What makes Resound GN hearing aids unique?

80% of people who wear hearing aids describe hearing in noise as a key challenge. To address this, ReSound Nexia has been engineered to sound natural while still delivering 150% improvement in speech understanding compared to current hearing aids. In a clinical study, 20% of respondents had issues with the sound of their own voice when wearing hearing aids. ReSound Nexia also addresses this challenge by enhancing the user’s perception of ‘own voice’, so it sounds natural which contributes to higher satisfaction, leading to improved retention of hearing aids.

For additional sound performance and comfort, ReSound introduces Check My Fit, a new, first-of-its-kind feature in the ReSound Smart3D App. It gives users guidance to wear their hearing aids correctly via a quick ear selfie. Wearing hearing aids incorrectly can result in up to 11dB of sound escaping the ear, reducing the ability to hear considerably. Check My Fit also works with other ReSound hearing aids to help people enjoy sound fully without unnecessary trips to the audiologist.

Is Resound Nexia good for speech understanding?

​

What Resound Nexia technology level should I pick, 9, 7 or 5?

Choosing Ressound Nexia technology level is a choice of lifestyle and budget. If you don't have a constrained budget then go with the higher level of technology that your budget allows, level 9. Keep in mind that hearing aids are a special type of consumer good. They have relatively long lifetimes (about 7-10 years) hence you need to look at your purchase as an investment. You may not have many constraints on your budget, but you may not have a very busy life either i.e. you rarely find yourself in a conversation in the presence of background noise or competing speech such as in pubs, restaurants, coffee shops and so on. In that case, Resound Nexia 5 might be just enough for you. For a better understanding of your options, we suggest consulting with your audiologist. Book an online consultation here.

1. Level of your hearing loss - The higher the hearing loss the higher the consumption of the battery
