Phonak is the indisputable Bluetooth kings for many years now! I've been using Phonak aids to productively run meetings on cells and computers, and then in the evening connect to my TV and watch movies without any devices between the aids and the TV!
"get a video up well before Dr. Cliff does"--- I absolutely LOVE that!! I follow you both--you guys are the best of both worlds! I am so jealous! My clinic demo's to try before offering to my patients are already on backorder (of course!), so haven't gotten to try them quite yet😞so than you for the tutorial in advance!
Great video Matthew. Thank you. Maybe I'll give Phonak another shot. I'm wearing Lumity RIC devices now and my new audiologist at the VA is making them much better for me lately.
The one thing that I have to say about my Signia Pure C&G 7-IX HAs, is that they don’t like excessive sweating. This new Phonak devices sound like they will not struggle at all with sweat. I am also very interested on hearing users experience regarding this issue. Very impressive I must admit.
They sound incredible. I just got the Starkey Genesis ITC and I love them. But as with any hearing aids, the speech in noise is still the biggest challenge. They are better than anything I've ever had but now I want the Phonaks. Lol
Looking forward to seeing you again soon. I am loving the new angles and is that also a high res camera at the start. Mind blown, I can picture you making that 😁
I went to place my order July 2nd, l was there when my audiologist rang Phonak, we'd had problems trialling & deciding and she wanted to make sure my ear moulds from 2 months prior were still with them. Phonak told her perhaps it'd be better to wait as new tech was coming soon. Credit to Phonak, they could have said nothing & taken the £4k.
I would like to see the comparison video between. (Audéo Sphere Infinio, Infinio Virto R) I'm interested in the virto just because of ear real estate with mask , glasses, an hearing aids. I'm assuming sphere is way more powerful especially with the extra chip. Battery life will be good to know also. Nice to to see more color options. Loud colors an patterns would be cool options. For the people that are not as self conscious.
So on the Phonak web site they mention "on the go charging." but I don't see any clarification of this anywhere - does that mean these models can be charged directly from the charging case as can be done with Apple Airpods???
Yes but that's been an option since a long time. Tbh, since Marvels even when using the desktop charger + power bank additon to clip on. With Paradise Life the power bank was implemented into the station the first time.
Where are the new Phonak hearing aids for the severe to profoundly deaf users ie BTE??? I really want Phonak to focus on that segment of deaf users that are struggling to hear and bring them to the next level. I would love to have rechargeable batteries incorporated for such users as well. I was disappointed with the Audeo Lumity 90. I am still forced to use disposable batteries and I go through them nearly every 3 days if I stream heavily. Come on Phonak. Do better. This also applies to all other hearing aid manufacturers too!
I am severe to profoundly deaf and I have phonal audeo hearing aids, not this new version, mine are 4 years old. I have charageable bateries. I struggle with background noise so the new ones would be very helpful for me
@@HearingTrackercan the Naida Luminity rechargable BTE handle severe to profound hearing loss over 1k? I don’t think Phonak has any rechargeable BTE that work for profound hearing loss yet. Wish they’d just make them bigger, I’m a bigger guy anyways. I’m going to try RIC hearing aids for the first time ever, these sphere ones. Should be interesting!
Wearing the hearing aids with music on full blast and top down was the first thing I did. Incredible experience. Wind noise nonexistent, somehow! And the music didn’t lose its appeal despite the open air, I heard as if it were in a concert setting.
Eek! What a machine.really got my interest with this video. Can't wait to learn how you and your clients fitted with the Infinio Sphere get on. A question for you; with a custom ear mould, is the receiver captive, as in the mould and receiver cannot be separated, or can the receiver be disconnected/unplugged from the mould? I ask, as if its one unit, then the cost of replacing the receiver and mould is going to cost more.
Hey Jake! Yes I'm super excited and have a lot of patients waiting. It depends on the mould. C shell, theyre moulded together, slim tip they can be switched for the silicon tips. I hope that helps, Matthew
How long is the battery life ???? I just got the intent with a CROS I am in 45 day widow I said no to Phonak cuz the battery and the CROS Oticon had the win for me lol I love how the Phonak sounds tho
My father has severe hearing loss due to stroke and age. His current 4 year old Signia does practically nothing for him. I wanted to get him a new one and also get him a external microphone (he can hear phone calls the best through the BT connection on his phone) and a TV streamer. Do you think this might be the best option>? Also, how are Phonak's mic and TV streamers?
Do I understand correctly that no other hearing aid will allow you to seamlessly connect to both and iphone and ipad? Any of the aids offered by Costco?
Love it! Are the L90-specific features such as Speech in Loud Noise, SpeechSensor, and Speech Enhancer - compatible with only one HA or are two aids required for these three diff features to work? Interesting in Virto Infinio model
This is my big question. Phone call quality needs to be good for both the hearing aid wearer and those at the other end of the line. Currently I am frequently obliged to turn off Bluetooth for calls as there is too much noise for others.
Excuse me, are you suggesting that my hearing loss and the use of hearing aids could be contributing to my fugitive status? It does make sense, but I never considered that possibility. As I am currently in the market for new hearing aids, I will certainly keep this in mind.
A promising new step in this technology release -will Audiologists require any specific training to optimise the new Infinio Sphere models or will the AI element work totally independent of the typical programming process?
Thank you for your channel and hard work in helping us understand and choose the best aids. Don't be afraid to share more technical information with your audience. You look very smart in your suits.
@@HearingTracker 😮 Wow! A reply in just a few minutes on a Saturday morning. Thank you! Impressive. I've subscribed. I have the original Roger ON IN paired with Phonak Paradise P90s but I've been disappointed with it (in noisy situations like restaurants) so wanted to check out your video to see if I or my audiologist have made any mistakes in setting it up or using it. I find the sound to be unnatural and the background noise suppression to be not so good.
@@HearingTracker I was excited about the Virto Infinio release. I have had issues with BTE hearing aids...do you think this new Sphere is worth giving them another try? Or do you think the Virto Infinio custom is as good as the Sphere Infinio?
I hope they fixed the audio distortion problem I have had for 11 months between my Lumity Life and my Iphone that causes my audio to be muffled and distorted. This results in my not being understood at all. This forces me off my HA and on to the Iphone speaker, which immediately fixes the problem. The issue is, I bought these specifically for the duplex hands free function. 11 months and mostly silence from Phonak. Not sure I will ever trust them again. Though I must admit these sound interesting!
Are they making stronger receivers. Oticon has strong receivers and I’ve read intent aids can reduce noise at 12 decibels. I like phonak but they are running out of high frequency power for me
I just bought Oticon Intent just last week, I am very happy with them, my Audiologist gave me the second strongest receiver, I think there are many options of receiver power which your Audiologist can choose depending on your hearing loss. Phonak also supports different strength receivers, so my understanding (at least for my hearing loss) is getting adequate power should not be a problem regardless of who you go with, but obviously you should speak to your Audiologist to check as your hearing loss may be greater than mine.
Animal Crossing gibberish! That’s what much convo sounds like through my Apple iPod Pros Gen 2. Actually they’re not THAT bad. I need the real thing, but my insurance only covers the first $2500.
At the video end, extended testing was mentioned....salt water, chlorine pools, etc. What about airplane noise when inside a plane, and times of pressure buildup like when inside a plane?
Hi ! It isn't the same thing :) 7.7 Ghz would be the "number of cycle" the processor passes through a second. In a cycle, the processor could achieve multiple operations. OR, a unique operation could use multiple cycle to be done. Lets imagine a 1Ghz processor. It could (for ex.) do 20 times the operation : "1+1" in one cycle. So it could do 20,000 millions operations per second. BUT ! In some case, it could encounter a very difficult operation, that would take 10 cycle to perform. In that case, the same processor could do "only" 10 millions ops per sec. ""GHz"" (clock frequency) cannot let us fully compare different processors from different generations or brands. A newer model could do more operation in a cycle than an older one, so be more efficient. :)
I have two questions what’s battery life like my marvels if I get up around 8 or 9am there dead by 5pm and I work till 11pm my second question is is there any hearing aid on the market right now able to be used to take a phone call from the Apple Watch
Starting my HA research and one thing I don't see is what the highest frequency hearing aids reproduce and is this is something one should worry about? Since my late teens I have had issue hearing in a loud environments like restaurants, and after seeing this video I'm thinking these may be the ones to start with.
Well, they announced a new Virto Infinio ITE this week as well, though seems maybe that just includes the new Infinio chip and not the additional DNN chip that makes it a "sphere" model?
@@barryalanlevine It does not include the Sphere AI chip. I'm trying to find out if Phonak has plans to bring the Sphere tech to the ITE. It's a spacing issue since ITE customs (their Virto line) has limited space. While the chips are very small, the board they sit on can be bulky, so it's a matter of if they plan to integrate the Sphere board with the existing ITE/Virto board at some point, or if they don't see Sphere coming to their Virto line in the foreseeable future.
@@jazwright Yeah, that's unfortunate. Seems like something they might have done upfront, if possible. But then again, they normally delay rolling out 312 vwesions for several months, so perhaps the Virto Sphere could be waiting in the wings as well, as a 312 version might free up some space inside.
Hi Matthew, Love your videos, have watched for years, and as someone who just bought the Oticon Intent, does the Phonak Sphere Infinio improvement of (up to 10dB?) in signal-to-noise ratio, edge out Oticon Intent, which as I recall Oticon claims up to 12dB of noise suppression in complex environments, so how can I accurately compare these claims, and considering Oticon gets extra SNR improvements from its 4D sensor, does the difference become more down to the end wearers preferences or is one a clear winner in a noisy environment?
@@Pro_User_HA Thanks for the tip! I did read the Hearing Tracker article by Karl Strom. While Phonak’s claims are intriguing, they’re based on an average of their top competitors-not a direct comparison to the Oticon Intent I specifically bought. Without firsthand experience with both, it’s hard to definitively say which is better. By the way, I had a jaw-dropping moment with the Intent today-walking through a noisy construction site with wind blowing, I could easily hold a conversation and the other person (who isn’t deaf) would normally just give up talking to me in that scenario, it performed like magic!
@@eddyblatt, yeah, Oticon Intent is great! However, Phonak do made comparison with other two competitors (probably Oticon and Starkey).

By the way, I had a jaw-dropping moment with the Intent today-walking through a noisy construction site with wind blowing, I could easily hold a conversation and the other person (who isn’t deaf) would normally just give up talking to me in that scenario, it performed like magic!
@@eddyblatt, yeah, Oticon Intent is great! However, Phonak do made comparison with other two competitors (probably Oticon and Starkey). Of course, it's somewthat biased, but very interesting:
