The Phonak Audeo L50-312 RIC is a powerhouse of the Lumity platform, designed for users who demand high-quality sound and sophisticated features without the constraints of a rechargeable battery. As a “Standard” level hearing aid (Level 50), it offers a significant step up in automatic performance compared to entry-level models, making it ideal for individuals who lead active social lives but still want a discreet, battery-operated solution.

By choosing the Phonak Audeo L50-312 RIC, you are investing in SmartSpeech™ Technology, which focuses on improving speech understanding in moderately noisy environments.¹ Whether you are at a coffee shop with a friend or in a family gathering, this device works behind the scenes so you can hear what matters most.

Why Choose the Phonak Audeo L50-312 RIC?

While the market is flooded with rechargeable options, the Phonak Audeo L50-312 RIC remains a top choice for seasoned hearing aid users and tech-savvy individuals alike. Here is why:

1. The Reliability of 312 Zinc-Air Batteries

The “312” in the name refers to the most popular hearing aid battery size in the world. For many, the ability to simply swap a battery in 10 seconds is superior to waiting 3 hours for a charge.

• No Charging Case Needed: Perfect for travelers, hikers, and those who don’t want another cable on their nightstand.

• Consistent Power: You never have to worry about your battery “aging” or losing capacity over years of use.

2. Lumity’s SmartSpeech™ Technology

The L50 tier features AutoSense OS™ 5.0.² This advanced operating system utilizes artificial intelligence to identify the sound environment you are in and adjust the microphones accordingly.³

• Secondary Keywords:

  Phonak Lumity 50 RIC, 312 battery hearing aid, Phonak non-rechargeable hearing aid, Audeo L50 single ear.

• Speech in Noise: The L50 specifically includes the “Speech in Noise” program, which helps suppress background clutter so you can follow the person speaking to you.⁴

   

• Reduced Listening Effort: By sharpening the focus on speech, the Phonak Audeo L50-312 RIC reduces the mental fatigue often felt by those with hearing loss at the end of the day.⁵

3. Universal Bluetooth® Connectivity

Phonak leads the industry in connectivity.⁶ The Phonak Audeo L50-312 RIC connects seamlessly to:

• iOS and Android Smartphones: Stream music, podcasts, and videos directly into your ears.

• Hands-Free Calling: Use the hearing aid microphones to pick up your voice—no need to hold your phone to your mouth.⁷

   

• Multiple Pairings: Stay connected to two Bluetooth devices simultaneously and switch between them effortlessly.

Precision Tuning with 16 Channels

With 16 programmable channels, the Phonak Audeo L50-312 RIC allows your audiologist to tailor the sound precisely to your hearing loss profile.⁸ This ensures that the amplification is natural, crisp, and comfortable, avoiding the “tinny” sound associated with lower-quality devices.

Key Benefits of the L50 (Standard) Level

The Level 50 (L50) technology is the “sweet spot” for many users. It offers more advanced features than the L30 (Essential) but remains more affordable than the Premium L90.

• StereoZoom 2.0: Helps you focus on a conversation directly in front of you when the room gets noisy.⁹

   

• Dynamic Noise Cancellation: A software-based feature that makes listening in noise much more comfortable.¹⁰

   

• Tinnitus Balance: Includes a built-in noise generator to help manage and mask ringing in the ears.

Discreet Design and Comfort

The Phonak Audeo L50-312 RIC features a sleek, ergonomic housing that sits comfortably behind the ear. Because it uses a 312 battery, it is noticeably slimmer than rechargeable models, making it virtually invisible even for people with short hair.

The device is available in various colors to match your style, including Sand Beige, Graphite Grey, Silver Grey, Velvet Black, and Chestnut.¹¹
