Phonak Infinio Ultra i30 R – Overview

The Phonak Infinio Ultra i30 R is the entry-level model in Phonak’s new Infinio Ultra lineup.

While it sits below the i50 R, i70 R, and i90 R, it still delivers reliable core performance through AI-trained automatic sound classification, universal Bluetooth connectivity, and Phonak’s latest ERA processing platform. It’s designed for people whose hearing needs are simple and consistent — ideal if you mostly spend time in calm, predictable listening environments.

For those who mainly stay at home, chat one-to-one, or spend time in quieter cafés and social settings, the i30 R offers essential functionality at Phonak’s most accessible price point.

Quick Highlights

• AI-trained AutoSense OS 7.0

• Fully rechargeable (up to 31 hours battery life)

• Universal Bluetooth connectivity

• Swiss engineered

• 12 fine-tuning channels

• IP68 water & dust resistance

• Available colours: Sand beige, sandalwood, chestnut, champagne, silver grey, graphite grey, velvet black

• Accessory compatible with: Roger On, Roger Select, Roger Table Mic, Roger Clip-On Mic, and the myPhonak app

Automatic Sound Processing for Simple, Predictable Listening

The defining feature of the Infinio Ultra i30 R is its fully automatic operation. Using AI-trained AutoSense OS 7.0, the device identifies your environment and switches between appropriate sound settings without you needing to adjust anything manually.

The i30 R includes the essential AutoSense 7.0 programs:

• Speech in Noise

• Calm Situation

• Comfort in Noise

• Speech in Car

• Music

• Streaming Speech

• Streaming Music

This ensures stable, comfortable listening throughout the day for people who don’t move between complex or highly noisy environments. Powered by the ERA chip, the i30 R delivers smooth transitions and natural sound for day-to-day situations.

AutoSense 7.0 – Simple, Automatic Support
The i30 R uses the same AutoSense 7.0 system found in the higher tiers, trained on thousands of sound environments. It automatically adjusts microphone patterns, noise reduction, and processing settings based on what you’re hearing.
However, as the entry model, the i30 R provides only the core automatic features — no advanced directional focus, enhanced noise cancellation, or motion-sensing technology.

Essential Speech, Music & Connectivity Performance

The Infinio Ultra i30 R provides clear, reliable sound for:

• One-to-one conversations

• Quiet home environments

• Light background noise

• Streaming calls, podcasts, and music

It includes 12 fine-tuning channels, giving basic fitting flexibility (fewer than the 16 channels on the i50 R, and the 20 channels on the i70/i90).
Connectivity remains strong and universal, supporting:

• iPhone

• Android

• Laptops

• Tablets

• Hands-free calling
• Bluetooth audio streaming

It is also Auracast-ready for future broadcast audio.

What You Lose When Stepping Down from the i50 to the i30

Moving from the i50 R to the i30 R means losing several features:

• No SmartSpeech Technology - The i30 does not include Speech Enhancer, Dynamic Noise Cancellation, Motion Sensor Hearing, or SpeechSensor.

• No StereoZoom (at all) - StereoZoom is not included in any form on the i30.

• Reduced noise management - Capable in light noise, but struggles in:

• Busy restaurants
• Group conversations
• Loud public spaces

• Fewer fine-tuning channels:

• i30 R: 12 channels
• i50 R: 16 channels
• No tap control - The i30 does not support tap gestures for calls or media.

• Basic automatic environment handling - Good for calm situations, but less effective in dynamic or challenging settings.

Overall, the i30 is designed for simplicity and predictability — not complexity.

Who Is the i30 R Best For?
The Infinio Ultra i30 R is ideal if you:

• Spend most of your time in quiet, calm environments

• Mainly have one-to-one or small-group conversations

• Want Phonak quality at the lowest price point

• Are new to hearing aids and want simple, automatic support

• Don’t visit noisy restaurants, pubs, or busy social environments often

• Want rechargeability and Bluetooth without advanced features

If you regularly struggle in noise or complex situations, at minimum the i50 — or preferably the i70 — will offer a noticeable improvement.

Overall
The Phonak Infinio Ultra i30 R is a solid, dependable entry-level hearing aid offering essential AI-driven automatic processing, strong Bluetooth connectivity, and easy everyday listening. While it lacks the advanced SmartSpeech features and noise-management systems found in the i50, i70, and i90 models, it remains a compelling choice for those who live a quieter, more predictable lifestyle.

If your routine involves busier social settings, louder environments, or more demanding listening conditions, stepping up to the i50 R (or ideally the i70 R) will provide more clarity and long-term value.
