Lost….But Found By Dr. Richard Reikowski, Au.D Family Hearing and Balance Center

After changing his shirt he noticed that his left hearing device was lost. He looked everywhere, downstairs, upstairs, each room in the house with no success.

He then went into the Resound Smart App and recalled that he had the ability to locate the exact location of his lost hearing device within the “Finder” section of the app. He was tracking the device in real-time, and found that as he was walking, the hearing aid was moving with him. He stopped, and noticed on the iPhone Resound Smart App that it was then located at his home address. He was amazed to find that it was on the inside pocket of his shirt the whole time. It’s truly amazing to see the success and detail of GPS location.

 

Losing a hearing aid has become a thing of the past for those wearing the Resound LiNX2 digital hearing aids!

Thank you D.H. for sharing this wonderful story.

    That is awesome! More things should connect to an app like that so we can find them. With hearing aids being as small as they are now, this is a life saver for people I’m sure!

    Isn’t that amazing! Peace of mind can come from simply using the GPS system in your phone for those aids equipped with this technology.
