Quattro. Resound has announced the launch of a new
premium plus hearing aids called the LiNX Quattro. The Quattro works on a

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
