The products were recognized in both the “Health & Pharmaceuticals Product” and “Technical Innovation of the Year” categories (for organizations with 1,000 or more employees) of the 16th Annual American Business Awards®, one of the nation’s premier business awards programs.

ReSound LiNX 3D and Beltone Trust were specifically recognized for their pioneering remote fine-tuning abilities. allowing hearing aid users to contact their hearing care professionals (HCPs) via the cloud to make adjustments remotely to their hearing instruments without having to visit a clinic. This feature is particularly helpful for users who have limited mobility, live in rural areas, are living active lives, have busy careers, or need to travel long distances to visit their HCPs. Recent research shows significantly higher satisfaction rates among users of the remote cloud based fine-tuning ability, not only in their interaction with HCPs, but also with their overall hearing experience.

“We are extremely proud to be recognized for this innovation in tele-audiology, which is proving to be a life-changer for many with hearing loss,” said Kim Lody, president of GN Hearing North America. “This cutting-edge hearing technology platform will continually broaden the services offered by HCPs to their patients, allowing them to strengthen that critical relationship.”
