iSolate Nanotech
In July 2010, ReSound released iSolate Nanotech technology to add a protective nano-scale polymer coating to hearing aids to protect them from moisture, humidity, and perspiration.
iSolate nanotech works by coating all elements of the hearing aid with a thin protective layer that bonds at a molecular level with the internal and external components to ensure no water can be absorbed.
Microphone design
The ReSound microphone design is engineered to use the natural shape of the ear to improve hearing. Microphone design helps maintain natural and directional localisation cues through microphone placement in the concha cymba area of the pinna. Because Behind-the-Ear (BTE) and some traditional custom hearing aids have inefficient microphone placement, distortion can occur if sound collection from the pinna is not utilised. Taking advantage of the pinna effect helps to preserve natural localisation and directional cues.
