Thanks to Surround Sound by ReSound™, you get speech that’s clear, strong and easy to understand. No matter where it’s coming from. Or what you’re doing. Or who you’re listening to. In addition, the new ReSound Smart™ app, a free download at the App Store, helps you personalize your hearing experience. You can fine-tune the treble/bass of a concert – or a dinner conversation. Save locations so your hearing aids remember your adjustments whenever you get to work … the gym … or your favorite cafe. Or use it to find your hearing aids if you forget where you left them. All in a package that’s smarter, smaller and more connected than ever before.
