Thread: Resound Linx

  1. #1

    Default Resound Linx

    Hi,
    Went to my Audi today to place an order for the Resound Vevos model 961 or 962 when she told me that Resound will be sending her hardware and software for a new model called Linx. Seems the Linx has the ability to change volume thru your Iphone. Also it is supposed to have the latest and fastest Resound technology. I did not place my order today and she is supposed to get back with me next week when she has the Linx in hand. I will then have to make a choice between the Linx or the 9XX models. As a general rule I never like to buy anything mechanical or electrical when it is "new" because of potential bugs. But since this will be my first aids I want to be sure I have the latest technology.

    Does anyone know anything about this new model?

    Would you purchase aids that are this new to the public?

    Thanks for your input.

  2. Default Resound LinX

    Hi,

    I'm a beta testen of the Resound Linx. It's my first hearing aid so i can't compare with other models but I can say I like it very much.
    it's possible to change volume on my iPhone, ik can also change to several profiles like outdoor, music, etc....
    It's also possible to define places. For instance, I sing in a choir and i made some specific settings on my iphone. After defining those setting i can add these to a specific location based on GPS. So when i'm entering this area within say 50 meters i hear a sound on my hearing aid and the setting for this area are set.

    regards Geert

    Hi, geertkb
    I have not seen hearing aids ReSound LiNX. Now I have so little information about Linx.
    Can you answer a few questions?
    1. Has a programming slot In the hearing aids ReSound Linx? Was Your Audi programmed your LiNX via Bluetooth or cable?
    2. Can you connect hearing aids ReSound LiNX with your computer or laptop via Bluetooth? Is software Windows included?


    Thank you

    Yes, Geert. I too would be very interested in finding more out about these aids as I will possibly be getting a pair in late March.
    What battery does it use? How has the battery life been? Can you turn the volume of a phone conversation up/down while you are on the phone? Do you have any problems with feedback?

    Please do let us know.
    Thank you,
    John

    Once again can you people put up your audiogram in your signature? Typically only audi or very new users post without an audiogram here.

    The only new feature I read from all this is that we can do away with a remote and instead use an iphone to control the aids. but that will come with a lot of annoyances as you may loose control over your aids when the phone is being charged. Of course you can just hang around your phone while it's being charged. also black outs will become even more annoying as you may loose all control over your aids along with having to waste battery power to adjust your aids during those times.

    here's the thread regarding this topic

    imo all this is just so gimmicky.

    What I am curious about is if the sound reproduction quality is improved based on their new processor. They seem to claim this but it will be interesting to see what real experience shows.

    By the way, just figured out how to edit my signature so my audiogram can show.

    I’m a new member of this forum, and have not seen any reviews as yet on the Linx. So this may be the first. I have using hearing aids for 8 years. The latest being a three generation old pare of Re-sound. With less than 24 hours experience the first impression of the new Linx is very positive. First, as general hearing aids, they are far superior to my previous pair. My wife has noticed I have not ask her to repeat herself since i’ve had them. However as of yet, I have not been experienced a wide range of noise situations.


    The interface with my iPhone is impressive, however again, it has only been 24 hours, and perhaps 6 phone calls. Sound quality is excellent, and reports of my voice have been also excellent, even with the iPhone in my shirt pocket, under a sweater. Only issue is that there is a delay between the point of connecting with a call and the time the sound is heard in the hearing aids. Perhaps 3 seconds for one ear, and a couple more for the second.


    The app does a good job of adjusting the volume, and tone. During a call the phone adjusts the volume of the call, and the app adjust the ambient sound.


    Tried out iTunes music and it was excellent.


    This was the first units my audiologist paired, and it took a while, including a call to Re-Sound, but once that was accomplished, the hearing aids have paired, after each disconnect, without problems.


    The “Place” function is geographical, using the iPhone location system to identify locations. I’m not sure of the benefit of this vs. using the old mode function, but we’ll see.


    I have a follow-up visit with my audiologists on Monday, to do additional tweaking of the system.


    At this point I think Re-Sound should consider a compressive user manual for the overall system.


    I can see some potential improvements in the app, but all in all and am very very satisfied with them.

    Hi all, for those interested, one of the readers at my blog posted the longest review of the LiNX I have been able to find online, just scroll down to the comments section, here. I would have copied and pasted it here but I don't have his permission.

    Hi Jeff: I'm very new to this Forum, so, If you were referring to my post, you have my permission do with it whatever you would like. I hope it helps anyone considering the Linx.
