Golf and hearing go well together. Golf is a sport that is played outdoors, where the notions of well-being and conviviality are important, and where sound is key. “, explained Xavier Temmos, General Manager of GN France, to our partner Audition TV. This is how, two years ago, GN formed a partnership with the French Golf Federation, which will continue through the GN Hearing Trophy. On the occasion of the last date of the year 2024, which took place at the Guyancourt National Golf Course on September 15, golfers were made aware of hearing health and were able to test their hearing. As for the invited hearing care professionals, they were able to discover the manufacturer’s latest innovations. And there were plenty.
First, GN is expanding its ReSound Nexia range, with “ its smallest non-rechargeable wireless In-the-canal (ITC) hearing aid (312 battery) and a new rechargeable wireless Behind-the-ear (BTE) CROS solution “. Both devices support the Auracast protocol.
The manufacturer also offers a new accessory: the Multi Mic+, which assists users in noisy environments. It is the first microphone compatible with Auracast, but also with the electromagnetic loop and FM systems. The new Multi-Mic+ technology increases the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR/RSB) by at least 10.6 dB compared to adaptive directivity “, reports GN.
The fitting software gets an update. ReSound SmartFit 2.0 completes the ecosystem. GN promises more intuitive fittings, an improved interface and faster workflows: “ The new ReSound Smart Fit 2.0 delivers a 33-second improvement in click speed and a 62% reduction in the number of clicks when selecting preferences and settings. »
Finally, GN launched ReSound Nexia in performance level 4: a class I device. We wanted to make Nexia technology available to all patientsrejoices Jean-Baptiste Lemasson, audiologist at GN.This is the first time that a Class I hearing aid has been offered with today’s modern technology. » Three models are available: two RIEs (312 battery and 13 battery) and a non-wireless CIC (10 battery).
