Innovation was at the center of Sonova's Investor & Analyst Day today, where our CEO Arnd Kaldowski and senior leaders shared insights into the latest product launches, as well as into Sonova's business development and strategy. Over the past decades, Sonova has played a crucial role in technological breakthroughs in the hearing industry, including: the first directional microphone technology, universal Bluetooth connectivity and rechargeable instruments. In one of the two recently launched platforms, Phonak Audéo Sphere Infinio, Sonova’s technological innovation skills made a significant step for people with hearing loss possible: using real-time AI sound processing on the hearing device to significantly increase speech intelligibility in noise. "Sphere Infinio represents the most significant advancement in over ten years for addressing the biggest challenge faced by individuals with hearing loss: understanding speech in background noise. This has been reflected in the overwhelmingly positive customer response so far and further strengthens our confidence in the outlook for the full year," says Arnd Kaldowski.

That passion motivates her research into ways to improve the performance of our hearing solutions. From engineers like Teresa to HR professionals, everyone at Sonova plays their part in bringing the delight of hearing to our customers around the world.

Meet Susann Müller, an ardent packaging designer at Sonova, who is passionate about continuously improving the environmental impact of our packaging while keeping customer experience and corporate needs in check. "Our aim is to cut the weight of packaging material for hearing aids by 20% by 2026/27, even as we grow our business," Susann explains. "We’re also striving to eliminate plastic, reduce waste, and put more focus on sustainable materials. This isn’t something I can do alone – it’s a team effort." Every day, Susann collaborates with manufacturers, our customers, and colleagues, blending discussions and ideation with hands-on work to create new prototypes. One recent success: she helped reduce the packaging for our TV Connector by over 50%, saving 16 tons of material each year. When Phonak will launch the newest premium hearing aid in late summer, approximately 9.8 tons of material will be saved per year compared to the previous charger packaging. "Sonova is always looking to innovate – and that includes our packaging," Susann says, though she’s quick to credit the teamwork that makes it all possible. "We also foster cross-functional teamwork to ensure everyone’s expertise is leveraged in our sustainability efforts." Susann’s work is a critical part of our overall sustainability strategy. Her efforts help us make tangible progress toward environmental goals; however it is just one step in our ongoing journey to protect the planet.
