Phonak Audeo Lumity

Phonak Audeo Lumity – Hearing Aid Review 

Phonak’s NEW Audeo Lumity hearing aids build on their highly successful Paradise and Marvel platforms providing top-notch speech understanding in noise and world-class connectivity. They come in three fully rechargeable options with the Audeo Life option even having a waterproof rating of up to 50metres. This, in conjunction with their fantastic music quality and myriad of onboard controls, makes them a great option for anyone from the tech enthusiast to the set-and-forget user.

My Top 3 Features

Universal Bluetooth Streaming 

The Phonak Lumity hearing aids connect directly to all Bluetooth devices allowing users to have hands-free phone conversations, stream music and videos and have full app control on Android and Apple devices.

Unrivalled Music Streaming Quality

With its rich bass response and clear vocal quality the Phonak Lumity hearing aids have one of the best music streaming quality on the market. They pack a good mid and high clarity whilst allowing you to hear your environment well.

Leading Onboard Touch Controls

Full onboard media controls are available directly from a tap of the ear or a press of a button. This enables you to play/pause and adjust the volume without needing to use your phone. 1

Functions include:

  • Double Tap – Play/Pause Music or Trigger Siri/Google Assistant
  • Volume Up/Down – Raise or Lower the volume of music (when streaming)
    • or Raise or Lower the volume of amplification (when not streaming)

Comfort and Design

One caveat is occasionally, the double tap function will trigger when walking. If this is an ongoing issue, your audiologist can adjust the sensitivity of this setting.

Comfort and Ease of Use 

The Phonak Lumity hearing aids fit comfortably behind the ear and, from my experience, both their domes (ear-tips) and earmoulds fit well. 

Speaker Dome Options (Eartips)

As seen below, Phonak has a range of Domes and Earmoulds. With an experienced audiologist, they can select the right option to match your ear shape, hearing loss and cosmetic and dexterity needs.
