Elevating Sound Quality with the New Infinio Portfolio
Phonak continues to enhance the hearing experience with the Infinio portfolio. Powered by the advanced ERA chip, the Infinio platform offers significant enhancements, including a 93% user preference from the first fit, a 45% reduction in listening effort 1), and a 61% improvement in speech understanding when combined with Roger ON 2).
With industry-leading connectivity, the Infinio portfolio ensures seamless hands-free calls and streaming across extended distances, all while being engineered for durability to withstand everyday challenges. Phonak remains dedicated to transforming the hearing experience, empowering users to connect with the world around them.
Building on the Infinio platform, the Audéo Sphere Infinio is the worldʼs first hearing aid powered by a dedicated real-time AI chip for speech separation from noise. By addressing the critical challenge of speech understanding in noisy environments, the Audéo Sphere Infinio delivers exceptional speech clarity from any direction, achieving a 10dB improvement in Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) compared to leading competitors 1), allowing users to engage in conversations effortlessly, regardless of background noise.
Celebrating 60 years of innovation
This year Unitron proudly celebrated 60 years of innovation and dedication to helping people hear better and delivering decades of delightful experiences.
The successful Vivante™ platform was expanded with two new styles: the Stride™ V-M, the smallest and lightest Behind-The-Ear (BTE) hearing aid in the lineup, and the Stride V-SP, designed for those needing a powerful option with extended battery life. Both models utilize standard batteries, thus eliminating the need to recharge. The Remote Plus app enhances the experience by providing access to many exclusive Experience Tech Tools, including the enhanced Coach, which offers tips and reminders through convenient notifications that stay available in the app for easy, anytime access.
Additionally, Unitron introduced the Ativo hearing aids, expanding the portfolio with a competitive option in the basic segment. Available in four non-rechargeable models, Ativo supports hands-free calls and media streaming from Bluetooth® devices 1).
Attracting, empowering, and retaining the best talent
The Audiological Care Academy provides a broad range of education opportunities for hearing care professionals (HCPs) across 20 markets through its diverse and comprehensive training programs. It is an integral part of the value proposition of the Audiological Care business to current and prospective HCPs.
The global shortage of audiology professionals is a pressing industry challenge, one that is further amplified by the growing demand for hearing care worldwide. Attracting new talent to audiology, recruiting and certifying HCPs, and fostering continuous learning have never been more critical or more challenging.
In 2024, Sonovaʼs Audiological Care Academy with its global network of trainers and academies enrolled nearly 1,000 trainee HCPs worldwide across Sonova, including many from low- and middle-income countries. By investing in education and collaboration, we continue to elevate hearing care standards and empower professionals to make a meaningful impact in their communities.
Growth doesnʼt stop upon certification and continuous education remains a core focus of the Audiological Care Academy offerings. In 2024 alone, the Audiological Care Academy trained nearly 5,000 HCPs globally on the latest innovations, including smart hearing aids and the applications of Artificial Intelligence in hearing care. Furthermore, upskilling in critical areas such as cognition and its connection to hearing loss, as well as tinnitus management, remains a key component of the curriculum. Thanks to this knowledge, HCPs can provide holistic hearing care and deliver exceptional outcomes.
