Has anyone done a comparison between the NON sphere Phonak Infinio and Oticon Intent aids?
I ask because it seems all the focus has been on the spheres, and those are not yet available on the VA contract.

Since I have an appt coming up to order new aids, and I found out Sphere isn’t on the menu, I’m interested as well.

This may somewhat give a bit of knowledge about Infinio R - see third column in the graph.
Another link - take this with a grain of salt (Phonak - biased):
Just had my appointment today and won’t get the aids until December 16th, unless they call me in before then. That was the first appointment I could get at my local VA for pickup. My VA audi said she hasn’t fit any Intents, and found the Phonak aids and app to be more versatile.

In my opinion, looking at your hearing loss, Oticon Intent is the way to go. Oticon is notably better at managing high-frequency losses than Phonak. Phonak have very aggressive feedback management which will almost certainly limit the amount of high-frequency amplification that can be provided. Yes, Phonak’s connectivity and streaming quality is generally considered to be superior. Although the app is more versatile, most of my clients rarely use more than the basic funtions offered by all hearing aid applications. Hope that helps.
