Yes! I hope to get my Phonak Lumity Life aids in for battery replacement before the 3-yr warranty is up. As for the re-build … well now I’ll have to ask my audi if Phonak does that, cuz I’d sure take advantage of that.
I admit, I was utterly SEDUCED by the Lumity Life promise of about 10% better speech understanding. And you’re right, mostly these claims are like thin air. But in this case, I would’ve given it maybe a 12-15% improvement over my Phonak Marvel aids. I thought, “MEH!”
But over the many months I’ve used these aids, that comprehension seems to have grown to more like a 20% improvement. Weirdly, the more I actually comprehend someone in a challenging situation (talking to my back, in noisy place, speaks with accent, soft voice, etc.,) the more my confidence grew. My hubs can talk in our echo-y house halfway up the stairs and I’ll know what he’s saying.
So I’m guessing if someone came out with a marketing message of improved speech clarity (or hey, how about truly waterproof aids!) I’d want to snap 'em up. And hope for the best!
