Jabra Hearing Aids vs. Phonak Hearing Aids

Choosing the right hearing aid isn’t just about restoring sound—it’s about improving your quality of life. With so many options available, it helps to understand how leading brands differ. Two commonly compared names in hearing care are Jabra and Phonak.

While both brands aim to make hearing more accessible, their approaches diverge significantly. Jabra focuses on consumer convenience with over-the-counter hearing aids, while Phonak emphasizes personalization and performance backed by decades of research. And now, thanks to Injoy Hearing’s telehearing model, you can access Phonak prescription hearing aids remotely, professionally programmed and delivered to your door.

Still wondering if you need hearing aids? Understand the signs. 

Jabra Hearing Aids: Accessible and App-Driven

Jabra, part of the GN Group, has entered the hearing aid market with its Enhance Select line, tailored for adults with mild to moderate hearing loss. Their goal? Offer a direct-to-consumer hearing solution that minimizes appointments and maximizes ease of use.

Sound Performance

Jabra hearing aids use SoundScape™ Technology, which enhances speech and helps reduce background noise. This works best in quieter environments—think watching TV at home, chatting in small groups, or taking phone calls. However, the sound processing isn’t adaptive, so when environments shift suddenly, you may need to manually switch settings using the app.

Design and Fit

Jabra Enhance Select devices resemble modern wireless earbuds. This earbud-style look appeals to users who prioritize aesthetics and discretion. However, style options are limited to Receiver-in-Canal (RIC) and mini-RIC, which may not suit all ears or comfort preferences.

Tech and Features

• Bluetooth streaming (optimized for iPhones)
• Rechargeable batteries with up to 30 hours of use
• IP68 water and dust resistance
• App-based volume and mode control
• Optional premium plan for remote adjustments

The mobile app allows for adjustments and basic troubleshooting. Users comfortable with tech may find this convenient, but those who want or need hands-on guidance may find the self-managed model lacking.

Ideal For:

• Tech-savvy individuals with mild hearing loss
• Users comfortable managing settings themselves
• People who prioritize cost and cosmetic appeal

Jabra delivers convenience—but it may not meet the needs of users with more complex hearing profiles or lifestyle demands.

Phonak Hearing Aids: Research-Driven Precision for Real-World Listening

Phonak stands out for its commitment to innovation and research-based design. With options for mild to profound hearing loss, Phonak hearing aids are built for adaptability, clarity, and user comfort—especially in noisy or unpredictable environments.

Now available through Injoy Hearing’s telehearing model, Phonak hearing aids can be programmed remotely by licensed providers based on your hearing test results. You skip the office visit, not the expertise.

Exceptional Speech Clarity in Noise

Phonak excels where many hearing aids struggle—speech understanding in noise. With technologies like AutoSense OS, SpeechSensor, and StereoZoom, Phonak devices detect, isolate, and amplify speech automatically, even in challenging environments.

These features are not just buzzwords. Phonak’s evidence library provides peer-reviewed data showing better outcomes for speech clarity and listening effort compared to other brands.

Spotlight on Key Phonak Models

Phonak offers a wide range of models, each designed to address unique hearing needs. Below are three standout options available through Injoy Hearing:

Phonak Sphere Infinio

The Phonak Sphere Infinio is one of Phonak’s most advanced models and is designed to deliver exceptional speech clarity, even in noisy environments. Built with the DEEPSONIC™ AI chip, this hearing aid uses intelligent sound processing to prioritize speech and reduce listening fatigue. It supports universal Bluetooth, hands-free calling, and streaming at twice the standard range. It’s also compatible with up to eight Bluetooth devices simultaneously, making it ideal for tech-savvy users who are often on the go. Sphere Infinio includes a built-in activity tracker and a convenient “Find My Hearing Aids” feature.

Phonak Audéo Infinio

The Audéo Infinio combines many of the Sphere Infinio’s technologies with Phonak’s discreet RIC (Receiver-in-Canal) design. Like the Sphere, it includes DEEPSONIC™ AI processing and hands-free calling features, but it is shaped for subtle, comfortable wear. The Audéo Infinio also includes rechargeable battery options, directional microphones for sound precision, and compatibility with Phonak’s Roger wireless accessories. It is an excellent choice for users seeking powerful performance in a compact, elegant design.

Phonak Audéo Lumity

The Audéo Lumity series showcases Phonak’s latest sound platform, AutoSense OS 5.0, which automatically adjusts to your environment in real time. Designed for challenging listening situations, it includes SpeechSensor and StereoZoom 2.0, helping users follow conversations even in busy or noisy settings. The Lumity Life version offers waterproof durability, making it ideal for active lifestyles. With universal Bluetooth, rechargeability, and compatibility with the myPhonak app, the Audéo Lumity provides a flexible, full-featured experience for everyday life.

Each of these models is available through Injoy Hearing with full telehearing support. They’re programmed based on your hearing test, shipped directly to you, and include remote follow-ups with hearing care providers—all without leaving home.
