ReSound LiNX 3D

 ReSound was the first to introduce Made-for-iPhone hearing aids with stereo sound streaming and also responsible for introducing 2.4GHz technology for direct connectivity to the hearing aid market. Supplying its products to more than 80 countries, ReSound is focused on creating the most natural and complete listening experience possible for people with all types of hearing loss.

ReSound has continued to develop its extensive product line of advanced hearing solutions with the launch of the LiNX 3D family of hearing aids for mild to severe hearing loss. The ReSound LiNX 3D hearing aid is the first hearing aid to be Made-for-iPhone. This means can not only stream audio directly from your iPhone to your hearing aids but also enjoy the excellent sound quality and improved speech understanding. The hearing aids are built on ReSound’s latest and most powerful platform and use spatial sense and binaural directionality technology that lets you focus on the sounds that are important to you without blocking out the rest of your environment for a true, natural listening experience.

There are three models of hearing aid in the LiNX 3D range, LiNX 3D 9, LiNX 3D 7 and the ReSound LiNX 3D 5 hearing aids which are considered a mid-range hearing aid. The ReSound LiNX 3D comes in a range of hearing aid styles and a wide variety of colours to choose from.
