These gifts will make their life easier and more enjoyable for a long time to come.
Fighting Over the TV Volume? Get a Streamer
Watching TV is difficult when you have a hearing loss. Not with the ReSound TV Streamer 2. This nifty gadget transforms hearing aids into wireless headphones for TV, computers, and stereos. The ReSound TV Streamer 2 lets your loved one set their own volume in their hearing aids separately from the volume you hear in the room. Yes, that means you’ll both be able to enjoy movies, TV shows, radio shows, and your favorite music together again.
Upgrade their Hearing Aid
Does your loved one have an old-style hearing aid? Modern hearing aids like the LiNX Quattro could revolutionize their hearing experience. This unrivaled device boasts every type of streaming imaginable, brilliant sound quality, and the benefit of personalization and support from ReSound Assist. It’s the world’s most advanced, rechargeable hearing aid, and your loved one deserves the best.
Have Trouble with Phone Calls? Try a Caption Phone
Caption phones convert what the person on the other end of the phone says into text that appears almost instantly on the caption phone’s display. They’re usually free. Simply sign up to apply for one.
They Don’t Hear their Morning Alarm? Try a SmartShaker
The SmartShaker is a small vibrating pad that slips under your loved one’s pillow. Hook it up to a smartphone, and it’ll gently shake them awake when their smartphone alarm rings.
Tinnitus Trouble? The ReSound Relief App Saves the Day
If your loved one is exhausted and stressed out by the constant din of tinnitus, the ReSound Relief app will help them to get the sleep, concentration, and hearing clarity they’ve been missing. It masks any kind of tinnitus. Get the easy-to-use app on their smartphone or tablet, and your loved one can use it with any headphones or Bluetooth enabled hearing aids.
Gifts that Keep on Giving
Does your loved one have a hearing problem they don’t want to face? The biggest gift you can give them is to take them to a hearing test where a supportive and understanding team of Audiologists can help them to hear better.
