Test report: Phonak Audeo Infinio Sphere 70 R

The Phonak Audeo Infinio Sphere 70 R in review

This test report is about the Audeo Infinio Sphere 70 R. It was developed by Phonak and covers mild, moderate, and severe hearing needs. This variant is worn behind the ear. Audeo Infinio Sphere 70 R is a suitably sized hearing aid at the highest quality level. We achieve clean sound transmission through the speaker positioned in the ear canal, close to the eardrum.

Hearing comfort

First, we assess the hearing comfort features. What types of sounds does the hearing aid recognize? How does it handle them? Is the hearing aid suitable for a varied daily life? With this test device, we were impressed by the excellent sound management. As with all hearing aids, we also find the typical noise suppression here. It aims to reduce monotonous, noisy background sounds to the point where they no longer dominate. With the Audeo Infinio Sphere 70 R, you can be absolutely satisfied with the noise reduction. On one hand, it has a remarkable depth of regulation, meaning it can significantly reduce sounds. On the other hand, it can be adjusted in several stages, as you don’t always need complete attenuation.

Some hearing aids reach their limits when the wind whistles over the microphones outside. This can get quite loud. But Phonak has something to combat this, namely a highly damping, adjustable wind noise suppression. It works very well and helps all those who enjoy being outdoors. Additionally, we are surprised at how well the impulse sound management works here. Nothing crashes, nothing rattles – very good! One of the most important evaluation criteria in a hearing aid is the number of frequency bands. These determine the fine-tuning possibilities. The Audeo Infinio Sphere 70 R has the best prerequisites with 20 bands to achieve a precise sound result. Even in the following years, you can continue to make differentiated adjustments. A real highlight of this device is spatial hearing. Recognizing directions, estimating distances – with the Audeo Infinio Sphere 70 R, all of this is no problem.

Speech in noisy environments is always a challenge. Phonak addresses this issue by using artificial intelligence. The result is brilliant and clear speech transmission, while the background noises still come through realistically loud to the ear.

Rating Hearing comfort: 1,2

Operation & connectivity

The operation options for hearing aids today are as simple or as complex as anyone would like. The basic functions run fully automatically, of course. We wanted to know how users can further access the Audeo Infinio Sphere 70 R. There is a button directly on the hearing aid. It can be used to adjust the volume or activate additional hearing programs. It can be programmed according to customer preferences. Using it is, of course, optional. Those who prefer not to touch their ear to adjust the volume will appreciate the optional remote control. This allows for comfortable and discreet adjustments to the hearing aid.

Voice control of devices is widespread in other areas, and now it is also available for hearing aids. The Audeo Infinio Sphere 70 R can adjust the volume or switch to another hearing program with a simple voice command. More and more functionalities are being incorporated into hearing aids that are already familiar from other areas. In the Audeo Infinio Sphere 70 R, this is the tap control. It is sufficient to briefly tap the ear shell with your fingers or the flat of your hand to trigger a command. This could be, for example, the start of a transmission from the TV adapter. Your hearing care professional will help you find the appropriate function.

Operating the Audeo Infinio Sphere 70 R is relatively easy through the accompanying app. It comes with a wealth of additional features and has impressed us quite a bit. We particularly enjoyed using the equalizer during testing. As a normally hearing person, one might even feel a bit envious, as such features are not yet found in wireless headphones. The Audeo Infinio Sphere 70 comes with a 2.4 GHz antenna and allows us to enjoy binaural phone calls. This even gives us an advantage over normally hearing individuals. We think this is great and are happy to give it points.

Rating Operation & connectivity: 1,0

Simplicity & security

No matter how great the hearing aid sounds: nothing is more unpleasant than a product that constantly presents us with obstacles in everyday life. Therefore, simplicity and safety are very important topics in our hearing aid tests: ideally, the hearing aid should operate largely independently. The performance of the Audeo Infinio Sphere 70 R is exceptionally good in this regard. It has a multitude of typical hearing situations stored, which the device recognizes on its own and always generates the appropriate setting. We are very pleased with the integrated acclimatization manager. It gradually increases the volume of the hearing aid in tiny steps until our target amplification is eventually reached. We can relax and gradually get used to the new auditory impressions.

A significant relief in everyday life is the integrated battery. This means my Audeo Infinio Sphere 70 R always has enough energy for the entire day, and I no longer have to worry that the batteries will suddenly run out in the middle of an event. A battery system is also very helpful for those with limited dexterity, as it eliminates the need to insert small button cells.

The data sheet certifies the Phonak device with an IP protection class rating of 68. This makes it one of the most resilient hearing aids on the market. Dust has no chance, and water does not penetrate the housing unless it submerges deeper than 1.5 m. However, be cautious. Shampoo, for example, alters the surface tension of water. You should also avoid saltwater. In everyday life, however, you can behave completely carefree.

Rating Simplicity & security: 1,0

Extras

As apps and the hearing aids themselves increasingly have more storage space, it is worthwhile to take a look at possible extra features. Here's the situation: Are you among those suffering from tinnitus? Then you could use the optional tinnitus program in the Audeo Infinio Sphere 70 R. Soft, gentle sounds are tuned to your hearing and engage all areas of the inner ear. It's nothing more than a distraction maneuver, and it works surprisingly well. The tinnitus fades into the general noise and no longer annoys. This is a simple but effective tool, and we give it extra points.

Phonak is keeping up with the times by providing a future-oriented feature with the remote fitting service. Busy professionals with little time can contact their audiologist online and have their hearing aids reprogrammed. Hearing aid users who have a longer journey to the specialist shop also benefit from this special service.

Sensors in the hearing aid enable features that provide real value. This model from Phonak contains such sensors and counts your steps throughout the day, for example. The data can then be viewed in the app. It’s quite possible that additional tracking features will be added through subsequent updates. You should take a closer look at the app of this Phonak device. It contains some extras that significantly expand the functionality of these hearing aids. We really think these additional features are great!
