Phonak Lumity is now available for all ages and hearing loss levels

Stäfa, Switzerland, February 21, 2024 – Phonak, a global leader in innovative hearing solutions, proudly announces the latest additions to its product lineup: Audéo L-312, Naída L-SP, and Sky L-M and SP. These hearing aids feature highly advanced Lumity technology, a breakthrough in addressing the primary concern of hearing aid users – improved speech understanding in noisy environments.

When paired with Roger™ technology, Naída Lumity presents a formidable combination for better hearing in noisy environments and at a distance, boasting a 61% improvement in speech understanding in group conversations (6**). Functioning like a third ear, Roger microphones help people with hearing loss learn, work and socialize more easily by transmitting a speaker’s voice directly to the listener’s hearing aids. In fact, 90% of Roger users would recommend this dynamic yet powerful pairing to friends and family (7).

The highly rated myPhonak Junior app, winner of the Hearing Technology Innovator 2023 Award in the Mobile Apps for Hearing Devices category, seamlessly integrates with a broad selection of Phonak hearing aids. This dedicated pediatric app empowers children and allows parents to monitor wearing time, schedule remote consultations, and set parental controls.

These latest additions to the Phonak Lumity product range are available as of February 21, 2024.
