ReSound is pleased to announce today that it has returned to
IFA, the world’s largest international consumer electronics show,
in Berlin, Germany, to showcase the company’s expanding portfolio
of award-winning, innovative Smart Hearing technologies.
This year’s activities from ReSound include interactive
demonstrations of the world’s first full family of Made for iPhone
hearing aids, the ReSound LiNX2™. In addition to addressing hearing
loss, ReSound’s portfolio of Smart Hearing solutions allow wearers
to stream sounds directly from their iPhone®, iPad®, or iPod touch®
to their hearing aids, and directly from their television using the
ReSound Unite™ TV Streamer 2. The ReSound Smart™ app offers
revolutionary personalization of the hearing aids, empowering
people to take control of their hearing experience.
Even before the show opened to the public, ReSound’s Smart
Hearing technology made a splash at IFA’s widely attended press
events. On Sept. 3, ReSound participated in ShowStoppers, IFA’s
premiere press event, where it received a strong reception from key
technology and lifestyle reporters from publications across the
globe who were excited to learn about the latest in Smart Hearing
solutions. During the press event, ReSound was awarded two
ShowStoppers Envisioneering Awards for Innovation and Design,
highlighting the company’s ongoing commitment to developing the
world’s most innovative hearing technologies and making these
solutions accessible to as many people as possible. These awards
recognized the cutting-edge technology and user-friendly design of
the ReSound LiNX2 and ReSound Up Smart™. The company was also
recognized as an honoree for its ReSound Smart app.
“We are very pleased to return to IFA this year to feature
ReSound’s Smart Hearing solutions. Since last year, we’ve seen the
launch of the ReSound LiNX2, followed by the ReSound Smart app
extension for Apple Watch, the expansion of our compatibility
portfolio to include even more Android smartphone models, and the
release of products that can provide relief for people living with
tinnitus,” said GN ReSound CEO Anders Hedegaard. “It is an exciting
time for our industry and the more than three hundred million
people worldwide living with hearing loss. ReSound is proud to lead
the way in Smart Hearing innovation and excited to bring consumers
the best possible solutions to meet their individual hearing
needs.”
Launched in March 2015, ReSound LiNX2 is the latest device to
leverage ReSound’s proprietary 2.4 GHz wireless platform. ReSound
LiNX2 allows wearers to personalize their hearing like never before
by delivering the power of direct control over hearing aid settings
through the ReSound Smart app. ReSound’s industry-leading
technologies put customization at the wearer’s fingertips, allowing
people to make adjustments in real-time based on personal
preference and listening environment, including:
- Changes to preferred volume,
treble, and bass levels
- Personalized sound enhancements for
speech, background noise, and wind
- Saving preferred settings under
‘Favorites’ for frequently visited places, such as home,
work, restaurants, and more
- Employing the ‘Find My Hearing
Aids’ function to pinpoint hearing aids if misplaced
- Activating sound streaming to
hearing aids from other ReSound devices (such as the ReSound Unite
TV Streamer 2)
- Integrated tinnitus management,
allowing people with tinnitus (ringing in the ears) personalized
control of tinnitus settings directly through the app
The ReSound Smart app is available free of charge in the Apple
App Store, and for several Android devices, including the Samsung
Galaxy S®4, Samsung Galaxy S®5, Samsung Galaxy S®6, Samsung Galaxy
S®6 edge, and Samsung Note® 4., in the Google Play store. In
addition to on-the-go personalization, ReSound offers
industry-leading technology in all areas of Smart Hearing
(audiology, connectivity, design, and apps). ReSound also offers
the ReSound ENZO™ for individuals with profound hearing loss, and
the ReSound Up Smart, designed specifically for children. ReSound’s
revolutionary hearing aid technology is available through a global
