Choosing a technology level
The housing is the same across levels; what changes is how much the hearing aid does for you automatically in noise, and that is where most of the price difference sits. ReSound does not publish a level range for this family, so the table below is its full scale rather than this model's range. Ask your provider to confirm which levels you are being offered.
| Level | Positioning | Best suited for |
|---|---|---|
| 9 | Premium | The full feature set, including the widest access to the AI and DNN noise processing on families that have it. |
| 7 | Advanced | Regular social, working and restaurant listening, with most of the automatic features. |
| 5 | Mid | Everyday listening with moderate activity and some challenging noise. |
| 4 | Entry within the platform | Predictable environments with occasional background noise. |
| 3 | Essentials | Quieter routines, on the value and entry families. |
| 2 | Basic | The most basic tier, offered on the entry families only. |
