or reliability throughout the day. A device that needs frequent recharging, or that struggles to connect to a phone reliably, can undo a lot of the benefit of better speech processing, so Phonak has built the Infinio Sphere with everyday practicality in mind as well as raw performance.

FAQ

Its dedicated AI chip, DEEPSONIC, is new to this device and is not featured on other current Phonak models. Phonak states that it is designed specifically to separate speech from noise coming from any direction, rather than narrowing focus to whoever is directly in front of the wearer.

Phonak markets the device as suitable for mild to profound hearing loss. Whether it is the right fit for your particular hearing loss can only be confirmed with a full hearing assessment, so this is always the recommended first step.

Phonak states up to 56 hours on a single charge, though actual runtime depends on factors such as your level of hearing loss, how much streaming you do, and which features are switched on. Your audiologist can talk you through realistic expectations based on how you plan to use the device.

Yes. Most wearers benefit from one or more follow-up appointments after the initial fitting, to fine-tune settings based on real-world use, along with routine cleaning, maintenance and adjustment as needed over time.

The best way to find out is to book a hearing assessment. Your audiologist will discuss your hearing loss, lifestyle and budget, and compare the Infinio Sphere against other Phonak devices and other manufacturers, so you can make a fully informed decision.

Support with fitting and aftercare at The Hearing Care Centre

A hearing aid only performs as well as its fitting. When you choose the Phonak Audéo Infinio Sphere through The Hearing Care Centre, your audiologist will carry out a full hearing assessment, fit the device to your individual hearing profile, and fine-tune the settings over one or more follow-up appointments. This typically includes checking real-world performance in the situations that matter most to you, not just in a quiet consultation room.

Ongoing support does not stop once the device is fitted. Routine care includes cleaning and maintenance advice, help setting up the myPhonak app and any Roger accessories, and adjustments as your hearing or listening needs change over time.
