My hearing loss was moderate to severe and I liked that ReSound was a pioneer with the connection to the iPhone. I’m a big proponent of iPhone and I like the way that they connect. I'm able to control the volume and the different settings I'm in. I can also adjust my hearing aids to make changes to the environment that I found myself in and very easily by using the iPhone.
I assumed that all ReSound hearing aids would take rechargeable batteries and someone purchased a ReSound for me as a gift. They call them doors that come with zinc batteries. However, when I took them to my audiologist, they gave me the bad news that rechargeable batteries couldn't be used with my hearing aids. Still, I wouldn’t reject ReSound since I should done more research myself to understand that not every ReSound hearing aid is the same. Their current model, Quattro, uses rechargeable batteries but only some of them do with the one that I purchased. No one made me aware of it, so it was not ReSound's fault. You gotta shop around and investigate as to what’s available for your hearing loss. Another factor to consider is having a good audiologist and I’m very happy with where I’m serviced which is at the Audiology Department at Hackensack Costco.
Bluetooth to my iPhone. Easy to adjust volume. When sharing my phone to listen to family, must remember to disconnect my hearing aids. Have owned my resound hearing aids for 6’years. Must use 312 size batteries. I purchase by box, 8 quantity. This amount lasts me a month. Batteries are easy to insert and remove. For best sound, should clean wax trap daily. Plastic pull helps with removal of hearing aides. Batteries signal when they are getting low on charge. I have two hearing aides, one in each ear. I can check the strength of the batteries in each on my smartphone. Each hearing aid is color coded for right (red) and left (blue).

I got these at Costco Hearing Center. I don't like that online user support is lacking when I need help when the technician isn't unavailable. The technician was knowledgeable but not always available. I was told it takes a little getting used to, but I've had these for over 2 years and can't say it works all that well for me. I still have a hard time hearing people who are soft spoken or who are more than 3-5 feet away. It's the bluetooth connected ones and is synced with my phone, but adjusting it to the environment you're in is not easy. The fit isn't good, they always feel like they're going to fall out, so I'm always having to push it farther into the ear. I got them because they aren't as visible as some of the older ones, at this point I really need to be able to hear speech. I don't think I'll get these again nor recommend them.
I went with a hearing aid outfit four or five years ago that was bought out by Tri-County Hearing. Tri-County Hearing then introduced me to ReSound. I'm less than satisfied with Tri-County Hearing but I am very satisfied with my ReSound Hearing Aids. I just wish that I had a more forthcoming, stable audiologist with who to deal with. I'm seeing there seems to be a correlation between many of the local hearing aid providers having car dealer-itis. Many very deceptive and less than honest claims are being made which I don't agree with. Tri-County makes the statement that someone properly fitted with hearing aids can have hearing superior to someone with normal hearing without aids, and that is absolutely patently ridiculous. Hearing aids absolutely cannot restore normal hearing. They can restore bad hearing to the point where you can function satisfactorily.
If I can find somebody that I can really trust for straight answers, I wouldn't care what kinda hearing aid they sold me as long as it worked. The only problem I have with these ReSound aids now is that my hearing has gotten so bad that I have to require so much amplification that I'm right on the cusp of having continual feedback problems. I don't want to go to fitting the little fitting things that go into my ear. I wanna stay with the disposable tulips.
A friend of mine has a connection with a saleslady for ReSound. I have the left one and it's over the ear or in the ear. It's made my life easier and I like it. I have my own music one and I have my own everyday one, and I keep changing it. I love the fact that through my phone I can just answer it and hear it without touching. I'll pick up the phone as long as I have the phone close by or close to microphone part.
I have just read dozens of reviews about ReSound Hearing Aids and feel so sad that some people have had negative experiences. I have been wearing hearing aids for ten years and am now on my third set. The last two pairs I purchased from Costco. I have been wearing the Resound Cala 8 for three years and can only say good things about my experience with the hearing aids and Costco.
In my opinion the top end hearing aids are pretty similar - it is the competence of the audiologist that makes the big difference. All three of the Audiologists at the Orlando Costco are excellent, but I can't say enough about Frank who has been so patient and caring over the past three years. The aids worked well from the start and Frank paired them with my iPhone and TV streamer. The wire detached from the receiver a couple of times but this was easily fixed while I waited (no appointment necessary). When I felt my hearing was getting worse Frank retested my hearing and upgraded to power receivers and when finally my hearing got really bad he took a custom mold of my ears and replaced the domes.
I now have 30% hearing in each ear and am having Cochlear Implant surgery in one ear on July 8. Three years ago I paid $2,600 for the two aids and most of the upgraded were covered under the warranty or the charge was nominal - $160 for the two custom molds. For value for money and customer service I can't understand why anyone would go anywhere other than Costco.
I have the hearing aids that wrap around your ear and can adjust the sound volume on them. They work very well and are very easy to maintain. The brand is Resound LiNX Quattro which isn't real expensive so an average person can afford them.
They are easy to adjust the sound to cut out any background noise. When updates on my iPhone are done Resound the automatically updates so I don’t have to worry. I like that they are a closed unit so I don’t have to worry about wearing them around the pool, not going under water of course.
Good purchase on the part of the Veterans Administration. I can hear thing life leaves blowing on the grass or falling off the tree. They also help somewhat with my tinnitus.
I have analog hearing aids for long until my hearing worn out. I got Resound digital. The sound is not that great. Sound like microphone sound. I think they should give more option not to discount the old analog hearing aid.
I am glad I took all the advice of my hearing aid fitter person and got the app and linked/synced the app on my iPhone with my Verizon service...and I have the TV thingie so my neighbors don't have to listen to my TV show choices. These are the best hearing aids I've ever owned.
