I’m looking at the options for a rechargeable ITE hearing aid that I can pair with my iPhone and Apple Watch for streaming audiobooks and these seem like a suitable candidate.
Has anyone seen any notion of a release date for these or know of a similar product.
They’re coming and I believe worth waiting for. The delay is because of the big demand for the other Infinio models. All the tech issues with Virto are resolved and production is ready to go after things calm down. Right now Sphere and RIC is taking up production. I’ve had impressions taken and am waiting.
Has anyone tried this Virto Infinio in meantime?
These have really fallen off the radar haven’t they. They were due out in Nov and my audiologist tells me Phonak came back saying no idea of release date. I did consider the Starkey genesis range for ITE devices but I would like the ability to tweak them with bluetooth etc. I’m excited for these as they should be the 1st fully functional in the ear devices. If we ever see/hear them that is 
Recently I talked with Phonak in The Netherlands. They said that the Virto I-Titanium and Virto I-10NW will be released on 16 January 2025, and the Virto I-R after the summer 2025.
I assume the r stands for rechargeable? that’s interesting if so that they’re still making battery operated models, I thought they were phasing all those out now. I wonder if the battery operated will also come in titanium or if that would make any sort of difference to the size.
Virto I-Titanium and Virto I-10NW are battery models, the Virto I-R is rechargeable.
