ReSound LiNX Quattro

Today, ReSound hearing aids are sold in more than 80 countries while the brand has been at the forefront of some of the hearing aid market’s most innovative advancements and created many firsts in the industry. For instance, ReSound created its Wide Dynamic Range Compression technology to enhance sound processing, while its Digital Feedback Suppression technology ensures there is no sound distortion. The hearing aid brand was also behind the industry’s first open-standard digital clip for creating a more natural and flexible listening experience for its users.

In 2014, ReSound launched its range of LiNX hearing aids for people with mild to severe hearing loss. This saw the brand introduce the LiNX2 and then the LinX 3D in 2017. While each new model offered improved performance on the last, it was the LiNX Quattro that set the range apart from other hearing aids on the market. The LiNX Quattro provides 100% more speed and up to 30% more processing power than previous models and a much clear and natural sound. It also offered users a better-quality wireless system and rechargeable lithium-ion and quick charge technology.

ReSound hearing aids are generally more reasonably priced than some other hearing-aid brands. However, this price can increase significantly if you opt for one of the best models. When it comes to the ReSound LiNX Quattro price, it can vary considerably depending on where you purchase from and which model you choose. However, you can expect to pay around £2,795 a pair. Speak to your hearing care professional for more details on LiNX Quattro prices.

Two of the most popular models in the LiNX Quattro range are the premium LiNX Quattro 9 and the LiNX Quattro 7, which is the next model down. The LiNX Quattro contains many features that are available across the rest of the LiNX Quattro models. However, these features are unique to the Resound LiNX Quattro 9 models:

• Binaural Directionality III
• Spatial Sense
• Adjustable directional mix
• Autoscope Adaptive Directionality
• Binaural Environmental Optimizer II

The LiNX Quattro 7 offers improved technology than the Quattro 5. For instance, it has 12 channels, Noise Tracker II, Expansion, Wind Guard, and Low-Frequency Boost. There are also features in the Link Quattro 7 that are not available in the Quattro 9, including:

• 14 channels
• Binaural Directionality
• Synchronized Soft Switching
• Multiscope Adaptive Directionality
• Environmental Optimiser

ReSound offers a range of wireless hearing aid accessories to accompany and enhance the LiNX Quattro. These include:

• ReSound Multi-mic: To enhance the sounds and speech you want to hear, even in noisy environments
• ReSound Phone Clip+: For crystal-clear phone calls, muting background noise and streaming audio from your phone
• ReSound TV Streamer 2: Stream stereo sound from your music system, computer or TV directly to your hearing aids
• ReSound Remote Controls: Mute or adjust the volume of your hearing aids or switch between programs

The LiNX Quattro offers direct streaming to both Android and iPhone and uses an iPhone app that is superior to many others. The devices come with Lithium-ion rechargeable battery options and a portable charging unit and give users an extended frequency bandwidth and improved hearing performance across both ears.

However, there have been relatively minor performance improvements such as the LiNX2 range since the product was launched. App updates have been slow to be released, which can cause the app to stop working following an IOS update.
