The world of hearing technology continues to evolve, bringing new innovations that enhance the listening experience for those with hearing loss. At Glendora Hearing Aids & Audiology, we're excited to introduce the latest advancement from Phonak: the Infinio family of hearing aids. This new platform represents a significant leap forward in hearing aid technology, offering improved speech clarity, connectivity, and overall hearing experience.
The Phonak Infinio line includes several models designed to meet diverse hearing needs:
One of the standout features of the Phonak Infinio platform, particularly in the Sphere model, is the Spheric Speech Clarity system. This AI-based solution significantly enhances speech understanding in noisy environments. Utilizing deep neural networks (DNN), it separates speech from background noise, improving the signal-to-noise ratio by up to 10dB.
The DEEPSONIC™ neural network processing chip is at the heart of this technology. It enables real-time noise reduction while maintaining speech signal integrity. The system's DNN, trained on 22 million sound samples, processes 64 frequencies to accurately distinguish between speech and noise.
The latest version of Phonak's adaptive operating system, AutoSense OS 6.0, works in tandem with Spheric Speech Clarity. It analyzes the sound environment and determines the optimal processing path, adjusting microphone settings based on user preferences and situational needs.
Phonak Infinio excels in Bluetooth connectivity, offering universal compatibility with all Bluetooth-enabled devices. It supports both Bluetooth LE and the older Bluetooth Classic protocol, providing hands-free calling and instant connectivity with low latency. The new chip increases transmission power sixfold, ensuring stable connections over longer distances.
The Infinio platform is Auracast-ready, promising future improvements in public venue audio experiences. While this feature awaits activation through a firmware update, it showcases Phonak's commitment to future-proofing their technology.
Phonak has significantly improved the durability of the Infinio line. Following the robust standards of their Life model, the Infinio features additional microphone protection, silicon-sealed seams, and a parylene coating. These enhancements make the Infinio highly resistant to everyday wear and tear, including water and sweat exposure.
Clinical studies conducted at the Phonak Audiological Research Center (PARC) have shown impressive results. Users experienced double the likelihood of understanding speech in noisy environments compared to without the technology. Speech understanding improved by up to 36.8% compared to two leading competitor devices.
The Infinio provided a 45% reduction in listening effort in quiet listening situations for adults with moderate to severe hearing loss. Additionally, users reported 21% less fatigue when the Speech Enhancer was active, compared to when it was off.
At Glendora Hearing Aids & Audiology, we understand that every individual's hearing needs are unique. The Phonak Infinio can be tailored to meet these needs with interchangeable receiver wires, making it suitable for mild to profound hearing losses. We offer a variety of medical-grade silicon tips, ranging from open to power domes, ensuring comfort and optimal sound performance. Custom tips can also be made, significantly affecting clarity, richness, and streaming quality.
As part of our commitment to providing the best hearing care, we use Real Ear Measurements (REM) when fitting Phonak Infinio hearing aids. This gold-standard practice ensures that your hearing aids are programmed precisely to your individual hearing needs, maximizing the benefits of the advanced Infinio technology.
The Phonak Infinio is available in four technology levels to suit different lifestyles and budgets:
Each level provides progressively more advanced features, allowing us to match the technology to your specific hearing needs and lifestyle.
