I just got Phonak Infinio I30-R -- no reviews online or comments?

[OcramSagev]

Hello:
Hi everyone,

I’m new to the forum. I recently got the Phonak Infinio I30R hearing aids to replace my rarely used Oticon Ria2 Pro.

I’ve been searching online reviews but can’t find any about the I30R. All the information I find is about the Spheres, not the I30, 50, 70, or 90 Infinio Audeo (non-Sphere). I saw a comparison table on Phonak’s website, but the jargon was technical.

What’s important for me compared to the 50, 70, or 90 that could affect my hearing?
Things that are important to me
(1) Good streaming/Bluetooth connection (so far, I am happy with this).
(2) Speech in noise.
(3) I love hearing music with very good sound.

The only thing I don't like about them are the domes (I tried all Phonak Marvel sizes) so I put the Oticon Bass 8mm and these are super comfortable. Audiologist says it is ok to do this.

Note that I’m not looking for i30 vs Sphere. There are many reviews and posts about the Sphere and I understand well the benefit they provide.
I just want to know if I a missing tons of features that could be very useful for my hearing.

Thanks in advance.
O.S.

Hi @OcramSagev Welcome;

You might find the following link useful. It will download a PDF file named → Phonak Audéo™ I Product information into your designated Windows download folder.

Oh, wait. That's the wrong document. Okay, I fixed the tricky link above.
Perhaps the levels (Premium, Advanced, Standard, Essentia) equates to (90, 70, 50, 30).

The problem with this document, as I mentioned before , is that there is plenty of technical jargon and I have no clue , from the customer point of view , if those additional features are worth thousand of $$ more that will benefit me . Yes , I see that “tap to answer” or “use Siri” but what else from the customer perspective ? Should I explore the Costco options if they are significantly better ?
