AutoSense OS 5.0: 700 Scans Per Second
The Naida Lumity is powered by AutoSense OS 5.0, an intelligent operating system that acts like an automatic pilot for your hearing. It analyzes the sounds around you 700 times per second, identifying whether you are in a quiet room, a noisy restaurant, listening to music, or in a conversation, then seamlessly applies the optimal settings so you don't have to make manual adjustments. The result of 22 years of Phonak innovation, the system draws from more than 200 automatic settings and blends features smoothly as your environment changes.
How AutoSense works for you: It focuses on speech from any direction for better conversations, continuously analyzes your acoustic environment in real time, automatically applies the optimal blend of features from more than 200 settings, and transitions seamlessly between programs so you experience natural sound as you move through your day. Pair with the myPhonak app to fine-tune volume, programs, and settings right from your smartphone.
SmartSpeech Technology: Clear Speech in Noise
SmartSpeech Technology is the speech enhancement system at the heart of the Naida Lumity. For people with severe to profound hearing loss, the challenge is not just making sounds louder but making speech understandable, especially in noisy environments. Unlike traditional noise reduction that turns down overall volume - often taking speech clarity with it - SmartSpeech identifies the speech signal you are trying to follow, even from beside you, and protects it while reducing competing noise from other directions.
It operates in real time, boosting the frequencies most important for speech understanding, compressing dynamic range so soft and loud sounds remain comfortable, and applying directional focus to prioritize the speaker in front of you. For power users, this means speech that might otherwise be muddy or overwhelming becomes clearer and more natural.
- Speech Enhancement: Boosts the speech signal so conversations remain clear even when background noise is present.
- Noise Reduction: Identifies and attenuates competing background sounds without sacrificing speech intelligibility.
- Directional Focus: Narrows the listening beam to the speaker you want to hear, reducing interference from other directions.
- Speech Enhancer: Lifts soft speech sounds often lost with profound hearing loss, so quiet voices and distant conversations remain audible.
SmartSpeech makes a real difference in busy restaurants, family gatherings, open offices, worship services, lectures, and parties - the everyday situations that severe to profound hearing loss tends to make difficult. Our hearing care professionals can demonstrate it during your fitting appointment.
Universal Bluetooth Connectivity
The Naida Lumity offers universal Bluetooth hearing aids connectivity, compatible with iOS, Android, and virtually any Bluetooth-enabled device. You can stream phone calls, music, podcasts, and media directly to your hearing aids, eliminating the need for an intermediate streamer. Hands-free calling uses the hearing aid microphones to pick up your voice, and you can pair up to eight devices with two simultaneous connections. The Phonak myPhonak app gives you fine-grained control over volume, listening programs, an equalizer for bass and treble, speech focus, and even remote support from your hearing care professional - all from your smartphone.
Rechargeable Battery for All-Day Power
Say goodbye to the hassle of changing tiny disposable batteries. The rechargeable Naida Lumity models feature a powerful, integrated lithium-ion battery designed for a full day of use, including streaming. Simply dock your hearing aids at night and wake up to a full day of power. For power users who rely on their hearing aids every waking hour, reliable battery life is essential.
- 16 Hours of Use: A full charge provides up to 16 hours of hearing on a single charge, including streaming.
- 30-Minute Quick Charge: A 30-minute quick charge delivers up to 6 hours of use when you need power fast.
- 6-Year Battery Life: The lithium-ion battery is designed to last up to 6 years under typical daily use, matching the typical life of a hearing aid.
Charge your hearing aids every night, keep the charging contacts clean, and avoid extreme temperatures to maximize battery longevity. Learn more about the benefits of rechargeable hearing aids from our experts.
