The three hearing aids in the Phonak Virto Infinio line (l to r): The Virto R rechargeable wireless in-the-ear (ITE), the battery-powered non-wireless completely in-canal (CIC), and titanium invisible-in-canal (IIC).
Virto Infinio is the latest custom in-ear hearing aid line from Phonak, part of its popular flagship Infinio family. It is powered by its ERA chip, which has been designed to provide top-notch sound quality, connectivity, robust reliability and battery life, and personalization. The two Virto CIC models were launched in January 2025, while Virto R was launched 7 months later in August. Thus, the Virto Infinio line currently includes three models:
Virto R Infinio — a rechargeable wireless in-the-ear (ITE)
Virto 10 NW O Infinio — a battery-powered non-wireless completely-in-canal (CIC), and
Virto Titanium Infinio — a battery powered CIC/IIC with a titanium shell 15 times stronger than traditional acrylic shells.
HearingTracker Audiologist Matthew Allsop reviews the Phonak Virto R Infinio in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aid.
Custom hearing aids—those that require an ear impression or 3D scan of your ear canal like Phonak Virto—have many advantages over non-custom in-ear devices. Made to match the exact contours of a person’s ear canal, they can provide more comfortable and secure fittings, improve acoustic performance and sound quality, and accommodate specific ear anatomy needs.
HearingTracker pricing information suggests Virto Infinio is offered at $2,500 to $4,000 per ear, depending on the style, technology level, and dispensing location.
Virto Infinio is powered by Phonak's latest ERA chipset, which employs APD 3.0 and AutoSense OS 6.0 or 7.0 with SmartSpeech technology. The hearing aids are designed to adapt instantly to dynamic listening environments and optimize speech understanding and listening comfort.
Virto Infinio also uses a brand-new audiological fitting model and Harman Curves—a tool typically found in headphones and loudspeakers—to find the ideal frequency response for the most natural and pleasing sound experience. It's performance also revolves around what Phonak characterizes as two new innovations as part of the customization process: RightFit modeling and acoustically optimized receiver selection.
Phonak Virto Infinio hearing aids are powered by the ERA chip that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to accurately classify the sound environment and automatically adjust its acoustic settings accordingly.
What we love about Virto Infinio
Advanced technology from a world leader in hearing aid manufacturing
APD 3.0 and AutoSense 6.0/7.0 bring sophisticated top-notch sound quality and hearing-in-noise capabilities to discreet hearing aids
Virto R ITE offers rechargeability and universal connectivity for hands-free calling and audio streaming with both Android and iOS devices
New personalization features designed to improve fit, comfort, and sound quality
IP68 ratings for all three Virto models—the highest available Ingress Protection (IP) rating possible for hearing aids for protection against dirt and moisture
Multiple color options
Titanium model for extra-robust durability
Drawbacks
Virto Infinio does not have the dedicated DEEPSONIC chip for Deep Neural Network (DNN) processing that is available in the Audéo Sphere Infinio receiver-in-canal (RIC) hearing aid.
Virto Infinio CIC and Titanium are not rechargeable and do not have any wireless capabilities (no streaming or connection with the myPhonak app)
No Size 312 or 13 battery option for larger custom products, limiting overall battery life options
Who is Virto Infinio for?
Phonak Virto is for people with most types of hearing loss, from mild to severe, who are looking for a comfortable and discreet in-ear hearing solution. The Virto CIC and Titanium CIC/IIC are essentially invisible hearing devices with sophisticated processing but lacking in perks like wireless connectivity and rechargeability due to their diminutive size. The Virto R ITE is a full-featured, rechargeable wireless device that looks and acts more like a sleek, high-tech consumer electronics hearable.
The technology found inside Phonak's ERA chip reportedly improves speech understanding by 16% and reduces listening effort by 45%. However, unlike the Audéo Sphere Infinio RIC, Virto Infinio does not have the DEEPSONIC dedicated AI chip and, therefore, can't lay claim to the same 10 dB speech-to-noise ratios (SNR) that have wowed people with Sphere.
Nevertheless, the new product's processing capabilities and benefits are still impressive. With Virto Infinio, Phonak has introduced a new biometric calibration process that results in a detailed map of the outer ear. This map, which uses about 1,600 ear-specific data points to virtually calibrate each device for optimal acoustic performance according to the individual ear's anatomy, predicts how sound is altered by the ear before it reaches the hearing aid microphone(s) located near or inside the ear canal. The new process aims to make custom devices up to 15% smaller and cut remakes and rework by approximately 20%.
Like most advanced hearing aids, Virto is fully automated, adjusting to the sound environment so you can hear conversations and reduce listening effort. All Virto aids can be controlled via the myPhonak app, onboard push-button, and tap controls, and all have Ingress Protection (IP) ratings of IP68—the highest possible level against moisture and debris/dirt for hearing aids.
Let's take a closer look at the products in the Virto Infinio custom in-ear hearing aid line.
Phonak Virto provides discreet listening with options that include rechargeability or disposable batteries and wireless or non-wireless audio streaming models.
Virto Infinio R ITE
Virto Infinio R (Virto I-R) is Phonak's latest full-featured rechargeable in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aid with Bluetooth wireless audio streaming that is offered in four technology levels (Premium 90, Advanced 70, Standard 50, and Essential 30). Designed for users who want premium sound quality without the visibility of behind-the-ear devices, it’s the smallest rechargeable ITE Phonak has ever made—and one of the tiniest on the market.
Virto R Infinio delivers top-tier sound performance and includes Phonak's StereoZoom 2.0 adaptive beamforming microphones that is said to put it on par with Phonak’s Infinio R receiver-in-canal (RIC) model relative to sound quality and speech-in-noise performance. It offers universal Bluetooth connectivity and hands-free calling for both Android and iOS devices and is available in 8 colors and 5 finishes. The device also has an LED on its faceplate that makes it look very futuristic and high-tech, and much less like a hearing aid.
HearingTracker Audiologist Matthew Allsop provides an overview of Phonak Infinio.
Virto Infinio CIC
Phonak's Virto Infinio CIC (Virto I-10 NW 0) is a completely-in-canal hearing aid that, like the Virto I Titanium below, uses a size 10 disposable battery and is designed for people looking for a discreet, nearly invisible hearing solution.
As with the Titanium IIC, this hearing aid does not offer audio streaming for music, phone calls, etc., and cannot connect to the myPhonak app. However, using the ERA chip, it has a fully automatic system and employs the advanced processing provided by APD 3.0 and AutoSense 6.0, Phonak's sophisticated sound quality and hearing-in-noise systems.
Virto Infinio Titanium CIC/IIC
Phonak Virto Infinio Titanium is the world’s only mainstream invisible-in-canal (IIC) hearing aid made of premium medical-grade titanium. In terms of its processing, it is essentially the same as the Virto Infinio CIC, except it accomplishes this in the smallest and most discreet custom hearing aid the company has ever produced, situated deep in the ear canal and out of sight. Manufactured with the latest 3D printing technology, Virto P-Titanium combines the superior strength and light weight of titanium with a comfortable fit in the ear canal. It is powered by a size 10 disposable battery.
Because of its size, Virto Titanium does not offer wireless audio streaming for music, phone calls, etc., or connectivity with the myPhonak app.
A new ERA of discreet solutions for Phonak
Phonak's previous generation of high-tech hearing aids, Phonak Lumity, did not include custom in-ear products. That means Virto Infinio—powered by the new ERA chip—has significant processing advantages over the company's previous in-ear custom products, Virto Paradise, which were launched in 2022.
And although Virto Infinio hearing aids are too small to house the DEEPSONIC chip and its impressive DNN processing, all the Virto models use the ERA chip and represent an exceptional choice for anyone seeking a discreet, high-performance hearing solution with excellent sound quality and hearing in noise capabilities.
