What’s inside

Discover what makes our hearing loss solutions stand out.

As your clients move through different listening environments throughout the day, it is important to have an automatic operating system that can adapt. That’s AutoSense OS.

How it works

AutoSense OS has been trained with artificial intelligence-based machine learning to accurately identify a sound environment. It orchestrates the numerous comfort and speech understanding features in Lumity to adapt to the listener’s personal sound environment.

Main features

  • Maintains natural sound of speech
  • Adapts to different environments to help focus on conversations
  • Improves the listening experience when streaming media

Understanding one-to-one and group conversations in noise were ranked as some of the top ‘most important’ listening situations for hearing aid wearers. Phonak offers advanced directionality & noise reduction features to address these needs.

How it works

AutoSense OS 5.0 continuously scans the environment to adjust the hearing aids to meet the needs of the wearer. Depending on the situation, Phonak hearing aids have a variety of programs that can be activated to optimize hearing in noise by reducing listening effort1, improving speech understanding1, and increasing environmental awareness.

Products that feature Directionality & Noise Reduction

Audeo Lumity–>

Main features

  • Dynamic Noise Cancellation is a spatial noise canceller that works in combination with directional microphones to make it easier to hear in noise.1
  • Motion Sensor Hearing detects when the wearer is moving to optimize hearing in noise on the go.
  • SpeechSensor detects the main speech source and adjusts the microphone mode accordingly to ensure better access to speech from the sides and back.1
  • StereoZoom 2.0 is a binaural adaptive directional microphone system that offers greater focus on speech from the front in noisy environments.

The world is full of high-frequency sounds, which are the first sounds we lose as we get older. Your clients need a frequency compression algorithm that can help: SoundRecover2.

How it works

SoundRecover2 aims to restore the audibility of high-frequency sounds while leaving intact the low-frequency

structures important for good sound quality. This is accomplished by compressing high-frequency sounds to a lower cut-off frequency.

Products that feature SoundRecover2

Audeo Lumity–>

Main features

  • Gives access to high-frequency sounds enjoyed in daily life
  • Provides awareness of important high frequency signals in the environment
  • Contributes to speech understanding

Understanding soft speech is sometimes overlooked as a need, but soft-spoken conversations are just as important as louder ones. Speech Enhancer makes it easier for your clients to hear soft or distant speech in quiet.

How it works

When Speech Enhancer detects soft or distant speech in a quiet environment, up to 10 dB of additional gain is applied to the incoming speech signal.

Products that feature Speech Enhancer

Audeo Lumity–>

Main features

  • Automatically activates when soft speech is detected
  • Specifically targets soft and distant speech in quiet

Understanding speech while watching TV is a top need of those with hearing loss. TV Connector can help improve the TV listening experience for your clients wearing Phonak hearing aids.

How it works

The Phonak TV Connector plugs into many televisions and media players via the auxiliary or optical ports. It will then stream media directly to connected Phonak hearing aids. This gives the wearer independent control of the volume and environmental balance, and the flexibility to enjoy TV on their terms.

Where it’s used

TV Connector can be used in TVs and other media players around the home, office, or even at school.

Phonak ActiveVent™ Receiver is the world’s first intelligent hearing aid receiver and attaches to Audéo Lumity hearing aids. It intelligently combines the hearing performance of a closed fit with the comfort of an open fit.

How it works

This innovative receiver technology features a mechanically switching vent that is seamlessly steered by AutoSense OS™ 4.0 and newer versions. ActiveVent intelligently balances speech clarity in noise and listening comfort. The combination of Lumity with ActiveVent Receiver provides, on average, 10% better speech understanding in noise* while providing natural sound in everyday listening situations.

Understanding speech from a distance and in noise are rated as some of the most important needs by those with hearing loss. Roger, your client’s ‘third ear,’ can help.

How it works

Roger measures the surrounding noise level and adapts the volume of the microphone accordingly. As the noise level increases or decreases, the microphone will continue to adapt, so that it can handle the dynamic nature of noisy environments. Roger microphones can provide:

  • 3x better speech intelligibility in noise versus hearing aids alone.1
  • Better hearing in a variety of listening situations.
  • Compatibility with virtually any hearing aid or cochlear implant with a telecoil.

 

Where it’s used

Anywhere that background noise, distance, or the combination of the two is causing problems with communication. Roger is great for use at home, in the workplace, at restaurants or museums, social events, at school, or even on the go.
