About the ReSound LiNX2
The ReSound LiNX2 bills itself as "the world's first full family of smart hearing aids." What does this mean exactly? As far as we know Resound is the first to offer made-for-iPhone hearing aids in a full family of styles (includes everything from behind-the-ear to "invisible in-the-ear" instruments) . Beltone offers a very similar line of hearing aids, but considering that Beltone is a subsidiary of GN ReSound, we think ReSound really does have a claim to fame here. The LiNX2 is the upgraded version of the original LiNX hearing aid model, which was only offered in behind-the-ear (BTE) models.
The RIE 62 model (the product featured on this page) is a welcome new addition to the family, as it is the smallest BTE model with a size 13 battery. This means greater battery life for all that battery-intensive audio streaming, and a break from the battery-life woes of streaming with a 312 battery.
