In 2008, ReSound launched their new product know as the Dot, one of the smallest hearing aids at the time. The Dot is a tiny, discreet BTE (Behind The Ear) hearing aid designed for people suffering with mild to profound hearing loss. Although it has only one style, it is available in a wide range of colours. Not only is the Dot cosmetic looking, it is also extremely lightweight. Weighing around the same as a paperclip, you will hardly even know it is there.
It has three levels of technology, designed for different types of listening environments. The Resound Dot 10 Hearing Aids is suitable for quiet listening environments, such as your own home. The Resound Dot 20 Hearing Aids is designed for environments with more of a moderate noise level. If you find yourself frequently in places or situations with a noisier, more demanding listening environment then the Resound Dot 30 Hearing Aids would be the most suitable option.
The Dot range of hearing aids are available with several features, these include:
In conclusion, the Dot has three levels of technology to cater for different levels of hearing loss and lifestyle. It is a discreet BTE (Behind The Ear) hearing aid available in a range of colours. The Dot has now been superseded by the Alera and Verso ranges which offer a number of discreet models, wireless compatibility and a much faster processor.
