Phonak Hearing Aids

The Latest: Phonak Audéo EON

Phonak announced Audéo EON in August 2026, with Australian availability following from September 2026. It replaces the Audéo Sphere Infinio as Phonak’s flagship.

What’s new

1. New HYPERSONIC chip. Phonak’s own chip runs its deep neural network (DNN) while using much less power.
2. Spheric Speech Clarity 3.0. The AI separates speech from background noise in real time, from any direction. Phonak says wearers are twice as likely to understand every word, with up to 37% less listening effort than its previous StereoZoom 2.0 technology.
3. Smaller and lighter. Phonak says EON Sphere is 25% smaller and 20% lighter than the original Sphere, so the AI benefits now come in a more discreet hearing aid.
4. AutoSense OS AI. The hearing aid recognises where you are and adjusts automatically.
5. WindBlock 2.0. Phonak says it can reduce wind noise by up to 50 dB.
6. Battery and connectivity. Up to 38 hours on a charge (less with heavy streaming and AI use), Bluetooth to virtually any phone, two active connections, Roger and Auracast.

EON models

1. Audéo EON Sphere: the flagship, with Spheric Speech Clarity.
2. Audéo EON R: rechargeable receiver-in-canal.
3. CROS EON R: for people with no usable hearing in one ear.

The Phonak Range

1. Audéo EON: the 2026 receiver-in-canal range (Sphere, R and CROS).
2. Audéo Infinio and Sphere Infinio: the previous generation, still a strong option. Phonak plans to add Auracast to these by firmware update.
3. Virto R Infinio: a rechargeable custom hearing aid made from an impression of your ear.
4. Naída Lumity: powerful behind-the-ear hearing aids for severe to profound hearing loss.
5. Sky Lumity: Phonak’s hearing aids designed for children.
6. Roger: wireless microphones that send a speaker’s voice straight to your hearing aids, in meetings, lectures, classrooms and noisy places.

4. Children, and people with hearing in only one ear.

Apps, Remote Care and Tinnitus Support

Why Get Your Phonak Hearing Aids Fitted at NeuroAudiology

A hearing aid is only as good as the person fitting it. The same device can sound completely different depending on how it’s programmed, so the fitting matters as much as the brand.

1. We test first. A full diagnostic hearing assessment by an audiologist comes before any recommendation. Medicare rebates may apply.
2. We fit several leading brands. That means we recommend what suits your hearing, lifestyle and budget, not one manufacturer’s catalogue.
3. Programmed to your results. Your hearing aids are set up from your own hearing test, then fine-tuned at follow-up visits as your brain adjusts.
4. Government subsidised options. Eligible pensioners and DVA card holders can access subsidised hearing aids through the Hearing Services Program. We check your eligibility and handle the paperwork.
5. Ongoing care. Follow-up appointments, fine-tuning, cleaning and remote adjustments are part of the service, at five clinics across Sydney.
