In this video, I take a look at the ReSound One hearing aids.
The One is ReSound’s new hearing aids family. They offer RIC- and BTE hearing aids, both rechargeable or battery-powered.
The hearing aids feature a new special receiver, called M&RIE (speak: Marie), and it consists of a receiver and an additional microphone that sits in the ear channel. This leads to a better perception of directionality and depth. In fact, the additional microphone picks up the sounds that are reflected from the outer ear into the ear canal, which is referred to as the "Pinna Effect".
The ReSound One is available in four performance levels: 9, 7, 5, and 4. The level 9 premium device comes with 5 hearing programs, and levels 7, 5, and 4 come with 4 hearing programs. And while all four technology levels are only slightly different from each other, levels 9 and 7 have a huge advantage over 5 and 4 when it comes to directionality and to understanding speech in noise.
ReSound’s newest features are called All Access Directionality and Ultra Focus.
All Access Directionality is a special strategy to optimize the microphone directionality so the wearer benefits from better understanding when moving through daily listening situations.
Ultra Focus combines the directionality of both hearing aids to improve speech understanding in very noisy situations.
Of course, these hearing aids come with Bluetooth, a smartphone app to adjust the volume and hearing programs as well as Remote Fitting Support. Direct sound streaming, for example, phone calls, is supported for iPhones and many newer Android phones.
There are three chargers available: the Premium Charger which has a built-in power bank, the Standard Charger, and the Desktop Charger. Premium and Standard chargers have LED lights that give you information about the charging status, the Desktop Charger is the most basic version without LED status lights.
The Smart 3D app gives you full control over your hearing aids. It lets you control the volume, the hearing programs, the charging status, and the connection status. Also, it helps you find your hearing aids if you can’t find them, and enables Remote Services from your hearing professional.
My conclusion is, that ReSound has made a good job with these hearing aids. They could improve their Quattro hearing aids with the ReSound One. It has a classy hearing aid design, rechargeable, and battery-powered versions, and is suitable for all kinds of hearing loss. The M&RIE receiver helps in getting a more natural sound and is available for technology levels 9 and 7.
Before you decide on these hearing aids I recommend checking, if your phone is supported by ReSound to enjoy hands-free calls and music streaming. Your hearing professional can help you with that, and there is also a list of compatible mobile phones online.
