COPENHAGEN, Denmark--()--Today, ReSound introduced the first hearing aid app designed specifically for Apple Watch. Available immediately to Apple Watch wearers, the ReSound Smart™ app for Apple Watch offers a new, streamlined user experience, allowing users to take advantage of seamless, on-the-go control, right from their wrist. The ReSound Smart app for Apple Watch marks the latest of the company’s efforts to bring forward-looking solutions and greater levels of empowerment to people seeking to take control over their hearing loss.

Through the ReSound Smart app for Apple Watch, users have access to the same level of intuitive Smart Hearing personalization they have come to expect from ReSound, putting the app’s most-used features directly on their wrist. Through the app, users can:

  • Set preferred volume levels

Users with ReSound LiNX2™ can also experience a new level of smart hearing customization with easy access to sound enhancer controls for comfort in noisy or windy environments.

“As technology advances, we will continue to push the limits and revolutionize what is possible in terms of hearing aid control. ReSound is excited to offer people simple, on-the-go Smart Hearing personalization through the ReSound Smart app for Apple Watch,” said GN ReSound CEO Anders Hedegaard. “We are always striving to bring our users the most innovative solutions; the ReSound Smart app for Apple Watch is an extension of that philosophy. It is control as it should be, combined with the most advanced, natural hearing experience provided by ReSound’s portfolio of Smart Hearing aids.”
