Lumity 90 built in programs

@barbshop It would look similar to a very detailed equalizer or audio mixer software, reflecting x number of audio bands (the more, the better). Ideally, it would reflect clipping and at which frequency while different types of audio are played and the HAs are monitored in real time.

I haven’t looked on the Phonak site for the software yet, but i believe that software is what @tenkan is referring to (or as good as it is gonna get). Thanks for pointing me in that direction @tenkan .

Now… If only I had a laptop… I’ll have to borrow my daughter’s or one of the grands. I’ve been operating from a tablet and a smartphone for nearly 2 years.

Yes it’s called Phonak target, just check out the DIY forum as there’s plenty of information there for you.

Ty @tenkan .

I’ll leave my experiences with the diy tools in a new thread.

i will keep monitoring this thread for @barbshop experiences. @barbshop , do you find the sound very natural. Are any frequencies distorted or unpleasant so far?

Will be a full week tomorrow. So far I’ve found the sound to be very good in all the situations I’ve been in (noisy restaurants, echo chamber church, large rehearsal hall). The auto program does a very good job of identifying the environment and choosing the most appropriate pgm. The Default, automatic in calm situations is the only one that I have a small issue with. I find the sound a bit tinny and too sensitive to things like my glasses or hair brushing against the aids. I have found that I can tweak the settings in that program which helps, but I’m going to ask my audiologist if she can adjust the auto program itself. Voices have been clear and natural in most situations. In a large group setting (10 people sitting around a long table in the cavernous rehearsal hall and talking at once) is still manageable, although it takes a little more effort to avoid the feeling that they are all too loud.

Could you please tell us what “set up properly” details you used? I have the Noahlink Wireless and latest Target software. I just did this DIY setup but have not yet utilized it. You inputs for my L90s with custom molds/Activevents would be helpful. I have been very please with music streaming sound quality since installing the Ti molds.

This is only day 2 for me.

Quit adjusting things in the app, particularly if your adjustment is turning things down. Give your brain sufficient time to adjust and then fiddle with the settings later.

Yes, Lumity 90 and L90-R are the same.

This is the same problem that I am having. The hair brushing against the aids is the most annoying issue that I have. What were the program settings that you changed to decrease this issue. This is only my second day of wearing the HA so it may be possible that, with time, this issue will go away? Did you see improvements over time or need to make program changes to solve the problem?

I did have the audiologist make some adjustments which helped with the hair and glasses issues, but I still find some sounds like pans rattling, or doors closing a bit louder than I would like. I did setup a program I called AT HOME where I increased the noise reduction level a little and increased the speech focus to wide. This helps a bit more.

I have not had any issues with distorted frequencies. Sound is natural for me, and I particularly love the TV Adapter and cell phone connections. The sound from both is terrific.
