Nick's Phonak Audéo Lumity 90 R Review [Real User]
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 4 июл 2024
- Nick, a musician and ZipHearing customer, was recently diagnosed with mild hearing loss. He was recommended to get hearing aids by his audiologist and he chose the Phonak Lumity 90s because of their hands-free calling and Bluetooth connectivity. The hearing aids can connect to up to 8 different Bluetooth devices at the same time allowing Nick to easily switch between them. He also appreciates the two-way connection for making calls, as the microphone on the hearing aid picks up his voice. He also likes the charging case and the low-profile design of the hearing aids.

This may be the best hearing aid review I've ever seen. Excellent presentation, articulation and production. Thank you.
Great review. Just got these. My audiologist told me I'd be impressed, and she was right.
We moved from open dome to vented, and my music came back in full living color.
YES! So glad to hear that you are impressed by the lumity! The vented domes allow for les low-end frequency to "leak" out of the domes, which makes music sound richer and more lively. Thanks for watching and be sure to subscribe if you haven't done so! ruclips.net/user/Ziphearing?sub_confirmaton=1
Got these 2 days ago and I can’t believe the difference. They are expensive but I feel I have my hearing back. They do everything Nick says. My audiologist said to check out you tube videos and this is the first one I saw. Love them.
I got my lumity on Aug 17th My audiologist never told me that he felt that I already new a lot more than most people who come in to see him and that's because I googled the hearing aids 2 months before going to see him
Your review is outstanding. You give me more confidence since my Audiologist just ordered these Phonak Audeo Lumity 90R hearing aids for me. I'm a long-time hearing aid user but as I've aged, my hearing loss is now considered 'profound'. It's frightening I'll totally lose what I DO have. My Audiologist thinks this will be the best fit for my condition and your review gives me more confidence that this hearing aid is the best choice for me. Thank you.
Hi @glendahumphrey4683, 8 months later, how are the Lumity 90s treating you?
Also, did you try any other models?
My audiologist wants me to pick from these 3 choices:
Widex Moment
Phonak Lumity
Oticon Real
I'm tempted to hold out to potentially hear/see the Starkey AI 24s.
You are excellent at explaining this! Thank you! I have moderate/profound hearing loss and I think these will help me a lot. I just ordered this exact hearing aid today! 😊
Thank you so much for sharing your experience with your hearing aids!
I’m in the same situation now, where I have to decide for a hearing aid to increase life quality and after all understand conversations with way less misunderstandings. At the same time I don’t want to change my equipment every few minutes just to listen to music in one or talk to people the next moment and switch it all back.
Didn’t know there were that much differences between all those manufacturers!
Your impressions and decision making with the Phonak ones help allot, especially due to hearing it from a real life user!
Thanks once more as your review was really well done and pleasing to me as your audience!
Thanks! You can see a lot more Lumity reviews here: www.ziphearing.com/phonak-audeo-lumity?
Oh my goodness. Nick explained so well on what the phonak 90s hearing aids offer. ❤❤❤❤ Your explanation
Great video. I also have the Lumity life 90s, and I primarily have mild hearing loss. I got two frequencies that dip into moderate, but the complaints you had are the same complaints I have with hearing, I am also huge on listening to music. I usually use Apple AirPod pros, and yes, the open dome does take away the crispness of good audio. Have you tried or looked into the active vent? It closes when it notices you’re streaming audio to keep that bass and high treab in your ear. I have found it helps out quite a bit.
Fantastic review 👏 I was on the fence, but I'm a musician as well and you've sold me on these. Thanks!😊

This is very helpful, thank you for the review!
Great review. Very useful comments and we'll thought out, thank you
So glad I decided to listen further as you mentioned guitar and music...as part of your review. Getting my first hearing aids and Lumity 90 top on my list. Any hints on settings and/or usage while playing electric guitar and use with Sony studio headphones? Internet says hearings aids add a chorus pedal? Also, can't I just use my air pods for when I know I just listen to music? Any thoughts greatly appreciated. Thanks for a great review well done!!!
Thank you for your review Nick. May I suggest that instead of domes you consider a molded ear piece. That will improve your music hearing ability significantly.
Excellent review, thanks.
I echo Nicks review. I have had my Lumity 70 HAa about 3 weeks. They don’t have all of the features as the Lumity 90 HAs. I though have the fitted dome ear inserts which I appreciate, most sound routed through the HA. I also considered Widex. Both are great, but liked the Bluetooth and Phone connection options.
The bluetooth and connectivity benefits of the lumity were the ultimate deciding factor in my decision! Thank you for watching and leaving a comment, we really appreciate it! Be sure to subscribe if you have not done so already! ruclips.net/user/Ziphearing?sub_confirmaton=1

Nice review. I too place importance on streaming music
Have you looked into the Phonak ActiveVent receivers that close off our ear canals and reduce lower level bass sounds escaping? Heard those will blow us away. Haven't tried them but am researching them.
Thanks for leaving a comment! I actually have the activents and love them! I did a video review as well so make sure you go check it out! ruclips.net/video/vQZO40NPfeA/видео.html
Wow, those things really disappear! I had wanted a completely-in-the-canal hearing aid, but my provider said that's not a good choice because I have good low frequency hearing, but if I just grow my hair out a little bit, I think those would be just as invisible. 👍
I had the exact same thought, my audiologist gave me the exact same argument, and I am taking the exact same strategy with my haircut.
Questions if I may: Is feedback a problem with your open domes. Also, do you experience a deep tremolo on isolated tones (I believe this is an anti- feedback symptom).
I have trouble with both on my cheaper Signia HA and need to find a replacement that allows me to hear live music untainted.
Which Signia’s are you using? I’m torn between Signia Pure AX7 and Lumity 90’s.
Have you heard/tried the ActiveVent receiver? It’s open for general hearing and closes for streaming, but it would require a closed dome or ear insert.
Here is Nick’s review on that: ruclips.net/video/vQZO40NPfeA/видео.html
Great video. Thanks
How do they fit with your glasses? My current six year old Phonaks don't seem to be far enough away from my glasses. I usually have to take my aid and put it above my glasses.
Hi Nick, Thanks for your informative video. I Understand you can stream music direct to the Hearing Aids from your phone. Can actual headphones (e.g "Over the ear") be used while wearing these hearing aids?
They could be, but it's likely to cause feedback (whistling)
Hi there, they can be, but you'd likely get feedback (whistling)
Thank you so much.
The battery life is not fantastic as you said, mine went from 100% to 20% from 8AM to 11PM, what if I went outside home for more than 16 hours without the charger case ?
You need custom molded ear buds to your receiver that way there’s no interference with the outside noise also you can customize noise reduction on the app
Thanks for the video! If you were not interested in the BlueTooth features which of the Lumity models would you recommend?
Great question! I always recommend getting the highest level of tech you can comfortably afford. If the most premium tech level is out of the budget, try and step down a level and see if you swing it! Head on over to the ZipHearing website to compare and contrast features in the different tech levels! www.ziphearing.com/phonak-audeo-lumity?
@@Ziphearing Thanks!
I have the Lumity Life 90's, which have been a really good for a first time hearing aid user! I'm still trying to get my devices such as iPad, MacBook, and AppleTV connected. I follow the steps, but no success yet! Hints? As a musician myself, I am noticing the "Bass" is almost missing. Perhaps because with my high frequency being more processed, and the open dome leaking out bass.
Hi Mark, submit a request to Phonak at this URL and they will help you: product-support.phonak.com/s/contactsupport?language=en_US
There is a receiver for those hearing aids that is open when your hearing and closes when your listening to music so you don’t loose the base but I forgot what it’s called
Have you considered the Phonak ActiveVent receiver that can be open or closed depending on whether you want to hear or shut out ambient noise or get better bass response? I looks pretty cool to me and I'm really curious to learn more. Edit: I see that you reviewed the ActiveVent at ruclips.net/video/vQZO40NPfeA/видео.htmlsi=4vMvZl_tbP1gYMXw.
I have the Lumity 50. I had them set up as well as a second visit for the computer tweak. I love them. However. One thing I noticed and you being a musician I had to ask. It seems the only time the hearing aids are not "transparent", meaning the only time they don't sound great is when I play a guitar. Acoustic OR electric. There seems to be a very high end frequency "distortion" of some kind that drives me crazy. It sounds as if there 's an overtone or something that makes it sound "sour". Very slightly. I never hear this at any other time. So far my only remedy is to shut off my hearing aids when I play. Which is not a terrible solution. However I was wondering if you experience the same thing. BTW I do not get this weird sound at any other time. Even when listening to recorded music. It's fine. My audiologist seems to think it's just an anomaly that can't be helped. Would the Lumity 70 or 90 resolve this better? Is there a tweak on the hearing aids that would fix this that's better than shutting them off?
Q for anyone: using this particular aid - would anyone be able to provide feedback on the hands-free calling? Specifically, the quality of audio the person on the other end of the call? Can they hear the person speaking through the hearing aid well? Do the microphones on the aids work well? Thanks
I have the same aids. The hands free calling works well enough in indoor and quiet environments. When there is any noise, the person on the other end will have difficulty hearing.
Hi Nick, Which Watch it is working fine as you have mentioned it worked on Watch. Please respond to understand which watches are compatible with Lumity. Appreciate for your response.
Hi, as long as your smartwatch supports Bluetooth classic (A2DP and HFP) it'll work with Audeo Lumity. With A2DP you can listen to music and with HFP you can make hand free phone calls. Please be aware that not all smart watches support these profiles.
@@Ziphearing in laymen's terms please ;-) Apple or Android?
Hi, I like your video. I born with hearing loss started as mild. I have been wearing hearing aids sjnce I was 3. Now, I have severe hearing loss. Im wearing Phonak Paradise 70. The hearing aids are ok just my right ear having trouble with background noise. I have been my new hearing aids for a year. I had my 6 months check up. Something wrong with my hearing aids and send back to Phonak. I can not wear dome ear molds. They hurt my ears. Im getting skeleton ear molds and hope get my hearing aids soon. I heard people told me they are having trouble with Phonak Paradise hearing aids.
I wish I got the lumity hearing aids because it has green hearing aids. I love color hearing aids. I dont mind show people my hearing aids.
Starkey 24 or phonic 90?
If you want closed domes to stream but open domes at other times, have you considered Phonak’s active vents?
Not only have I considered them...but i have used them AND made a video about them! Check it out! ruclips.net/video/vQZO40NPfeA/видео.html?
@@Ziphearing That's great. I have now watched it. You really are a terrific reviewer Nick. Just one more question. Can you fit your custom ear moulds in the well of the Lumity charger?
Thanks for the compliment! And yes, the titanium molds I use fit in the well inside the charger. I cannot make any guarantees that every single mold will fit, but I would presume that most would fit.
Keep sending this guy hearing aids so he can make more videos! LOL
"I have a rechargeable battery-powered portable speaker from the 90 with me. It's fantastic, but I'm afraid the battery might only last 1-2 years. Have they improved the battery compared to the Paradise device, or is there no information about that?"
I had the rechargeable Marvels before I recently got the Lumities. The battery tech is the same on both aids, and after 3.5 years of use on the Marvel's the battery life went from about ~24 hours new with no streaming to ~16 hours. With heavy streaming it went from ~18 hours to ~12 hours.
Can you adjust for certain frequencies?
Hi there! Thanks for the great question! The Phonak app on your phone will allow you to do some adjustments on your own by using a system of sliders to adjust low, middle, and high frequencies. When I first got my Lumity's, I would play around with these sliders to get a better understanding for what I liked, then, I would take those notes to my hearing specialist and work with him to fine tune those preferences. He would connect to my hearing aids and then make the changes from the program on his computer, which has many more capabilities than the phone app. Thanks for commenting and be sure to subscribe if you have not done so already! ruclips.net/user/Ziphearing?sub_confirmaton=1
