ReSoundAIR provides comfortable listening in both noisy and quiet environments. The instrument continually listens to sounds in the user's environment, determining whether individual sounds are speech, background noise or a mixture of both. Its fast-acting speech identification and noise reduction systems prevent over-amplification of unwanted background noise to enhance the audibility of conversation.

ReSoundAIR works incredibly quickly - reducing background noise before, during and after the speech signal and letting the wearer hear the full message, no matter how brief. The secret lies in "fast-syllabic" noise reduction that works so swiftly that it not only reduces background noise when there is no speech but even cuts down noise in the tiny pauses between syllables or words.

ReSoundAIR is the first instrument to incorporate the technologies required for a true open fitting design. And the benefits are immediate. For example, since ReSoundAIR has no ear mould or device shell, sound from a telephone receiver is unhindered as it enters the ear canal.

So wearers can use telephones and mobile phones normally without having to first remove the instrument and with a minimum of bothersome feedback squeal or radio frequency interference.

Telephone headsets fit right on top too, enabling ReSoundAIR wearers to hear with little difficulty even in environments that demand heavy telephone use.
