ActiveVent™ Receiver
The world’s first intelligent hearing aid receiver
ActiveVent Receiver is an innovative speaker technology, featuring a mechanically switching vent. Providing naturalness of your own voice while optimizing your hearing performance.
It is the world’s first intelligent hearing aid speaker, designed for challenging listening environments or for moments of focus. It is controlled by AutoSense OS™ 5.0 -- automatically adjusting your hearing aids to suit the environment.
Lumity features the revolutionary new ActiveVent Receiver -- a hearing aid speaker that combines comfort and hearing performance like never before. ActiveVent attaches to your Audéo Lumity rechargeable hearing aids. It blocks out noise in loud environments to optimize hearing in noisy places while providing you with a comfortable and natural listening experience in quiet.
ActiveVent incorporates a built-in vent in combination with a small disc that is moved between two positions: open and closed. A reassuring click signals that the disc has changed position.
When the disc is in the open position, environmental sound is able to pass through and thus provide listening comfort, naturalness of own-voice and awareness of environmental sounds.1
In challenging listening situations, or when streaming media, the disc moves to the closed position, blocking out environmental sound directly entering the ear, thus increasing focus on speech in front or streaming content. All this is intelligently and automatically controlled by AutoSense OS 5.0.
Care reminder
Routine care of your hearing aid will ensure optimal hearing performance and long lifetime of your devices.
It is recommended that you clean the earpiece daily with a dry soft cloth and remove wax with a soft brush. Phonak hearing aids fitted with an ActiveVent will require regular exchange of a wax filter.
