ReSound LiNX 3D key features

FEATURE ADVANTAGE BENEFITBINAURAL DIRECTIONALITY III

Continuous ear-to-ear exchange of data about the environment optimizes polar patterns and microphone settings in any listening situation.

Your clients can focus on the sounds that are important to them without losing touch with what’s going on around them. Providing the brain with the right information from both ears lets your clients effortlessly follow conversations and shift attention naturally.

SPATIAL SENSE

Combines algorithms that restore pinna cues and interaural level differences to provide the brain with natural acoustic information for spatial hearing.

Supports your clients’ ability to detect where sounds are coming from, so they experience a more natural sense of their surroundings and the best possible sound quality.

BINAURAL ENVIRONMENTAL OPTIMIZER II

The hearing aids work together to analyse and accurately classify the listening environment, automatically adjusting gain and noise reduction settings.

Your clients can enjoy optimal audibility and listening comfort even when moving through rapidly changing sound environments.

NOISE TRACKER II

A unique spectral subtraction technology reduces unwanted noise without degrading the speech signal.

Improves your clients’ comfort in noisy listening situations without compromising speech understanding.

DFS ULTRA II WITH MUSIC MODE

High precision feedback path analysis enables DFS Ultra II to cancel feedback with extreme accuracy. Music Mode analyzes the sound over a longer period of time, so the system can better distinguish true feedback from music and other tonal sounds.

Users can now enjoy extra comfort, better audibility and all the subtle nuances of rich sound, even in the most challenging situations. Music Mode provides users with clearer, richer, distortion-free music experience.

TINNITUS SOUND GENERATOR AND NATURE SOUNDS

Programmable customized tinnitus therapy sounds as well as Nature Sounds.

Helps users break the ‘vicious cycle’ and achieve some relief from tinnitus by diverting attention through a wide range of soothing background sounds.

The future is here – a new dimension in hearing careReSound LiNX 3D™ is the latest Smart Hearing aid. Your clients will understand 40% more speech in noise and hear 80% more surrounding sounds than they hear with competitive premium products.* They’ll enjoy best-in-class streaming with Made for iPhone and wireless accessories. And they’ll stay in control of their sound environments with the new ReSound Smart 3D app.

What’s more, ReSound LiNX 3D is your entrance to an entirely new dimension in hearing care. Tele-healthcare has arrived in the hearing industry; ReSound keeps you ahead of the competition and helps you stay close to your clients, no matter where they are. Now you can fine-tune settings remotely to address their real-life challenges – with convenience and efficiency that suits your schedule. All of this is thanks to the new ReSound Smart Range C platform, new ReSound Smart Fit software and our new use of Cloud technology.

*Jespersen et al. (2016)

Smart Hearing is changing the conversation from the limitations of wearing hearing aids to the possibilities of wearing one of the world’s smartest devices. Here’s how it works:

Convenience pays off

ReSound Smart Fit 1.0 is your new fitting software. We’ve kept the best of ReSound Aventa, but you’ll find it even more intuitive and convenient. Cloud integration makes it your gateway to the new era of tele-healthcare. And while your initial fit will always take place in your clinic, ReSound Assist gives you an extra option to stay in touch with your clients by offering remote fine-tuning and remote hearing aid updates.

According to hearing care professionals, most client appointments are for fine-tuning.* Making adjustments remotely can reduce the need for these appointments, while saving scheduling time for you and traveling time for your clients.

By offering follow-up services remotely, you can:

• Save time for both you and your client

• Provide fine-tuning adjustments wherever your client is

• Address a specific, challenging hearing environment

ReSound Assist is a new opportunity to increase efficiency and client satisfaction.

You manage ReSound Assist in the ReSound Smart Fit software. You can activate it individually for the clients that will benefit most from this service. We make sure you have the data you need to make qualified fine-tunings – or decide if a counseling message is more appropriate.

For every remote fine-tuning request you get:

• A completed diagnostic questionnaire so you can use qualified information to make adjustments

• Additional personal message from your client, explaining how they experience the challenging situation

• A record of the hearing aid settings your client was using when they sent the request

• Datalog of usage information, uploaded weekly into ReSound Smart Fit so you can review how your clients are using their hearing aids

Two simple steps and you’re ready to offer remote fine-tuning and remote hearing aid updates:1. Register your clinic the professionals using ReSound Smart Fit at gnonlineservices.com2. Give your clients access to ReSound Assist during the initial fitting in ReSound Smart Fit.

Once you start incorporating ReSound Assist into your professional services,you’ll love the way it keeps you closer to your clients. It will help you solve their recurringlistening difficulties, if you for example have clients with:

• A tight schedule: Instead of a fixed appointment, your clients can send fine-tuning requests anytime no matter where they are

• A long commute: No matter where they are, they can get their settings updated by sending a simple request

• Mobility issues: Now it’s easier for them to get adjustments without needing to travel to the clinic

To ensure your clients understand what this new benefit can mean for them, it’s a goodidea to demo ReSound Assist in the ReSound Smart 3D app while they’re in the clinic.You can fit ReSound

LiNX 3D with HIMSA’s Noahlink Wireless or an updated Airlink 2.

Find out more about all ReSound wireless accessories at resoundpro.com

New Sure Fit 2 receiver tubes for a perfect fitOur new, improved receiver tubes sit snugly against the head. Their softer form wraps naturally around the pinna. And they contour to the shape of the first bend in the ear canal so the tube lies close to the skin and the receiver sits more securely in the ear canal. As before, all receivers and thin tubes conveniently use the same dome system.

Robust and reliableSince hearing aids need to perform in harsh environments, we make them rugged. In fact, reliability is the second most important attribute when choosing a hearing aid.* All our components – even thin tubes, receivers and domes – are coated with protective iSolate nanotech to repel water, earwax and debris. Because our intelligent design and iSolate nanotech coating keep the circuitry safe, all ReSound BTE and RIE hearing aids meet the IP58 standard that indicates they are water resistant and dust-tight.

You can offer your clients an entire ecosystem of wireless accessories to enhance their hearing in situations with noise, reverberation or over distance. Best of all, they work together as an intelligent system. For example, the TV mutes when a phone call comes in and the TV’s sound returns automatically when they hang up the phone, ensuring a seamless listening experience.
