The BE by GN Resound

Unlike anything that’s ever been seen before, BE by ReSound™ is the alternative to traditional hearing instruments.
So new, and so radically different. You need to see it for yourself.

  • a unique design that’s nearly invisible in the ear
  • absolute comfort – in both wearing and listening
  • advanced elimination of wind noise
  • the most natural listening experience available

This is considered a specialty hearing aid and is not for all hearing losses.  For the greatest cosmetic concealment within the ear, a person must have a sufficiently large ear canal. 
The MIND440 by Widex 
Our goal in developing Dual ISP has been to give you not just more sound, but more benefits and features:

• Hearing speech from behind is as important as hearing speech from in front of you.  The adaptive microphone system in mind440 can alter its sensitivity depending on the direction of the speech signal.

• High pitched sounds, such as birdsong or a piccolo flute in an orchestra, are often the first to disappear with high frequency hearing loss. However the Audibility Extender shifts such sounds automatically down into your audible range.

• Understanding speech in noisy environments has always been one of the biggest challenges, particularly determining what is speech and what is noise.  The Speech Enhancer deciphers noise and speech based on statistical analysis and uses your hearing loss as a guideline in the effort to lessen noise.

• You should be able to wear your hearing aid without any discomfort.  Acoustic feedback is one of the classic causes of discomfort in normal hearing aid use.  With the Multidirectional active feedback cancelling system, acoustic feedback
is minimised due to the active signal processing.

Agile by Oticon

Now you can take an active part in any conversation. Oticon Agil allows you to make intuitive sense of your surroundings – even in situations where many sounds compete for your attention.  Oticon Agil lets you do all this while demanding less of you.

You could call it the confidence to stay in the game and enjoy an active social life.

Oticon Agil is designed to help you expend less energy in every situation. We know that different settings ask more of us than others. A dinner party or chatting with a friend in a busy café are just two instances where listening can prove challenging. But it’s not only trying to grasp the properties of sound that can be taxing. In a busy environment, the effort required to listen can leave you with very little to actually enjoy the moment. Oticon Agil changes all that.

Oticon Agil preserves the natural dynamics of sounds and gives your brain more of the sounds it can recognise and process. It does this by sending sounds to your brain in the way it learned to process them. That takes the hard work out of making sense of sounds and following what is going on. It means you can now not only keep up, but contribute and participate actively in conversations with less effort. And that is the energy of understanding.
