Phonak
Audéo Infinio
$2,498 – $4,598 / pair
Per pair across four tech levels; clinic bundling varies.
The Phonak Audéo Infinio is a prescription rechargeable RIC hearing aid built on Phonak's newest ERA chip platform, priced at $2,498–$4,598 per pair across four technology levels. It offers up to 31 hours per charge, universal hands-free Bluetooth on iPhone and Android, and IP68 durability, and fits mild to profound hearing loss. It skips the Sphere's dedicated AI noise chip, which keeps the price lower.

What we like
- Flagship-platform sound and connectivity for less than the Sphere
- Slimmer body and longer real-world battery than the Sphere
- Four technology levels, from budget to premium
- Works with CROS Infinio for single-sided deafness — the Sphere doesn't
Worth knowing
- No DEEPSONIC AI chip, so no Spheric Speech Clarity in extreme noise
- Rechargeable only — no disposable-battery version, no telecoil in this line
- Auracast and LE Audio not enabled as of mid-2026
A great fit if you…
want current-generation Phonak sound and true hands-free calling on any phone, at a friendlier price than the flagship Sphere
Look elsewhere if you…
need maximum speech clarity in extreme noise, a telecoil for looped venues, or a disposable-battery option

- ERA chip with AutoSense OS 7.0, adapting 24% more precisely after Oct 2025 update
- Up to 31 hours per charge, per Phonak's claim
- Pairs with 8 Bluetooth devices, 2 active; hands-free calls both platforms

Our Take
Think of the Audéo Infinio as the sensible sibling in Phonak's current lineup. It runs the same new ERA chip platform as the headline-grabbing Sphere, and the October 2025 Ultra update brought AutoSense OS 7.0, which Phonak says adapts 24% more precisely to your listening situations. You get up to 31 hours per charge, hands-free calling on both iPhone and Android with up to 8 paired devices, IP68 durability, and a fitting range that stretches from mild to profound loss — all in a standard RIC body that's smaller than the Sphere.
Picture a Friday-night restaurant where three conversations compete with clattering plates — that's exactly the situation the Sphere's DEEPSONIC AI chip was built for, and it's the one thing the Audéo Infinio goes without. No AI chip means no Spheric Speech Clarity, the feature designed for genuinely extreme noise. There's also no disposable-battery version, no telecoil anywhere in the Audéo Infinio line, and Auracast and LE Audio still weren't enabled as of mid-2026. If loud rooms like that are part of your everyday life, the missing chip deserves an honest conversation with your hearing care professional.
Against the competition, it holds its own: it sits in prescription-flagship territory at $2,498–$4,598 per pair, right alongside the Oticon Intent ($2,898–$4,598) and ReSound Vivia ($2,598–$4,098). If your budget is tighter, the ReSound Savi starts around $1,300. But for most people who want Phonak's newest platform, dependable all-day battery, and phone-agnostic hands-free calls — and can live without the AI noise chip — this is the smarter buy than the Sphere.

Phonak Audéo Infinio Questions
At $2,498–$4,598 per pair across four technology levels (I30 through I90), the Audéo Infinio delivers Phonak's current ERA chip platform, up to 31 hours per charge, hands-free Bluetooth calling on iPhone and Android, and IP68 durability. You're getting flagship-generation sound without paying for the Sphere's dedicated AI chip, which makes it strong value — as long as extreme-noise performance isn't your top priority. Clinic bundling varies, so quoted prices differ.
Both are current-generation prescription RIC hearing aids at similar prices — the Audéo Infinio runs $2,498–$4,598 per pair, the Oticon Intent $2,898–$4,598. The Infinio's strengths are universal hands-free calling on both iPhone and Android, up to 31 hours of battery, CROS compatibility for single-sided deafness, and RogerDirect support for Phonak's remote-microphone system. Which sounds better to you is personal, so trying both through a clinic is the fairest test.
Both run Phonak's ERA chip and AutoSense OS 7.0, but the Sphere adds a second DEEPSONIC AI chip that powers Spheric Speech Clarity for extreme noise. The standard Audéo Infinio skips that chip, and in exchange you get a smaller body, longer real-world battery life, a lower price, and compatibility with CROS Infinio for single-sided deafness — something the Sphere doesn't offer.
No. As of mid-2026, neither Auracast nor Bluetooth LE Audio is enabled on the Audéo Infinio. It still handles streaming well through classic Bluetooth: you can pair up to 8 devices with 2 active at once, and take true hands-free calls on both iPhone and Android. But if broadcast audio in public venues matters to you, this model doesn't deliver it yet.
