Oticon has introduced a new range of hearing aids and a new chip to power them. The Alta2, Nera2 and Ria2 hearing aids ranges are the latest hearing solutions in the Performance Line families and the first to be powered by Oticon’s new Inium Sense Platform.

They say the result is a more natural listening experience with less effort on the part of the user.
ReSound Releases the LiNX2™ Hearing Aids in Swansea
A little over a year ago, ReSound released the first Made for iPhone hearing aid ever, the LiNX™. While Made for iPhone hearing aids are relatively new within the hearing aid world and they do have some issues that need to be ironed out, the overwhelming majority of user reviews are really positive. 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 prove the point. Here is a quote from the press release.
“ReSound LiNX2 is the latest step in our efforts to make hearing as natural and effortless as possible,” said GN ReSound CEO Anders Hedegaard. We revolutionized hearing aid technology in 2014 with the introduction of ReSound LiNX, a game changing, Smart Hearing device that offered incredible sound quality, connectivity and control. ReSound LiNX2 builds on that unmatched capability, bringing even more empowerment to users that expect the best quality without compromise in an increasingly connected world.”
With this release, ReSound is once again leading the pack in the Made for iPhone hearing aid space. The LiNX2 is available in the same 3 technology levels as the previous generation, that being the top of the range 9, the 7 and the 5, but they are offering an expanded range of styles.
The ReSound LiNX2™ In The Ear Hearing Aids at Hearing Wales – New Styles
Up to now, Made for iPhone hearing aids have only been available in the behind-the-ear styles. ReSound have been hinting that custom styles were in the pipeline, and now they have arrived! Along with the popular BTE and RIE styles, the LiNX2 is available at Hearing Wales in the following additional custom styles: IIC, CIC, ITC, ITE and MIH. However, only the ITC, ITE, and MIH styles are wireless capable and compatible with the ReSound Smart™ App and can support direct audio streaming. In addition, the RIE and BTE styles have also had an updated redesign, with new casing and user controls.
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.
The Best Tinnitus Relief For You
The LiNX2 is ReSound’s 5th generation tinnitus solution. All technology levels and styles of the LiNX2 have built-in sound generators and six different Nature Sounds to find the settings that bring them the most relief. Using the Smart app, you can control control the pitch and modulation of the sound and create the sound therapy that delivers the best tinnitus relief for you. If you’d like to gain even more control, you can download the ReSound Relief app and introduce sounds beyond those that are available through the hearing aids.
