PHONAK Hearing Aids

 The Phonak Audéo Lumity hearing aid joins the Phonak Audéo range of hearing aids. 

Audéo Lumity Smart Speech Technology is a collection of features, designed to deliver improved speech understanding in different listening environments. Phonak Lumity has been released in 3 model; Phonak Audéo Lumity L-R, Phonak Audéo Lumity L-TR and Phonak Audéo  Life Lumity all of which are rechargeable and are available in four technology levels – L30, L50, L70 and the top of the range L90

 Key Lumity features

• AutoSense OS 5.0 – New operating system within the hearing aid;
• StereoZoom 2.0 – Improved automatic directional microphone system;
• SpeechSensor – Allows for directionality focused behind the listener.
• 
  

The Audéo Lumity hearing aids are available only in Receiver-In-Canal (RIC) models but there are 3 to choose from including:

• Audéo L-R = Rechargeable RIC, no telecoil, push button;
• Audéo L-RT = Rechargeable RIC, telecoil, push button;
• Audéo L-RL = Rechargeable RIC, waterproof, no telecoil, push button.

All three of the RICs come with an IP68 rating. The Audéo L-RL has additional features, such as the absence of charging contacts, that help improve its resistance to moisture.

An IP68 rating means these aids should withstand dust, dirt, and sand, and are resistant to submersion up to a maximum depth of 1.5m (about 5 ft) underwater for up to 30 minutes (but we don’t recommend trying this!).

The Lumity hearing aids are available in 4 different technology tiers including 90 (Premium), 70 (Advanced), 50 (Standard), and 30 (Essential), and in 8 different color options. Technology tiers provide you with a choice of level of technology and offer lower cost options in the lower tiers. Which tier you chose will depend on several factors including how much you are willing or capable of paying, your lifestyle and listening needs, and your degree and type of hearing loss—especially your ability to hear in noise. Your Hearing Care Provider (HCP) can help guide you to the appropriate technology.  Be sure to discuss all your options with your HCP.

All the Lumity hearing aids can accommodate hearing losses ranging from mild to severe to profound and your HCP has a choice of 5 different receivers (speakers) to accommodate your hearing loss needs.
