Test report: Phonak Audeo Infinio 90 R

The Phonak Audeo Infinio 90 R in review

This test report is about the Audeo Infinio 90 R. It was developed by Phonak and covers light, moderate, and even severe hearing needs. This variant is worn behind the ear. The Audeo Infinio 90 R is a fairly small hearing aid of the highest quality level. We achieve clean sound transmission through the speaker, which sits directly in the ear canal.

Hearing comfort

We all agree that speech understanding is the most important task of hearing aids. However, from our experience in the hearing acoustics specialty store, we also know that hearing comfort is at least equally important. It is about processing background noise so that it does not hinder speech understanding, while still creating a natural sound picture. During the test of the Audeo Infinio 90 R, we were impressed by the excellent sound management. Let’s take a look at the individual features:

Of course, this Phonak device has noise suppression, as this has become standard. Noise suppression means that uniform and rather monotonous noises (e.g., air conditioning, vacuum cleaner...) are dampened. This device offers one of the most intense noise suppression solutions on the market. When maximally adjusted, you gain a real advantage over normally hearing individuals.

Extremely useful is the impulse sound suppression feature. It picks up all clattering, banging, and crackling noises and reliably reduces them. Phonak is likely to impress all outdoor fans with this device, as wind is not only pleasantly dampened, but speech understanding should also continue to function without problems. For a precise, natural hearing experience, the number of adjustable frequency bands is of great importance. With 20 bands, this Phonak device is a true top model and allows for differentiated fine-tuning over several years. Generally, normally hearing individuals do not think about spatial hearing. With this hearing aid, we do not have to either. A sophisticated system of directional microphones and bilateral wireless networking generates a 3D effect that closely resembles natural hearing.

By the way, you might notice that you perceive the sound from this Phonak device as clearer and more natural, especially in noisy situations. This is probably due to the implemented artificial intelligence. The hearing aid has already been trained with millions of real sounds, which leads to a significantly improved distinction between speech and noise.

Rating Hearing comfort: 1,2

Operation & connectivity

Would you like to be able to make adjustments to your hearing aids yourself? We believe it can be quite useful to have some control options. Let's take a look at how this works with the Audeo Infinio 90 R. For those who want to quickly and easily adjust the volume, there is a button on the device. You can also select additional programs for special hearing situations through it. If desired, there is a remote control for the hearing aid. This makes it easy to adjust the volume. The handling is not only child’s play, but no one will notice that you are currently adjusting your hearing aids.

The voice control was a lot of fun for us during the test of the Audeo Infinio 90 R. Most of us are already used to talking to our watch or car, so this function fits perfectly into a high-tech product worn on the ear. We are particularly thrilled with the tap control. A quick tap on the ear with your fingers and the hearing aid switches to a different mode. Here, Phonak has really taken a significant lead with its model. In our opinion, the tap control is not only contemporary but also extremely convenient.

Hearing aid apps are becoming increasingly popular. With the Audeo Infinio 90 R, we are in luck: there is a suitable app. This app completely impressed us. Not only are there numerous options to adjust the hearing aids to personal hearing preferences, but the app also offers a ton of lifestyle features. There’s no need for headphones anymore, as it has a wireless option and can transmit sounds directly from the smartphone to the ears – provided the smartphone is equipped with 2.4 GHz LE technology.

Rating Operation & connectivity: 1,0

Simplicity & security

We continue our test and try out how easy this hearing aid is to use. After all, it should simplify the everyday life of hearing aid users and not complicate it further. Ideally, the hearing aid should work largely autonomously. The performance of the Audeo Infinio 90 R is exceptionally good. It has a lot of typical hearing situations stored, which the device recognizes independently and always generates the appropriate setting. The integrated acclimatization manager can be of great help when starting out in the world of hearing aids. Its job is to gradually raise the volume of the hearing aid in tiny steps until the target volume is reached. This way, you can relax and gradually get used to the new auditory impressions. More information on acclimatization and other hearing aids with this feature can be found here: Acclimatization to Hearing Aids.

Easy handling in everyday life definitely includes power supply. The Audeo Infinio 90 R has an integrated rechargeable battery. Since a single charge lasts all day, we don't have to worry about the battery dying in the middle of a conversation.

The Audeo Infinio 90 is almost dust- and water-resistant and, with its IP 68 classification, is certainly well protected against external influences.

Rating Simplicity & security: 1,0

Extras

Sometimes it’s the little things that make a hearing aid perfect. That’s why we take a quick look at the extras that might be included: Are you among those suffering from tinnitus? Then you could use the optional tinnitus program in the Audeo Infinio 90 R. Soft, gentle sounds are tailored to your hearing and engage all areas of the inner ear. It’s nothing more than a distraction technique, and it works surprisingly well. The tinnitus fades into the general noise and is no longer annoying. It’s a simple yet effective tool and earns extra points from us.

A clever tool is the integrated remote service. Almost everyone has a smartphone, and time is a precious commodity. That’s why such a remote service is absolutely appropriate. Anyone needing a new programming of their hearing aids can easily contact the audiologist through the app and describe their hearing preferences. Through a cloud service, the professional can then send a customized setting as a data package to the app. From there, it is loaded onto the hearing aid and can be tried out immediately. That definitely earns extra points in our test.

Sensors in the hearing aid enable functions that provide real added value. This model from Phonak contains such sensors and counts, for example, your steps throughout the day. The data can then be viewed in the app. It’s quite possible that further tracking features will be added through subsequent updates. In conjunction with a smartphone, the Audeo Infinio 90 R surprises us with some nice lifestyle functions. It’s definitely worth becoming thoroughly familiar with the app and utilizing the offered assistance programs.
