Phonak Virto Titanium Infinio (listed by Phonak as Virto I-Titanium) is a custom-made hearing aid that can be built in an invisible-in-canal (IIC) style. It sits deep in your ear canal, so it is nearly invisible to the people around you. Its shell is made of medical-grade titanium, which Phonak says is 15 times stronger than traditional acrylic. That strength lets the walls be 50% thinner, so the hearing aid can be smaller and more discreet.
Virto Titanium runs on Phonak’s Infinio platform with AutoSense OS™ 6.0, which adjusts automatically as you move from a quiet room to a busy street. It uses a small size 10 battery and has no Bluetooth, which keeps it simple and tiny. NYC Hearing Associates audiologists will help you decide whether Virto Titanium is the right match for your hearing loss, ear canals, and lifestyle.
From your hearing evaluation and ear impressions through programming, fit checks, and follow-up visits, our team makes sure Virto Titanium is comfortable, secure, and tuned to your hearing. If Bluetooth streaming or rechargeable power matters more to you than invisibility, ask us about Phonak Audéo EON Sphere.
Virto Titanium is a strong option if discretion matters most to you, your hearing loss is in the mild to severe range, and you’re comfortable without phone streaming. An IIC also needs enough room in the ear canal, so the size and shape of your canals matter too. We’ll compare Virto Titanium with other devices after your hearing evaluation.
Yes. Hearing aids should be selected and programmed from a comprehensive hearing evaluation. We provide testing at our NYC and Garden City offices.
They’re built for different priorities. Phonak Audéo EON Sphere is a rechargeable receiver-in-canal (RIC) hearing aid that sits behind your ear. It uses Phonak AI and Spheric Speech Clarity 3.0 for speech in noise and offers Bluetooth and Auracast™ connectivity. Virto Titanium is custom-made to sit deep in your ear canal, runs on AutoSense OS™ 6.0, uses a size 10 battery, and has no Bluetooth. We’ll help you weigh invisibility against connectivity and noise features.
No. Virto Titanium uses a small size 10 disposable battery. If you’d like a rechargeable custom hearing aid, Phonak’s Virto R Infinio is rechargeable and Bluetooth-enabled, though it is a larger in-the-ear style rather than an IIC. We’ll show you how to change batteries easily at your fitting.
Virto Titanium doesn’t have Bluetooth, so it can’t stream phone calls, music, or TV audio. You can hold your phone to your ear as usual, and with the optional telecoil it can work with hearing loops and Phonak Roger microphones (through a Roger Neckloop). If streaming matters to you, we’ll talk through Phonak models that offer it.
Because Virto Titanium is custom-made, we first take impressions of your ear canals. At your fitting, we check comfort and how securely it sits, program it to your hearing prescription, and show you how to insert and remove it, change the battery, and keep it clean. Follow-up visits fine-tune the sound and fit.
Some commercial plans do cover hearing aids, but Medicare does not. We are happy to look into your insurance so you know exactly what is covered and whether anything would be out of pocket. We also offer leasing and financing with low monthly payments if that is a better fit. Book an appointment and we will get started, or upload your insurance card so we can check your benefits before you come in.
