This is an essential hearing aid range
Â
Launched on 30/04/2021, Resound Key offers consumers a full line-up of hearing aid styles in their new 'essentials' range - which replaces the original, and now discontinued, Resound Enya. This range will give those with hearing loss a chance to experience clear and natural sound, advanced Bluetooth connectivity and convenient rechargeability at a great price point. Â
The Resound Key range incorporates the C5 processing chip platform, which was originally seen in the LiNX Quattro range platform. For clarification, you are benefitting from good sound processing, but in a lower-end Quattro model in this essential range.

Incorporating Resound's Organic Hearing philosophy, this digital hearing aid's extensive range will provide a hearing solution for a variety of hearing loss levels, lifestyle needs and connectivity preferences. You can enjoy direct streaming with both Apple and Android devices, as well as benefiting from low-energy Bluetooth.
In reality, far too many people with hearing loss neglect their health by not seeking medical help early and avoiding treatment. This is often due to the prices of hearing aids on the market. This is something that Resound wanted to challenge and with Key digital hearing aids, they are hoping that this portfolio gives people access to optimum hearing and professional hearing healthcare.
Resound Key is available in ten hearing aid styles, including the rechargeable Receiver-in-Ear (RIE) design, custom-made, super-power (SP) and Behind-the-Ear (BTE) options. Please remember that you do lose the direct Bluetooth streaming and rechargeable hearing aid functionalities with the lowest performance level - the Resound Key 2.  So, if connectivity and rechargeability are important to you, the higher specifications would be better choices.
Foe example, the rechargeable model is available at tech level 4 only. In terms of streaming – Technology levels 3 & 4 have direct streaming from iOS and Android (Android smartphones that support direct streaming). All technology levels – Resound Key 2, 3 & 4 work with the app (ReSound Smart 3D) and our wireless accessories.
Â
Rechargeable Hearing Aids (RIC):Â This is considered to be the longest duration of power, which is charged easily with a small and discreet charging case.
Receiver-in-Ear (RIE): This is Resound's main design which provides a comfortable fit behind the ear, as the receiver sits inside your ear. This is also available in the mini RIE.
Behind-the-Ear (BTE):Â Â The receiver is within the device itself - allowing sound to be transmitted through the tube and into your ear.
Custom-made ITE:Â These models are pretty much invisible and wireless models that sit inside your ear, as well as being custom-made for the most comfortable fit that matches your ear's shape.
With Resound Key and the Resound Assist Live app, you can access professional support remotely - offering a great telehealth solution to those with hearing loss. Your audiologist can make adjustments, reprogram and organise video consultations. So you can have the confidence to organically evolve with your hearing aid devices, learn to grow with your hearing and develop a professional relationship with your audiologist.
