Most users are really taken with the aids, their abilities and the experience they deliver. There really is no question that Made for iPhone hearing aids are here to stay. ReSound's release of their new line of Made for iPhone hearing aids, the ReSound LiNX2 (LiNX squared) only proves the point.

With this release, ReSound is once again leading the pack in the Made for iPhone hearing aid space.

The Enzo2™ Super Power Hearing Aids

The First Made For iPhone Super Power Hearing Aids

The Resound Enzo2™ is the newest super power family for severe to profound hearing loss, from GN Resound. ReSound Enzo2™ brings smart hearing technology to people with severe and profound hearing loss for the first time.

The Enzo2 range is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod.

You can also use your iPhone as a remote control to adjust the hearing aid. The Enzo2 is also compatible with the whole range of "ReSound Unite" wireless accessories.

All of it through the world’s most powerful and advanced super power hearing aid. Enzo2 is your direct connection to people, places and experiences.

Enzo2 9 Hearing AIds

The Enzo2 9 is the flagship level device in ReSound’s superpower hearing aid range. Like the Linx2 9, it has 17 frequency channels for fine tuning within. It also uses their latest feedback prevention strategy DFS Ultra II to provide the highest amplification without the hearing aid whistling. The hearing aids are packed with advanced features to ensure the important speech sounds. They will attack background noises and wind noise. The device use a particularly clever system to ensure that they adjust themselves automatically to the environment you are in.

While the device is a high power hearing aid, Resound has ensured that the Enzo2 9 is one of the smallest super power aids available. Resound uses iSolate nanotech™ coating to protect the components in the aid from dust and wax and moisture.

Enzo2 7 Hearing Aids

The Enzo2 7 is the mid-level aid in the superpower hearing aid range. Resound have done something a little different with their mid range products, it has 17 frequency channels which is exactly the same as the top of the range devices. It also uses the same anti-feedback system to ensure that you get the amplification you need.

However, the device has a reduced feature set which means you will miss out on Autoscope Adaptive Directionality, Binaural Directionality and Binaural Environmental Optimizer II. They have also reduced the effect of the Noisetracker II and Windguard features aren’t quite as strong.

Enzo2 5 Hearing Aids

The Enzo2 5 is the entry level superpower hearing aid in ReSound’s latest range. Although it has a lower specification and 9 channels rather than 17, it still has the same high power output as the other models.

The aid has the same effective feedback prevention (DFS Ultra II) system, providing the highest highest amplification in the industry, without the hearing aid whistling. This hearing aid is ideally suited to those with severe to profound losses who do not spend much time in noisy or windy environments.

As with the other devices in the range it is a tough and durable aid and it has been specially coated to repel wax, moisture and dust.

Updates to the Smart app

One of the biggest problems for individuals with hearing loss is hearing speech in noise and wind. New personalization options within the app that are only for ReSound LiNX2 users includes sound enhancement features to better personalize these difficult listening situations.

Improved Surround Sound

Surround Sound by ReSound has been around for a while. Surround Sound is ReSound’s system for processing sound which helps users determine the direction sound is coming from, and automatically alters the output of the hearing aids to match the acoustic environment. In the LiNX2, ReSound have introduced a new improved Surround Sound system. The feature has been greatly improved with the introduction of Binaural Directionality™ II, and an all new feature, Spatial Sense™. Binaural Directionality™ was utilized in previous ReSound products, like the Verso, and the original LiNX, but its second generation is now available in the LiNX2. Spatial Sense is a brand new feature focused entirely on helping you as a wearer localize sound and have a better spatial awareness. In order to take full advantage of the new Surround Sound system , you’ll have to invest in the LiNX2 9 in the BTE or RIE style.

What super-power users say

They told Resound that the two most important requirements they have as a super-power user are:
Power and Sound Quality.
You need high maximum amplification and youwant better sound quality.

 

Your sound your ReSound Sparx

ReSound Sparx will help you to engage with friends, family and the world around you, providing the super-power you need and the better sound you’ve always wanted.

GR Resound devised the remote microphone hearing aid to offer a discreet hearing aid solution that enhances localisation of sound by incorporating the microphone into a notch of the pinna (the main ear part we see), whilst the main body of the aid sits inside the ear canal. This device is not for everyone, but enhances the Resound hearing aid portfolio, giving them another string to their bow.
