ReSound Hearing Aids
Manufacturers / ReSound Hearing Aids
Originally founded as Danovox in 1943, the company’s first hearing aid was released in 1947. After Danavox was purchased by GN, the parent company began producing hearing aids with the ReSound trademark in 1984, releasing its first hearing aid that utilized digital processing in 1992.
As part of the GN Group, a leader in worldwide distribution of hearing aids in 80 countries, ReSound plays a lead role as the group’s innovation leader, conducting medical, professional, and consumer audio solutions research in order to develop, manufacture, and distribute med-tech, hearables, and intelligent audio products.
Clear evidence of the company’s commitment to provide their hearing aid users with advanced hearing care solutions is reflected in ReSound’s guiding philosophy, “Rediscovering your hearing leads to a richer, more active, and fulfilling lifestyle.”
Among ReSound’s leading innovations are open-standard digital chip technology and improved programming flexibility, which first became available in 2003 with the release of the ReSound AIR open fit design, which helped to provide more natural sound and limit the discomfort of a plugged ear canal common among hearing aids prior to its development.

The Organic Hearing Concept
Thanks to a commitment to keeping nature and science in balance, ReSound developed their Organic Hearing concept, designed to work with the unique anatomy of your ear and mimic how sounds are naturally collected and delivered to your brain.
Organic hearing led to the production of the most intuitive and natural sounding hearing aids capable of delivering a complete sound picture so that your hearing aids fit your lifestyle rather than you fitting your life around your hearing challenges.
Features of the organic hearing technology include Wide Dynamic Range Compression (WDRC), allowing you to select the sounds you want to listen to and tone down the ones you don’t by adjusting sound input intensity, while Digital Feedback Suppression (DFS) technology eliminates issues with howling (feedback) and distortion.

The Importance of Scheduling a Hearing Assessment
Because it is the beginning of identifying the type and severity of hearing loss in order to customize a plan of treatment or preventive measures, scheduling a hearing assessment is a critical step in receiving better hearing care.
Even when a measurable hearing loss is not detected during a hearing assessment, the results establish a baseline against which future deterioration can be measured.
To ensure your hearing health, do not delay having a hearing test. Take the first step on the journey to better hearing and a healthier life by scheduling a hearing assessment today.
