Our review of Resound Linx 3D 961 Receiver In Canal hearing aids:
- Hearing Aid Source Review: “Our initial reaction to the Gloss Black finish of the Resound Linx 3D hearing aids from a look and feel perspective, was this was a nice looking hearing aid. The casing of Resound Linx 3D felt like a solidly built product that would last for years of regular use. When we tested Resound Linx 3D in our own ears, we use a flat, 40 dB hearing loss configuration using the NAL-NL2 fitting formula and medium power receivers with power domes for a snug fit. Our initial experience with Resound Linx 3D, with respect to the sound quality, was good. Most sounds were essentially normal for quiet environments, while noisy environments were noisy, without being overbearing. Speech in noise perception was good in both quiet and noisy places. Music listening over speakers was enjoyable, we were not able to test live music. The ReSound Smart 3D app lets you control your hearing aids directly from your smartphone mobile device, thus helping you stream with Resound Linx 3D. You can change programs, and make simple or more advanced sound adjustments and save them as favorites. The app helps you learn what you can do and how to do it. It can even help you find your hearing aids if you lose them. Last, but not least, you can have your hearing care professional update your hearing aid programs and send you new hearing aid software without taking a trip to the clinic. This ability to have your hearing aids remotely modified by the hearing care practitioner is a relatively new concept, and I am unsure if I like it or not, but it is interesting.”
