Phonak's Latest Prescription Hearing Aids: Isolating Speech From Noise
Phonak has released its latest prescription hearing aids, the Audeo Infinio Ultra Sphere, which boast a unique Spheric Speech Clarity 2.0 system designed to enhance conversation clarity in noisy environments. These hearing aids are part of Phonak's Infinio Ultra line and feature two processing chips: the DeepSonic DNN chip for multidirectional speech processing in noise and the Era chip for core audio processing and wireless functions.
The Ultra Sphere hearing aids are teardrop-shaped, unlike traditional behind-the-ear (BTE) aids, due to the presence of extra silicon. Despite their size, they offer a surprisingly comfortable fit, even during long-term wear. The aids have an oversized profile but don't appear to impact comfort significantly.
Phonak's new hearing aid system is designed to isolate speech from noise, allowing users to focus on conversations more easily in busy environments. This is achieved through the Spheric Speech Clarity 2.0 system, which includes the DeepSonic DNN chip. The two-chip design may be better than one for certain users, but this benefit has yet to be fully quantified.
In my hands-on testing of the Ultra Sphere hearing aids, I found them to work well across various environments. They provided an appropriate level of support without overwhelming me with sound when needed. However, in quiet settings, the hearing aids occasionally hissed softly due to ambient noise. The Bluetooth streaming quality was excellent for casual music and phone calls but suffered connectivity drop-outs during media streaming.
Phonak's Infinio Ultra line also features a new device called the Roger On 3, which is a portable microphone that can amplify remote sounds into the Phonak hearing aids. This device offers unidirectional and omnidirectional modes, allowing users to focus on specific sources or pick up conversations in crowded environments.
The Phonak Audeo Infinio Ultra Sphere hearing aids are priced around $4,000 from a licensed audiologist, comparable to other top-tier options on the market. While these prices may seem steep for some, they offer significant benefits for individuals with moderate to profound hearing loss requiring tailored support and advanced features.
Ultimately, Phonak's new prescription hearing aid is designed to provide superior speech isolation in noisy environments, leveraging its cutting-edge technology to enhance conversation clarity and comfort.
