Minneapolis, MN (October 7, 2009) - ReSound is pleased to announce the introduction of ReSound LiveTM - an exclusive hearing device with a surround sound processor.

Vibrant and detailed sound
ReSound Live is the first hearing device with a surround sound processor. Surround Sound by ReSoundTM is different from other hearing aid processors because it first distinguishes bass and treble separately, and then blends them into a smooth overall sound. The wearer experiences more distinct high-pitched sounds (birds chirping), and richer low-pitched sounds (a purring cat).
Improved understanding of speech
Advanced directional technology including the new feature AutoScopeTM automatically narrows on conversations in noisier situations. Understanding of speech is clearer and enhanced regardless of background noise. This alleviates a primary frustration of those with hearing loss: difficulty hearing conversation in busy places, like a loud restaurant.
Prevent whistling
Less sophisticated hearing aids generate feedback (or "whistle") when their processors are overloaded. Other people can hear the whistling; a potentially embarrassing situation. ReSound Live features an advanced feedback suppression system with Whistle ControlTM. This smart device monitors sound levels and deploys Whistle Control, only if necessary, to prevent feedback.

Lifestyle
An active lifestyle demands a hearing device that can keep pace. ReSound Live provides the best sound technology available from ReSound, to improve hearing in every situation. Choose a combination of technology level, model, color and even an option to custom-mold to the ear's shape, to have a device that matches the wearer perfectly. And, it provides freedom and convenience when talking on a mobile phone through Bluetooth wireless compatibility.
