Predictions for Phonak hearing aids in 2025
Based on the Infinio Ultra launch in October 2025, Phonak has already delivered several predicted advancements:
- AI-driven speech separation - The Infinio Ultra Sphere introduced the world's first dedicated DEEPSONIC AI chip specifically for separating speech from noise, delivering three times better speech understanding in noisy environments.
- Enhanced connectivity - Infinio Ultra models feature improved Bluetooth with double the transmission range of previous Phonak generations and stable two-way streaming that actually works reliably.
- Improved battery life - Infinio Ultra Sphere offers up to 56 hours in standard mode, whilst Infinio Ultra R provides up to 31 hours of use.
Looking ahead to mid-2025 and beyond, we might expect:
In 2025, Phonak may continue to refine AI-driven features that automatically adjust to different environments, ensuring the best sound quality whether you're in a bustling city or a quiet home.
Phonak may also introduce even greater integration with smart devices, making the user experience more connected and intuitive.
With the already improved battery life and availability of fully rechargeable, compact designs, Phonak continues to provide hearing aids that are not only more powerful but also discreet, comfortable, and accessible for all.
Potential future developments:
- Further refinement of the DEEPSONIC AI chip technology.
- Expansion of Auracast broadcast audio support as the technology becomes more widespread.
- Additional health tracking features beyond current step counting and activity monitoring.
- Possible integration with emerging smart home and assistive technologies.
In this article, we will take a brief look at the Phonak digital hearing aid launches throughout 2025 and beyond. We will update this content as and when new products from Phonak are available in the UK market, with a summary of their features versus benefits.
Latest launch: Phonak Infinio Ultra R and Infinio Ultra Sphere hearing aids
Phonak's latest hearing aids, the Infinio Ultra range, feature advanced technology for enhanced sound quality and user experience.

They offer personalised sound settings, smartphone connectivity, and effective noise cancellation, making them suitable for diverse listening environments.

2025 also brought the launch of Phonak Virto Infinio hearing aids
Phonak expanded its Infinio portfolio in January 2025 with the launch of two new custom-made hearing aids — the Virto Infinio and the Virto Infinio Titanium.
These new additions bring the power of Phonak’s ERA platform and SmartSpeech technology to discreet, in-the-ear designs.
The Virto Infinio range uses advanced biometric calibration for a truly personalised fit, capturing thousands of data points from each ear to optimise comfort and performance. The result is a clear, natural sound that adapts seamlessly to different environments using AutoSense OS 6.0.
The standout Virto Infinio Titanium features a shell made from medical-grade titanium, which is both ultra-strong and 50% thinner than traditional acrylic.
This allows for an even smaller, more discreet fit — ideal for those who want a virtually invisible hearing aid without compromising durability or sound quality.
Key features of the Virto Infinio range:
- Custom-moulded to your ear using advanced biometric calibration
- SmartSpeech Technology on i90 and i70 models
- AutoSense OS 6.0 with automatic environment detection
- Titanium model: Medical-grade titanium shell, 50% thinner than acrylic
- Size 10 disposable batteries
- Available in performance levels: i90, i70, i50, i30 (Titanium available in i90, i70 only)
Together, these models showcase Phonak’s commitment to combining premium design, comfort, and innovation, offering one of the most advanced custom hearing solutions available today.

2024 brought the launch of Phonak Audeo Infinio hearing aids, now discontinued
Phonak launched its original Infinio range in August 2024. This introduction featured an array of hearing aids, all powered by innovative dual-chip technology. The Infinio range included multiple models that addressed various hearing challenges and requirements.
Among these, the Audeo Sphere Infinio i90 stood out, tapping into real-time AI processing through its DEEPSONIC chip, which effectively differentiated speech from background noise, enhancing clarity and user comfort in loud settings.
This original collection highlighted durability, improved Bluetooth connectivity, and longer battery life, offering significant advancements over previous models.
Another notable addition was the Phonak Audeo Infinio CROS, designed specifically for those with single-sided deafness (SSD) who might benefit from CROS or BiCROS configurations.
This model featured a variety of advanced technologies that worked together to provide exceptional sound quality. The CROS Infinio remains current.
Original Audeo Infinio models (now replaced by Infinio Ultra):

2025 Phonak Hearing Aids
Past notable hearing aid launches
2023 brought the launch of Phonak Slim hearing aids
Phonak Slim hearing aids, launched in May 2023, were an aesthetically streamlined addition to the Lumity platform.
The ergonomic shape (7° angle) of this model is contoured naturally to the curve of your head, leaving more room behind your ears, offering all-day comfort. Ideal for people who wear glasses, oxygen, or a mask, this hearing aid is designed to be seen.
The Slim range remains current in 2025 and continues to be an excellent choice for people who want the unique ergonomic design with proven Lumity technology. Available in performance levels: L90, L70, L50, and L30.
Phonak Audeo Lumity hearing aids
Coming only a few months after their last major product launch (Audeo Life and Audeo Fit) and replacing some of those newly released products, this launch was rather unexpected.
These digital hearing aids are very similar in appearance to the previous range, the Phonak Paradise platform. Apart from a few minor features, they are close to identical. The chip and all of the hardware are the same as what is in Paradise.
Despite the incremental nature of the update at launch, Lumity has proven itself as a reliable, established technology. The Lumity range remains current in 2025 and continues to serve users well with SmartSpeech Technology and AutoSense OS 5.0.
In our opinion, these changes should have just been a free software update to the current Paradise models, rather than being introduced as a new model.
The Phonak Audeo Lumity hearing aids are also designed to adapt to the wearer's listening environment and preferences, resulting in a personalised hearing experience. Available in performance levels: L90, L70, L50, and L30.
The Lumity range includes:
- Audeo Lumity R (standard rechargeable)
- Audeo Lumity -312 (traditional battery)
- Audeo Lumity RT (rechargeable with telecoil)
Phonak Audeo Lumity Life hearing aids, now discontinued
The Phonak Audeo Lumity Life hearing aids had a new outer case that was specifically designed with microphone ports. The key highlight here, though, is that it was waterproof.
Life hearing aids could be submerged in around 1.64 feet of either fresh, salt, or pool water. This model is now discontinued.
Paradise additions with the launch of Virto Paradise In-Ear hearing aids
Phonak Paradise hearing aids are now available in their popular Virto line of custom-made hearing aids, which includes their extra discreet Titanium model.
In all honesty, Phonak was due for a new ITE custom-made hearing aid style at this time, and we predicted these additional styles would be accepted well by consumers.
Note: The Virto Paradise models have been superseded by the Virto Infinio range (launched January 2025), which offers updated technology on the ERA platform.

FAQs
In general, any audiologist will always recommend to you the hearing aid model that best suits your needs. Here is a useful checklist to make sure that is the case.
- Audiologist's level of knowledge: The audiologist you have seen will hopefully have a wide knowledge of all available hearing aids; however, some will only be familiar with a small number of brands and, therefore, may not really be in a position to know which model is the best for you. It is OK to challenge their recommendation and ask them to justify why this particular brand is the one for you.
- Do research: Read about the hearing aid that was recommended. Does it seem like it will suit your lifestyle? Does it have more or fewer features than you need?
- Be aware of sales targets: Many high street retailers have specific tie-ins to a particular manufacturer/brand. The hearing aid they have suggested may still be the correct one for you, but do your research so that you know why they might have recommended it.
If you have significant hearing loss in both ears, you should be wearing two hearing aids. Here are the audiological reasons why:
Localisation: The brain decodes information from both ears and compares and contrasts them. By analysing the minuscule time delays as well as the difference in the loudness of each sound reaching the ears, the person is able to accurately locate a sound source.
Simply put, if you have better hearing on one side than the other, you can't accurately tell what direction sounds are coming from.
Less amplification is required: A phenomenon known as “binaural summation” means that the hearing aids can be set at a lower and more natural volume setting than if you wore only one hearing aid.
Head shadow effect: High frequencies, the part of your hearing that gives clarity and meaning to speech sounds, cannot bend around your head. Only low frequencies can. Therefore, if someone is talking on your unaided side, you are likely to hear that they are speaking, but be unable to tell what they have said.
Noise reduction: The brain has its own built-in noise reduction, which is only really effective when it is receiving information from both ears. If only one ear is aided, even with the best hearing aid in the world, it will be difficult for you to hear in background noise as your brain is trying to retain all of the sounds (including background noise) rather than filtering them out.
Sound quality: We are designed to hear in stereo. Only hearing from one side sounds a lot less natural to us.

For most people, the main benefit of a rechargeable hearing aid is simple convenience. We are used to plugging in our phones and other devices overnight for them to charge up. Here are some other pros and cons:
For anybody with poor dexterity or issues with their fingers, having a rechargeable aid makes a huge difference, as normal hearing aid batteries are quite small and some people find them fiddly to change.
One downside is that if you forget to charge your hearing aid, then it is a problem that can't be instantly fixed. For most, a 30-minute charge will get you at least two or three hours of hearing, but if you are the type of person who is likely to forget to plug them in regularly, then you're probably better off with standard batteries.
Rechargeable aids are also a little bit bigger and are only available in Behind-the-Ear models.
Finally, just like with a mobile phone, the amount of charge you get on day one is not going to be the same as you get a few years down the line. Be sure to ask what the policy is with the manufacturer's warranty when it comes to replacing the battery.
For most people, the answer is yes. But it's never that simple.
The majority of hearing problems affect the high frequencies a lot more than the low ones. Therefore, open fitting hearing aids sound a lot more natural and ones that block your ears up can make your own voice sound like you are talking with your head in a bucket. Therefore, in-ear aids tend to be less natural.
However, the true answer is we can't tell until we have had a look in your ears to assess the size of your ear canal, and until we have tested your hearing to see which frequencies are being affected.
People with wider ear canals tend to have more flexibility, also there are open fitting modular CIC hearing aids now that do not block your ears.
There is also the age-old rule to consider, that a hearing aid will not help you if it's sat in the drawer gathering dust. If the only hearing aid you would be happy wearing is one that people can't see, then that's what you should get.
Most people can adapt to any type of hearing aid, as long as they know what to expect. Have an honest conversation with your audiologist as to what your needs are.
Generally speaking, six or more. Unless it's none at all. The number of channels a hearing aid has is often a simplistic way an audiologist will use to explain why one hearing aid is better than another, but channels are complex, and it is really not that straightforward. Here are some reasons why:
Hearing aids amplify sounds of different frequencies by different amounts. Most people have lost more high frequencies than low, and therefore need more amplification in the high frequencies. The range of sounds you hear is split into frequency bands or channels, and the hearing aids are set to provide the right amount of hearing at each frequency level.
Less than six channels, and this cannot be done with much accuracy, so six is the magic number. However, a six-channel aid is typically very basic with few other features and is suitable only for hearing a single speaker in a quiet room. The number of channels is not what you should be looking at; it's more the rest of the technology that comes with them.
As a final note, different manufacturers have different approaches. One method is not necessarily better than any other. For example, some manufacturers have as many as 64 channels in their top aids. Most tend to have between 17 and 20. One manufacturer has no channels at all.
Manufacturer's warranties typically last between 2-5 years, depending on the brand and model, and cover defects in materials and workmanship. This includes repairs for component failures, electronic malfunctions, and manufacturing defects, but excludes damage from misuse, accidents, or normal wear. Most manufacturers also include loss and damage insurance for the first year.
We handle all warranty claims on your behalf, liaising with manufacturers and ensuring you get replacement devices quickly when needed. This comprehensive warranty coverage, combined with our lifetime aftercare, gives you complete peace of mind.
Our hearing tests are completely free, whether at our clinics or in your home. Unlike other providers who charge £30-£100 for home visits, we believe hearing healthcare should be accessible without financial barriers. Our comprehensive assessments include examination by a registered audiologist, audiogram results, and personalised recommendations.
All testing, future adjustments, and ongoing support are included at no extra cost. While NHS tests are also free, typical 6-week waiting periods often lead people to seek immediate private testing. We provide prompt, professional assessments that fit your schedule and budget.
Yes, we offer completely free home visits throughout the UK, and this service is included in our prices with no additional charges. Home visits are particularly valuable for people with mobility issues, busy schedules, or those who simply prefer the comfort and convenience of their own environment.
Our audiologists can conduct full hearing tests, fit hearing aids, and provide ongoing support in your home. This service sets us apart from many providers who either don't offer home visits or charge extra for them.
We can offer prices up to 40% lower than high street retailers because of our business model. As a network of 200+ independent audiologists, we don't have the massive overheads of large retail chains - no expensive high street premises, no sales targets pushing audiologists to sell the most expensive options, and no costly marketing campaigns.
However, we maintain the same buying power as the big chains because we purchase on behalf of our entire nationwide network. This means you get access to the same premium hearing aids with professional service, but at genuinely competitive prices.
We offer a comprehensive 60-day money-back guarantee, which gives you twice the industry standard time to properly assess whether your hearing aids are right for you. This extended period recognises that adjusting to hearing aids takes time, and your brain needs several weeks to adapt to the amplified sounds.
Unlike many providers who offer just 30 days, we believe 60 days gives you the confidence to test your hearing aids in all the situations that matter to you - from quiet conversations at home to busy restaurants and outdoor activities.
