ReSound Hearing Aids

My hearing loss was only 30% on the right side and on the left side, I’m deaf. I did a lot of research online and I found ReSound Hearing Aids to be the best one in technology. I like the way how it works if you need to set it up. You can do it online with the professional. And of course, I like the Bluetooth. I purchased the 7 LiNX 3D. However, I’m a little frustrated because it seems like when I’m outside and if I put my phone in my pocket, the hearing aids stop in the middle. The Bluetooth, the music, or the podcast stops. But usually, when I’m inside at home, it works better.

I've had a gradual hearing loss for years and I'm 72 years old now. I worked about 26 years in heavy industry around gas carbons so it was a natural hearing loss. I lived in Little Rock, Arkansas at the time and I had an annual hearing test after I retired about four years ago. The clinic there recommended the ReSound hearing aids and I got that one.

I had Siemens for about four years when we were in Arizona. We moved to South Carolina and my hearing was getting worse, so I went to an ENT doctor and then the audiologist in his office talked about ReSound and I ended up getting that. I dealt with the local office here in Bluffton, South Carolina who got the hearing aids from ReSound. I had a problem with my hearing aids and ReSound replaced it. The company through which I bought it had a 45-day trial period, which I'm still in that. If I don't like them, I can return them to get my money back. I've just had a little bit of a problem with crackling sounds in one of them which is sometimes annoying. I also told the technician where I'm going that the hearing aids didn't seem as sturdy as the Siemens that I had. When I grab and put the dome in my ear, the whole unit doesn't seem all that solid although it seems to be functioning okay. For the most part, the hearing aids have been fairly good.

I could get by with a lot of, “What? Whats?” without hearing aids, but I certainly needed one as I had to have things loud and I was missing out on some conversations and things. I have a set of hearing aids that I got from an insurance company, but they were not working really well for me. They were not comfortable and the sound quality was not very good, so I ended up not wearing them.

I was having trouble making my previous hearing aids work with my phone. I did some research to find out which one would work with my iPhone and ReSound seemed to be one who was the best. There wasn't any that paired right up with the iPhone as smooth and seamlessly as ReSound did. I got the behind-the-ear hearing aids from them and there's an app that goes on my phone that lets me control the volume and have some specialized programs that I can link right directly to the hearing aids.

I have had three sets of Resound hearing aids and now with the Linx. Aids are good quality and cost about $2500 a pair through Costco. Resound has a nice bluetooth rechargeable accessory microphone for multiple uses including clipping on to the collar of your companion in a noisy restaurant. Unfortunately, Resound makes the $15 battery in these microphones NOT REPLACEABLE by glueing on the cover. They will ONLY sell you a new $250 unit with the $15 battery fails. It IS possible to change out the battery, but only by destroying the case of the microphone. Resound must be needing profits badly!

I can’t hear the TV when they place music. I contacted ReSound and got hearing aids for both ears. I did research. And I went to Costco, and ReSound was cheaper than anybody else. The sales representatives were great too. They're very thorough. I'm really impressed with the size of the hearing aids. They're very small. Most of the time, it works well. It depends on what setting you put it on. It’s like sometimes if I have it on speech clarity and we’re eating dinner, and someone's putting the pots and pans away, it’s really loud. But I told the guy from ReSound about it, and he toned it down. And it’s still a little loud, but I don’t have another appointment with him for a couple of months. So, I’ll tell him about it. I’m pleased with my ReSound. It helps me hear what I’m missing on the TV.

I had significant hearing loss on both ears and Costco recommended ReSound to me. My hearing improved since using them but there was a program update and it has made life far more difficult for me. If I have my hearing aids in and I look at the ReSound application, in many cases, I find that this application is not turned on and I have to hit the button to turn it on. I’m not happy with the fact that it turns off. I don’t like what they did in making what worked well something that I’m not sure when it’s working and when it’s not.

I have been a hearing aid user since 1994...25 years and I have NEVER had as much trouble with hearing aids as I have these!!! I have molds rather than the domes because of the severe hearing loss I have as a result of Meniere's Disease. The left mold has been sent back 5 times due to loose speaker wires and speaker problems, now I am having to make another round trip of 180 miles to my audiologist because now the speaker wire in the right one is coming out!!!! Not to mention if the least little bit of sweat gets in the aid it won't work or has a TERRIBLE static noise! I am completely fed up with RESOUND!!!! They have to be sent off to be repaired. They are then gone for 2 1/2 weeks. I have to work and if I can't hear I can't work!!! NO MORE RESOUND FOR ME!!!! Miss my Oticon's!!!!

I purchased the ReSound hearing aid to help me hear better. I DO NOT have an iPhone, so that part doesn't do me any good! The aid does not work as it should! The seller told me to try them for a while, get used to them. Giving the benefit of doubt, I tried, and continue to try. It's been a year now, I have went back for adjusting. While they do amplify a little, I still cannot hear well with them... I have two, over $6000 worth! I hear what sound like my fingers in my ears, amplified. The soft tips were vented to help with the "finger in ear" sound. It does help a little with that part. If I were to purchase again, I would not purchase the ReSound. I do not have the money to throw away, which I feel that I did with these. I hope my review helps others from making the same mistake.

My hearing aids were replaced twice by ReSound at no charge. The third time they gave me the new Quattro Model. These Quattro hearings are GREAT. Finally!

The Smart 3D software is abysmal. I use an Android phone. I have been talking to ReSound Support for almost a year about quirks, problems and failures. Well, these guys are experts! Experts at dodging the questions; experts at blaming everyone for their failures. They have no helpful answers at all. They take no responsibility for anything and give out “buckets” of erroneous information.

I purchased the ReSound Linx2 model 61 in October 2016. Several months later I began having issues with the microphone or receivers. In 2 1/2 years I have made numerous trips back to where I purchased them (120 mi roundtrip), sometimes they can be fixed in house, many times been sent in for repair (?). I estimate they have been repaired at least 15 times in 2 1/2 years. I have been wearing hearing aids for 12 years and these are by far THE WORST. I have asked for them to be replaced without any luck. DON'T waste tour money on ReSound.

I got a LiNX 3D Mini 61 and although I still had hearing before, it’s better with the ReSound hearing aids. I’m a veteran and the Veterans Association is the one that prescribed ReSound. When I went to Wilkes-Barre VA to get my hearing aids, they took them out of the box, put them in my ears and said, “There you go, as long as you can hear.” But there are four settings on the top where you can push the buttons and none of them were set. I’m having a heck of a time with it too right now. They don’t want me to control them. I got the app in my phone and that’s what I’m trying to do now. But all it says is to reboot the hearing aids and when I reboot them, it would say it has found the hearing aids. But that’s all it does. Then it just runs and runs. I called them this morning though, and I got an appointment for tomorrow morning. Other than that, the quality of the hearing aids is good.

I got ReSound's LiNX Quattro for the price and from recommendation of the purveyor. I used the iPhone app quite briefly. The app's pretty pathetic. The filtering with the tunes and things used to be not working well. When I change the volumes, the volume doesn't change until you stop the motion. So it's not a gradual adjustment of the volume. You can't set a number, and then suddenly the volume changes. You set the number, the volume changes again. It could be made more instantaneous. I don't think I'd been more disappointed in a purchase in my adult life I have with the ReSound Hearing aid.

I had moderate hearing loss and Karen, the Advanced Hearing Aid Solutions owner, provided me with all kinds of information that I requested about ReSound, the Danish company, and I was overwhelmed by what I found. She was absolutely wonderful and very high on the list. So, I decided to get a Quattro 9. Since then, everything has been great. Controlling them with the app on the iPhone is just unbelievable. If we go to a concert or a restaurant, I take advantage of it to shut out all the extraneous noise and just focus on the party at the table. I also have the mini mic which is a great tool. ReSound is is top-notch. It's superior compared to Phonak which I had 10 years ago. I have recommended ReSound to several people and to some that have hearing aids and are very unhappy with them. In fact, a neighbor who visited Karen a couple of days ago bought hearing aids right on the spot and she’s been very happy.

I had moderate hearing loss and bought ReSound hearing aids that work with a Bluetooth telephone. Before we got it, it seemed like I don't hear as good. I like the app. The only problem I have is I'm on oxygen, and I swear a lot, especially if my oxygen level drops and it makes the receiver react. I probably had the receiver replaced maybe every two months.

I just received my ReSound LiNX Quattro hearing aids from the Veterans Administration. I could not stop giggling while walking to the car. I could hear the wind, the birds, my footsteps. I can hear again! Great units that fit comfortably behind my ears with my glasses on. Bluetooth technology for my iPhone, iPad, etc. They are rechargeable so no replacing batteries, and I can control the sound from my phone. Thank you VA for providing top of the line equipment.

These hearing aids are absolute garbage!!! Never buy these. ReSound is uncaring and clueless... I threw $6000.00 out the window and have only had this garbage for four months. Newest technology!!! $6000.00 JUNK!!!

I have had several sets of ReSound aids. They have been great. I have ReSound LiNX 3D aids that were great until I upgraded Apple phone to XS. Now connectivity to aids and car are very bad. ReSound said there is a problem connecting to IOS 11. There is no fix and none in sight.

My ReSound Linx2 hearing aids come from Veterans Affairs, and were a distinct improvement over my older Siemens hearing aids. I've worn them for 2 years, but just recently I've had problems with other phones taking over the bluetooth connection to my hearing aids. There doesn't appear to be any way I have discovered to prevent it. I've emailed ReSound, but of course was ignored. It's happening more frequently lately; I was even hacked on the NJ Turnpike in a moving car. With this happening many (10 or more) times a day, I've stopped wearing the hearing aids rather than put up with the changing programs and constant dinging. I'm asking the VA for another manufacturer, these are not working for me.

I sent the below email to ReSound on May 30th 2018 and still I've heard nothing from them. I've even stayed on hold for hours trying to contact them by phone with no results as well. It seems that all they are interested in is sales not customer satisfaction. "I bought my ReSound LiNX hearing aids at Audio ** in Oklahoma City a little over 2 years ago. I’ve had nothing but problems with them from the beginning. After about a year in and having so many problems I asked for my money back and Dr. ** said he could change them out for a more robust model, and I agreed. (I shouldn’t have.) They were NOT more robust and I continue to have the same problems with them.

My father was visiting from India and all of a sudden, he could listen very less with his hearing aids. We got in touch with one of the ReSound dealers here and we went to them. We got an appointment and the rep had a look at the device but there was no testing mechanism. Some cables were missing because this model was like two and a half years old, so he did not have those instrument or some set-up that needs to be connected to the device. The rep cleaned the device and tried to remove the moisture that was there. It was improved for one week but the issue was still persistent. My father is going back to India and show that device to the agent over there and see what can be done after that.

My wife has around 80% hearing loss and I got the Verso 9 from ReSound. There was a good salesman here in our town that sold it to us. My experience with ReSound has been terrible though. They lost one store that sold their product here in Bakersfield and I was trying to get some help because my wife’s hearing aid needed adjustment and needed to be fixed but ReSound said that I would have to drive to Los Angeles to get it done. I asked if I can send the hearing aids and they said no.

I’ve had my Resound hearing aids for a year and couldn’t be happier. I’m so sad for those who bought theirs from an audiologist rather than from Costco. I cringe when I see that people have paid $5-7000. My pair from Costco cost $2800. That includes a 60 day no questions asked return policy, a three year warranty, free replacement for each if lost, no cost cleaning and adjustments. There have been some issues with coordinating with iPhone iOS upgrades, but each has been resolved with time. I love controlling them with my phone or Apple Watch. I can think of no reason to buy hearing aids any place other than Costco. If you don’t have a membership, you’ll save the cost in a minute.

This is my first set of hearing aids. Three months now and working flawlessly. The iPhone app is amazing! I can clean up the sound or I can focus on conversations. Worked wonders in a restaurant with echoing noise. I wear these 14 hours a day. Took a little accommodating at first, now I don't notice them. I've noticed other users appear to be having quality issues, but this is not (yet?) my experience. I'm over 60 y.o. and the phone app is not a challenge to use. Battery life is about 5 days. My quality of life has increased and I regret not looking into a hearing aid sooner.

I've had ReSound hearing aids for several years now. They're behind the ear and I also use the iPhone app with the phone clip. The app does the job but it could be more robust. If I have my Bluetooth turned on, anything that comes into my phone that makes a normal noise like a text message or email, the hearing aids cut out. I hear the tone and then they come back on and there's no way to silence that without actually turning it off on my phone itself. So, I'd have to turn off all notifications all the time on my phone in order to not hear that.

I got these for my son as they were recommended. I completely regret it. He couldn’t hear well with them from day one. He was told to wear them for two weeks to get used to them. The only time he heard well was when he was streaming media through them, but normal conversation was too low to hear without the use of the microphone. These have been broken since we got them. We are now trying to get them replaced for the second time. This is extremely hard since I am a single mom and miss work each time this happens. My son has been unaided unable to hear this entire school year due to all the squealing and issues he has had. These are junk and I regret ever switching from Phonak. Even if these do get replaced, this company can’t replace my time, money lost, or my son’s 8th grade year!!

After numerous trips to have my ReSound hearing aids looked at, replaced I am at the end. Very expensive pieces of junk. They have given me new ones only to have the new ones do what the old ones did. I continually get a static noise in my left hearing aid. It’s a pain to have to go in every three weeks. If I could give these a fraction of a star I would. Buyer Beware. Save your money and get something better. Resound is crappy distorted sound.

I have 40% to 50% hearing loss in both ears. My doctor referred me to Resound and got me hearing aids from them. I'm currently using the model that goes inside and around the back of my ear and they've been working fine. Additionally, I've been using the iPhone app for my Bluetooth. I like the app for as long as it's not messed with.

My ReSound hearing aids have gone through batteries like I wouldn't believe. In less than a month, I went over 20 batteries and that was all I got done. It was driving me nuts. I thought maybe they would be able to change them to rechargeable batteries, so I called their people. The interesting thing was that the lady I talked to didn't seem to know very much about hearing aids. She didn't know whether they could or couldn't be converted, or if they did or didn't have a rechargeable battery hearing aid. They need to get someone who knows about their hearing aids. Other than that, they're good aids. I've had hearing aids since 1981 and these ones are probably the best hearing aids I've ever had.
