"Even when you can hear speech well, the sensation of sound sources being balanced and knowing precisely where they are coming from is just a lovely thing." 

“My life has been transformed.”

“My family all say that I am speaking much quieter and in fact on occasion I’ve had to repeat myself because they haven’t heard me! They are not irritated by hearing loss anymore.”

“I now have even more confidence in my ability to communicate, knowing that with declining hearing, I have a comfortable safety margin of range, clarity, and volume to help me enjoy life to the full.”

“Having this remote option actually increased the continuation of a personalised service.”

"My confidence on the phone has grown a tremendous amount over the last 3 years."

"Working in a forest I now hear several different calls from birds, woodpeckers, rabbits rustling, squirrels climbing and the leaves swaying in the wind." 

"The sound quality is great. I get a better sense of surround sound or stereo than when relying on my hearing aids alone. This is probably due to the greater number of microphones."

"The device is so small no one can notice and even if it wasn’t, the benefits it brings far outweigh any doubts I previously had."

"Over the past year of using ReSound LiNX2 I have received numerous comments that both the quality of my voice has improved and volume levels have gone down."

"They set up the Bluetooth connection and played the song. I literally burst into tears. It was a moment of joy I shall never forget."

"The impact on him has been transformational. His confidence has rocketed and he finds it much easier to understand the tasks set by his teacher."

"The hearing aids are the best thing I’ve ever spent my money on - they’re just so good, and have had such a massive effect on my lifestyle and also my happiness."

"Everything had to be repeated – which really frustrated my daughter. But now I hear them first time."

"It’s the little things that make the real difference. I can’t describe it. The only way I can put it is that the atmosphere feels lighter."
