The Phonak Virto Lumity Custom Lineup
Expert review by Crystal Hearing Solutions Clinical Team.
For patients who struggle to understand conversations in noisy environments, Phonak’s Lumity platform is legendary in the audiology world. But what if you want that specific speech-enhancing technology in a custom device that sits entirely inside your ear?
Today, our audiologists are reviewing the Phonak Virto Lumity product line. This family takes Phonak’s highly acclaimed SmartSpeech™ Technology and builds it into a custom-crafted shell, offering a brilliant balance of personalization, discretion, and proven background noise reduction.
What Makes the Virto Lumity Stand Out?
1. SmartSpeech™ Technology
A unique collection of features designed specifically to improve speech understanding and reduce the listening effort required in noisy environments.
2. AutoSense OS™ 5.0
Phonak’s advanced artificial intelligence continuously scans your acoustic environment, automatically blending settings to match your exact surroundings without you ever having to press a button.
3. Custom Craftsmanship
Every Virto Lumity is individually 3D-printed based on a precise physical impression of your ear canal, ensuring a secure, comfortable fit that won’t interfere with glasses or face masks.
Step 1: Choosing Your Custom Lumity Style
The Virto Lumity family offers incredible versatility based on your cosmetic preferences:
1. Virto Lumity 312 (Bluetooth Connected)
A slightly larger In-The-Ear (ITE) or In-The-Canal (ITC) model that runs on a Size 312 battery. This model includes Universal Bluetooth, allowing you to stream phone calls and media directly to your custom hearing aids. It is famously available in a sleek Black finish to look like a premium consumer earbud.
2. Virto Lumity Titanium (Invisible)
Made from ultra-strong medical-grade titanium, allowing for a 50% thinner shell. This is the ultimate choice for patients seeking a completely Invisible-in-Canal (IIC) device that focuses purely on speech clarity without wireless antennas.
3. Virto Lumity NW O (Non-Wireless)
A highly discreet, traditional acrylic custom fit designed to sit deep in the canal. It strips away Bluetooth to maintain the smallest possible footprint.
Step 2: Choosing Your Technology Tier (L30 – L90)
1. Virto Lumity L90 (Premium Tier)
Unlocks every feature in AutoSense OS 5.0, including Speech in Loud Noise and Speech in Car. Perfect for highly active individuals in the most challenging environments.
2. Virto Lumity L70 (Advanced Tier)
Delivers an excellent listening experience with advanced SmartSpeech features. Great for regular office environments and busy family functions.
3. Virto Lumity L50 (Standard Tier)
Provides standard AutoSense OS 5.0 capabilities. Performs very well in moderate background noise for daily errands and family dinners.
4. Virto Lumity L30 (Essential Tier)
Focuses purely on providing clear speech in quiet to mild noise environments. A great entry-level option for staying at home or one-on-one conversations.
Who is this hearing aid lineup best for?
The Phonak Virto Lumity family is a beautifully crafted solution for patients who prioritize proven speech enhancement in a personalized shell. It is the ideal choice if you or your loved one:
- Have mild to severe hearing loss.
