The world is full of vibrant sounds, and you deserve to experience each one in full color. And you can. With the best in AI-driven hearing, the difference is clear.
Can AI hearing aids help me hear clearly in noise?
The short answer is yes. But here’s the thing: not all AI hearing aids provide the same real-life benefits.
The best AI hearing technology can help you flourish in every moment.
For instance, take Spheric Speech Clarity 2.0 (SSC 2.0) found exclusively in Sphere Infinio Ultra. Powered by precision AI, it uses a Deep Neural Network (DNN) that’s trained with over 22 million high-quality, real-world sounds. This lets it recognize and prioritize voices that matter with remarkable accuracy.
The results? Any voice. Any direction. Always clear.
In fact, it’s proven to double the chance of hearing and understanding each word.1
Step into conversations that come alive, while staying right in the center of it all.
Lively pickleball court? Bustling farmer’s market? Group dinner? Bring it on.

Can AI hearing aids enhance musical experiences?
Yes! That’s another perk of adaptive AI hearing – it brings speech, music, and everything in between to life.
Whether you’re jamming out to your favorite playlist on a walk or soaking in a live concert, Phonak AI seamlessly adjusts in real time, so you hear your very best in every moment.
The music bursts with depth and brilliance, making it easy to immerse yourself in the experience.
And thanks to universal Bluetooth connectivity, you can stream it all straight to your ears - no matter the device. Music, calls, or movies, you’ll hear it all vividly.
Do AI features drain the battery faster?
Not with the latest technology!
The next-generation Phonak AI is designed to last all day. With up to 56 hours* of clear hearing on a single charge, your good times just keep rolling from sunup to well past sundown.
That’s because Infinio Ultra Sphere devices stay energy efficient, automatically activating SSC 2.0 exactly when you need it for unprecedented speech clarity.1

When your hearing aids are designed for real life, you radiate confidence in every moment.
