LiNX Quattro
As we reported on our blog (13/08/2014), Resound has announced the launch of a new premium plus hearing aid called the LiNX Quattro. Resound has announced the launch of a new premium plus hearing aids called the LiNX Quattro. The Quattro works on a completely new chipset from Resound that delivers a huge improvement in processing power and speed. Resound has used that chipset to full effect by completely re-designing their signal processing and the hearing aid features. 
 This is what we know:
·         The devices will only be available in two new technology levels
·         The devices are Receiver In Canal devices
·         The devices are Bluetooth hearing aids
·         The devices use a brand new chip platform
·         The chip has 100% faster processing than 3D
·         The chip has 100% additional memory over the 3D
·         Resound are using a new way of handling directionality inputs
·         They have introduced a redesigned wireless radio with extra signal strength
·         They have extended the bandwidth of the devices giving extra high-frequencies
·         They have increased their dynamic input range, calling it industry leading
·         The devices are available with a Lithium-ion rechargeable battery pack and without 
·         The rechargeable hearing device will deliver 24 hours of use with 50% streaming on a three-hour charge
·         The Lithium-ion devices will deliver 30 hours of use without streaming on a three-hour charge 
·         The Lithium-ion devices will deliver 30 hours of use without streaming on a three-hour charge 
A Lithium-ion Rechargeable Made For iPhone Hearing Aid
The LiNX Quattro LT-61 is a rechargeable direct connection, Bluetooth enabled or Made For iPhone hearing aids just like all the LiNX devices before it. Resound have redesigned the wireless radio though and they say that it is more powerful than ever before. That should translate into pretty stable connection to the iPhone and hopefully Android phones when Android releases the new version. Making it a rechargeable device makes a lot of sense, although they have used the chip upgrades to improve power consumption, a rechargeable option allows you the comfort of never having to worry about hearing aid batteries. The battery life is also fantastic, they say that you will get 24 hours of life even if you are streaming for 50% of the time, that's pretty amazing. The device shown above is the rechargeable option, but they are also offering a traditional hearing aid battery model which is based on the LT-62 using a size thirteen battery.
Premium Plus Price Point
Resound have not introduced the devices as a replacement by hearing aids , rather, they have introduced them as a new premium price point above the LiNX 3D 9 and 7. As I said, they have introduced two RIC models, it will be interesting if the expand the models and the price points. We will keep you updated as to what they do
