The full collection of new Lumity devices.

If you’re looking to cater to a range of patients’ needs, be it severe-to-profound hearing loss, unilateral hearing loss, or pediatric patients, then it’s time to better understand the latest advancements in the Phonak Lumity platform. The latest portfolio of products from Phonak is specifically designed to address the unique needs of your patients who have complex listening needs.

As you may be aware, Phonak introduced Lumity just one year ago, and globally our customers have already fit over 1.5 million Lumity devices! Let’s walk through Phonak’s new Lumity products, which will help your practice grow and better cater to the patient experience. This product offering will allow your patients to not only connect to their devices, but to connect with the world around them.

Addressing Severe-to-Profound Hearing Loss

Patients with severe-to-profound hearing loss have distinct needs, including:

  • A loss of auditory resolution
  • High-frequency hearing, and
  • Difficulties in noisy environments

The new Naída Lumity is specifically designed to:

  • Prioritize speech understanding with SmartSpeech Technology
  • Offers a rechargeable PR model and an ultra-powerful UP model with a 675 battery

These features ensure that patients with varying degrees of hearing loss can benefit from the new Lumity technology. When combined with a Roger microphone, individuals with more significant hearing loss can communicate effectively in a wider range of situations than ever before.

Empowering Those with Unilateral Hearing Loss

Unilateral hearing loss presents unique difficulties in localizing sounds and understanding speech.

Phonak CROS Lumity is equipped with StereoZoom 2.0, a cutting-edge feature that enhances speech understanding in diffuse noise. Universal Connectivity allows for seamless connections to any Bluetooth® device, enabling hands-free phone calls. CROS Lumity is compatible with the myPhonak and myPhonak Junior apps, offering a range of customization options. This device also works seamlessly with most rechargeable Lumity RICs and BTEs, providing the necessary flexibility patients with unilateral hearing loss desire.

Phonak’s Pediatric Excellence Continues with Sky Lumity

Phonak has a long-standing history of excellence in pediatric audiology, and this year marks a special milestone – 50 years of serving young patients. We have developed a comprehensive range of hearing aids designed especially for children, along with a dedicated pediatric workflow. With 25 years of collaboration with the Pediatric Advisory Board, Phonak has consistently gone the extra mile to meet the unique needs of pediatric patients.

  • Tamper-proof ear hooks and battery doors,
  • LED lights for visibility to parents and teachers, and
  • A variety of mix-and-match colors for personalization.
  • A dedicated pediatric app, myPhonak Junior, which allows for further adjustments and control.
  • Universal Connectivity, so school-age children and teenagers can seamlessly transition from home to school, regardless of the devices they are using.

Innovative Commitment to the Mild-to-Moderate Hearing Loss Patient

Phonak has also made significant updates in the mild-to-moderate category with the recently released Phonak Slim. Phonak Slim is now available in lower performance levels (50 and 30), catering to a wider range of patients seeking a sleek and modern hearing aid.

Moreover, the flagship product, Audéo Lumity, now comes in fun and vibrant colors like Precious Pink, Caribbean Pirate, and Electric Green, allowing individuals to express their style while enjoying the benefits of Lumity technology.

And coming soon, CeruStop, Phonak's wax protection system, will make its return to further enhance the patient’s user experience.
