The standout feature of the Audéo Lumity is the Phonak SmartSpeech Technology, which is designed to help you clearly hear what people say no matter where you are. The technology leverages artificial intelligence to accurately identify and adapt to unique sound environments. Its StereoZoom 2.0 helps you focus on the sounds you want to hear, which is particularly helpful in crowded or noisy rooms. Additionally, the SpeechSensor feature uses an algorithm to detect where the main speech signal is coming from, which the company says reduces listening effort by 11%.
Audéo Lumity can connect to Bluetooth-enabled devices and pairs with the myPhonak app. The app allows you to adjust settings, track health statistics, and make appointments for remote fittings.

Initially launched in December 2018, SeasonalJobs.dol.gov is a mobile-friendly online portal that leverages the latest technologies to broaden dissemination of available temporary and seasonal job opportunities for which U.S. workers may be interested in applying. On November 19, 2021, OFLC implemented several enhancements designed to improve customer service and broaden U.S. worker access to available job opportunities. First, SeasonalJobs.dol.gov now makes information about H-2A and H-2B job opportunities more accessible to U.S. workers with limited English proficiency by offering a Spanish translation of both the website content and specific terms and conditions of the job opportunity. Second, to facilitate broader dissemination of available job opportunities, OFLC has significantly expanded the amount of job information available to any third-party (e.g., job search websites) through data feeds, which can be extracted daily and indexed for further advertising to U.S. workers. And finally, a new customer feedback feature is available that allows any person visiting the website to quickly report a defect or offer an idea or suggestion for improving the functional capabilities of the website.
