The chip cuts power use by 37% versus the prior generation, enabling a device 25% smaller, 20% lighter, and rated for 38 hours of battery life. The lineup adds WindBlock 2.0 for wind noise reduction and supports Auracast broadcast audio alongside Bluetooth Classic and Roger Direct. Three configurations ship starting in the US, with more markets following in September; pricing is not published, as is typical for clinician-sold hearing aids. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What is Phonak's new HYPERSONIC chip in the EON hearing aids and what does it improve over the previous generation? HYPERSONIC is Phonak's new processor that runs two AI systems simultaneously - Spheric Speech Clarity 3.0 for real-time speech separation and AutoSense OS AI 8.0 for sound scene classification - while using 37% less power than the prior Sphere generation. This efficiency gain lets the EON devices be 25% smaller, 20% lighter, and run up to 38 hours per charge. _Engineers tracking how edge devices balance AI performance against power budgets can follow chip design trends on daily.dev._ ### What is Auracast and why does it matter for hearing aid wearers? Auracast is a broadcast audio standard within the Bluetooth LE Audio specification that lets a venue transmit audio to an unlimited number of receivers at once. It allows a museum, theatre, or airport gate to send audio directly into a hearing aid wearer's ears without a physical receiver, replacing older induction loop systems in places where assistive listening has traditionally been poor. _Developers building on Bluetooth LE Audio and Auracast can keep up with standard rollouts via daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev -
