Phonak Launches Its Smallest Rechargeable In-the-Ear Hearing Aid


Phonak, part of Sonova, has just introduced the Virto R Infinio – its very first rechargeable custom In-the-Ear (ITE) hearing aid. This breakthrough combines discretion, comfort, and advanced performance in one of the smallest rechargeable ITE devices available.

Rechargeable hearing aids have grown in popularity in recent years, now making up around half of all ITE fittings. With the Virto R Infinio, Phonak is responding to this demand, offering a discreet, tailor-made solution for those who prefer a device that looks and feels nearly invisible while still providing outstanding sound quality.

Key Benefits of the Phonak Virto R Infinio

  • Discreet, comfortable fit
    Using Phonak’s RightFit™ technology, the Virto R Infinio is up to 15% smaller than previous models, while still being fully customised to each wearer’s ear. The result is a discreet device with a 99% first-time fit accuracy – meaning fewer adjustments and more comfort from the start.
  • All-day rechargeable power
    A full charge takes just 3 hours, giving up to 30 hours of use or 16 hours with 8 hours of streaming. No more fiddling with tiny batteries – just snap into the charger and go.
  • Smarter sound in every environment
    Powered by AutoSense OS™ 7.0, trained on 18 times more real-world data than before, the device automatically adjusts to surroundings with 24% more accuracy, making conversations clearer and listening more effortless.
  • Easier conversations in noise
    With SmartSpeech™ technology, wearers can enjoy 16% better speech understanding, 45% reduced listening effort, and up to 21% less end-of-day fatigue. Perfect for busy restaurants, family gatherings, and other noisy environments.
  • Universal connectivity
    Built on the new Phonak ERA chip, the Virto R Infinio connects seamlessly to all Bluetooth®-enabled devices, including smartphones, tablets, laptops, and TVs – now with faster, one-step pairing.

The Phonak Virto R Infinio launches in the US in August 2025, with wider global availability from September 2025 onwards.
