Phonak has unveiled Virto R Infinio, a compact rechargeable custom in-the-ear (ITE) hearing aid with a sleek, compact design that the brand’s Marketing VP, Oliver Frank says is “likely the smallest rechargeable ITE”.

“Users have long desired a small, discreet, and fully featured in-the-ear hearing aid,” says Frank, who believes the new product – available selectively August 12, 2025 in the USA, with widespread US availability late August, and other markets from September onward – “perfectly blends style and advanced functionality”.
