It can be very frustrating needing a hearing aid, let alone choosing which brand of hearing aid to get. You worry if these hearing aids are going to work. You worry how much they will cost. You worry if they will be large enough to look like a neon sign saying “I have hearing problems!” But you can worry less about your hearing aids if you choose GN ReSound hearing aids.

Heard Of The Brand

Even if you’ve never heard of the brand before, you can rest easy knowing that GN ReSound hearing aids are considered industry leaders in hearing aid technology. The ReSound Air hearing aids have even won awards for design from Danish engineers.

Although they have won awards in Denmark and have clients all over the world, GN (Great Nordic) ReSound is American. Their home base is Bloomington, Minnesota. GN ReSound hearing aids come in two types – in the ear (ITE) and behind the ear (BTE). Both kinds are discrete and comfortable.

Where To Find

You have to go to your doctor to get an accurate diagnosis of just why you have hearing loss in order to choose the best GN ReSound hearing aids for you. GN ReSound hearing aids can cost into the thousands of dollars per pair, so you want to be sure of your investment. You can go to your General Practitioner or Primary Care Physician; a specialist in Ear, Nose and Throat; or an audiologist, who specializes in helping people to hear better. If you can’t get a referral to the specialists from your GP or PCP, check with your health insurance or with the Department of Health in your state.

You will be given several hearing tests to define precisely what noises you can and can’t hear. They will also double check that your hearing loss isn’t due to any undiagnosed medical condition. Then, if it is determined that you can be helped by GN ReSound hearing aids, you enter the world of movie stars and rock stars. You get a latex impression made of your ear. This “pseudoear” will help everyone involved determine the best fit for your ear without you having to be present all of the time.

Your GP or specialist will then order the GN ReSound hearing aids and send the fake ear off to get your new hearing aids. When they arrive, you get sessions on fitting them in or around your ear, how to work them and how to take care of them. These fitting sessions can involve programming your GN ReSound hearing aids with a computer to be sure they are fine tuned just for your ears.
