Imagine you have hearing loss and are sitting in a restaurant with friends. You’re straining to keep up with the conversation and their voices seem to blend in with all the background noise around you. Part of you is thinking about giving up and sitting there quietly because you’re feeling fatigued from trying to stay engaged.

Now, imagine you’re sitting at that same table with your friends. However, this time, there’s a bubble around you. Inside that bubble, you’re having a comfortable conversation and outside that bubble is that distant background noise. You know there’s a lot going on in that crowded restaurant, but it’s not much more than an afterthought, and you can carry on, comfortable, engaged and having a great time with your friends. 

This could be your experience with the new generation of Audéo Sphere™ hearing aids, available at Connect Hearing

Welcome to the future of hearing aid technology with the NEW Audéo Sphere.

The Audéo Sphere is the world’s first hearing aid with a dedicated AI chip.

In today’s technologically advanced world, most hearing aids have a chip in them that helps with speech clarity. These chips make automatic adjustments to make listening easier and amplify most of the sounds you want to hear (and even some sounds you don’t). 

However, the new Audéo Sphere™ hearing aids have two chips. The second chip – which works with Phonak’s latest ERA chip – has been named DEEPSONIC™ by Phonak. It’s the first hearing aid chip using Artificial Intelligence and is an absolute game changer. 

Phonak’s new DEEPSONIC™ chip completes over 7.7 billion operations per second and contains 53x the processing power to current industry chip technology.1, separating unwanted noise from speech. This means that when you wear the new Sphere™ hearing aids, your hearing aids are instantly adjusting to ensure a comfortable listening experience.1

Sphere significantly improves your speech understanding (from any direction) in challenging situations with “Spheric Speech Clarity.”*

Spheric Speech Clarity works exactly how it sounds. Sphere™ puts you in an invisible bubble that separates you from unwanted background noise. What Phonak calls DNN or “De-Noising,” Sphere™ delivers a level of clean and clear speech far beyond any existing hearing aids on the market today.1 

With Spheric Speech Clarity, you’re 2x more likely to understand speech, from any direction.2

With the combination of the new DEEPSONIC™ AI chip, and Spheric Speech Clarity, Audéo Sphere™ hearing aids provide a comfortable listening experience, thanks to 29% less listening effort.3 By reducing the strain of trying to hear in noisy environments, you’ll end your day with less fatigue to do the things that you love.
