Since 1872, GN Hearing has been dedicated to innovation and solving essential problems. 2018 has been no different, and in this year GN Hearing has launched two major innovations for people living with hearing loss.

The first is designed for people who want the very best that technology has to offer: ReSound LiNX Quattro™, the world’s first Premium-Plus hearing aid. With its 6th generation of 2.4GHz wireless connectivity, ReSound LiNX QuattroTM has the highest input dynamic range available and delivers superior sound quality with Layers of Sound™, where softer sounds are clearer and louder sounds are fuller and distortion free. It is designed for people who desire a brilliant sound experience with great speech intelligibility even in noisy situations. In addition, it has the longest rechargeable battery life available with an integrated Lithium-ion battery with 24 hours of use even when streaming 50% of the time. 

This innovation in sound has also been matched by an innovation in accessibility. GN Hearing has recently entered a partnership with Google to stream sound directly from Android devices to two hearing aids for the first time without using an intermediate device. The collaboration focuses on developing new technologies and aims to drastically improve users’ experience of both their Android smartphone and their hearing aid. GN Hearing will be the first manufacturers to support this update.
