Phonak hearing aids
There is a wide variety of designs for both ITE and BTE models. Phonak's award-winning design and the numerous technical innovations that the company contributes to the hearing aid market are particularly impressive. When testing hearing aids, it quickly shows why Phonak is one of the market's leaders for hearing solutions.
In recent years, a clear trend has emerged in the industry: hearing aids are becoming more powerful and yet smaller. Phonak follows the trend, which is why their models are not only technologically advanced but especially user-friendly. With high wearing comfort and outstanding features, Phonak devices can significantly enrich everyday living with hearing impairment.
Phonak Audeo Lumity- Phonak's Best Hearing Aid
The AutoSense adaptive system installed in the Audéo models is particularly noteworthy. Every 0.4 seconds, the system checks the acoustic environment, analyzes it and automatically adjusts the settings of your device accordingly. It can choose from 200 different configurations and thus select the optimal setting for every listening situation. According to the manufacturer, AutoSense increases your speech understanding by 20%. In noisy environments, you can achieve improved speech intelligibility with AutoSense by at least 60%.
A well-known problem of hearing aid users - having to take out your hearing aids for streaming music or making phone calls through in-ear headphones. Phonak easily solves this issue through the bluetooth feature! This feature allows you to stream directly from your TV, smartphone or any other bluetooth device by pairing it with your Audéo Lumity. Then, the audio track of the chosen device is transmitted directly to and heard through your hearing aid!
Special Fields of Applications of Phonak Hearing Aids

Other Phonak accessories include:
- Roger Select - Place this microphone in the middle of the table to better follow group conversations in noisy environments. It allows you to choose which conversation you want to listen to.
- Roger Clip-on Mic - This additional microphone clips onto a speaker to give you better speech understanding.
- Phonak TV Connector - Stream audio from your TV directly through your hearing aids using the TV Connector.
