About Soundly
i

Soundly is an independently owned hearing health research tool. Our reviews are conducted by hearing aid wearers and audiologists. We physically review the leading hearing aids on the market for sound quality, comfort, durability, and more. Our review process starts with hands-on unboxing and days, weeks, or months of wear. We also record live sound demos using a calibrated binaural microphone (read more here). We experiment with backend fitting software for prescription products and use test box measures to measure prescriptive accuracy and flexibility. Our work is funded through reader support. When you buy through our links, we may earn a commission. Read more about our story here.

Phonak Lumity is not the latest model from the brand. We recommend that you research the newer 2024 release, Phonak Infinio.

The Audeo Life waterproof hearing aid offers the top-end tech from the Paradise line but is specially built to withstand moisture. This waterproof option means you don't have to worry if you sweat, splash or accidentally shower in your hearing aids.

Audéo Lumity launched in August 2022 with a new operating system and several industry-leading sound processing innovations.

Lumity is made by the world's #1 manufacturer, Sonova, and is widely seen as the most connected Bluetooth hearing aid on the market.

Lumity devices allow hands-free phone calls using both Android and iPhone. The device has impressive listening tech onboard, including a motion sensor that focuses sound when you are seated and gives 360° listening when you walk around.

Lumity improves on previous Phonak generations with increased clarity in background noise. 

Pros 👍
  • Top of the line customization, Bluetooth connection and rechargeable batteries
  • Enhanced background noise reduction
  • Highly water-resistant option available for active lifestyles
Cons 👎
  • Audeo Lumity is a premium product with a premium price
  • Phonak's app can be more finicky then other models
