Key Features of Phonak Audéo Infinio for Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)
DEEPSONIC™ AI Chip: Enhancing Speech Clarity 
- The DEEPSONIC™ chip found in the Phonak Audéo Infinio is specifically designed to help people better discern speech in noisy environments. Utilizing real-time AI technology, the chip differentiates speech from background noise, enabling users to engage in conversations more effortlessly. Even individuals with Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) who have normal peripheral hearing sensitivity can benefit from this enhancement in the clarity of voices, allowing them to concentrate among distractions.
- The Audeo Infinio performs 7.7 million operations per second, adjusting in real-time to focus on speech and cut through distractions, delivering a 10 dB improvement in signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). This means that speech is not only noticeably louder than background sounds, it makes it clearer, giving users with APD a significant edge in environments like busy classrooms, group conversations, or crowded restaurants.
Roger Technology: Direct Speech Transmission
- Roger technology by Phonak uses advanced digital signal processing to transmit speech directly to hearing aids, offering significant improvement in speech understanding in challenging listening environments, especially those with background noise or distant speakers. While the Roger microphone itself is an external device, the Audeo hearing aids are equipped with RogerDirect, allowing them to seamlessly receive the signal from any compatible Roger transmitter without the need for additional receivers.
- Unlike traditional FM systems, Roger continuously analyzes the sound environment and automatically adjusts to optimize speech clarity, providing a more precise and interference-free signal. This digital adaptation ensures clearer speech even in noisy settings, making it superior for users with auditory processing difficulties who need enhanced clarity in complex situations
- For individuals with APD, Roger’s unparalleled ability to preserve speech clarity makes it an essential tool in complex environments. By bypassing the noise and delivering the speech signal directly to the listener’s ears, Roger significantly improves speech understanding by up to 61%, especially in challenging settings like classrooms, meetings, or social gatherings where hearing key speakers can be difficult.
AutoSense OS 6.0: Adaptive Listening
- A user-friendly feature of the Phonak Audéo Infinio is AutoSense OS 6.0, which automatically adapts to varying listening environments. Whether in a quiet room, a noisy restaurant, or transitioning between different settings, AutoSense analyzes surrounding sounds and adjusts the hearing aids for optimal clarity.
- This feature can be particularly advantageous for those with auditory processing issues, as it reduces the effort required to listen and focus. With AutoSense seamlessly adjusting to changing listening needs, there is no need to manually change programs or settings. AutoSense does the work for you, helping to reduce listening fatigue.
Bluetooth Connectivity: Simplified Streaming
- While not the primary feature for auditory processing disorder, Bluetooth connectivity provides added convenience for everyday life. It enables users to connect their hearing aids to any Bluetooth-enabled devices such as smartphones, tablets, or laptops, making it easier to stream calls, music, or videos directly into their ears. This is particularly helpful for individuals who rely on digital tools like audiobooks, podcasts, or speech-to-text apps to support their auditory processing abilities.
Phonak Audéo Infinio hearing aids are a game-changer for individuals with auditory processing disorders.
These innovative hearing aids are designed to help manage complex listening environments by providing features such as the DEEPSONIC AI chip, which enhances speech clarity, and Roger technology, which delivers direct speech. The goal is to make conversations more accessible and reduce the strain of filtering out background noise. Even individuals with normal or near-normal hearing sensitivity can benefit from the intelligent automatic adjustments provided by Audéo Infinio, ensuring they don’t miss key information and can fully participate in conversations. By enhancing speech clarity and reducing the effort required to listen, the Phonak Audéo Infinio aims to help individuals with APD stay more focused, engaged, and less fatigued throughout their day.
