Virto Infinio
$2,498 – $4,398 / pair
Per pair (ZipHearing): I30 $2,498, I50 $3,198, I70 $3,998, I90 $4,398. Some clinic-based sources quote $2,500-$4,000 PER EAR ($5,000-$8,000/pair) depending on style and location — custom products vary more by dispenser than RICs.
The Phonak Virto Infinio is a custom in-the-ear family built on Phonak's current Infinio chip, priced from $2,498 to $4,398 per pair online — though clinic pricing varies widely. The rechargeable Virto R models stream over Bluetooth 5.3 and run up to 30 hours per charge, while the titanium IIC and CIC models trade wireless features for near-invisibility.

Our Take
Custom-molded hearing aids usually lag a generation behind their behind-the-ear siblings, but Phonak put its current Infinio platform straight into this line. The family spans four styles, from invisible-in-canal up to full-shell ITE. The centerpiece is the Virto R Infinio, released in August 2025: Phonak's first rechargeable custom aid, with up to 30 hours per charge, Bluetooth 5.3 streaming from iPhone or Android, and a snap-and-charge magnetic charger. If you've avoided rechargeables because you refuse to wear anything over your ear, that combination is genuinely new.
One clear trade sits at the smallest end of the line: the titanium IIC and the CIC models, which arrived in January 2025, are non-wireless — no Bluetooth streaming — and run on disposable batteries. Phonak's Sphere AI noise processing isn't offered in the custom line at all. Pricing deserves attention too: online, a pair runs $2,498 to $4,398 depending on tech level (I30 through I90), but some clinics quote $2,500 to $4,000 per ear. Custom products vary more by dispenser than receiver-in-canal aids do, so it pays to get more than one quote.
For anyone who values a made-for-your-ear shell over having every last feature, this is the strongest custom package Phonak has offered, and its online pricing slightly undercuts the Oticon Own's $2,598 to $4,598 range at the top end. Budget shoppers may want to price the ReSound Savi, which starts around $1,300 per pair. Your hearing care professional can tell you which of the four styles suits your ear canal and hearing loss.

Phonak Virto Infinio Questions
Online, the Virto Infinio runs $2,498 to $4,398 per pair depending on technology level (I30 through I90). Some clinics quote $2,500 to $4,000 per ear instead, which can double the total, so comparing quotes matters more here than with standard styles. For that money you get Phonak's current Infinio platform in a custom shell, plus the first rechargeable custom aid Phonak has made — a real value if in-the-ear fit is your priority.
Both are custom-molded in-the-ear families. The Virto Infinio's online price of $2,498 to $4,398 per pair sits slightly below the Oticon Own's $2,598 to $4,598 range. Phonak's edge is the Virto R models: rechargeable with up to 30 hours per charge and Bluetooth 5.3 streaming from iPhone and Android. Keep in mind the smallest Virto styles — the titanium IIC and CIC — are non-wireless and use disposable batteries.
The ITE and ITC styles are. The Virto R Infinio, released in August 2025, is Phonak's first rechargeable custom hearing aid, running up to 30 hours per charge with a snap-and-charge magnetic charging system. The smallest models — the titanium IIC and the non-wireless CIC — still use disposable batteries; that's the price of getting them that small.
The wireless Virto R models can, using Bluetooth 5.3 to stream from both iPhone and Android, with adjustments handled through the myPhonak app. The titanium IIC and non-wireless CIC models cannot stream at all — they have no Bluetooth. If streaming calls and music matters to you, plan on the ITE or ITC styles rather than the smallest ones.
