Phonak’s latest generation hearing aid, the Audéo EON Sphere, launched in 2026 and is built around their new HYPERSONIC processor running Spheric Speech Clarity 3.0 — separating speech from background noise in real time. Compared to its predecessor, the Sphere Infinio, EON Sphere arrives in a noticeably smaller, more comfortable design without giving up Phonak’s class-leading speech-in-noise performance.

• Automatically switches into a dedicated loud-noise programme and stays there through brief lulls in conversation, rather than switching back and forth
• Universal Bluetooth connectivity to virtually any Bluetooth-enabled phone or device, for streaming calls, music and audio
• Hands-free calling directly through the hearing aids’ own microphones
• Connects to two Bluetooth devices at once and can stay paired with up to eight
• EasyGuard dome system offers class-leading wax protection, simplifying cleaning and maintenance and increasing reliability

Signia’s newest platform, MaX, is the first hearing aid platform to run four dedicated AI networks (DNNs) working together in real time: a Speech DNN, Noise DNN, Scene DNN and Own Voice DNN. Together they isolate the voices you want to hear, reduce distracting background sound, read the room and adapt instantly, and keep your own voice sounding natural throughout the day.

• Speech DNN — isolates the voices you want to hear
• Noise DNN — reduces distracting background sound
• Scene DNN — reads the listening environment and adapts instantly
• Own Voice DNN — keeps your own voice sounding natural, without the “boomy” sound some hearing aids produce

Allure AI RIC with Clarity Boost is Widex’s first hearing aid with a dedicated AI co-processor — a third-generation audio-specific deep neural network built to separate speech from background noise. Unlike an “always-on” AI approach, Widex has kept Clarity Boost as something wearers switch on themselves, with a simple tap on the hearing aid or the app, when they want extra help in noisy environments — preserving the natural, low-delay sound Widex is known for the rest of the time.

• Dedicated AI co-processor (Clarity Boost) for speech clarity in noise, activated on demand
• Preserves Widex’s natural, low-delay sound during everyday listening
• Sleek receiver-in-canal design with a choice of receiver lengths and ear tips for a personalised fit
• Fitted and fine-tuned using the updated Compass Cloud 2.0 platform for more precise, ongoing personalisation
