ReSound hearing aid models, prices, and reviews

Hi, I’m a minister and hearing is very vital to what I do. I got ReSound hearing aids and I love them. I’ve got a hearing loss that I can’t understand the words, but with the ReSound, you see them here, they’re discreet, they’re in my ears, and I can actually hear people talking, in the background, in front of me, I can watch TV without blasting everybody out of the room. It’s a very positive product, a very good product. I’ve had a pair before that lasted a good 7 years and I got them renewed for up to 10 years, and I just got a new pair, I’m hoping to get another 10 years out of them. But I recommend them, I recommend the people, Rick, who did it, my buddy, just an excellent person. But um, I’m really impressed with the product and it’s very good for me, thank you.

Hello my name is Gary, I’m 69 years old and I live in Virginia Beach, Virginia. I've had hearing issues most of my life which has mainly affected my hearing at the high frequencies. As a young person my hearing was just a little bit below normal so I could get by without hearing aids but as I've aged my hearing loss has become more severe as a result. I’ve been wearing hearing aids for the last 20 years. I’m currently on my 4th set of hearing aids which I've purchased my latest set from ZipHearing. And this is the model I chose. This is the ReSound Omnia and I chose this model for several reasons. The first, I chose it because it's a RIE, or receiver in ear, model and it has the power I need for my particular type of hearing loss which is pretty severe. Plus the fact the majority of the hearing aid is actually situated behind the ear which makes it inconspicuous. The second reason I chose this is because it's a rechargeable model uh there are no batteries, I just stick it in the charger at night which comes with the hearing aids, this is right it goes in the right hand side. I wake up in the morning and it's charged so there's no maintenance, or batteries, buying batteries, and storing batteries that sort of thing like that. Third I chose this because it has a button on the top that you can control right here, you can control it locally with the hearing aid itself or Resound has an app that you can use on your smartphone. You can control it from your smartphone if you have bluetooth. I chose this model because I use the bluetooth a lot that's mostly how I control it. I have 4 programs situated in this hearing aid. And one is for normal hearing which is uh like we are now, one is for noisy environments such as restaurants and things like that, one is for outside and uh one is for music. So, also as a side note I struggle with tinnitus, uh ringing in the ears. Resound provides a tinnitus app which I downloaded to my smartphone and I can play various sounds that help overcome the ringing and I find this very helpful. So, would I recommend these hearing aids? Absolutely. I've owned these ReSound Omnias for about 3 months and they have been great, I’ve had no issues with them whatsoever. As I previously mentioned, these ReSound Omias are my 4th set of hearing aids. My previous 3 sets were made by Starkey, which I purchased through a local hearing specialist brick and mortar store. I was happy with the Starkey hearing aids but my last pair was about 6 years old and technology had passed it by. So I probably would have stayed with the Starkey, but my hearing, my ZipHearing specialist Sean Buttler recommended the ReSound hearing aids and I’m completely satisfied, I’m glad he did. Not to mention the fact that I saved a significant amount of money going through ZipHearing. So if I had one piece of advice for anybody who is considering hearing aids, I would say contact ZipHearing and they'll put you in touch with a hearing specialist that can analyze your hearing problem and provide a recommendation on a model that you can try before you buy, okay? Thank you very much.

Hi, my name is Marian and I want to tell you a little bit about myself and about why I got the hearing aids from zip hearing. I put off getting hearing aids for a long time. I'd probably say the last four years and at the age of 76 and which was actually I got them about six months ago and I'll be 77 next month. So, I put it off for a long time. But anyway, I'm kicking myself now because I wish I had gotten them sooner. I didn't realize like how much I really truly was missing. And I put them off because friends and family members, including my husband, were having problems with their hearing aids that they had gotten from another manufacturer. And the ones I ended up getting are resound GN, read a lot online about them, a lot of good reviews. So, we decided to give it a try. I'll show them to you here. This is the case where I put them in each night to charge them. I decided to do it this way rather than getting the ones with batteries because I didn't want to have to always be changing the batteries. Like in the middle of, you know, wherever we were or whatever we were doing. So this has been working out really well. Here they are. They're little. Very little. And they're very simple. To put on. So just slip it up here and then slip this part in here and the same thing with the other side and we don't know if you can see them here, just tiny. And people can't believe, even when I show them that I have hearing aids. They are like, but I can't see them. I can't see them. So, it just sucks in here like this and tucks in here like that. And you push them in far not going to hurt anything. And I don't know if you can even see them, but there they are. Anyway, like I said, they're called the resound GN and, I decided to go ahead and give these a try. And I have found that especially when I'm with a group of people, that they, I cannot believe how much better I hear my hair is getting in the way right now. But anyway, there we go. I had a really hard time before hearing people, especially when we're in a group and if someone was sitting even in a small room, the further away they were, the more I wasn't able to hear them. But now with these on, I can hear them fine. And I'm, I can't believe that I was missing out on so much before. I don't have to continually say to people, you know, what did you say, repeat that. Please talk louder or anything like that. I just want to encourage you, if you've been thinking you should get hearing aids or your family is telling you should get hearing aids, you really, really should go ahead and try the resound hearing aids. They're excellent and they're worth every penny, so don't put it off. Go ahead and get your resound hearing aids.

Hi, my name is Bob S, I’m 91 years old, or actually will be 91 a week from yesterday. I started using hearing aids some 15 to 20 years ago, and my hearing has become poorer and poorer over time as I grew older, and in fact today I don’t hear very much if I don’t have my hearing aids in, unless my wife shouts at me, or something of that order. To get to my hearing aids, who I bought them from, we moved from a ski resort up in the mountains of New Mexico some 15 years ago, and I was wearing hearing aids that I bought out there, and I’ve forgotten what name they were, but when I got to Texas, I happened to come onto a dealer that I really liked who had good audiologists working for him, and he sold ReSound hearing aids, so I started with him and I’ve probably had maybe 5 different ReSound hearing aids since I started with them. My current ones are the ReSound ONEs, and let me take one of these off and see if we can get a picture of it. Do we see that? Yeah I believe we do see that. You can see that I’ve got molds which help my hearing, my hearing is so bad that with the normal things that you wear in your ear, molds help you better because they close out almost all of the sound other than what you’re hearing from your hearing aids. I chose ReSound because they work for me and I’ve recommended them to all my friends and all that wear hearing aids, and I did that because they work for me and I’m very comfortable with them. So let me tell you another thing, my advice to anybody wearing hearing aids is two fold. First, don’t wait too long to get your hearing aids. I waited a long time and I got tired of my wife saying “you’ve got poor hearing”, and I said “no, I don’t have poor hearing, I’ve just got selecting hearing.” At any rate, don’t wait too long, it’s better to get into them and start getting adjusted to them, it takes a little bit of adjustment. And the second reason and the most important one as far as I’m concerned, is find a place that’s got an audiologist that you can work with and that your comfortable working with and he or she is comfortable working with you. This is important because you need to not only adjust them when you buy them, but they need to be continually adjusted. As people get older, their hearing changes, and I’ve had many hearing tests with audiologists because that’s the way they can tell my hearing was changing and they can readjust my hearing aids. But that’s probably the most important thing that I can give to you- is find a specialist that you’re comfortable with and they work with you and they’re happy working with you, because it’s an important part of it. You just can’t go buy them on the web or wherever you would like to buy them and get them touched up once and then if you don’t have somebody to continue to do it, you’re going to be in trouble with your hearing aids, I have a lot of friends that never wear their hearing aids because they never got them to work for them, and this is probably the main reason why they didn’t work for them- they never kept them adjusted to their hearing. Well there you go, here’s my little interview, I hope it’s helpful for some people. But life for hearing aids is certainly a lot better than life without hearing aids.

Hi everybody, I recently had an opportunity to purchase some new hearing aids so I thought I would share a little feedback with you all. I wanted to share first about my hearing history. I have bought a new pair of hearing aids starting with when I turned 12 years old, I was diagnosed with hereditary hearing loss in the 7th grade, and therefore have been wearing hearing aids in both ears ever since. The type of hearing aid that I just bought is called the ReSound One 9, and it was a new thing for me actually to go to the ReSound. I heard about it from my audiologists that I had been working with, it’s not necessarily like me to try something new, but I thought, why not. So I started the search for new hearing aids and at first felt very overwhelmed as I always do, because there are so many options out there, but after looking into it, I decided that it was the one for me. Some pros to the ReSound- I love music, and I love listening to music, so this is the first pair of hearing aids I’ve had that have Bluetooth in them and that has been amazing for streaming and it’s been very enjoyable to be able to listen to music in that way. There are different programs and features that I’ve never had before, such as wind reduction, a noise reduction for outside, I’m outside a lot, working outside a lot. There’s a restaurant program, there’s the ability to clarify speech sounds and also filter out noises, background noises and such. Those are pros for me. I didn’t think I would use different programs very much but I’ve found that I very much enjoy them. Some negatives I guess, so I’m gonna show you them now. Some negatives. This goes on the negative side actually. So, I have never worn a hearing aid before that is so small, it is only a con I guess I would say because I have never worn one, and it’s not even really a con, that is so, you see the dome and you see the wire here, that’s what you pull on to get it on and off, for me that at first was a con because I’ve never worn hearing aids that you put it on and off by taking the wire, you have to push your finger in towards the eardrum, to get this piece in your canal, and you pull out on the wire, and to me that was like very counterintuitive, I was like oh my goodness I can’t do that, I’m gonna break it. Like I said it’s not even like a real con because I’ve gotten used to it, in the last couple weeks it’s no longer like a big issue, but at first I was like oh my goodness these are really fiddly and strange, but they’re actually great, and the dome ended up being a pro too because they’re really comfortable. It’s a different feeling from having an ear piece and I thought oh I’m gonna have like these really plugged ear feelings going on but they’re good, I enjoy them a lot. I would definitely recommend them, I’m trying to think of specific reasons why that I have not already stated, I guess I’d recommend them because of the fit. It is very convenient, the domes are very convenient. The programming, the streaming, the Bluetooth, that’s definitely a major pro for me and I would recommend the ReSound. A piece of advice that I would share with everybody is look, hearing aids are really hard to buy, and I guess, if you’ve never been there you don’t really understand it, but it’s super overwhelming, there’s like way too many options out there, they’re super expensive, it’s like a major financial commitment, for those of us who pay out of pocket. Piece of advice, it was a huge gift to stumble upon the ZipHearing videos. Okay, so they do reviews on different hearing aids, I learned about major brands, that are kind of like go-tos, that really narrowed it down from like hundreds of options to like 6 major brands, so I was able to go from there, and single in on what I purchased. So my advice to you would be to go with ZipHearing, or any other reviews you can find on Youtube, or talk to other people that wear them, get as much advice as possible, because I had been given other advice, by a different audiologist, for a different pair, and I just didn’t feel right about it. I didn’t feel right about the brand for me, and I’m glad that I kept looking. I’m glad that I found ZipHearing and I’m glad that I found the ReSound One 9. Thanks

Hello, my name is Kevin. I am a retired attorney, and I am going to review some hearing aids. My history of looking into hearing aids is that for a couple of years now, I have noticed that it was a hard time hearing and understanding people's especially some people, some people's registers seem to be hard for me to hear. In addition, my wife was having difficulty hearing, and so I decided that I had better go in and have my hearing tested. I had it tested, and I came back with moderate hearing loss. They recommended the audiologist that I went to recommended that I purchase some hearing aids. So, we talked about what brand of hearing aids to purchase and why I decided to buy the Resound, hearing aids, the Omnia series 9 rechargeable hearing aids, and I bought them for a couple of reasons. One reason is that they integrated very nicely with my iPhone. I can make calls through my hearing aids. I can stream podcasts and YouTube videos and whatnot through my hearing aid, through my hearing aids, and I can control my hearing aids through the app that works on my iPhone. I also had a chance to test a couple of different hearing aids in the office, and I found that the Resound hearing aids were better at improving the high end of the spectrum where I had difficulty hearing. And so, I decided that I would go ahead and purchase those. So here I am going to show you a picture of the hearing aids. Here are the hearing aids. They fit behind my ears. And in fact, they are very comfortable. And after an hour or two wearing them, I do not even feel like I have them in my ears. And here is a charger. The charger that I we use, and you put them in the charger, and they are inductively charged so you do not have to worry about plugging something in. I would like if anybody were thinking about hearing aids, I would recommend going immediately or as soon as possible to have your hearing tested and decide whether a hearing aid is appropriate. The audiologist tells me from my own research, I believe it is true that purchasing hearing aids and using them for their hearing loss can be halted. And in addition, it is just better hearing. It is just a better experience. I connect better with people, and I can hear better. It is just and it is a better experience. And for some reason there is a bit of a stigma attached to hearing aids. I am not sure why I wear glasses. I have worn glasses since I was in fourth grade, but there does seem to be a bit of a stigma attached to hearing aids, and I do not think there should be. If you have hearing loss, hearing aids help quite a bit. Anyway, I hope that helps.
