Many people tell me the same thing: “I can hear… but I can’t follow conversations in noise.”
Phonak’s Infinio (Ultra) platform is built for exactly that — clearer speech, less listening effort, and a more automatic experience across your day.
In simple terms: Infinio aims to keep speech clear as your environment changes — quiet rooms, traffic, cafés, meetings — so you spend less time “managing” your hearing aids and more time just living.
The hearing aids automatically switch and blend settings based on what you’re doing — so you’re not constantly pressing buttons or changing programs.
Earwax is one of the most common reasons people get intermittent sound. EasyGuard domes add a protective membrane at the receiver, helping reduce wax-related interruptions and the hassle of frequent filter changes.
We most commonly fit three Infinio options: a versatile rechargeable RIC (Ultra R), a “noise specialist” RIC (Ultra Sphere), and a custom in-the-ear option (Virto R Infinio). We’ll recommend based on your hearing test, ear anatomy, dexterity and what your real life actually looks like.
The all-rounder: for people who want a mostly automatic, rechargeable hearing aid with strong everyday clarity and dependable Bluetooth connectivity.
The “restaurant and meeting” option: built for people who feel they are constantly guessing words in complex background noise. Sphere adds a dedicated AI chip (DEEPSONIC™) to separate speech from noise in real time.
For people who want a custom in-the-ear hearing aid (no behind-the-ear piece). Virto is made from an impression/scan of your ear, then built to match your anatomy. That usually means a snug, stable fit — and for many users, a very “natural” feel.
If you just want the “which one is for me?” view, start here. (Final suitability depends on your hearing test, ear anatomy and your day-to-day listening environments.)
| Model | Best for | Style | Battery (quoted max) | Noise handling | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Audéo Infinio (Ultra) R | Everyday clarity + convenience | RIC (behind-the-ear with thin wire) | ~31 hours | Strong general performance | Great “default” option for many first-time users. |
| Audéo Infinio (Ultra) Sphere | Restaurants, meetings, group noise | RIC | ~56 hours | ★ AI speech-in-noise focus (DEEPSONIC) | Most suitable for people who spend a lot of time in complex noise. |
| Virto R Infinio | Discreet, custom in-the-ear fit | Custom ITE | Depends on model/usage | Good, varies by configuration | Best outcomes come from accurate impressions + careful fine-tuning. |
Hearing aids are not “buy and go.” The fitting, verification, counselling and follow-up fine-tuning matter just as much as the chip inside the device.
If you’ve tried hearing aids before and felt “it helps… but I still struggle,” you likely need a different combination of technology + settings + counselling, not just “more volume”.
Infinio models are commonly considered for mild to profound hearing loss depending on the exact device and receiver/power option. The best fit depends on your hearing thresholds, speech scores, ear health, dexterity and lifestyle.
Ultra R is the versatile, all-round rechargeable RIC. Ultra Sphere is designed for people who struggle most in complex noise and adds a dedicated AI chip (DEEPSONIC) aimed at separating speech from noise in real time.
Virto can be an excellent option, but power and features depend on your hearing loss level, ear anatomy, and the exact Virto configuration. We’ll confirm whether you’re a good candidate during assessment (and explain trade-offs clearly).
Battery life varies with streaming, your hearing loss, and features used. We’ll set realistic expectations and show you how to charge and manage streaming so you don’t get caught short mid-day.
Infinio RIC models support universal Bluetooth connectivity. For Virto, features can vary by model and market — we’ll confirm compatibility with your phone and help pair your devices during fitting.
We’ll compare your listening goals and test results against multiple brands and technology levels, then recommend based on performance and fit — not marketing.
