Plus5

Why is Plus5 a better choice than competitive hearing instruments?

While Plus5 offers specific advantages over individual hearing instruments, in general Plus5 performs better than competitive products in:

Feedback suppression
ReSound invented out of phase feedback cancellation. This cutting edge approach that many other manufacturers have yet to develop ensures the whistling of your hearing instrument will be kept to a minimum.

Audibility
You buy a hearing instrument so that you can hear better. Many competitive aids actually reduce the gain they give you to prevent side effects such as feedback. This means you do not hear as well as you could. If a hearing instrument reduces gain in any way you are not getting what you paid for.

Open comfort
ReSound invented Open fittings. This fitting approach eliminated many of the most common complaints surrounding the comfort of a hearing instrument. These fittings are only possible because ReSound invented the fastest hearing instrument processor available. ReSound's Warp processor is still unrivaled in the industry.

What do I give up by purchasing Plus5 instead of Pixel, Metrix or Azure?

Plus5 will offer a reduced level of speech understanding in noisy environments versus Pixel, Metrix or Azure hearing instruments. However Pixel will offer performance in noise that is unrivaled by competitive products in its price range.

Plus5 also does not offer your hearing healthcare professional as refined of fitting capabilities as Metrix, Pixel, Azure. You will notice this as you transition between different listening environments. The performance and personalized comfort enabled by Azure Pixel or Metrix will create the most comfortable listening available.
