Azure
Crystal-Clear Hearing
ReSound Azure™ has been developed to make hearing as natural as possible. Crystal-clear, unrestricted and without inconvenience for the user – just as it used to be. Where other high-end hearing instruments require the wearer to adapt to the technology, ReSound Azure adapts its advanced technologies to the way people naturally hear.
More closely attuned to the wearer’s natural way of hearing than any other hearing instrument,ReSound Azure™ achieves new synergy with the auditory system by leveraging the brain’s amazing ability to quickly perceive and prioritise visual and aural cues.
ReSound Azure won’t attempt to dictate what the user should hear. And it won’t squeeze wide-ranging needs into narrow programmes. Instead, ReSound Azure supports your client’s natural way of hearing – and their natural preferences – to put them back in control of what and how they want to hear.
Empowering Natural Hearing
No more ‘tunnel hearing’
While today’s high-end automatic directionality systems provide effective speech intelligibility when focusing on a speaker in front, wearers often complain about the accompanying loss of general awareness. They may find these systems focus on the wrong sound sources – or cause them to miss vital cues from the side or rear. As a result, many don’t get full value from directionality.
Now, ReSound introduces the first hearing instrument that delivers the full benefit of advanced directionality without losing peripheral awareness.
Designed for the human brain
Natural Directionality applies the findings of extensive research into the workings of the human auditory system to return wearers to a more natural way of prioritising sounds both inside and outside the directional beam. It exploits the fact that the brain has an unmatched ability to receive and instantly prioritise input from any source, by using one ear for focus while the other emphasises peripheral awareness.
This key insight underlies computations performed by Aventa™ fitting software. Aventa prepares each instrument in a binaural pair to receive different signals optimised for the individual wearer’s natural hearing. The auditory system itself then takes over, subtly prioritising side or rear signals over speaker-in-front focus whenever necessary or desirable.
Natural Sound
ReSound Azure™ defines a new benchmark for natural, clear, and comfortable sound quality. Now, our latest leap forward in feedback cancellation enables even better open fittings.
World-class feedback cancellation
ReSound Azure incorporates the next generation of our legendary feedback cancellation system. ReSound was the first company to develop this technology, which has since become the industry standard, and we have kept the lead by continuously improving it.
Like its predecessor, Dual Stabilizer™ II features dedicated digital feedback cancellation systems for each microphone. Each system monitors feedback, creating an inverted phase signal to eliminate the problem before it becomes audible, not only in omni-directional, but also in directional mode.
The new generation delivers extraordinary performance with significantly more headroom and considerably fewer artefacts. Additionally, Dual Stabilizer II also has higher fidelity scores and superior sound quality.
The open fitting revolution continues
ReSound pioneered and perfected open-fitting technologies. Our open-fitted products and options have strongly contributed to reducing the average initial purchase age by some ten years, made it possible to fit clients who might not otherwise have bought an instrument, and increased acceptance rates. ReSound Azure offers the very best of open-fitting choices with minimal occlusion, no feedback frustration and clear, natural sound quality.
Industry-leading sound quality
It’s one of the industry’s most talked-about patient benefits: the amazingly pure, natural sound quality offered by ReSound’s Warp™ compressor. The speed and precision of this unique approach to hearing instrument compression ensures near-zero distortion, remarkable purity and extremely fast processing
Cool Convenience
Feedback-free, hands-free phone use
Feedback, electrical interference and physical discomfort can make mobile or landline phone usage tough going for people with a hearing instrument. ReSound Azure™ is the first hearing instrument that solves these problems with a wireless headset that can be used with both mobile and landline phones. This unique accessory can be worn constantly or clipped on when the phone rings.
Enhanced Bluetooth® wireless technology
You’ll find the ReSound Azure headset delivers clear, uninterrupted sound quality. Moreover, its Bluetooth wireless technology is specially optimised to further compensate for impaired hearing. This attractive headset is the ultimate communication accessory for a top-of-the-line hearing instrument.
It recharges while they do!
We believe superb convenience should be a feature of any electronic product. That’s why ReSound was first to introduce an intelligent rechargeable hearing instrument, and we’ve made sure ReSound Azure™ builds upon this success. With ReSound Azure’s convenient recharger there is no need to remove or change batteries – just plug the hearing instruments* into the charging unit overnight and they’re ready to wear next morning.
The attractive charging unit can recharge two instruments at a time, providing up to 28 hours of smooth power and simultaneously charging two extra batteries for even longer periods of use.

Pulse
 ReSound
Pulse™ is an advanced digital hearing instrument that utomatically and smoothly adapts to meet your
needs in all kinds of listening situations. It’s also the only hearing instrument to offer the extra
convenience of the SuperTune™ intelligent charger. Ideal for users who want the latest in attractive,
high performance and modern technologies.
Foundation of Speech Intelligibility
 The new ReSound
Pulse™ features technology never before seen in an Open-Fitted instrument for people with mild-to-moderate,
high-frequency hearing loss. The flexible, software-based technologies has enabled a completely new
DSP (Digital Feedback Processing) concept and feature set. This new design is especially tuned for Open
performance – delivering more useable gain and feedback-free amplification in crucial speech frequencies.
In the world of Open Fittings, true useable gain
is the foundation of speech intelligibility. That’s high sound-quality, feedback-free amplification
in crucial speech frequencies (2-6 KHz) – confirmed by real-ear measurement.
Thanks
to the latest version of Stabilizer™ DFS (Digital Feedback Suppression), ReSound Pulse™ delivers more
true useable gain before feedback may occur. And that’s under real-life conditions! You still get this
same gain in directionality mode, when noise reduction kicks in, and when the instrument is dealing
with feedback management.
Now you can get the stability
you’re looking for without sacrificing speech intelligibility or compromise on occlusion and sound quality.
Engineered To Fit Your Life
Most people know what it’s like
to use a cell phone in windy conditions. It becomes difficult to hear what’s being said. This same problem
can even arise with most advanced digital hearing instruments. So you’ll be pleased to hear that ReSound
Pulse™ offers effective protection from the wind, sheltering your hearing for improved comfort while
continuing to amplify the voices you want to hear.
New
Virtual WindShield™ technology digitally suppresses wind noise at the source, effectively reducing the
disturbance caused by turbulent air flow over the instrument’s microphone ports. The advanced algorithm
focuses on the lower frequencies, detecting wind noise by comparing low-frequency power to broadband
power.
So, if you’re into golfing, sailing, cycling
or other activities in the great outdoors – or you prefer a quiet walk in the countryside – ReSound
Pulse™ won’t let excessive wind noise interfere with your outdoor activities.
Comfortable Hearing
While natural sound is an important advantage

Metrix
 Think speech intelligibility. Think comfort. Forget compromise. With ReSound Metrix™ GN resound have cracked the code on how to help hearing instrument users hear better without making them constantly aware of the solution.
They call the result “high-performing, fully transparent hearing”. “High-performing” for the fastest, most effective hearing improvement technologies. And “fully transparent” to mean that they've designed each technology to work so subtly that all users will notice is how much better they can hear.
To do it, they ’ve confronted and solved four key challenges within the areas of:
- Speech clarity
- Sound quality
- Fitting accuracy
- Open fitting.
Speech clarity
ReSound Metrix™ provides unrivaled advantages when it comes to making sense of busy, noisy situations. Dual Stabilizer™ and Real-world Adaptive Directionality represent the very latest developments in feedback cancellation and improved directionality.
While Softswitching™ makes ReSound Metrix™ the first instrument to automatically switch smoothly and subtly between functions, without making it obvious to the user.
Sound quality
ReSound Metrix’s Warp technology is designed to deliver unparalleled sound quality. Warp’s 17-band compression provides highly accurate resolution across the full range of frequencies.
Warp has also made it possible to design the most effective noise cancellation system ever invented: NoiseTracker ™
Fitting accuracy
Working hand-in-hand with the new Aventa 2.0™ fitting software, ReSound Metrix™’s Onboard Analyzer™ uses the latest data-logging technology to provide a precise, complete picture of the user's listening environment.
Open fitting
As many as 35% of hearing instrument users cite occlusion as a source of dissatisfaction with their hearing instruments. Wwith ReSound Metrix™ the number should drop significantly!
ReSound Metrix™ supports a large variety of open-fitting solutions as standard. If the user’s hearing loss falls within the open-fitting range, the benefits of Dual Stablizer™ and Warp compressor™ technology mean they can enjoy feedback-free, truly non-occluding fittings – without having to sacrifice functionality.
Pixel
 Ever wonder why part of the picture on your TV sometimes appears to freeze up and become pixilated? It’s because the system simply can’t handle the amount of high resolution information it receives. The same problem occurs with inefficient digital filters used by other hearing instruments, which are prone to losing, for example, important speech cues or becoming sloppy whenever the system gets overloaded.
A satisfying listening experience in all situations demands superior technologies in crucial areas such as speech intelligibility, noise reduction and feedback management. That’s why they ’ve built an impressive line up of core features into ReSound Pixel™, every one of which leads its class in intelligent design and performance, ReSound Pixel delivers the best sound quality across all frequencies and environments, even at high gain settings, with all fittings.
Plus 5
 ReSound Plus5™ has all the features you’d expect to find from a hearing instrument in its class…
- Directionality
- Noise Reduction
- Full Range of Models
- Variety of Options
- Multi Memory
- Easy Fitting
Trying a hearing aid for the first time ?
Because hearing loss differs from person to person, and because we all live in different ways there is no such thing as a “standard” solution. We are all unique, and ReSound Plus5 has been designed with this in mind.
ReSound Plus5 packs all the benefits you’d expect in an instrument from the industry technology leader, plus unique benefits which normally only are available in much more expensive hearing instruments.
You’ll notice an immediate improvement in how you hear
ReSound Plus5 is the most technology-loaded product available for the price. And when you try these hearing instruments, you will notice an immediate and dramatic improvement in your hearing.
Enhanced quality of life
If you suffer from hearing loss you may find yourself missing out on the things going on around you – others seem to be mumbling, and following conversations becomes hard work. So hard in fact that you may feel over tired towards the end of the day.
Because of the tried and tested technology in ReSound Plus5, you will soon find that these difficulties are a thing of the past. You will feel less isolated and more a part of what is going on, you should also feel less tired at the end of the day.
Whistle free performance
As a rule of thumb, the less expensive the hearing instrument the less advanced the feedback management system. This is another pre-conception, which ReSound Plus5 smashes by introducing the proven Stabilizer DFS feedback management system. Technology previously only available at the top end of the market.
This ensures that you will avoid experiencing high-pitched squealing or whistling from your hearing instrument.
Unique as your fingerprints
During the fitting process ReSound Plus5 can be tailored to exactly your requirements using DataLogging. By storing information about the use of the hearing instrument, ReSound Plus5 builds up a general profile of how you benefit from wearing this hearing instrument. That will us to digitally fine tune your ReSound Plus5 so it gives you the optimum performance.
The result is a hearing instrument as unique to you as your fingerprints.
Cosmetically appealing
When you wear a hearing instrument, you’d ideally like it to be invisible. Many people are put off taking the step towards better hearing because of the stigma attached to wearing a hearing instrument.
That need no longer be the case, because the ReSound Plus5 design enables a very cosmetically appealing hearing solution. And the ThinTube solution on the behind the ear version of ReSound Plus5 means that even that model is almost invisible. So less really is more.
The resound plus5 family
 All models, from “behind the Ear (BTE)” to “completely in the ear canal (CIC)” available.
