The Phonak Audeo Infinio Sphere i70 hearing aids, also known as Audeo i70-Sphere, are created to elevate your listening experience, even in the loudest environments. These advanced devices filter out background noise, focusing on speech to keep you connected and engaged, whether with friends, family, or colleagues.
The Audeo Infinio Sphere i70 also marks a great achievement as the world’s first hearing aid to incorporate a dedicated AI chip, DEEPSONIC, within its sound processing system.
This innovative technology, known as the Deep Sound Optimised Neural Integrated Chip, expands your listening range in all directions, delivering premium speech clarity by effectively isolating speech from background noise.
What does this mean for your hearing? The Audeo Infinio Sphere i70 offers clear and precise speech comprehension that is said to surpass any previous technology.
Imagine being able to participate in a lively family dinner, follow an engaging lecture, or enjoy a conversation with a friend, even in noisy settings, this is the power of Phonak Audeo Sphere’s advanced speech clarity.
With the Audeo Infinio Sphere i70 hearing aids, staying present and engaged in noisy environments is easier than ever. This device improves complex group conversations by separating unwanted noise from essential sounds, allowing for total focus and effortless listening. It reduces listening effort by 34% when processing speech from a distance and by 45% when speech comes from an adjacent room.
The Audeo Infinio Sphere i70 offers fantastic connectivity, pairing with more Bluetooth devices than any other hearing aid on the market. Equipped with the ERA chip, it ensures uninterrupted hands-free calls and streaming, doubling the effective distance.
Enhance your Audeo Infinio Sphere experience with a range of compatible accessories, including the TV Connector, Phonak PartnerMic, Phonak RemoteControl, the Roger microphone portfolio, and the myPhonak app. Phonak Infinio models are charged using the Phonak ChargerGo RIC Sphere I, a dedicated charging system.
The Audeo Infinio Sphere i70 hearing aids are available in a variety of colours, including Sand Beige, Sandalwood, Chestnut, Champagne, Silver Grey, Graphite Grey, Velvet, Black, Copper, Sienna Red, and Atlantic Green.
Beyond the addition of AI, the Sphere Infinio offers a significant 10 dB signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) benefit, without requiring accessories like remote microphones.
It also reduces listening effort by 45% in quiet environments for those with moderate to severe hearing loss and decreases fatigue by 21% when the Speech Enhancer is activated. Plus, paired with Phonak’s Roger ON remote mic, the Infinio can improve speech understanding by 61%.
Durability has also been enhanced, with advanced waterproofing that boosts the hearing aids’ resilience to everyday wear and tear. Although not designed for lap swimming, tests show these hearing aids can handle occasional water exposure. Incorporating innovations from previous models, like the Phonak Lumity Life, the Infinio range promises robust and reliable performance.

If you are looking at this page then it is likely that an audiologist has suggested that you purchase this particular hearing aid, so is this the best model for you?
In general, any audiologist will always be recommending to you the model that best suits your needs. Here is a useful check list to make sure that is the case.
If in doubt, feel free to give us a call. That's what we're here for.
If you have a 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 miniscule time delays as well as the difference in 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 required. A phenomena known as “binaural summation” means that the hearing aids can be set at a lower and more natural volume setting than 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 it’s 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 it 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.
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 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.
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 are 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.
Hearing aids are easily lost, misplaced or damaged and typically are one of the most expensive personal possessions an individual can own. We offer hearing aid warranty cover for £80 per year per aid. Find out more here
