The new software update represents the latest advancement in Made for iPhone connectivity for hearing aids – an entirely new addition for the direct streaming of iPhone and iPad audio.
In 2013 GN Hearing introduced the first Made for iPhone hearing aids that offered streaming directly from Apple devices. ReSound ONE hearing aid users can stream all day long with confidence, knowing they are connected to the world around them in the most intuitive and natural way – something ReSound champions with their Organic Hearing philosophy. Utilizing Apple’s recent iOS15 and iPadOS 15 software update with added support for bi-directional hearing devices, ReSound ONE hearing aids greatly improve the hearing experience for iPhone and iPad users with more efficient battery management, reliable audio streaming, and entirely new hands-free calling. When connecting in person is challenging, making communication more accessible through technology is crucial, particularly for those living with hearing loss. I can use my iPhone exactly the same way as I did before my hearing deteriorated which is extremely important to me.” I don’t have to put everything down, which has proved useful in a recording studio environment. With this new technology, it makes it a lot easier to call people without having to stop what I’m doing and hold my phone to talk. Musician Sivu, who lives with hearing loss, has been trying out ReSound ONE with the hands-free technology: “Like everyone else I use my iPhone a lot to keep in touch with family and friends that I can’t see in person. The new technology is a great solution for conversations while multitasking, for example, when cooking, carrying groceries, being at work, or when the iPhone or iPad is simply out of reach. ReSound ONE users will be able to answer calls with just a tap on their hearing aids and enjoy conversations with outstanding sound quality - all without ever having to take their device out of their pocket.
At a time when human connection has never been more important, iPhone and iPad users can soon use ReSound ONE hearing aids as a hands-free headset to talk to family and friends.īALLERUP, Denmark – 29 October 2021 – GN Hearing, the global leader in hearing aid innovation, today announced that ReSound ONE TM hearing aids will offer hands-free phone and FaceTime calls from iPhone and iPad.
