The Phonak Infinio Ultra Sphere i70 is the advanced-level Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) model in Phonak’s newest Infinio Ultra range — and it brings the same groundbreaking AI technology as the flagship i90, but at a more accessible price point.
Just like the i90, the i70 includes the world’s first dedicated hardware AI chip built purely for separating speech from background noise. The difference?
The i70 runs this AI system at medium strength, offering powerful speech-in-noise support without the premium-level price tag.
If you’re trying to understand the cost difference between the i70 and i90, our team can walk you through a clear, transparent comparison of what each level includes.
At the core of the Infinio Ultra Sphere i70 is the same dedicated AI processor found in the i90 — a chip designed solely to extract speech from noise in real time.
The key difference is processing strength.
Where the i90 runs the AI at full power, the i70 runs at medium strength:
Still excellent for noisy environments
Still far ahead of traditional hearing aids
Just slightly less aggressive than the premium i90 tier
For busy restaurants, cafés, family gatherings and open-plan offices, this means noticeably clearer speech and less listening fatigue — without needing to manually switch programs.
If you’re unsure whether medium or full strength is best for you, our audiologists can help you compare both models during a no-obligation hearing consultation.
Powered by the AI chip, Spheric Speech Clarity 2.0 enhances voices from all directions — not just the front — so you can follow group conversations with ease.
At the i70 level, the system runs at an advanced setting, meaning:
Strong performance in noise
Support for multiple talkers
Less concentration is needed in busy places
It’s ideal for people who want meaningful improvements in noisy environments without paying for the premium-tier processing of the i90.
The i70 includes Phonak’s newest automatic environment-detection system. Trained using advanced AI methods, AutoSense OS 7.0:
Detects your environment
Adjusts processing automatically
Handles transitions smoothly and naturally
Whether you move from quiet to noise, indoors to outdoors, or from a conversation to music, the system adapts without any effort on your part.
Phonak’s latest fitting prescription, APD 3.0, delivers:
More accurate gain for each frequency
Faster calculations
A more natural sound quality overall
It’s a behind-the-scenes improvement that ensures the i70 is precisely tuned for your individual hearing profile.
The i70 supports true universal Bluetooth for:
iPhone
Android
Tablets
Laptops
You can pair two devices at once, making it easy to switch between your phone and computer.
The extended Bluetooth range offers double the distance of previous Phonak models, reducing dropouts and connection issues.
Two-way streaming means you can use the hearing aids as a hands-free headset — hearing and speaking through them during calls.
The i70 is future-ready with Auracast support, a next-generation broadcast audio system that will let you connect directly to public sound sources such as:
TVs
Cinemas
Transport hubs
Public venues
It’s not widely available yet, but the i70 is prepared for when it becomes mainstream.
You can answer calls, control streaming, or activate features simply by double-tapping the hearing aids. It’s quick, responsive and avoids fumbling for your phone.
The i70 is compatible with Phonak’s patented EasyGuard domes, which help reduce wax blockages and simplify day-to-day maintenance.
With an IP68 rating, the i70 is protected against:
Rain
Sweat
Dust
Accidental splashes
(Like all hearing aids, it’s not designed for swimming.)
The Phonak Infinio Ultra Sphere i70 is ideal if you:
Struggle in noise, but don’t need the full power of the i90
Want advanced AI technology at a more affordable level
Attend restaurants, social events or group conversations regularly
Want strong Bluetooth performance for calls and streaming
Prefer an advanced balance of performance and value
If you’d like to compare the i70 and i90, you can book a consultation and test both models side by side with no obligation to purchase.
