ReSound LiNX 3D

Today, ReSound supplies its hearing solutions to more than 80 countries and is part of GN Nord Group which is renowned for developing research and technology for the advanced hearing aid market. ReSound’s intelligent, continuously evolving technology has enabled the hearing aid brand to design and develop hearing aids that offer the best sound quality while keeping users connected with what is most important to them.

The ReSound LiNX 3D is the first Made-for-iPhone smart hearing aid designed to give you greater control over your hearing aids, while also improving speech sounds and awareness of the sounds in your environment. The hearing aids use a new chipset that is far more powerful than its predecessor. It also offers Spatial Sense so you will have a clearer idea of your surroundings, while Binaural Directionality III will allow you to focus on specific sounds without blocking out the rest of your environment.

Three hearing aids use the LiNX 3D platform, the LiNX 3D 9, LiNX 3D 7, and the ReSound LiNX 3D 5 hearing aids. The LiNX 3D 9 is the premium model in the range while the 5 is considered a mid-range device, with each model offering a rechargeable option. The ReSound LiNX 3D is available in a full range of colours and hearing aid styles.

Many people experience both hearing loss and tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears). The LiNX 3D hearing aids feature advanced tinnitus therapy that delivers soothing sound therapy to help alleviate symptoms of tinnitus while also compensating for your hearing loss.
