Update - New information
This hearing aid has now been superseded. The aids available in Resound's newest range are the LiNX2 9, the LiNX2 7 and the LiNX2 5. If you are working to a budget and are looking for a more basic hearing aid you may want to look at the Enya 4, Enya 3 or Enya 2
The Live 5 is the third level of technology in the Live range by ReSound. Like the Live 7 and 9, it is available in a range of models and colours.
Models available
Features include
Like the other Live models, the Live 5 features their innovative iSolate Nanotech technology. Using nanotechnology, they apply a highly waterproof coating to the hearing aid. This can prolong the life of the hearing aid by protecting it from substances such as earwax or water.
In conclusion, despite being the third level of technology down, the Live 5 still has a good range of features. It still offers feedback suppression and noise reduction but at only 9 channels, it has 8 less than both the Resound Live 9 and Resound Live 7. Wireless compatibility is not available in the Live range. If this is something that would appeal to you then you may want to try the Alera 5. The Alera can be wireless enabled and has its own range of wireless accessories available known as Unite. You can view the complete range from Resound Live Hearing Aids here.
