In today’s world, technology is bringing new possibilities to the healthcare industry and creating opportunities for people with disabilities that were not previously possible. ReSound is proud to lead the hearing industry in advancing matters of accessibility for the more than 300 million people worldwide who are living with hearing loss.

In 2014, ReSound was the first company to bring direct connectivity to consumer technology to the hearing industry with ReSound LiNX, the world’s first Made for iPhone hearing aid, empowering people to take control of their hearing loss and personalize their listening experience. In 2015, the company followed up with ReSound LiNX2, the world’s only full family of internet-connected hearing aids, giving people more choices to meet individual preferences and hearing loss needs.

As part of the company’s ongoing dedication to develop meaningful solutions for people with hearing loss, ReSound is leveraging GN’s expertise in sound quality to create new technologies that have revolutionized the hearing industry. Since 2007, the company has applied directionality in a unique way that opens the sound world for users and removes “tunnel hearing.” ReSound also invented Spatial Sense technology to restore spatial awareness, allowing users to locate where sounds are coming from. These technologies deliver the most natural hearing experience possible, and are critical in helping people with hearing loss to connect, interact, and engage in their lives.
