Phonak, a global leader in hearing solutions, has launched the Phonak Slim™ Lumity, a unique and modern-looking hearing aid specially designed and contoured to make people feel more confident when wearing the devices. The introduction of Slim follows the August 2022 introduction of Phonak's flagship Lumity hearing aid line, which is the first to run on AutoSense OS™ 5.0 and delivers new speech enhancement and directional microphone features for better speech clarity—especially in background noise.

Key design and technological features of the new Phonak Lumity Slim hearing aids include:
According to Phonak, Slim is designed for the modern hearing aid wearer’s lifestyle and comfort. With a distinct left and right design, the hearing aids feature a unique 7° angle for a contoured fit behind the ear, even for those who wear glasses.
Slim Lumity is offered exclusively in four two-tone colors including Sandalwood, Silver, Graphite and Copper—all paired with Black. For enhanced ease of use, a push button provides instant access to a variety of personalization and connectivity options.
Phonak Slim, with its sleek and stylish design, aims to embrace those who have been reluctant to use hearing aids because of how they look, or how they make them feel. In fact, Phonak reports 60% of people say Phonak Slim would make them feel more confident wearing hearing aids, and more than half of people reported that Phonak Slim would improve the overall appeal of wearing hearing aids.6
"At Phonak, we believe that your hearing aids should allow you to express your unique style and individual personality to its fullest extent,” said Phonak Vice President Oliver Frank. “With the perfect combination of style and hearing performance, Phonak Slim Lumity embodies the lifestyle of modern hearing aid wearers while also boosting their confidence. By making it available on our latest Lumity platform, we’re also ensuring that Slim wearers have access to our most advanced technology, to hear better in noise, in challenging situations1-4 and over distance in quiet situations."5
Roger is an intelligent wireless technology that transmits speech directly to hearing aids or cochlear implants, helping to overcome distance and noise. New Roger On builds on the original, award-winning Roger On remote microphone with new features. With the new Headset Mode, Roger On replaces the function of a computer’s microphone. This way, Roger On can now be used as a headset for online calls, allowing two-way voice streaming when connected to a computer via USB cable.

As noted on Thursday by HearingTracker, the latest update to the myPhonak app now includes support for CROS Paradise (P) wearers. This highly anticipated update gives CROS P wearers enhanced connectivity by allowing them to conveniently control their CROS P systems via any smartphone. This includes the ability to adjust volume and Bluetooth streaming sessions, add or change programs, participate in Remote Support sessions, and more.
According to Phonak, Slim Lumity will be available in 90 and 70 performance levels to licensed hearing care professionals in select markets as of April 25, 2023. The new Roger On will be available as of June 5, and the myPhonak app is available now and supports CROS P wearers worldwide.
