Definitely better hearing features. Thicker and heavier. Battery runs down with a lot of streaming. Then you are out of luck. Would be better to have removable batteries. Planning to replace them.
Can you confirm whether or not they are available in more than 4 colors? The brochure shows 10 different options and I would like the sienna red, but my local audiologist apparently can only choose from 4 options.
Hi yes only the 4. The closest to sienna is going to be sandalwood. There are more color options in the Lumity line including ocean blue, majesty purple, lava red, electric green, precious pink, and Caribbean pirate
After three weeks fighting with these Phonak Sphere 90I hearing aids, they will be going back to Phonak. They are worthless for speech in background noise. It's all sales hype. Very expensive mistake on my part. The other problem is they will not stay connected with my phone. 😡 VERY disappointing! Right after I got them, I attended a luncheon where there were 30 people talking over each other - two of whom were sitting next to me. I spent an hour reading the lips of the person sitting three feet across the table from me. I couldn't understand a thing she said because of the background noise. All the rave reviews are nothing more than sales hype. The connection problems are not due to an incompatibility problem with Android phone, as I had anticipated. I have the same connectivity problems with my iPhone as well. Phonak is trying to stuff too many complicated features and technology into these hearing aids. Period. They are not ready for prime time. I had such high hopes. VERY disappointing. 😔
There has been mixed reviews on these even from audiologist! We always welcome feedback to figure out what is best for our patients. At SFAA we offer 9 different manufacturers bc we know one size does not fit all, patients need options to figure out what works best for them. Thank you for your feedback!

Thank you, too, for your reply to my somewhat-limited review of the Phonak Sphere Infinio hearing aids. There are some positive aspects of these hearing aids, however the negatives far outweigh the positives. It doesn't matter how nice the TV connector works, for example, if the hearing aids won't stay connected. The primary reason I ordered this model hearing aids was for the highly touted speech in noise feature. That was a complete failure. Nothing more than sales hype. Very disappointing, to say the least. I don't believe there is a hearing aid out there that can solve the background noise problem. When the instrument amplifies sound, it amplifies ALL sound - including background noise - which cannot be separated from other sounds. I have resigned myself to the unfortunate fact that I will never be comfortable in noisy conditions, and I will have to continuously apologize to people for my having to ask them to repeat themselves because my very expensive hearing aids don't work. 🥺😡
Unfortunately this has been my experience with them. Been wearing them for a couple weeks. Maybe a little better in noisey environments, but nit that much. Certainly not worth $6K! I was VERY hopeful. 😢
@razor7241 Sorry you are experiencing the same disappointment that I had. I have tried them again, but in the meantime, I am trying Starkey's latest/greatest "Edge AI." They seem very good - better speech-in-noise, but not what I would characterize as great. Between the Phonak Sphere, Oticon Intent, and Starkey Edge AI, the Starkey is best for my needs as musician/guitarist, although my entire experience playing guitar while wearing hearing aids has been very disappointing and frustrating. I have arrived at the conclusion that my days of music performance have come to an end. 😔 I believe no hearing aid is capable of restoring my hearing to a level that would be acceptable for my needs as a musician. As for speech-in-noise, I think the Starkey Edge AI is superior to Phonak Sphere. That said, Phonak offers an accessory for hearing aids which is said to make a huge improvement in the speech-in-noise use. It is called the Roger On, 3rd edition. It supposedly works with many different brands of hearing aids. It is not exclusive to use with Phonak hearing aids. Looks very promising, HOWEVER, it is very expensive - like between $1700.00 and $2,000.00! It has many excellent functions, but more than I want to spend. Good luck in your search for the "perfect" hearing aids! Unfortunately, I think such a thing doesn't exist.

Anxious to get your opinion on this new hearing aid after you've had the chance to preview them. Also to see if it's worth updating from lumity
I have not fit one yet, but from the buzz, the reps are saying its quite the increase in speech in noise performance from the Lumity.

AI chip inside, is the dawn of a new era for hearing aid users, akin to the transformative shift from carburetors to fuel injection in automobiles.
