Experience the evolution of speech understanding with Phonak SmartSpeech™ Technology

Lumity allows patients to experience the evolution of speech understanding with Phonak SmartSpeech Technology. This collection of unique-to-Phonak features is constantly working to ensure patients benefit from improved speech understanding and reduced listening effort in many situations.1,2,3

For loud noise environments when patients want to focus from the front, StereoZoom 2.0 can provide a 2.5 dB SNR improvement over StereoZoom which results in a 16% better speech understanding. 

When speech is coming from the back and sides, SpeechSensor can provide a 3.4 dB improvement in SNR from the side and a 2.5 dB improvement in SNR from the back. This provides a 15% better speech understanding from the side and back, and an 11% reduction in listening effort. This ensures that the patient remains connected to their surroundings and hears what they want to, when they want to.

AutoSense 5.0, with new activation parameters, continues to orchestrate all Lumity features to ensure an optimal balance of speech understanding and comfort. Conversations shine with Lumity.
