GN, a global leader in hearing technology, announces ReSound Sensia™, a new family of premium hearing aids built on the company’s new AI platform. ReSound Sensia combines the world’s most accurate environmental classifier, an advanced 4-microphone directional beamformer and Deep Neural Network (DNN) noise reduction to automatically lift the speech the user wants to focus on. This powerful combination of technologies has been proven to tackle hearing in noisy environments by world-renowned institutions and by users in real-world scenarios.
“Hearing aids that use DNN noise reduction can suppress background noise, but most do so without reference to what the listener actually wants to hear,” said Peter Justesen, President, GN’s Hearing division. “In practice, this means the loudest voice in the environment is amplified, even though it is often not the one the user is trying to follow. ReSound Sensia highlights the speech people want to focus on – automatically, accurately, proven. This is made possible with a new AI platform in combination with a trio of leading technologies.”
New Intelligent All-Around
ReSound Sensia, the world’s smallest AI hearing aid1 is powered by GN’s new AI platform and introduces Intelligent All-Around* an innovative approach to sound processing. It uses a powerful trio of technologies that work as one with the brain to deliver clarity in noisy and quiet environments alike and steps in automatically so people can hear what they want to hear, no matter the environment.
At the heart of the Intelligent All-Around feature, AcoustIQ™ accurately classifies the sound environment in real time, with 88% greater accuracy in classification and feature engagement than the closest premium solution.2 This ensures features are activated at the moment when they are needed, ensuring the hearing aid user receives the greatest hearing benefit in that environment. AcoustIQ orchestrates ReSound Sensia’s leading 4-microphone beamforming technology that allows users to focus on what they want to hear by simply facing the speech source, together with a new DNN denoising approach that automatically helps lift conversations.
Testing by independent researchers at the world-renowned Hörzentrum Oldenburg has shown that this combination is able to deliver the best audibility of the intended speaker rather than hearing the loudest speech from anywhere in the environment.3,4
“We’ve taken a user-centred approach with ReSound Sensia, building in multiple technical innovations that are orchestrated by AcoustIQ, which accurately classifies the listening environment and activates each feature when the user needs it,” added Laurel Christensen, Ph.D., Chief Audiology Officer at GN. “ReSound Sensia can be trusted to engage the features that best improve hearing in noise when they are needed while not making the decision of what to hear for the listener. For HCPs this automatic engagement translates into practice outcomes as performance in difficult environments no long depends on the patient remembering to change programs”
All-day battery, with DNN denoising always available
Importantly, ReSound Sensia offers battery life of 24 hours in the rechargeable microRIE and ITC/ITE styles, even with DNN denoising now activating automatically, so users can benefit from advanced hearing-in-noise support without compromising all-day performance. This efficiency results in denoising that is 17x more efficient that other AI-powered hearing solutions.
Designed to work with Cochlear™ sound processors
GN is also introducing ReSound Sensia™ Bimodal and ReSound Enzo™ IA Bimodal, designed to work with Cochlear® Nucleus® sound processors to support integrated performance, reliable connectivity and a seamless bimodal hearing experience. This latest step in GN’s collaboration with Cochlear through the Smart Hearing Alliance reflects the shared dedication to the journey and commitment to delivering state-of-the-art bimodal solutions.
Fitting software built for the new NAL-NL3™ standard
For audiology practices, GN is also introducing software upgrades and a suite of professional solutions designed to simplify consultations and reclaim time for patient care. The latest updates to GN’s audiology portfolio make it easier for audiologists to deliver excellent consultations, satisfying their customers and developing their practice.
The ReSound Smart Fit™ 2.4 software provides an interface that is simpler and more intuitive, making it faster to reach the functions that they use most frequently, while also featuring the proprietary Audiogram+ alongside the gold-standard NAL-NL3™ prescriptive framework for more personalised, data-driven fittings.

The ReSound Sensia range and the equivalent Beltone Illuminate family and the ReSound/Beltone Smart Fit 2.4 FSW will be available in the US, Germany, and Austria on August 20, with more markets to follow in the coming months. Available in microRIE (Receiver-in-Ear), RIE (Receiver-in-Ear) styles with ZincAir 312 and 13 batteries, non-wireless CIC (Completely-in-Canal) custom-made style, wireless ITC (In-the-Canal) custom-made style, and rechargeable ITC (In-the-Canal) and ITE (In-the-Ear) custom-made styles.
