The Technology: The new 'ALERA' hearing aid range by GN Resound offers a multitude of advanced features including a 17-channel high speed processor capable of precision frequency shaping, Feedback Stabiliser, Noise Tracker™ II, Environmental Learner, Multi-scope Adaptive Directionality™ and laser made custom shells. New features now also include WhistleControl™ (which almost completely cuts out nuisance whistling on open-fittings and surround sound processing (which gives the full benefit of directionality without losing the fullness of sound which can be experienced by other hearing aids which use bass-cut for noise reduction). The RESOUND ALERA also incorporates impulse sound smoother and an improved wind noise reduction algorithm.

Receiver-in-canal options - The Alera 60 v the Alera 61? The choice here is dependent on whether you want high quality but with maximum discretion, or maximum performance. The Alera 60 RIC is a VERY small behind-ear hearing aid but sacrifices wireless technology
and the programme button so as to be made as small as possible. The Alera 61 is slightly bigger but does have full features and a programme button.
Remote Microphone hearing aids! - This revolutionary style offers a new solution for clients who have experienced problems with wind noise and/or localisation of sounds, whilst also offering a sleek and discreet design option. The remote-microphone comprises of a custom hearing aid component which sits in the ear canal, and a thin-tube/wire connecting to a small microphone which is discreetly tucked into the helix of the ear (image). In a series of laboratory tests this has proven to aid both wind noise reduction and localisation, thus allowing us to eradicate client specific problems. With the advent of whistle block technology the remote-mic now also offers an ideal solution for people looking for an 'open fit' without having something placed behind the ear.

Wireless Connectivity:
GN Resound have joined the race to produce the best wireless compatible hearing aids with their Resound Unite hearing aid accessories which work in unison with the Resound ALERA hearing aids. This includes their first ever remote control working alongside a 'Phone Clip' for streaming telephone calls, and a TV Adaptor for connecting your hearing aids direct to the television. GN Resound were the first company to produce a device that streams the TV completely wirelessly - i.e. the wearer does NOT need to wear a neckloop OR carry a streaming device.
NEW ADDITION - the Resound Mini-Microphone - This device allows wearers to increase speech recognition in noise and over distance problems by giving the wearer a very small clip-on microphone to wear and thus getting the source of the speech sent direct into their hearing aids using the latest 2.4Ghz Resound wireless technology. The mini-microphone can stream to multiple Resound users simultaneously, has a use time of 8 1/2 hours before recharge is needed, has a volume control, a range of 7 metres AND can be plugged into other devices using an audio cable to stream from PC's and MP3's.
