The new Phonak EON Sphere hearing aid promises to deliver the powerful artificial intelligence and background noise reduction that made the Infinio Sphere so impressive, while fixing many of its biggest problems. But did Phonak actually pull it off? In this detailed Phonak EON Sphere review, I put the new hearing aids to the test to see how they perform in background noise, wind, wireless connectivity, battery life, durability, and everyday listening situations. The original Infinio Sphere hearing aids delivered some of the most impressive speech separation in background noise that I had ever seen. Unfortunately, they were also unusually large, had limited battery life when using Spheric Speech Clarity, lacked Auracast at launch, and experienced receiver attachment problems. The Phonak EON Sphere attempts to address all of these issues while preserving the 10.2 dB signal to noise ratio improvement produced by Phonak’s AI powered speech and noise separation. 🔍 Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction 01:32 Versions: EON & EON Sphere 02:05 Look & Size of the EON & EON Sphere 03:28 Technology Levels 04:53 HearingUp Provider 05:33 Cost of EON & EON Sphere 06:29 Fitting Ranges 07:29 Domes vs. C-Shell Earmolds 08:57 Durability 09:27 Rechargeability 11:02 EON CROS Transmitter Battery Life 11:23 Charger: EON & EON Sphere 12:09 Tinnitus Features 12:28 NEW Hypersonic Artificial Intelligence Chip 13:26 Sound Sample: Spheric Speech Clarity 16:10 Auracast Compatibility 18:45 Phone Compatibility 19:38 MyPhonak App 20:04 AutoSense OS Ai 8.0 22:23 Accessory Options 23:12 WindBlock 2.0 24:31 APD v4.0: New Proprietary Prescription 25:44 Feedback Reduction 26:21 Programming Struggles 26:47 Real Ear Measurement is Critical 27:42 High Frequency Struggles 28:29 Is the EON & EON Sphere better than Infinio? In this video, you will learn about: • The differences between the Phonak EON and EON Sphere hearing aids • The new Hypersonic AI chip • How EON Sphere compares to Infinio Sphere • The 25% reduction in hearing aid size • Improved battery life during normal use and Spheric AI use • Spheric Speech in Loud Noise and its earlier automatic activation • Phonak AutoSense OS AI 8.0 • Auracast connectivity on Android and iPhone • Bluetooth streaming and hands free phone calls • The new Phonak CROS transmitter • WindBlock 2.0 and improved wind noise reduction • EasyGuard domes and custom C Shell earmolds • APD 4.0 and APD 4.0 Contrast • NAL NL3 programming • Feedback management improvements • The differences between EON 90, EON 70, EON 50, and EON 30 • Why technology level and professional programming matter • Why Real Ear Measurement is critical for achieving optimal performance The new EON Sphere is significantly smaller, lasts longer on a single charge, performs better in wind, activates its artificial intelligence sooner, and finally includes Auracast. Phonak also corrected the receiver connection problem that affected the previous generation. However, the EON Sphere does not provide more speech separation than the original Infinio Sphere. Its maximum performance in background noise may also require a properly fitted custom earmold instead of an open rubber dome. Ultimately, even the most advanced hearing aid cannot perform at its best unless it is selected, fitted, programmed, verified, and validated correctly. If your hearing care professional does not use comprehensive Audiologic Best Practices, including Real Ear Measurement, you may be leaving a significant amount of hearing performance on the table. 🔍 Find a HearingUp Provider: https://hearingup.com 👉 Schedule an Appointment at Applied Hearing Solutions: https://appliedhearingaz.com 👉 Visit my website: https://drcliffaud.com 💬 Question of the Day: Would the smaller size, longer battery life, improved wind reduction, and Auracast connectivity make you consider upgrading to the Phonak EON Sphere?
