Sonova launches hearing aid with real-time AI, first in market
(Reuters) -Switzerland's Sonova on Tuesday introduced a hearing aid that utilises real-time artificial intelligence to improve speech clarity from background noise, the first such product in the global market, sending its shares 5% higher. Along with the hearing aid, named Sphere Infinio, Sonova is launching a new Infinio platform. "The launch of both new platform and product should be a surprise to the market, because nobody knew this technology and this benefit (real-time AI), which is quite significant, will be available for anyone already this year," CEO Arnd Kaldowski told Reuters in an interview.
