ReSound LiNX Quattro: The Revolutionary Hearing Aid of 2018
In 2018, the world witnessed several significant events. Sadly, a devastating wildfire ravaged Paradise, California, becoming the deadliest in the state’s history. On a brighter note, the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, brought nations together in a celebration of athletic prowess. Meanwhile, the scientific community mourned the loss of renowned physicist Stephen Hawking. Amidst these global happenings, ReSound introduced a game-changing hearing aid: the LiNX Quattro.
Although the LiNX Quattro is no longer available for purchase, many users continue to rely on this device for their hearing needs. However, as technology has advanced rapidly since its release, it’s worth considering how newer models might offer improved experiences.
What Was Special About the ReSound LiNX Quattro?
The LiNX Quattro was a sleek and discreet device that packed a punch in terms of features and capabilities. It was the first ReSound hearing aid to incorporate their groundbreaking Surround Sound by ReSound™ technology, promising users a more natural and immersive listening experience.
One of the standout features was its superior streaming capability. Users could enjoy high-quality audio directly from smartphones, televisions, or computers through their hearing aids. While impressive at the time, today’s hearing aids offer even more seamless connectivity with multiple devices simultaneously.
The LiNX Quattro also boasted ReSound’s innovative Binaural Directionality III and Spatial Sense™ technology, designed to enhance speech understanding in noisy environments and provide a more accurate sense of sound directionality. However, current models have further refined these technologies, offering even better noise reduction and spatial awareness.
Comfort and personalization were key factors in the LiNX Quattro’s design. Available in Receiver-In-Ear (RIE), Receiver-In-Canal (RIC), and Behind-The-Ear (BTE) styles, it catered to various levels of hearing loss and personal preferences. The device was compatible with the ReSound Smart 3D app, allowing users to adjust settings on the go and create customized programs for different environments.
Are You a ReSound LiNX Quattro Wearer?
If you’re still using the LiNX Quattro, you might be experiencing some challenges as the device approaches the end of its typical lifespan. Hearing aids generally last between 4-7 years, and your LiNX Quattro is now about five years old. While it was cutting-edge in 2018, hearing aid technology has made significant strides since then.
You may find that newer models offer improved sound quality, better connectivity options, and more advanced features that could enhance your hearing experience. Additionally, your current device may not be performing as well as it once did due to natural wear and tear.
